One of the top 3 prog albums of all time for me...an absolute masterpiece Wink

A worthy album that's among the best by the band, so the choices didn't apply for me.

It might have been even better with a bit less avant-garde, but overall a highlight of the progressive era.

For me, A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is probably the most coherent and most entertaining 20+minutes long epic I've ever heard.

Option #2 fits this album very well. Man-erg is one of my favourite VdGG songs, Lemmings is quite good (I prefer the excellent Metropolis Studios version), A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers just average and their first proof that long epics are not their strongest side.

Still Life > Godbluff > H to He > A Grounding in Numbers > Pawn Hearts

One of the finest creations of prog rock, but not the best VDGG album (IMO that is Least We Can Do is Wave)
 
Therefore no vote, as none of the options apply.

Option #1. Probably in my top 10. Brimming with creativity.

Graphomaniac ... I gotta laugh. Who does that?

Thoroughly engaging after multiple listens.

One of the best albums, but not VdGG's best. That would be Godbluff.

Imma go with the second option. The best for me is definetly H to He and it gets a little boring towards the middle of APOLK. But a really great listen in general.

When it is good, it is really wonderful, but it's got some moments I don't really care much about, so I don't really think any of this options sound right for me. Man-Erg is a really wonderful songs, and half of Lighthouse Keepers too... but the other half is just too noisy, and then the new melodies just aren't as great as the first ones. Lemmings I don't really care about.

Really good album, but really overrated.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

How does everyone think Lighthouse Keepers holds when compared to other classic-era epics?

The epitome of prog rock. 

Always an enjoyable listen. 

Somehow always makes me grin listening to it. Something that a lot of classic albums stopped doing a while ago.

Props to the boys.

While I personally prefer Still Life, this is a great album - one of the finest ever created by a prog band - and absolutely essential to any prog collection.

One of the best Prog rock has to offer.
