Prog Album of the Week - Week 62 (11/24/2014): Van Der Graaf Generator - H To He, Who Am The Only One

As always, we encourage participation from everyone - if you've never heard the album, there's a YouTube link provided! Go check it out and report back!

Welcome to the sixty-second of r/progrockmusic's Album of the Week! Last week we discussed Unreal City's La Crudeltà Di Aprile and that was lovely.

If you'd like to peruse previous weeks' discussions, please visit the archive.

Well, we had to get around to it at some point. It's a good album, probably... maybe great, maybe amazing, maybe the best prog album ever... opinions sure are mixed with this bunch...

####Potential Discussion Questions:

• 1970 was an interesting time for progressive rock. It was still very young but I can't help but feel this album sounds incredibly mature. How would you compare the sound of H to He, Who Am the Only One with other VDGG records? How does it compare to other early-era prog records?

• How would you personally rate the album?

• Are there any moments on the album you consider particularly strong or particularly weak (i.e., favourite/least favourite moments)?
