Criminal Record is the one I like the most. Voyage is another really good album.
I guess I would put Raven after those.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Many people at PA should know of my praise for Amused To Death, so that is quite self-explanatory... 
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

I hate to miss a chance to vote for Hackett, but I must confess I haven't heard all of them yet.

I love In Camera, but I lack sufficient familiarity with the other choices to vote fairly. I highly doubt that I would like the others as much as In Camera, but even if that were true, I still might not consider the Hammill to be the best of these if I did get to know all of them well.

Voyage of the Acolyte is a top 10 album to me. The rest of these are either "meh" or "yeesh!"

I went with Steve Hackett, probably because I'm seeing him soon. Also, I'm listening to "Blackfield V" right now, and it's making me forget how amazing his other stuff is. Not that the new album is particularly bad... It's even good... to a certain level... maybe it will grow on me..............

What am I saying? The new album is great XD.

Criminal Record is criminally under-rated; Hackett's solo debut irritated the hell out of Banks (allegedly)

Acolyte. 
I like "Amused" so much and IMO this is the best of "Post 80's" albums from Pink Floyd (band and solo albums). Peter Hammill have too many! albums. "In Camera" is his one of  Top 5 albums (IMO).
