They all are superb tracks, but my favorite has always been "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers."  The ending is spectacular.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

Impossible to vote really.

Two of the highlights of their recent live shows were Man-erg & Lemmings.

version of Lemmings they knocked out in Milan was unreal. So, Lemmings it is, for today.

I don't know, didn't like the album very much...  All songs start wonderfully, but I can't follow them to end.

I got the "Godbluff" DVD, where's a filmed version of "Lighthouse Keeppers". It seemed very promising with all the candles etc. in the beginning, I'll try to check that out!

Well its close between Man Erg...I like the "insane" part with fripps guitar and hammil shouting like a madman...but A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is really Van der Graaf as all it can be...and the lyrics are soooooooooooo good!

They are all fantastic, but 'Man-Erg' has always been a great  favourite of mine.

This poll was done some time ago.

I voted for Lemmings then, just like now. It has the least votes. Practically it's impossible to choose,

the whole album is simply amazing, a true masterpiece.

The caleidoscopic suite "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" is my favourite song of this fantastic album. But all the songs here are wonderful!!!
