    Brain Damage/Eclipse is my favorite "song" on this record.  Cannot bear to vote for one of them.
    This blows.

    (And is still fun)

    Eclipse
    Eclipse as a stand alone song is the weakest link for me...
    especially when you put it up against the other songs left.
    '96: Seattle: Key Arena
    '98: Seattle: Memorial Stadium 1 & 2
    '00: Columbus: Polaris
    '03: Columbus: Germain
    '10: Columbus: Nationwide Arena
    '11: East Troy: Alpine Valley - PJ20 1 & 2 + EV Detroit
    '12: Missoula + EV Jacksonville 1 & 2
    '13: Chicago / Pittsburgh / Buffalo / Seattle
    '14: Cincinnati / St. Louis / Tulsa / Lincoln / Memphis / Detroit / Moline
    '15: New York City - Global Citizen Festival
    '16: Greenville / Hampton / Raleigh / Columbia / Lexington / Ottawa / Toronto 1 & 2 / Wrigley 1 & 2
    '17: Brooklyn - Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
    '18: London 1 & 2 / Seattle 1 & 2 / Missoula / Wrigley 1
    '22: Nashville / St. Louis

    Eclipse
    Eclipse is a blip of a song at the end of the album. It is in no way comparable to any of the songs left (and others that have been voted off - Us and Them for instance :angry: .)  

    Brain Damage is phenomenal  - Eclipse is not without BD. The other songs are all powerful on their own. 

    Everyone's gone crazy! Flashbacks are ruining people's judgment.  Next thing you know people will be choosing cheese over ice cream. Pandemonium!!!!

    IMHO, of course. :smiley:

    You just killed 'run, rabbit, run' .   As a fellow bibliophile I am saddened.

    Not voting on this one anymore, but I’ve had some scotch and I just wanted to say that I fucking love the Floyd.

    I’m more of an early Floyd person and I would rank Dark Side of the Moon below a handful of other Pink Floyd albums that both preceded and succeeded it, but it’s still a goddamn masterpiece. Just the best goddamn band ever (when Jethro Tull is not busy being the best goddamn band ever).

    The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
    Meddle
    A Saucerful of Secrets
    Wish You Were Here
    More
    The Wall
    Dark Side of the Moon
    Obscured by Clouds
    Animals
    Atom Heart Mother
    The Final Cut
    Ummagumma     (but I fucking love “Careful with that Axe, Eugene”)

    I don’t count the post-Roger stuff, but I’d probably have to put The Endless River in the lead because at least you don’t have to deal with Gilmour’s lame lyrics. (Polly Samson, Gilmour’s wife, probably wrote the best lyrics after Roger left.)
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    Give me music, give me books, but talking during music?  I want to say no way but there is one exception:  Lou Reed.

    But the poor bloke was really drunk at the time. 

    (I like Lou Reed, but I saw him live at a college campus on Long Island and it was excruciating).

    We just need to go ahead and anoint Time as the best track on this album.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Eclipse reminds me of release, a perfect ending to a perfect album.

    Run Rabbit, Run... nightmare music, lol!

    I've heard Lou's live performance ranged from great to not so good.  I just wish I'd seen him once- even a sub standard show- simply because I'm that much a of a fan.  Sorry to hear the time you saw him wasn't so great.
