Paul, are you going to do one of these for Peter Hammill's solo stuff?

I'm not a fan, so I'd be in stalemate when it comes to arranging Peter Hammill's albums into a Top 7 list. Sorry. Confused

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

It's not a Vital VDGG album for me by any means, as it wouldn't even make it into my Top 10, but if anyone else wants to vote for it, that's fine by me. Smile

^^ yes, but it's a live album. Why is no-one including Real Time, Paradiso or Merlin Atmos then?

The later albums (that I've heard) are pretty disappointing to me unfortunately. :(

How about a whole series of Vital VDGG polls featuring Peter Hammill, Hugh Banton, Guy Evans, David Jackson,  Chris Judge Smith & Nic Potter? Smile
