Very, very hard. Both are in my top 10 favorite bands. Both have some amazing albums, but in the end my vote goes to VDGG

Like many others, both are in my top ten. However, I prefer a VD with my GG.

Heh, GG vs. VdGG...
 
I like Gentle Giant. I really like it. But...
 
I shall vote for Van der Graaf Generator, because it is my favourite group, that's it...

Agreed, I won't vote though.

  I just consider both of these bands at about the same level ... though I prefer Gentle Giant slightly more ... an even poll is a good poll in my books lets see what happens   ! Wink

Strictly speaking --> your poll isn't stupid, but - for me - very difficult Smile

Difficult choice...I vote for GG, I find VdGG are a band I admire, but their music is difficult to warm to...(this from a guy who likes TMV!!??)

Gentle Giant by far. I quite like some of VDGG's instrumental music, but those vocals wreck it for me. Funny, if you'd asked me 25 years ago, I'd have said I hated both of them.

GG with the letters Vd in front of it
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

We should ask you again in another 25 years.

Van Der Graaf Generator. Gentle Giant are excellent and very intresting, but VDGG are at the top of it all!
