I thought OTG was your favourite?

This is what  I like about this list... so many different opinions!  For

me, Extremities is one of KJ's greatest moments, certainly helped by
what 
had come before, but it still sounds great when I play it. And I like
the 
fast bit in Beautiful Dead too!   Ha ha, I also like KJ2003 and
Democracy 
but hardly ever play Pandemonium.

Has anyone ever said OTG is their favourite?! Could such a thing be
possible?!
