And nice to see that my Top 7 bears no relation to the overall Top 7, as per usual. Tongue

1. Still Life 10/10
2. Pawn Hearts 10/10
After that it gets more difficult:
3. Vital 10/10 (I have only recently found that pleasure for myself
4. Godbluff 9/10
5. The Least We Can 8,5/10
6. H to He 8,5/10
7. World Record 7,5/10

I have to say though that I am not too familiar with the newer stuff. Have only listened to present and maybe trisector once. The Least We Can and H to He have such great individual tracks I might personally value them a bit higher than they are worth. Actually in the classic 5 albums the only fault I could find in vdgg really is pioneers over c. And even that song got saved big time by vital. So im a big fanboy. But you couldve guessed it by my name already

Lots of people here like Pawn Hearts, and I agree with that being their best album. A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers is one of the best prog epics. Love that wild and crazy type of prog.

1. Pawn Hearts
2. H To He, Who Am The Only One
3. Godbluff
4. World Record
5. Still Life
6. A Grounding In Numbers
7. The Aerosol Grey Machine
