The older you get the more you realize not to waste time. 

"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.

Just couldn't bring myself to vote for Brain Damage,
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.

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.

I really don’t get why everyone blows their nut over GnR.

Says the guy that blows his load whenever he hears Scott stapp.

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

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

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!
