I think this is the single most difficult poll i've ever made. In my head, I could justify voting for any of these. Gonna sit on it for a little bit and reply later when I decide to vote. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

I agree with you that this is a super tough poll! I went for The Undercover Man + Scorched Earth just because I love all of the tracks on Godbluff and both of these tracks are incredible. Now, if you had instead given me Man Erg + A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers and Still Life + La Rossa I would have been seriously struggling! ------------- Songs cast a light on you |

Interesting, I think I agree. Though Godbluff and Still Life often switch places as my favorite, but they're all 5 stars in my book. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

Although it would be "Scorched Earth" over any of the single tracks mentioned, I vote for "Lemmings+Man-Erg" in this poll. That's half of the most perfect album ever. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

It's worth remarking that both "Lemmings + Man-Erg" and "The Undercover Man + Scorched Earth" are half their respective albums, whereas "Killer + House With No Door" and "Pilgrims + Still Life" are not and omit very substantial tracks from their respective albums. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands.

The Undercover option works best as a duo. ------------- I'm guitarist and songwriter for the prog-related band Mother Bass. Find us at http://www.motherbass.com. I also enter stages throughout the Netherlands performing my poetry. |

Options 1 and 4. Voted for 1 at random. |

Totally agree with your observation that any choice is justified. But I can't pick a duo that doesn't include Lemmings, if only because that riff has been stuck in my head for forty years... ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

I'm looking forward to working my way alphabetically towards listening to my two new VDGG albums for the first time. I'm still on "B" for Barclay James Harvest at the moment in my prog collection, so I still have quite a way to go.

Lemmings and Man-Erg is their best 1-2 punch. Scorched Earth paired with Arrow or The Sleepwalkers could win it though

In my personal ranking, 1. Lemmings - Man Erg but It's very close to 2 Darkness - Refugees (why are these two wonderful songs missing?) 3 Killer - House With No Door then, far, 4 Undercover Man and Scortched Earth
