Killer was the first song from VDGG that i really enjoyed.

The whole album is awesome.

No one told you when to run

I say Killer. But there's really a minim difference between the tracks IMO.

Ooooh, this is tough.  "Killer" has absolutely wicked hook, and I love the lyrics to "House With No Door."  On the other hand, I'm always hit hardest by the emotion in "Lost," and words could not possibly describe how in love I am with the bass riff from "Pioneers."  "Emperor/War Room" is actually my least favorite, but I still rather like it, too.

I think I'll just be generic here and go with "Killer."

I just listened to the entire album again in order to take the poll.  I've got to go with the flow on this one and say Killer.

The whole album is great. I voted "Pioneers Over C", because my favourite moment in the album is here (insanity in the end).

This.

I absolutely love, Squid/Octopus!

I'm a sucker for space stories, so I'm gonna have to go with "Pioneers Over C".

Hardest poll ever. I literally can't choose. I guess I'll give Pioneers Over C a vote since it has the least.

Killer.
 
If you haven't seen it, check out this awesome footage of VdGG playing Killer live in 1972:
