Looks like DT managed another vote, but I have no idea where it came from. Shocked

Comfortably Numb... one of the greats of Pink Floyd. There are many songs I really love from Dream Theater, but "The Spirit Carries On" is not one of them. Not even close.

I've always thought of these two songs being rather similar from Pink Floyd and Dream Theater respectively. Or at least, 'The Spirit Carries On' is to Dream Theater as 'Comfortably Numb' is to Pink Floyd. I'm a big fan of the DT song, especially the live versions I've seen/heard. The PF song is a good one, but it just doesn't hit me the same way. Thoughts?

I can guess now how this poll might turn out though. Ermm
