Hi,

I hope that even in my last day on this earth I do not have to choose between any of the albums!

PERIOD
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

1. Pawn Hearts
2. The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other
3. H to He Who Am the Only One
4. Godbluff
5. Still Life
6. World Record
7. The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome -- perhaps that should be under "Van der Graaf" without the "Generator". ;)

Or something like that. I've given those first three in my list more attention over the years than the others. I do like the debut as well.

I'm just going to point to my favorite two. None of the others really stand out to me.

1. Godbluff
2. The Quiet Zone / The Pleasure Dome

There's only two VDGG albums that really stand out for me too, although they're different albums. Smile

Kind of painful to leave World Record out...even leaving out Do Not Disturb seems wrong.  Is math the enemy of art?  Anyway...

1. H to He, Who Am the Only One
2. Pawn Hearts
3. Godbluff
4. The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other
5. Still Life
6. Trisector
7. A Grounding in Numbers

I had a feeling Pawn Hearts was going to win this poll, even though it's not even in my VDGG Top 7. Tongue

just kidding
see, that's why I said make up your mind... 
If you want to vote for the live Vital album you can do, but I wouldn't bother to be honest, as it's a dreadful album in my opinion. Thumbs Down

did you put it in your list just to shame it? LOL
Well, it's not a Vital VDGG album by any means, but at least it finally made its way into the Top 10, just above Present and A Grounding in Numbers, although I know that's no great recommendation. Tongue

While I can tell that I'm very fond of H to He and Godbluff, and a bit less of Still Life. Tongue
