Okay, winnowed down the contestants from the previous two poll threads, choosing the top three vote-getters from each. Enjoy.

Hammill still stands tall against these guys.
He's just too good.
I'd like to see which classic VdGG album people think Hammill shines most on, lyrically.

There, I fixed it for you. Anyway, went with Ian Anderson. Excellent from a poetic standpoint, satiric and snide at turns, and often bawdy and humorous, but always blessed with a superb turn of a phrase.
