[Music] Peter Hammill a great unsung British songwriter and performer

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Deserves a thread of his own. Dragged me through the awkward mid late teens moments of introspection. Breathraking lyricist and vocal polemicist. I dedicate this thread to the great man.

My favourite VDGG album. Majestic.

This is the 'song' VDGG did that had everyone gasping in London I mentioned on another thread. This is brutal. An inspiration for The Legendary Pink Dots, Velvet Acid Christ and all other polemicists and artists who stand on the promentary, under lightening, baring all.

Gentler, but poignant. Childhood....

Inspiration for Anarchy in the UK (opening riff) . . . . the track that dragged me in, aling with Ferret....

Can’t have been much of a songwriter if he was unsung.

....featherbird...a track of elegant beauty. He collaborated with Fripp a lot. Must start a Rober Fripp collaborations thread someday

Hope you found some of this of interest, if you were unfamiliar with the great man. That will do for now. Nighty night.

It was his ... oh you know what I meant.
