If we're going prog, I used to love Marillion's album covers

and

But they also gave us this monumentally bad offering

Not sure if it's already been posted but the is one of my faves.



Doesn't work as well on screen though.

What about The Rolling Stones - Satanic Majesty's Request.

Sorry, but I can't post a picture. Probably wouldn't work well on the screen anyway but the original cover was different(in a 3-D kind of way).

I think this is the first one I bought.

Must have took a lot of courage to admit you bought one of their albums. I'm here in the States and still find it difficult to come to grips with the fact that I actually liked a couple of their songs, let alone admit it to anyone I actually know. :oops: :oops:

Van de graaf generator! It's been a while :shock:

Reminds me of this:-

Gong and Faust were never as good as Van der Graf. Pete Hammil is doing a tour this summer I'll try and get to the Glasgow gig - van der Graf occasionally get together but don't see anything in the near future.

However, I have this -





-the original clear version, in the attic.

Wonder if that is worth anything?

Still a great group but a bit lacking since Jan Ackerman left.

Ah, you guys are talking my language! Thirty years on and I know every note, word, scratch and plink on this off by heart. Their finest work I reckon.

For me -van der Graf were the best Prog group ever (Court of the Crimson King is the best prog album though)

My mate - who was a Springsteen fan - did me a tape of 'Nebraska' on one side and 'The River' on the other - and I played that tape over and over for years. Loved it.

My mate didn;t like them so much - but knew I would.

I'm in the states too and I still prefer their version of Louie, Louie over the Kingsmen.

Great group

I agree - one of my all time fave bands. However, IMHO, "Dance of the Lemmings" was their creative high point

fluff.

I had a sticker of this on my A-Level chemistry folder, I failed chemistry but the album was brilliant, though it turned out to be New Orders last decent record.

A group out of time - they came too soon to be included on the 'That's what I call a bunch of w@nkers' compilation.

True, "Run" is an excellent track.
