1. Darkness.
2. The Sleepwalkers. 3. A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers. 4. Man-Erg. 5. La Rossa. Though for me Plague is mostly the first half of the song, after that it becomes a bit too much. |

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.

^and so I did, didn't I (although I only accepted one song from each album)? But I know those two last entries won't be counted anyway. But then again what does it matter...

There's no reason why you can't list your Top 7 VDGG songs if you want to.

While you do this as five , not seven, I'll do the first seven albums, one song per album that I adore.
"Aquarian" off The Aerosol Grey Machine "Darkness (11/11)" off The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other "Killer" off H to He Who Am the Only One "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" off Pawn Hearts "The Sleepwalkers" off Godbluff "La Rossa" off Still Life "Meurglys III, the Songwriter's Guild" off World Record As you are counting points, I will go with: 1. "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" 2. "Darkness (11/11)" 3. "Killer" 4. "La Rossa" 5. "The Sleepwalkers" Really wanted to include The Sleepwalkers and my choices are rather arbitrary. EDIT: actually, much as I love "Aquarian", I think I will move "Sleepwalkers" into fifth place. Love VdGG; such a great band. One of my very favourites for sure.

Simply because I couldn't come up with a Top 7 as there's only five Van der Graaf Generator songs I know and like.
