I like Killer, myself. But the whole album is pretty great.

Pioneers over C for me, but prefer the punked-up version on Vital

Hard to pick, definitly the strength of the album is the album as a whole and not so much the individuals songs, as for me none of them are really without their flaws... probably The emperors bla bla bla... but not that sure really

This poll is pretty close !  Shows how consistent the album is, even though it's not my favorite.  I like Emperor in His War Room the best, with Pioneers over C coming in second.

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

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

Killer. The rare prog song that could appeal to a wider audience without sacrificing any of its... progginess.
