    Wow this is tough!  I hope the next album you pick is just as good.  Remember evenflow into blood goes much better than evenflow into sirens, translation: don't follow with another Huey Lewis and the News album lol.

    Brain Damage
    If speak/breathe & brain/eclipse were combined as each being 1 song, I like brain/eclipse better

    but with each being single songs, I like:

    breathe>eclipse>brain damage

    Time FTW!

    I'd say it goes with Time because it's not listed as it's own track on the album, and is played as the coda for Time when Time is played on the radio. There was that one time though (the Live 8 reunion) where it was played as the third verse of Breathe.

    Really, Brain Damage and Eclipse should have just been coupled as one track for this poll. There's always played together...except by Eddie Vedder I guess.

    Casual observation, but it appears anyone voting Brain Damage this round might being doing so as a silent cry for help. We're here for you and understand you're confused, but pull your head out of your ass!

    Appreciate it, I don't comment as much as I enjoy reading the debates. Plus I would hate to influence the poll... (fwiw... Time is the winner)  ;)

    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:

    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.)

    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).
