TFTO alone would have been enough for me to vote for it.

Red & Close to the Edge for me, Tales & Larks'  just behind.

This can only be decided by counting the stars. Only Tales + Larks is a bit of a no-op. I voted for Godbluff/Selling England.

In the Court of the Crimson King and Nursery Cryme seem a good pairing.

Lark's Tales (Tails?)!  Or should we call it Tales From Topographical Tongues?

The Lamb and Pawn Hearts although Still Life and Relayer is a good pair.

Pawn Hearts + Lamb lies down..  or  Godbluff + Selling England ...


Posted By: Atoms
Date Posted: May 11 2011 at 01:50
lemme see
Option 1: Never heard red  and I have outgrown CttE
Option 2: Love Pawn Hearts to death and I've never heard lamb
Option 3: Foxtrot is Genesis best album and Going For The One is the only Yes album I enjoy
Option 4: H to He is the VdGG album I like the least and I love Islands
Option 5: Don't really like Relayer and Still Life is one of the best albums ever made
Option 6: Court it a very neutral album for me I don't love it nor hate it and NC is a fantastic album, 5-stars without any doubt
Option 7: Godbluff is the best album EVER and I don't like Selling England at all, a really bold record imo
Option 8: Don't like Tales and Larks is KCs best album.

Guess it's option 3 for me, and the reason I wrote the stuff up like this, is because I needed to show how hard it was for me to choose a pair.

O_O
How can you say that Foxtrot is Genesis best album if you have never heard The lamb lies down????

I can still have a favorite, even if I've never heard all the albums. But I can agree that my wording was quite bad, I should've written that Foxtrot is my favorite, instead of the best one.

Same.  That's my favourite Van der Graaf Generator alongside my favourite Genesis album.  A Pawn Hearts with Larks' Tongues in Aspic option would be stronger for me still.  

Following poll option 2 for me is He to He... plus Islands.  Next is Still Life plus Relayer.

Nobody prefers a wonderful pair "H to he & Islands"??!!

Good poll. Doubting very hard between Foxtrot / Going For The One and In The Court Of / Nursery Cryme.

Think... think... think... Ermm I feel like tossing a coin.

Okay, Foxtrot / Going For The One

Red - CTTE

Two favorite albums by two of my favorite bands, pretty easy for me.
