Neither, really.
Hamill's vocals completely turn me off VDGG and I find their music tends towards dissonant at times, though some of Banton's organ playing is sensational.
Crimson did a few good things but I really don't enjoy Fripp's guitar playing much.
The worst two of the major classic era bands for me.

King Crimson, though Van Der Graaf Generator have made quite a few interesting albums recently.

King Crimson for the consistency and overall more albums i enjoy. If i could include the first 4 Hammill albums then it would be more difficult.

Love both but KC has a better discography. VDGG wins as far as vocals and lyrics though.

VdGG, but not easily. Two of my favourite bands. |

And of course the last true KC album so far was The Power to Believe. Overall I prefer KC, but both do have several masterpieces. I haven't heard the newest two Graaf albums, I'm just not that interested in them without Jackson.

KC definitely has a far more consistent discography, but they've never reached the peaks that have displayed on albums like Still Life, Godbluff and Pawn Hearts. |

Van der Graaf Generator. King Crimson gave us Islands, VdGG gave us H to He, Godbluff and Still Life.

Might be the next Yes vs Genesis!
Tough call, but I vote King Crimson, even though I enjoy both. |
