    "and one day you find, 10 years have got behind you, no one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun"

    Just incredible music and lyrics.  only PJs Alive matches this song for me. my top 2 of all time.  just love every second of it.

    the lyrics in the last verse relating to the mental issues of Syd are just heartbreaking:

    And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear
    You shout and no one seems to hear
    And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
    I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

    The only Pink Floyd song that hits me harder is Wish You Were Here.
     
    Both of these posts exemplify why it’s difficult to pick between the two. I voted Time yesterday, would vote the other way today, and tomorrow the other way again, etc. Bottom line is voting here is not a vote against one, but a vote in favor of the other.

    Oh where are you now 
    Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf? 
    When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart 
    My head kissed the ground 
    I was half the way down, treading the sand 
    Please, please, lift a hand 
    I'm only a person whose armbands beat 
    On his hands, hang tall 
    Won't you miss me? 
    Wouldn't you miss me at all? 
    The poppy birds way 
    Swing twigs coffee brands around 
    Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue 
    My head kissed the ground 
    I was half the way down, treading the sand 
    Please, please, please lift the hand 
    I'm only a person with Eskimo chain 
    I tattooed my brain all the way
    Won't you miss me? 
    Wouldn't you miss me at all?

    —Syd
    I SAW PEARL JAM

    Syd was so tragic, mental illness is so tragic. Never take sanity for granted because it’s such a frayed line between sanity and insanity. Seeing Nick Mason and his band perform the early Pink Floyd stuff was such a trippy experience last week. You take a big risk anytime you flirt with the unknown.

    The one problem with making my list of albums to cover.. I had to find albums with 10 or fewer tracks so they would fit in the polls.

    Maybe try Fripp and Eno's No Pussyfooting.  Only 2 tracks!  :lol:

    True but like what you did with the Pearl Jam albums a couple of years ago (!) just hold a few tracks back until Round 2. So, for example, with Appetite, I'd hold back "Welcome To The Jungle" and "Sweet Child O' Mine" (since they are the most well known; not necessarily my favourites) and then put them in the mix during Round 2 (once "Anything Goes" and "Think About You" have been officially eliminated).

    With the above said, this is your baby and you can do whatever you'd like with it! Two big thumbs!
