Every progressive rock fan should be familiar with Van Der Graaf Generator's 1971 masterpiece "Pawn Hearts". Which of the three tracks is your personal favourite? ![]() My personal favourite is Lemmings, which contains some of progressive rock's most haunting lyrical imagery and my favourite vocal performance of all time.

I am currently digging:
Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

"A Plague ...". I wouldn't say "Lemmings" could compete with it since "A Plague ..." has more time with more interesting ideas.

This. Man-erg is one of the three best VdGG songs - in my book, A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers whas the first sign that 20+ minute epics are not their strongest side. Edited by someone_else - January 22 2014 at 03:45 |

Indeed. I think I've only got all the way through Plague twice. It reaches a point where it just becomes unlistenable and annoying to me. |

Plague is amazing, although I can only really listen to the album as a unit.

"I know that there's no time. I know that there's no rhyme." ![]() Still, I am one of the few that will pick Lemmings. I like that one a lot.

![]() A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers may be my all time favorite epic, and 100% is my favorite VDGG song.
