Like "In a Glass House", it doesn't imediately click. But it's one of their best. Can't go wrong with GG 70-77. I even enjoy most of "Giant for a day!"soundave said:

I need an opinion or two on
Van Der Graaf Generator - Present and Aerosol Grey Machine.
...good albums, or just bookends?

why dont you branch out a bit? why buy 8 VDGG albums and leave so many other bands untouched in the meantime?
you guys do the same thing with gentle giant too, from what i can tell.

Amazon keeps recommending Caravan, but no...just to spite YOU.

I'm assuming the GG reference was directed towards me, but maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, truth be told, it's mostly about what I can get easily. It's not ideal, but given my budget and my tastes (in other words, as a stay at home dad, I don't have a ton of money, but constantly want new music), I get the majority of my music on eMusic. It's not vinyl. I don't get the artwork and all that. But, imo, discovering a band is about the music. Besides, it's legal, and compensates the artists, which is important to me.
But, I am limited by what they have, though they're always expanding. They happen to have Gentle Giant and Popol Vuh, for example. So I focus in on that and I keep scouring to see what else they have. I'd love to get more variety, but I'm sort of stuck digging deeper into artists they have, hoping they'll pick up some new ones along the way. It's actually what happened with Popol Vuh. They were on my watch list for a while before eMusic picked them up.
Anyhow, maybe that explains things a bit.

My dad lent me 8 of his Camel albums (I call him The Progfather.) I was just wondering which I should start off with to best get me into the band? I have:
Breathless
Dust And Dreams
Harbour Of Tears
I Can See Your House From Here
Nod and a Wink
Rain Dances
Stationary Traveller
The Snow Goose

I wonder if your star rating tally's with allmusics when you play your Dads Camel collection...

Thanks guys. And yeah, I usually check out what allmusic say about a band when choosing what album I listen to. Hell, allmusic reviews got me listening to Opeth.

I don't know how rare they are or not, but I bought a few Gentle Giant albums and I'm really liking it. Just thought I'd revive this thread with that little note.

this thread has reached its expiration date apparently. the demographic of this forum is riverside and dragonforce fans exclusively apparently.
