On to Round 2 to determine the GREATEST song on the album 'Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd
Eliminated Round 1 -  Speak To Me, Any Colour You Like, and Money

For anyone new to the game:
You are going to pick the song that you think is the "Weakest Link" after 3 days I remove the three (3) songs with the most votes.
We will then move on to Round 3  - Remember you are voting to eliminate songs from contention.

Lets have fun with this. Remember debating and discussing why your right and others are wrong is always fun.

    Ever been in a restaurant trying to enjoy a meal and there’s that screaming, wailing child that makes 2 minutes of obnoxious crying seem like a fucking eternity? That’s about what this song equates to as a stand-alone tune.

    Looking close so far.  Should be interesting.

    I have to vote out On The Run.
    However..Great Gig was an extremely close contender, but the piano really helped save it for me. Plus it's trippy as Hell. The vocal notes in Great Gig certainly do hit notes of discord that hurt my ears at several points :not_listening: however the build up and flow and otherwise pure awesomeness of that song saved it for me.

    A doozy of a 1-2 punch.

    I think so. If Brain Damage and Eclipse were combined I think that would make it a very hard choice.

    Very difficult because I love the song.
    It perfectly captures that moment at the beginning of a trip when things start to get really crazy- that transition when you realize you're leaving reality.

    I voted for "Us and Them" for the same reason I voted for "Money." Both are amazing songs, but they just don't jibe with the overall soundscapes present on the rest of the album. ("Us and Them" is closer than "Money," but it still sticks out a bit.) I think that's why they're placed as the first two tracks on side 2. "Any Colour You Like" brings the album back on track sonically.

    "Money" and "Us and Them" seem like the result of that old Tom Petty lyric: "Their A&R man said, 'I don't hear a single.'"

    Great song (great fucking album!) but I like it less than the other songs.  Isnt that what this poll is for?  :)
    On the Run, which seems to be the popular kick-dog this round, holds a special place in my young man acid days.  Played that shit over and over.

    Surprised to see Money eliminated last round. I guess it suffered from "that song's popular and I'm too cool to like the popular song" syndrome.

    Would seem so - drugs are the reason I love OTR.  Were it not for them I would likely rank U&T higher.  (Or perhaps would not have listened to this record as frequently altogether)

    Shrooms & Pink Floyd laser shows did go well together 

    OTR does seems like a nice one for that
