 I think this has been done before, why compare these two I do not understand. What's next Moodies vs Gojira? Gentle Giant vs Meshuggah? |

VdGG's "Still Life" is one of my favourite albums ever, whereas Opeth is prog metal - ugh!

No vote as I have not heard the Opeth album. VdGG's Still Life is in my top 20, though.

I love progressive metal but still never really took to Opeth.

I'm indifferent to progressive metal, but for some reason, took to Opeth like a duck to water. I saw them supporting Dream Theater once, and they blew them off the stage. Edited by Blacksword - August 23 2019 at 06:35 |

I've tried with those earlier Opeth albums and it's just not for me.
That VDGG record, on the other hand, is awesome!!!

I like -used to love- Opeth's Morningrise album. Other than that, I'm perfectly okay without Opeth. I was never impressed by their "Still Life", an album that is seen as their biggest masterpiece by the majority.
VDGG is one of my favourite bands, and I very much like their "Still Life". So it shouldn't be difficult to guess which one I've voted for. Edited by Odvin Draoi - August 23 2019 at 11:07 |

Still Life by Opeth is not my favorite Opeth album, but Still Life by VDGG is one of my favorite albums.

I don't know the Opeth album at all so I won't vote.

I think it's because of the names, Van der Graaf Generator sounds kind of like Opeth if you say it with enough of a speech impediment.. Been done several times as I recall. Now Annie Haslam's Still Life album vs. Opeth's I could wrap my brain around. (that might make for interesting contrast). And Fate's Warning's Still Life vs. VdGG's Still Life would be understandable, but actually, I would have sooner seen VdGG up against this Still Life: As it is, it has to be the VdGG for me.
