"Lost".

Tough one.....

The Emporer in his War Room this time.

^ Crap, I didn't read the OP in its entirety again.

... But then again, methinks, so did a few other people ... but I may be wrong. Ermm

1. "Lost"
2. "The Emperor in his War Room"
(3. Would have been "Killer" has it not been for the lyrical amateur hour on Pete's part.)

"Books were only one type of receptacle where we stored a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical in them at all. The magic is only in what books say, ... ."

Top 3 would be White Hammer, followed by Darkness (11/11) and Pioneers Over C.

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

A drummer I was in a prog band with back in '78 knew I was a Fripp-nut so he turned me onto "The Emporer in his War Room". From that time VDGG has been one of my fave bands.

For this poll it's easier to list what songs I didn't vote for: Out of My Book & Killer

I absolutely love Out of My Book - my 3rd favorite on the album, right behind Darkness and Refugees.

I like "Out of My Book" and "Killers" a lot but I couldn't vote for everything LOL

Emperor, probably my favorite VDGG track next to Arrow

Also, I hate "White Hammer" with a white-hot intensity. "Whatever Would Robert Have Said" seems pretty bad to me too.

"History of Rock Written by the Losers."
