Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts is more dark and depressing than everything else on the list.
Seriously, I am trying to force some upbeat music on myself just to get away from it's spell.

Any album that ends with Ivor Cutler singing 'I fight with the handle of my little brown broom' cannot be dark!

true, true  however, neither is that dark in comparison to other albums on that list; they're rather heavier than most of the stuff there |

I agree! In fact, I'm listening to it right now, and it's darkness awes me!  |

Island "Pictures" is sadly not on this list, but out of those listed UZ "Heresie" is the darkest. The darkness there is almost psychotic, and it's not winning this poll simply because not enough people listened to it.

 Anyway, I don't know quite a few of these, but voted for Il Balletto Di Bronzo's YS. |

I'll go with Red, an "unhappy" album at best.

jesus ....love the results hahahhahahah
yeah right the man actually does a hell of a nice job with the options... Jacula? oh helll yeah... and people choose the probably least 'dark' one of the whole damn group ... oh well encounters with death... scary as hell keys and guitars.. haunting female soprano voices.. .and mellotron dense enough to cut with a knife... Il Balletto di Bronzo's - Ys though could have with a number of others.... |

I went for Animals, although I'm not familiar with many of the other choices.

van der graaf is the first thing that came to mind, so I voted for that. Very very dark feeling music IMO |

It's gotta' be "Ys." Without even understanding the lyrics, this is some very dark stuff.

I pick Pawn Hearts.

Peter Hammill - In Camera. I freaks me out everytime I hear it, especially Gog/Magog.

Prog doesn't get much darker than Heresie, although in the 80s Shub Niggurath arguably went even further with Les Morts Vont Vite. Art Zoyd were pretty sombre, but I don't think they ever went into quite as dark a place as early UZ.
Henry Cow - Unrest could also have a place on that list.

I've yet to hear Heresie (only heard their debut), so I'm going for First Utterance. I'd say that album was more scary and uncomfortable though.
VdGG, as much as I like them, are not that dark to my ears and infact, Hammill is pretty much having a laugh on all VdGG albums, even his own. The exception to that is Over, which I've somehow not yet heard (waiting for the remaster). I must listen to Ys again sometime, I've only heard it the once. |
