I never really understood the huge love for Arrow. It's good, but not great. The other three are masterpieces!

Scorched Earth, for certain.

All absolutely fantastic tracks, Scorched Earth is slightly behind the rest.

Why do people keep interpreting "worst" as "must necessarily be bad?" Just pick a least favorite, even it's one of your favorite albums (Godbluff is one of mine).

Yeah, I can't really pick one either. I got this on vinyl when I was about sixteen years old, and it properly blew my mind. I certainly didn't understand it then and thirty years later I'm still not sure I do. VdGG's finest work in the studio, in my opinion.

Arrow is no where near as good as other 3 tracks
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Each song on Godbluff brings something special to the table, no vote.

Probably agree with Arrow - Hammill tends to over-shriek in this one, but I love the Clavinet.

I couldn't put it better myself. I absolutely hate VDGG because of Hamill's voice.

Well... Scorched Earth, although all of them are brilliant.
