I would have to say that Van Der Graaf Generator are really really good. They have produced some of the finest music and totally deserve to be one of the top bands however I do not consider them to be Gods. I have had many o' arguments with my father on this matter LoL which are funny ,we don't agree basically. Yet we agree that Peter Hammill is a God , his strong voice and fantastic lyrics make him a Genius. He truly is amazing. Oi Velvet, yur gonnae turn Fragile into a couring timerous wee 'hing .

I have a Zappa lp. I use it as a coaster. It's rough usage has probably damaged it. It sounds all scratchy, like fingers down a chalk board. Very abrasive. Good., still in perfect shape.
Kindly point me at a Zappa lp that isn't utter noise and perhaps I'll change my mind. I mean I could beat on my computer desk, squeak alot, and pluck a few random strings on my guitar and I am sure know one will be evavating me to godlike statis. Why don't you pick a rock hero whose songs have "some" structure!
