Subject: Van der Theater?
Date Posted: July 02 2012 at 10:09

Van der Graaf Generator has been a respectable rival in one of the recent polls even for just famous and important band like Pink Floyd. Therefore I'm interested in their confrontation with other bands.

At last a poll where I can vote for VdGG LOL Seem to be voting against them quite a lot these days
I prefer VdGG to DT because there are definitely more VdGG songs than DT songs that I like.

DT. I'm really not that keen on VDGG, preferring the other band in almost all of these polls.

VDGG is a  band I respect more than I enjoy; conversely, DT is a band I enjoy more than I respect.  I vote respectfully this time.

Dream Theater do a fine job, carrying the torch for prog metal, but VDGG are in a different league, imo. They get the vote, without a doubt.

What's the point of having these polls?  We all know no matter what the other choice is there's enough people around here who will vote for ANYTHING BUT Dream Theater that they will always lose.

Dream Theater have done more for progressive music overall compared to VdGG whil no bands have been more important for the underground art movement then VDGG (which includes rock, art and expression from the human mind Wacko), so for progs skelleton and for art rocks core VdGG is more important, but for the body of prog, its fasion status and its candle barer, i think Dream Theater is the most important, they love prog, the musicans in Dream Theater loves prog, and is the most important ambassadors for Prog then any of the todays modern prog bands can say for themselvs, (Steve Wilson is close) though without not always be the most innovative of the lot of todays prog, they certainly cary a high torch of being the most important ambassadore role for prog, thank you for that Dream Theater

I don't say im right but i just feal that way.

DT keyboardist Jordan Rudess is a major VdGG fan and saw the Graafs at their one and only U.S. show back in '76 at NYC's Beacon Theater.* A couple of years ago he asked me to send him the bootleg of that NYC concert he was at so many moons ago (which I of course sent him!). Seems like a cool guy.
 
*I know VdGG has played in the U.S. very recently, but they only played one U.S. concert in their heyday.

I do love both... but I there are so much more songs from DT that I like, so I vote for them. But VDGG are really something special.

I don't get it with polls like this, two very different bands, no common point whatsoever.
what's next? Moody Blues vs Pestilence? Miles Davis vs Death?

VdGG sound like VdGG whereas Dream Theater only sound like Dream Theater.

Van der Graaf Generator are one of my favourite bands. Dream Theater I consider to be extremely pretentious; I never liked them. So if I could still vote my vote would go to VdGG, but Jean already voted for them.

Honestly, about equal for me. Edge to VdGG because of The Sleepwalkers.
