Like both but by a narrow margin Crimson

Van der Graaf Generator by a wiiide margin. A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers by itself is better than anything Crimson ever did.

Right now, I would definitely prefer VDGG discography. But court of the crimson king is better than any thing VDGG ever did so voting crimson

Peak achievements = Tie While KC has four albums of "super elite" quality (1, 3, 5, 7), none of them wins convincingly with Godbluff or Pawn Hearts. Prime = King Crimson (small gap) If there was a competition between KC's and VDGG's best 3-5 albums, Crimson would have it, but the difference is miniscule. Gap would grow bigger with 8-10 albums comparison, though... Unless we include PH solo stuff to VDGG catalogue, but that's cheating. Late career = Van Der Graaf Generator (by default) Only 1 full LP with new studio material since 2000 for King Crimson. VDGG takes it by default, although Present was a very respectable album. I miss David Jackson though. Influence on me = King Crimson I love labyrinthine, brooding textures of early VDGG and I can't deny they made my mind travel to a really distant, unique places in the past... BUT King Crimson completely reinvigorated my interest in progressive music as a teenager, so that's a kicker. King Crimson wins by a tiny amount.

Van Der Graaf Generator
The polls would be interesting to have some of their albums against each other. Some tough choice polls for sure.

Oh, VDGG... I do like KC (up to 1975), but for me, there's no contest

Both are truly great, but, since I like Red and Usa better than any studio or live VDGG album, I have to vote Crimson.

I'm the same. Strangely enough, I'd rather listen to Discipline than VDGG; I just find their music more palatable, even though VDGG's clearly their biggest influence.
