The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage is great, but loses this match.
yes, "A Black Box" is great... first four minutes of the "Flight" are maybe the most beautiful Peter ever wrote.
Oh yes, I pick Silent Corner but is a tough choice!

Tough call.
 
Over by hairs (at least today).

Lately I've been rediscovering how great 1980's 'A Black Box' is. But voted for 'Silent Corner' here, as it's more interesting and memorable than 'Over'...'Over' is cool, but some of the songs still haven't stuck with me after many listens.

Hammill rules.

These Hammill's solo albums are my favourites. 

It's hard to chose the best but I think I'll vote for  1974's masterpiece because of  "A Louse is not a Home"

P.S. Strongly recommended for those who had never listened to these works  .
Would you catch the final words of mine?
