Nice poll. Toss up between Family and the Fishing Net and Zaar for me. Went for Family, a wonderful piece of musical and lyrical theatre, showing Gabriel at his most inventive. ------------- Enhance your life.

A close call. I vote for White Shadow, the standout track on his, for the greater part mediocre, second album. -------------

I like White Shadow. I always found that a very creepy and atmospherc track which absolutely would have benefited from a different producer than Fripp. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

Down the Dolce Vita--his first album is my favorite---probably in the minority with that--but it only suffers for me in the production which I feel could have been more subtle.

First vote for Zaar. After that And Through the Wire and then Family and the Fishing Net. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Also my favourite PG album.The production is a bit 'murky' although I think he was going for a 'punky' less clean approach to distance himself from Genesis.

Same but no problem with the production. Car and Plays live the best of PG for me. |

think you are probably right---his first album had many songs that would have fit nicely on a future Genesis record with a different production approach--his subsequent albums--not so much.

I like all the songs here, but I'll vote for Zaar.
