A close one between Waters and Hammill for me, but i'm feeling Roger today. ------------- The most dangerous man in America. |

Wilson by a molecule over Hackett, followed by Hammill, Waters and finally Wakeman. Never liked Criminal Record very much. ------------- PROGMATIC |

| I'll have to vote for Voyage, one of my favorite albums of all time. Amused might be second, Criminal Record third. I never got into Hammill for some weird reason. |

Hackett, though that is my favourite Steven Wilson/affiliated bands/projects album. ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

I give the edge to Roger Waters over Steve Hackett. The SW and PH albums are also good. -------------

A Criminal Record s appropriately named. Hamill's singing has the same effect on me as fingernails scraping down a blackboard, so he's out. I've never really liked Water's solo stuff (including The Wall). That leaves us with the two Steves. If Mr Wilson's effort had been Hand Cannot Erase, I would probably have chosen that, but TRTRTS is weaker, so I'll choose the lovely Voyage of the Acolyte. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Acolyte. I like "Amused" so much and IMO this is the best of "Post 80's" albums from Pink Floyd (band and solo albums). Peter Hammill have too many! albums. "In Camera" is his one of Top 5 albums (IMO).

| Criminal Record is criminally under-rated; Hackett's solo debut irritated the hell out of Banks (allegedly) |

A toss between Hackett and Wilson. I went with Steve Hackett, probably because I'm seeing him soon. Also, I'm listening to "Blackfield V" right now, and it's making me forget how amazing his other stuff is. Not that the new album is particularly bad... It's even good... to a certain level... maybe it will grow on me..............

Voyage of the Acolyte is a top 10 album to me. The rest of these are either "meh" or "yeesh!" ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I love In Camera, but I lack sufficient familiarity with the other choices to vote fairly. I highly doubt that I would like the others as much as In Camera, but even if that were true, I still might not consider the Hammill to be the best of these if I did get to know all of them well. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

Many people at PA should know of my praise for Amused To Death, so that is quite self-explanatory... ------------- Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV. https://www.soundcloud.com/user-322914325 |

Criminal Record is the one I like the most. Voyage is another really good album. I guess I would put Raven after those. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |
