H is to He...it's the only VDGG album on which I found anything even briefly worth listening to.

Think of it this way...Fripp could handle an entire album and tour with Boz Burrell, but could only stand  Peter Hammill for one song.

I voted "GODBLUFF" alone because it is my first VDGG album even if I bought!!!

Sure, that's why he invited him to sing several songs on his first album "Exposure". In fact Robert Fripp is known to be a big admirer of Hammill and once said about him: "What Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar, Peter Hammill did for the voice".

I'll have to go with the mayority here. The strangeness of Pawn Hearts is the best part of the album IMO.  MY sister always know who they are when I play the shrieking part followed by some sax  in Man-erg. She always says "not again!"

Of course Pawn Hearts, but hasn't there recently been exactly the same poll?
