Im a massive Peter Hammill fan and over to me is a masterpiece his 70s output is not for the faint of heart its wildly experimental and brilliant

[@outernothingness1177]

Looking forward to following this story. :-) And hoping you'll be doing a Richard Thompson solo album ranking some day.
As for me:
1. The Silent Corner
2. In Camera
3. The Future Now
4. pH7
5. Nadir
6. Chameleon
7. Fool's mate
8. Over
Not visible in the list above is the abyss separating the first four, which belong to my favourite albums ever, from the last four, that I very rarely pick out of the shelf for a listen, except to remind myself of why I don't enjoy them very much.

[@opinion3742]

Yes, one of his best for sure!

[@scottmcrae3355]

@@Z-eb yep me too. I think The Future Now is brilliant! I love when he gets all experimental on side 2 especially.

[@Z-eb]

Would you consider ranking the VDGG Side project "The Long Hello" some day (4 LPs)

[@Iainrankingtheobscure]

we will add to list

[@opinion3742]

Not at all the order I would have put them in but interesting.
