In another thread, I stated a belief that true Van der Graaf Generator fans prefer "Pawn Hearts" over "Godbluff". In that thread, I provided some justification for this belief. However, in this thread, I decided to put it to a more direct test. The idea is to not only separate those who prefer "Pawn Hearts" from those who prefer "Godbluff", but to correlate this with who are and who are not VdGG fans.

I am a fan of VDGG, but I'm not that much of a fan of Godbluff. It never got me. Hard to say why, just it doesn't resonate much with me. I wouldn't even put it in the first half of their albums. Pawn Hearts is great though.

Hearing Pawn Hearts made me a fan, plus music off H to He. Godbluff proved much more challenging to me, although I now do like it more. Godbluff is an album that I appreciate to variable degrees depending on the day.

Voting for the first option.

I'd say, with the very little statistic material you can get here, this poll can't prove anything concerning non-fans. Smile

Prophesy, how will you define "a true VdGG fan""?

Being very fond of H to He, Godbluff and Still Life, does it make me one?

I've given this some thought and decided it best to allow the voters to decide for themselves if they are a true VdGG fan. I'm guessing the word "fan" indicates a love of VdGG music that is beyond a mere like of their music. Are VdGG high on a list of the voter's favourite groups?
 
Note that I also included a "dislike both" option, which I assume only applies to non-fans. That's because I wanted non-fans to at least like one of the albums to indicate a preference, rather than voting for the one they hate the least.

If so, I prefer much to be called "aficionado". Big smile

VdGG-fan and voted Pawn Hearts. You're not a real VdGG-fan unless you love it (doesn't have to be your favorite album of theirs of course).

Still Life!

In all seriousness, I voted Godbluff

A better poll would be which is the better VDGG 3 album Run?

Least We Can Do - H to He - Pawn Hearts
VS
Godbluff - Still Life - World Record

I think I'll go make that poll right now actually

I don't see what this poll idea makes it a better one.

Not a big fan of VDGG, but I like their music and respect their work. Pawn Hearts takes my vote, but not by much.
