    Told you it was good.

    I cannot believe you "Youngsters" had never heard of it.

      Yea but one of my other "Favorite Bands" has a few good ones also.

      Pig - Me and the Whore

      One white duck=nothing at all

      From a dead beat to an old geezer

      Anyone know the band? They have been together a long time, and its a well known group.

        I've always liked High Hopes, but its not in the poll. So voted for Wish you were here, the one i like best after that.
        For Gallifrey! For Victory! For the end of time itself!!

          Cause thats not "Real" Pink Floyd. No Roger Waters = No Pink Floyd.

            Ditto about the solos. We had a debate about the greatest guitar solo ever the other day, and it came down to a deadlock between "Comfortably Numb" and "Hotel California."
            I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.

                Jethro Tull. One of my favorites. I saw them in concert a few times in the mid-late 1970s. I wore out two copies of Aqualung, still have the third (with no turntable to play it on). But I am probably most partial to their song "Hunting Girl."

                  wish you were here. 1982, Omarama, floating around in the McCaws glider with a ghetto blaster hammering it out. I wish I was still. Now I have to go download it.

                      The winners

                      Wish you were Here
                      So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
                      blue skies from pain.
                      Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
                      A smile from a veil?
                      Do you think you can tell?
                      And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
                      Hot ashes for trees?
                      Hot air for a cool breeze?
                      Cold comfort for change?
                      And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
                      How I wish, how I wish you were here.
                      We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
                      Running over the same old ground.
                      What have you found? The same old fears.
                      Wish you were here.

                              Comfortably Numb, but Wish You Were Here was a very close second. Overall I think Dark side of the Moon was a better album than the Wall though. One of my favorite Floyd albums is "Animals"

                              Dogs
                              Pigs
                              Sheep

                              Good stuff.
