1603 Van der Graaf Generator - Whatever Would Robert Have Said?

1603 Van der Graaf Generator - Whatever Would Robert Have Said?

From: The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other, Year: 1970
Genre: Progressive Rock

I've been really digging this album for the last little bit ever since I first got a chance to hear it; this is one of my favourite tracks off of the album. This song really fits the definition of Progressive Rock to a tee; it actually reminds me a lot of earlier David Bowie, especially the vocals.
From what I understand the Robert they are referring to is supposedly Robert J. Van de Graaff, who was the inventor of the Van De Graaff Generator from which the band got its name.
