That last minute and a half of The Wall makes it such a paramount gargantuan god album for me. If The Wall wasn't on it then yes Rush is my favorite band and Thick as a Brick is fantastic too

P.S. I'm not surprised that Ken put Pawn Hearts first as his tastes generally seem somewhat less mainstream (he often mentions Krautrock and rare European albums). Even though Van Der Graaf were very good musicians, they were not about flashy virtuosity - they were all very much in service to the mood and the arrangement.

#1 Thick As A Brick
#2 Pawn Hearts
#3 Leftoverture
#4 Hemispheres
Just to be clear, I love all of these albums and the rankings are certainly not meant as a knock on any of them.

I'm with Ken 100% as far as rating goes. I have all 4 albums in my collection and they are all excellent in their own way but Pawn Hearts is an absolute masterpiece.

Van Der Graaf Generator is the best by a wide margin.
