I can't in good conscience answer this since I only own H to He and Pawn Hearts. And I'm still split tween those two, likely cause Pawn Hearts is a newer addition. I can't wait to expand my VDGG collection though!

Pawn Hearts is the real work of genius, I really like all other 13 albums but PH is something....not of this world. I can listen to it 10 times a day.PH is the only album in prog to which I would give 100 points out of 100.

Pawn Hearts. It's up there with "Close To The Edge" as one of the most perfectly constructed albums of all time. A beautiful and mindblowing experience from beginning to end.
There's a reason they played "Lemmings" for their very first on-stage reunion. And why at least half the album appears in their setlist for any given concert.
Their other albums are great too, but Pawn Hearts just holds up as something incredibly timeless. |
Well said, thank you!

I've never understood why Refugees was not a hugely famous song.
I suspect that most people whose favourite VDGG era is 1975/76 prefer Still Life to Godbluff.

Funny thing is that Godbluff received 4 votes since my post...
Godbluff is has one weaker track, IMHO..... Sleepwalkers.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

The Least We Can, but I'm really surprised Godbluff has so few votes     
---------------------------------------
I'm guessing that Trisector won't get many votes, but it's in my top 5
Grounding In Numbers is also good, but Trisector is soooooooo much better.

Also, Mr. Fox, your avatar is sexy as hell. 
I think this is my first time seeing a picture of young P. Hawk as a mic-only frontman. Goddamn he pulls it off so well. I think I'm in love.
