"Pawn Hearts", as it has the best Hugh Banton organ parts, though "The Least We Can Do..." comes in a close 2nd. White Hammer is very moving, the subject matter is so sad and the distorted organ section at the end is so demonic.

That's a tough one. I think anything from The Aerosol Grey Machine to Godbluff is a worthy candidate. I'm not too fond of "Childlike Faith In Childhood's End" from Still Life, but the other tracks from that are great.

My favourite VdGG album has changed a lot over the years. Now it's Pawn Hearts. Could be Godbluff tomorrow for all I know, though.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Still Life, the perfect balance between the crazy Pawn Hearts VDGG and the more cohesiveness of the later albums and Hammill solo career

There are no "Eclectic characteristics". "Eclectic", by definition, can include anything and everything.

They may have a similar sound at times, but the compositions of Pawn Hearts are overall too dissonant and disorderly. There's too much shrieking and howling.

And that's actually one of basic Eclectic characteristics.
