Which or plethora peter hammill's album do you like the most. I never heard the fall of the house of ushers, and the last work I followed was X-my heart. Out of those I have I like the most the following:

in chronologigal order:

foolsmate

chameleon...

silent corner...

pH7

as close as this

out of water

fireships

 
...and in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make...

in no particular order:

In Camera,Over, Chameleon, Silent Corner and Fool's mate.

Actually five of his first six. Did not really appreciate Nadir's . Too punky but the middle tracks are ok. Not familiar enough with his latter stuff but House Of The Usher is ok.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I've only heard "Chameleon...", but if it's anything to go by, it won't remain that way for long!

Agreed , Silent Corner is probably his best.

Although rather uneven, Over has some of his most solemn moments: Time Heals , Alice , Betrayed and Yoga are so strong that even Nick Drake can go back to the drawing table to re-invent personal wounded songs. But Alice (and its awful strings) and the opening track are pure boredom.

As good as the 70s solo albums were, they were mostly a continuation of VDGG by any other means (which is no bad thing).
