Well then let one of them explain.
Because Ummagumma represents to me the breaktrough of experimantal, as a part of the Rock movement. This was the album that defined the possibility to create music, where the total sounds created was more important than what notes was played. Never before did the Rock movement create such a perfect and crazy sound picture, and make it sucessfull.
Van der graf made a fine album, but in my book, not anything very special, compared to a lot of other prog albums hitting the shops in 1971.
If you look at music the way i do, time becomes very important, I cant come up with anything as interesting and
revolutionary as Ummagumma, released at the same time or before it was. (KC may be the only thing, but very diffrent)
On the other hand i can come up with quite a few proggy albums, that you could compare to Pawn Heart(s) at this point in time we had Crimson, Gentle Gaint, Yes, Genesis, Tull, releasing super albums.
You may say it dossent matter, but it does to me. |
Yep. Voted for Ummagumma for the same reason. That Lp is also a very important bit in the jig zaw puzzle that became Pink Floyd. Take a close listen to The Narrow Way and you'll hear the future sound of Pink Floyd.

Well.....they can carry a tune at least.

...and cure one of insomnia (*ducks*)
I have to say though that, while I love his singing style, the best putdown of PH's singing (that I actually laughed out loud when I heard) was someone saying he sounded like an old guy yelling at kids to get off his lawn! You can kind of see why it would strike someone like that if it's not their cuppa. |
That image of the old man yelling at kids is hilarious............... ......I recall those days when I was a kid.
I really like VDGG's music and compositions but I just can't get into PH's vocal stylings on many of the songs yet I like his singing on his solo albums at times....go figure.

Well, Gilmour can for sure. Close call between Waters and Hamill though.

Yep....
