H to He, Who Am the Only One who doesn't like the Pawn Hearts album? Yes, that would be me then, and that's no Godbluff, as it appears I'm the only one here who doesn't like Pawn Hearts. We may disagree on our prog favourites, but The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other out of politeness. ProgArchives is absolutely Vital for prog lovers and proves that there's Still Life in prog at Present in 2020, and nothing can ALTer that fact. Prog-Rock might not set any World Records for album sales, but A Grounding in Numbers of members here at PA reveals that prog still has a decent following, whichever angle of the Trisector you look at it from. Who cares what the jaded music press thinks about prog. Their views Do Not Disturb me at all. Smile
 
Finally, a chance to choose your Top 7 Van der Graaf Generator albums. Simply list your VDGG albums in order of preference below and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings:-
 
1st album - 12 points
2nd album - 8 points
3rd album - 6 points
4th album - 4 points
5th album - 3 points
6th album - 2 points
7th album - 1 point
 
Here's my Top 7 to get the poll underway:-
 
1. The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other (12 points)
2. H to He, Who Am the Only One (8 points)
3. The Aerosol Grey Machine (6 points)
4. Godbluff (4 points)
5. Still Life (3 points)
6. World Record (2 points)
7. The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome (1 point)

No, I included it in my list simply because I mentioned the album in the intro, although it wasn't Vital to include it. Smile

1. Godbluff
2. Pawn Hearts
3. The Least
4. H to He
5. Still Life
6. World Record
7. Present

1-2 are interchangeable and mood-driven. Pawn is more mysterious, decadent, byzantine, "Crimsonian". Godbluff is more volcanic, ecstatic, mind-bending and always, ALWAYS right on the spot.
Same goes for 3, 4, 5. I feel Still Life is the most "even" quality-wise, but also very safe and bright compared to earlier records. H to He peaks very high with Killer and Emperor, but I'm no fan of Pioneers these days (strange because I liked it very much in high school). The Least has maybe the best sustained atmosphere of the lot.

So these 5 are generally 4-5 stars albums and together form one of the best primes in prog.

No. 6 is World Record. At its best, it rivals Still Life. At its worst, it drags and meanders way too much. A good album nonetheless. The last spot goes to Present because, well, David Jackson.

aren't we supposed to rank studio albums?


Vital should be included cause it contained several new tracks, not to be found on the previous albums. And for that is a kinda replacement for a 78 studio album, which then was not released due to the break of the band.

Actually if you include the wonderful Plague of Sleepwalkers medley, a kinda new song, the double album contained enough material for a new album. And there was the Hammill solo song Nadir's Big Chance.

I love Vital. It very much represents the bands sonic assault in concerts, their "no prisoners" attitude towards their songs, that what Hammill once described as "controlled chaos".

1. Pawn Hearts
2. Godbluff
3. The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other
4. Still Life
5. Present
6. Vital
7. The Aerosol Grey Machine

The last one was very, very difficult, I could have chosen instead H to He or World Record.

And there is the lost album from 1972, the one I compiled from the 5 band songs released on Hammill's solo albums in 1973 and 74. 5 excellent tracks, of which 2 would definitely had made a planned album for late 72, and of which 4 were played live by the band in summer 72 and from 1975 to 1977. This not existing album could rival Pawn Hearts for the # 1 position, and Pawn Hearts is my favourite album of all time.

I have to agree about the lost album. Those five tracks are amazing, and Louse is definitely one of my all time favourite PH/VDG songs. If that had been a VDG album, it very definitely would rival Pawn Hearts for the number one position in my list of seven, too.

(Also, you raise valid points about Vital. I didn’t include it my list of seven, but now wish I had.)

Btw I think it is important to view Present as an 1 disc album, means the 2nd disc is only a bonus disc for me. It contains improvisations of which I never thought that they really belong to the album. But I'm sure different opinions exist for this ... ;)

In that regard I'm also not sure if I really view Alt as a part of their studion album disography. Even if this is a good and enjoyable album, while so far I never cared much for the 2nd disc of Present. And I'm a big fan of the sax in VdGG.

Yes, I think you're right. The Present album would have been much better without the 2nd improvisational bonus disc, which really put me off the album as a whole, and the less I say about the ALT album, the better. Wink

Ok, but I see no problem in viewing Present as a single disc, the one with the songs, the one with the "compositions". Just do it as I do.

And Present is an album which still grows on me. It is my most heard VdGG album after Pawn Hearts in the past 10 or 15 years. And it was only recently (really) that I began really to enjoy the though In Babelsberg, a song which I viewed as boring for mayn years. I even begin to like On the Beach, which I considered for along time as the band's weakest up to that point (if I only could mix out the background singing).

But with Every Bloody Emperor and Nutter Alert it contains 2 of the best VdGG tracks, by far the best tracks Hammill did since the mid 80s. The album still needs one more strong song at the end. I wish they had recorded Roncevaux for this album as closing track.

I think the problem with Present (regardless of whether or not you include both discs when you are evaluating it), is the lack of consistency of quality. Even if you consider two of the tracks to be “the best VDGG tracks, by far the best tracks Hammill did since the mid 80s”, there are tracks that are not at all as inspiring. When considering ranking albums, the overall quality always trumps individual gems within, for me. There are likely many bands and artists in my collection for whom my favourite songs likely do not appear on my favourite albums. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, but as I said the album still gets better for me every year, and I enjoy the whole album, actually always enjoyed it completely alredy then when I did not like the aforementioned In Babelsberg, and especially did not like the last song On the Beach.

And having 2 of VdGG's best is at least something. I can't say this of any of the later VdGG albums.

see, that's why I said make up your mind... 
If you want to vote for the live Vital album you can do, but I wouldn't bother to be honest, as it's a dreadful album in my opinion. Thumbs Down

did you put it in your list just to shame it? LOL
Well, it's not a Vital VDGG album by any means, but at least it finally made its way into the Top 10, just above Present and A Grounding in Numbers, although I know that's no great recommendation. Tongue

I had a feeling Pawn Hearts was going to win this poll, even though it's not even in my VDGG Top 7. Tongue

While I can tell that I'm very fond of H to He and Godbluff, and a bit less of Still Life. Tongue

And nice to see that my Top 7 bears no relation to the overall Top 7, as per usual. Tongue

1. Still Life 10/10
2. Pawn Hearts 10/10
After that it gets more difficult:
3. Vital 10/10 (I have only recently found that pleasure for myself
4. Godbluff 9/10
5. The Least We Can 8,5/10
6. H to He 8,5/10
7. World Record 7,5/10

I have to say though that I am not too familiar with the newer stuff. Have only listened to present and maybe trisector once. The Least We Can and H to He have such great individual tracks I might personally value them a bit higher than they are worth. Actually in the classic 5 albums the only fault I could find in vdgg really is pioneers over c. And even that song got saved big time by vital. So im a big fanboy. But you couldve guessed it by my name already

Lots of people here like Pawn Hearts, and I agree with that being their best album. A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is one of the best prog epics. Love that wild and crazy type of prog.

1. Pawn Hearts
2. H To He, Who Am The Only One
3. Godbluff
4. World Record
5. Still Life
6. A Grounding In Numbers
