Spinal Tap!?! I could not disagree more. Polar opposites more appropriate.
The emotion and depth of just this one performance of this one song alone refute any argument otherwise.
Van der Graaf have always been rolling in the real world, looking at themselves closer than anyone wants to see and making music about it. The only cucumbers around are sliced on the catering table, if at all there. Their Stonehenge, large or small, is in the minds of their audience.
There was certainly a time when Van der Graaf had a lot of drama going on around them. They might even have done their fair share of drugs, but having seen them live several occasions since 1975, their style was depth not hype.
Van Der Graaf Generator is a fantastic prog-rock band I discovered this summer. If you have never listento this band before, I advise you to listen to Still Life, one of their best albums !
Izvrsno, besprijekorno, najbolje. Mount Everest.

Well said, sodderboy. Van der Graaf Generator are one of a kind. There has never been another band quite like them. I really enjoyed this clip

Yo llevo escuchándolos 30 años !!!!. Si te gustó "Still Life" escucha "Over" de P.Hammill en solitario.

Really awesome! Thanks for adding.
I really love that Hammill's voice (and style) didn't changed that much through 30+ years.
I think VdGG shines nearly same as they shined 30+ years ago. (Only I miss Jackson.)
