I voted Gold-Lloyd-Echolette.
I think the best AV album by far is Prostitute.
Probably people are over-estimating the input of Frank Mertens for the FY-album. Have in mind that AV worked with no less than three producers for that album also.


Take care

I agree prostitute is a brilliant album, but some of the melodies are crude and the rhythm is a bit mixed up. FY has more stronger melodies (thanx Mertens) and more programed rhythms, but what makes prostitute shine though are the lyrics.

I still think that FY is better, but thats only my opinion.

I think I will agree with you there, even though I'm not so sure it's really thanks to Mertens that the melodies are stronger. I also believe that his input may be over-rated.

But as I said, I pretty much agree about Prostitute. Melody-wise (correct spelling?), there are some real stinkers on that album, such as Beethoven (just unbearable!), Ain't It Strange, The One Thing and Some People. Also, a couple of the other songs are simply quite forgettable.

I'm not surprised. I haven't voted as I can't decide between the first and last options.

And I voted Gold/Lloyd/Echolette because my favourite album is Afternoons in Utopia!
Gold/Lloyd/Mertens were not too far behind though.
