Van Der Graaf Generator: Pawn Hearts
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Peter Hammill was called the Jimi Hendrix of the voice, while Dave Jackson was referred to as the Van Gogh of the sax. Excellent music... masterful. But come on, I’ll adjust my aim and give the highest marks.

    Better :) I love to nitpick about this album; after all, it's one of my all-time favorites. Wasn't it Buckley who was described more or less that way ("he did with his voice what Hendrix did with the electric guitar")? Details, Hammill is up there in Olympus right next to Tim.

    Lee Underwood (Buckley's guitarist) said that Buckley did with his voice what Hendrix did with the electric guitar; the same thing Robert Fripp (who collaborated numerous times with Hammill) says about Hammill...

    Authoritative opinions. Thank you for the clarification :)

    I was about to say the same thing as Tim, but that annoying HJ beat me to it. XD Anyway, I didn't know about what Bob Fripp said. :)

    Yeah :D Anyway, both Lee and Bob are right.

    Well done bluesboy94...
A lot of inspiration, although in my opinion, PAWN HEARTS is better... After quite some time, I listened to them again just yesterday.

    Well, yes, Pawn Hearts is better, if we want to include H to He, but at these levels "better" practically doesn't exist. At least for me, at least with them :)

    Here are "After the Flood" and "Darkness", but above all there is "Refugees". You cannot put 4.

    Alright, he gave a 4 to a bunch of albums, that's his grading method. The score is just a little game; what's important is that he enjoys it. Oh, you forgot "White Hammer," you can't forget that one, Syd.

    Of course I like it... we're talking about great music and musicians with "balls".

Deadly hard rock
It makes me smile and dance
Considered the top Italian rocker. Huh? Many doubts... I've always hated it. This "work," however, is acceptable.
Nocturne with blues and jazz tones.

Gordon Gano's voice is reminiscent of Black Francis (or Frank Black) from the Pixies.

    Black Francis's voice is similar to Gano's :) Great V.F.

    Correct observation... Artistically, Gano's band was born first...
