Yup i know it doesn't seem fair having The Wall on here but with five polls left after this FLOYD will be on every one of them so get used to it.
Oh, i pick my favourite Univers Zero album.

The Funeral Plain is such an amazing track. I read where Andy Kirk the composer said the best version of it is on the live "Relaps" record.

I had it on cassette originally when it came out in 1979 my last year of High School, then i ended up replacing it on cd at some point. It may have some tunes on it that i've overplayed but this is brilliant. Love the effects and i did see the movie in a theater too back then whenever it came out.

I can't remember if I have seen the entire movie or not. It seems as though I tried it and ended up shutting it off it was so weird. I did see Roger Waters' performance of it this past summer though, and that was quite good. I also remember watching the performance at the Berlin Wall, and I have a copy of that on CD.

Giving Atem a vote, it and Heatwave are both pretty winning albums. SGM in third.

I heard that the Waters show was pretty incredible. I only saw Floyd once and it was the Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour. They sold out three straight nights and i saw them on the second show. ot exactly the best tour to have seen Floyd what with Waters not being there and all but it was still pretty cool.

I didn't know you were a fan of On The Sunday Of Life  . It's just that not too many are although Wanorak(Jeff) just gave it a vote and i too think highly of it.

Atem is great ! Love the mellotron on it and remember John Peel claiming it was the album of the year for him. A bold statememnt considering it was 1973 !

Love Zao, TD, and UZ but have to go with Vespero's masterful By the Waters of Tomorrow. It makes me want to get up and move!
I've had enough of the wall for this lifetime, thank you very much.

UUUUUHHHH what a pickle!
The sheer thought of having to choose between Vespero and TD is just mad. Maybe I'll toss a coin or something... Maybe let my cat sniff the albums and scratch the right one?

The Wall was the first "R" rated movie I ever saw. I was already a big Floyd fan, and my dad took me to the theater to see it when I was 12. Scared the living sh*t out of me.
