Hahah... great! I began my career of Prog listener from them...
Seriously... a phonetic reason? - both groups have members whose surnames end in [-or]? - Blackmore - Gilmour...
...also both play guitar...

| ...another guess: both groups have two members whose surnames begin with the same letter: Waters and Wright - Pink Floyd, Gillan and Glover - Deep Purple... |

Yeah, except Pink Floyd who had even the same bassist all the time. When Waters left the band I agree with him that PF ceased to exist. The Final Cut was the Final Cut. The rest is Gilmour and the boy(s) playing not so great music or great Waters music.

Close - they both have colours beginning with 'p' as part of their names.
Aside from Pink Floyd, Ritchie Blackmore played in both. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Well,on my copies of Momentary Lapse of Reason,Delicate sound of Thunder,Pulse and Divison Bell,the label says PINK FLOYD.
Plus,I find those albums sound much more like PF than the dreadful Final Cut,wich should have been labeled as a Waters solo album.  ------------- What's gonna come out of my mouth is gonna come out of my soul."Skip Prokop" |

| I like The Final Cut, but it does sound more like a Waters solo album than Pink Floyd. That's why it says on the cover "Requiem for a Post War Dream by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd". |

Both are two of my favourite albums of all time? No no, it can't be that... If you're referring to John Milton for Comus, then you'd be incorrect for saying that name for VdGG, as it was John Minton that had a name check on H to He I believe. I know you're talking about Pawn Hearts, but I thought I'd just clear that up, for anyone else who may have throught of it. -------------

both were added by Prog Lucky?
-------------
|
Posted By: Fassbinder
Date Posted: July 30 2006 at 07:01
| ...another guess: both albums were albums followed by a break (3 years for Comus, 4 years for VdGG)? |
Posted By: Fassbinder
Date Posted: July 30 2006 at 18:25
|
Hands up...
The first phrase in the booklet of the double CD "Song to Comus" is: "With the possible exception of Van der Graaf Generator's equally terrifying Pawn Hearts, it's difficult to imagine that the British underground scene of the early Seventies spawned a more extraordinary album than the debut Comus set."
...but that means nothing...

okay,let me try a more subtle and personal tricky question (mind the tricky part) On which Tangerine Dream album did Jerome Froese (current member, son of Edgar, tra-la-la) made his debut? -------------
|
Posted By: Fassbinder
Date Posted: August 02 2006 at 15:09
|
There may be two options:
a) the question is too difficult;
b) people just don't want to play.
I hope the latter option is wrong.
Personally, I know nothing about both Froeses and about the group Tangerine Dream. I have no nervs to go through their full discography, and after all it is not the purpose of the game.
But where are all the others who do know them?
