Definitely Phallus Dei for me. It has a sort of an inexplicable magic to me that no other album repeats. Yeti is another favorite. ------------- Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided. |

| Impossible poll. I could go with either Phallus, Yeti or Thanz. |

Whoa, looking at these 5 INCREDIBLE albums - what a very very very difficult choice to make....... It's a toss up between, well, all 5. Sorry Phallus Yeti Babylon City, but Tanz it must be...... |

a tough one. I will go with "Tanz der Lemminge" this time, but "Wolf City", Phallus Dei" and "Yeti" are great as well -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

Wolf City has always been my #1 Düül, with Phallus Dei a close second. Dig Yeti and Tanz too, but Carnival in Babylon has always seemed like a clunker to me. ------------- Buy this thing! https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MichaelPDawson" rel="nofollow - https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MichaelPDawson |

Same here. Carnival is quite charming actually; it'd probably get more love if it wasn't surrounded by all these other monster albums (but then who'd have discovered it?). |

I love all of these records, big time! I wouldn't want to chose between Yeti, Tanz and Wolf City though - all of which I consider masterpieces. The telepathic ways of Yeti versus the schizophrenic genius of Tanz or maybe just go for the stellar songwriting (and incorporation of the two formerly mentioned trades) of Wolf City? Nahh I literally have no idea which one to vote for  I consider that a good thing. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Yeti is my choice ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Not surprised CIB has no votes. Good album but the weakest of the five. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

My top three as well, all 5 star albums. Love Wolf City and Carnival In Babylon as well. What a band! Picked Tanz today. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Yeti, Tanz, Carnival & Wolf tied, & Phallus, in that order. but order is irrelevant when it comes to Duul.

Hi, "Wolf City" is (for me) one of the best rock albums ever done. The only weird thing is that the CD releases are all backwards, and start with Side 2 of the LP (Surrounded by the Stars) and the album flows better the other way. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

That's the original track order as released in Europe. It was the American LP release that reversed the sides. ------------- Buy this thing! https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MichaelPDawson" rel="nofollow - https://store.cdbaby.com/Artist/MichaelPDawson |

| I have the U.A. gatefold and side 1 starts with Surrounded By The Stars - and that's how I've always known it. |

"Surrounded by the Stars" is the first track on the A-side of the LP, so the order is correct. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |
