Well ok, why not:
VdGG album: Aerosol Grey Machine (does this count?) if not then Do Not Disturb.
VdGG track: cheating a bit because it's more than one but Squid/Octopus the bonus track on the H to He re-master. Classic VdGG.
PH album: Fools Mate
PH song: The Birds
Phil.

"As our faculties for choice increase, our options diminish". My Avatar ! Agree, on both albums every single track is sublime. Any are worthy of being chosen. As VdGG went through various guises "Lemmings" and "Modern" have remained popular choices for their playlists and have had some amazing different treatments. The Union Chapel Concert version of Lemmings is epic ! "The Lie" has peerless piano work, the track that comes closest to match it being "In The End" from Chameleon.

- The piano is great and IMO The Lie also has one of PH's best vocal performances! |

VdGG LP: A Grounding in Numbers
VdGG Song: The Liquidator
PH LP: In a Foreign Town (YES!)
PH song: People you were going to (Nadir version)
Rikki's 1974 vocal delivery on PYWGT is just masterful, oozing with style & attitude.. I'm never satisfied with just one listen.

Well, Tommo, that's my four choices spot on. Are we, by any chance, the same person? Do I make you uneasy? Can I see you through the floorboards? |
