Still Life.
It contains with Childlike faith the most complete VDGG song, musically and lyrically. Prog for adult.

Pawn Hearts, even though (and I'm painting a target on my back with this one) I think Plague is one of their weaker songs. To me, Lemmings and Man-Erg are the two best cuts they ever recorded, and that's enough to send the album to the top.
It is very close, though. Still Life, Godbluff, and H to He are all fantastic.

Godbluff, due to "The Undercover Man" and "The Sleepwalkers".

Pawn Hearts or Vital. Vital very well might be my favorite album of all time. I don't think I've ever heard anything cooler than Ship of Fool's or Sci-Finance. The low rating on this site is an absolute travesty

They have a big 5, but my absolute favorite is Godbluff. It is really a tough choice. If I had to pick absolutely one favorite track, I may choose Man-Erg... but that can also change. They have so much great music at the absolute highest level. The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other H To He, Who Am The Only One Pawn Hearts Godbluff Still Life

1- Pawn Hearts
2- Godbluff
3- Still Life
To be fair, I like Silent Corner more than any of them and that's very loosely technically a VDGG album.

Scorched Earth does it for me every time so will have to say Godbluff. Pawn Hearts is great of course but I don't get goose bumps as much listening to it as I do with Godbluff.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Pawn Hearts and Godbluff might as well be interchangeable for me, but I know I enjoy Godbluff just a tad more.
