I'd say, it's quite obvious for the letter "V" as well, even not everybody of course are fond of at least one VdGG album. 
That's true. I'm not fond of Pawn Hearts, but the least we can do is give it a mention. The only other viable option for the letter "V" was the very obscure (but very good) Visitor 2035. Smile

After thinking some more about your A-Z list, Paul, I'd say it's not only impressive but very amazing that you can be fond of
so many Eclectic Prog albums so you can make a list like that - for not to talk about the other A-Z lists, you've made.
You can't like everything for sure, but your musical tastes are very very including.

Thanks. You've just reminded me that I still haven't got around to putting together my A-Z list of Progressive Electronic favourites. Smile

I can reveal that I'm curious about who will show to be the one most fond of The Big Three of Eclectic Prog. 
So to me this thread is like a kind of poll - but it surely has a slow start. Ermm

And the big three would be Gentle Giant, King Crimson, and Van der Graff Generator?

At least it's a more original thread title than "An A-Z of Eclectic Prog", which is what I would've named it. Tongue
