The band’s sound is marked by complex rhythms, often featuring odd time signatures, and darkly poetic lyrics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of their standout albums include Pawn Hearts (1971), H to He, Who Am the Only One (1970), and Still Life (1976). Popular songs from these albums include “A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers”, “Lemmings”, “The Sleepwalkers”, and “Man-Erg”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Van Der Graaf Generator is that they were one of the first progressive rock bands to be signed to a major record label, Charisma Records.
