5. Yeah, me too. GREAT, GREAT song.
This is a hard poll to answer, though. So much great stuff on each side.

9. I read a few months ago
that a Brit poll ranked "Comfortably Numb" #1 for best guitar solo. If you've ever seen it done live, that's very understandable. If you haven't, I highly recommend the "Pulse" DVD.

2. Shouldn't you be in bed? Or calling your girl and telling her she's pretty?
It's the one with Comfortably Numb on it. But really cool people have it on vinyl.

:D

3. Best part of this is that I edited this 8 ways to Sunday, and
"Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' was a 2-CD set. Vote your favorite." Failed each time.

4. I don't get this poll
Edited on Sun Jan-21-07 02:22 AM by BrewerJohn
You've got to start at the beginning and see it through to the end. I mean,
how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

7. Dark Side Of The Moon
"The Wall" was a pretty good album, but DSOTM, WYWH, and Animals blew it away.

That was the beginning of Roger Waters' pretentious period. Although, the rest of the band was originally pitched a choice of "The Wall" or some concept about a hitchhiker. They made a wise choice, as "The Pros and Cons of Hitchiking" eventually became a really shitty Waters solo album.

13. "Dark Side" was probably their best album, followed closely
by Wish You Were Here...
I absolutely LOVE 'Welcome to the Machine'...
'What did you dream?
It's alright, we told you what to dream!'

8. Score one for Oasis
Edited on Sun Jan-21-07 05:17 AM by last_texas_dem
Sorry, it just needed to be done. haha

Actually, if I had to pick I'd go with the first disc. I never get tired of the cool, albeit-played-to-death-on-classic-rock-stations, tracks on side three, but I've never really gotten into side four much. So I'd vote for the first half 'cause I think it's more consistent.

10. One of those facts you never needed to know
about the Wall. The last song on the last side is actually the first part on the first side with the first song on the first side being the second half of the song.

Just listen to the two back-to-back and you'll see what I'm talking about.

11. My vote goes for 'Comfortably Numb' 'The Trial' 'Hey You' and 'Run Like Hell'
Pink Floyd kicks some major ass.

I'll stick with Portishead and Massive Attack for those sorts of activities, thank you very much!

28. All of Pink Floyd is the greatest albums ever
And I remember Echoes/Meddle from my youth, 8-track tapes and all. I still have an English Import version. Thick virgin vinyl, super clear with minimum groove noise.

Where's me blotter?

18. I can't decide which disc is best,
so I voted for disc one, just because it is so outvoted. :)

23. Disc 3 looks killer, but where's Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun?
My fiance and I just saw Roger Waters on his Dark Side of the Moon tour last fall, and he's still got the magic. It was beautiful at the end of the show to see them release the huge floating pig balloon and set it free to float over the San Francisco Bay and out to sea. That show, btw, was exhilaratingly anti-W -- all of the WWII imagery had been updated and replaced with shots from Iraq and pictures of the * administration.

I vote other: Piper at the Gates of Dawn- the whole thing.

29. Tricky. Disc 2 has the best track, but a lot of so-so stuff
('Comfortably Numb' is the best, IMO, not surprisingly) but Disc 1 is more even. Apart from CN, I could live without all of side 3.

Is your assignation of lead vocals 'official', or your best guess? I thought "Another Brick in the Wall (Part I)" sounded more like Gilmour. (And if it's 'official', have you seen any lists for other Floyd albums? I've always wondered about a few songs)

30. Sides 3 and 4 have it over 1 and 2.
But not by much. It's just a great all around album.
