Van der Graff Generator: Pawn Hearts: VdGG is not the most typical of prog bands, as they never really went for the overtly complex "busy" style of prog. They were much more subtle, and relied very heavily on Peter Hammill's intense vocals and lyrics. Still, one would be hard pressed to look at Pawn Hearts whopping three tracks (including the requisite 23 minute epic) and think they were just another band. Of those three, the stand out is "Man-Erg", which has not only excellent (and sadly timely) lyrics but musters the band's musical forces in the most effective way.
