The Emperor have fallen, the litle Generator have slayed the mighty Genesis.

The last really good Genesis album for me is Wind & Wuthering, then their star started slowly descending... But in this case it's Genesis who wins. I've got accustomed to Peter Hammill singing, but he's a long shot from my internal vocalists first league. And although I'm not frenzy from Collins singing too, ATOTT is better as the record itself.

I prefer Gabriel Genesis and First Generation VDGG but if I had to choose I'd pick Still Life over Trick of the Tail.

Not really a fair comparison in my opinion; a heavyweight versus a lightweight. But a very nice lightweight too, just a different kind of strength.

A Trick of the Tail would be in my top five albums of all time, Still Life would probably be in my top 10, so Trick gets the vote.

A Trick of the Tail is decent but Still Life is one of my favorite VDGG albums.

Tough call, but ATOTT just about has the edge for me - probably their strongest studio album overall.

Good poll. Trick is phenomenal, but I think I have to say Still Life is superior.

That's pretty un-prog of you. 
Still Life for me although Trick of the Tail is better than what most Philesis haters think it is. And I'm a Philesis hater.

A very touch choice and a well placed comparison. Still Life was perhaps the best thought out VDGG album and perhaps least dated. TOTT effectively silenced the band's detractors but may have been a little soft in spots to challenge its competition from across the label.

Robbery Assault and Battery knocks Genesis out of this comparison, but I do enjoy it. Should have been a B-Side. Everything on Still Life is stellar.
