What do you think is the best VdGG album strictly lyrically? So, music in there shouldn't affect your vote, only lyrics.

I don't pay that much attention when it comes to lyrics, but the two albums that strike me as the best lyrically are Godbluff and Still Life. I'll vote Godbluff.

Still Life, oh god wow, one of the only album's where it's affected me more lyrically and vocally, opposed to the musicianship. Those last few minutes of Childlike Faith are absolutely incredible - so blunt and impressionable - and the voice to go with it too. Only Peter Hammill could get away with something like that!

I don't think a rock critic would know a "smart-*** one liner" if it bit them in the ***. ![]() Back on topic, I think Still Life has the best lyrics, with Godbluff being a close second. |

Shame I couldn't vote for Godbluf and Still Life at the same time. Voted for Godbluff because it have less votes now.

Pawn Hearts. 'A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers' lyrics are purely cathartic.
