A louse is not a home, not quite VDGG, but who cares?

Impossible question to answer with certainty, but today it's 'La Rossa'. It will be something else tomorrow. There is just so many brilliant tracks to choose from.

Definitely my favourite is "A Plauge of Lighthouse Keepers" with so many beautiful melodies and motives. No. 2 is "Pioneers Over C.", and no. 3 "Man-Erg".
PS. I discovered VDGG about a year ago (I'm a young prog fan). The first song I heard was Firebrand, demo - 1minute version with an awful quality, but after first 5 seconds I had a feeling of assurance that it would be a great band. Strange, don't you think? Have you heard that demo - necessarily demo (!), not the full song which appeared on the first album. This is the link: http://www.vandergraafgenerator.co.uk/mp3.htm Tell me what do you think about it.

Just today (in the real world no less) I was swearing to someone who
just heard VDGG for the first time ever that Refugees is clearly the
best VDGG song and that as great as the rest of the material could be,
the band could never touch that moment of true blue perfection ...
looks like I'm the only one who feel that way ...
 ... which is good of course1. Refugees 2. House With No Door 3. Sleepwalkers 4. Emperor In His War Room 5. A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers 6. Out Of My Book 7. Man Erg 8. Arrow 9. Killer 10. The Undercover Man |

"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”
"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present." |
