While they were never a chart band, Van der Graaf Generator's thousands of fans worldwide are fanatical. They were the first band signed to Charisma records in 1969 - before Genesis and Lindisfarne. No progressive rock band could ever be said to be a household name, but Van der Graaf Generator, celebrating their fiftieth anniversary in 2018, rarely enjoyed that distinction even in the households of many prog fans. VdGG, and the band's main creative force, Peter Hammill, really only had one foot in prog - the other pivoted between more straight-ahead rock, wild experimentation, and at times, brutal noise. VdGG reformed in 2005 and are still going strong. This book will explore what these musicians, and legions of dedicated fans, found so inspiring over the years.
