This is too hard!!!
I went with La Rossa but really they all are good. "Still Life" the song is one of Hammills greatest lyrical works, I did a cover of it and it really is a special song. The last one is quite epic too...they all are perfect.

One of the very best prog albums in the world, it's very hard to choose a single track.
La Rossa is the one which has given me the most goosebumps, but Pilgrims has such wonderful Lyrics. Still Life is the best musically, but Childlike faith in Childhood's end is bombastic and emotional, with Peter Hammill giving it his all, "Arrow" is the only track where he does his thing better..
I guess it's La Rossa, after all. Partly because i know from experience that it will get crushed byt the closer as the votes come streaming in...

Hard to choose from this truly magnificent album, but for me, perhaps Pilgrims!

Pilgrims a close second.

1 Chronicles 13:7-9
Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

Favourite song from my favourite album? Surprisingly, the choice is easy for me this time. "My Room", without any doubts.

Very difficult choice, but I'll have to go with the closer with Pilgrims and the title track right behind. IMO their best album and unquestionable some of the greatest lyrics and vocals ever put to vinyl.
