    Scorched Earth
    A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
    Running Back
    Refugees (single version)
    When She Comes
    After The Flood
    La Rossa
    The Sleepwalkers
    Darkness (11/11)
    Man-Erg

    .. although if I was allowed to choose some of the PH solo tracks I would have to consider making room for "A Louse Is Not A Home", "The Lie" and most of side two of In Camera!

    Okay I'll jump on this too. It's a little odd, I know, but it's the damn truth. And yes "Louse is Not A Home" should be on this list, but anyway, here's my definite top ten, in chronological order:

    Lost
    Man-Erg
    A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
    Scorched Earth
    Pilgrims
    Still Life
    La Rossa
    The Habit of the Broken Heart
    The Wave
    The Sphinx in the Face

    In no particular order:

    La Rossa
    Man-Erg
    Still Life
    Pilgrims
    Lost
    Lemmings
    Undercover Man
    A Plauge of Lighthouse Keepers
    Scorched Earth
    The Emperor in His War Room

    This would probably change if asked again next week.

    "A Louse" would also be on my list. VdGG did play it live.

    "The Sleepwalkers" and "La Rossa" seem to be the two favourites so far, appearing on almost every list. I see a couple of TQZ/TPD choices too - I didn't even get that far in the catalogue before I already had ten 'Must Includes'. :P I love that album though. And plenty of the VDGG2K as well! I look to be the only vote for "Running Back".

    This is the logical next-step thread.

    Edit: Refugees instead of sleepwalkers, and Siren song gets an honorary mention.
    And of course Louse, had it been a VDGG official song.

    Chronologically

    1. Afterwards
    2. Darkness
    3. Arrow
    4. Sleepwalkers
    5. Still Life
    6. La Rossa
    7. When She Comes
    8. Door (Vital version)
    9. Highly Strung
    10. Mr Sands

    Honorable Mentions: tons of tunes off of QZ/PD, and Habit of the Broken Heart almost made the top 10 (I had to erase it to make room for Highly Strung); Octopus from AGM; Scorched Earth; Meurglys III; lots of others... this list can change at any time, eh?!! (But Afterwards, Darkness, When She Comes, and Door will always make the cut...)

    You haven't! Where's "Arrow"? Their essential song IMO.

    "Mr. Sands"

    Good track, no question. My favorite in AGiN

    In descending order:

    5. Childhood's End
    6. House With No Door
    7. Scorched Earth
    8. Man Erg
    9. Still Life

    Let us count:

    A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers - 13
    Sleepwalkers - 12
    Lemmings - 11
    La Rossa - 11
    Scorched Earth - 10
    Pilgrims - 10
    Still Life - 9
    Man-Erg - 9
    Childlike Faith - 9
    Darkness - 8
    Lost - 7
    Undercover Man - 5
    Killer - 5
    Pioneers Over C - 4
    After The Flood - 4
    House With No Door - 4

    Quite predictable, though I expected to see more love for Killer and Pioneers

    No organ! I do love it; don't get me wrong. But there were 9 other songs I love better, I guess.

    I'm probably the odd duck here, but I never been to enamored with the song "Killer" and "LaRossa" as well. As for "Pioneers", that's a great song.
