For me, it's gotta be Godbluff.

Seems I failed to respond both times that this thread was revived.

My favourite is The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other, but at other times I have had other favourites.

I guess i don't have any interest in choosing a favorite between those three with the most votes or Quiet Zone/Pleasure Dome. Apart from that I'd like to mention that Meurglys III, The Songwriter's Guild is one hell of a tune and that the rest of their seventies albums are also great (+Aerosol is nice as well).

Can't decide between Pawn Hearts and Godbluff. I voted for the latter just to make things a little closer as it has fewer votes. And then there's Still Life which is almost as good.

Godbluff just slightly over Pawn Hearts.

Vote for Pawn Hearts - great album. And Peter Hammill is my favorite musician.

Still Life, best all around Album. I can do without some parts of Plague and Arrow and Scorched earth leave me cold sometimes. Every song on Still Life is excellent.

Cool, thanks. I keep reading that Still Life is the next logical step after Godbluff. How do you feel about this album? It seems to have a low rating as well.


Still Life is one of my favorites, although Godbluff is my absolute favorite album, Still Life has my favorite VDGG song on it: Childlike Faith in Childhood's End. I'm also fond of La Rossa (another of my top 10 Vandie songs). The other 3 songs are not bad either. All in all, I would place this at number 3, just behind Pawn Hearts.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It is a fantastic album. More of a complex new wave-album than classic prog. Certainly a little overlooked and among the four or five VdGG-albums I consider to be flawless.
