Springsteen's version of Blinded by the Light is superior to Manfred Man's Earth Band version. Springsteen did write it after all

Really? Nick Mason's album?! ConfusedThat is a unique point of view. 
What about Richard Wright's two albums? David's debut album?! No?! What about Roger's Amused To Death?! Confused
Nick Mason's 'Fictitious Sports', David's first, and Roger's "Is This The Life We Really Want" for me. All of these clearly over Amused to Death and Rick's. Actually if I had to nominate just one, I'd probably go for Fictitious Sports as well. A fun album full of originality, and it has Robert Wyatt on it. 


And the track 'Hot River' from Fictitious Sports is a very witty Floydian pastiche.

There is no bad song on Foxtrot. Confused

I never said it was a bad song, just that it's the worst song off of an Amazing album

Meaning your least favorite?

Correct, I think it's overrated

Supper's Ready is overrated. Is that a hot take? LOL

I believe that is, yes LOL

The re is no such thing as "the greatest singer" ... What do you mean when you say that?

I never said it was a bad song, just that it's the worst song off of an Amazing album. I just think the song itself is a bit overrated

Yes, yes & yes again. I love all of those albums and I've bought most of them too, although I won't be buying Nick Mason's Fictitious Sports anytime soon. Smile

Another possible hot take:

Catherine Ribeiro is the second best female prog vocalist of all time (after Annie Haslam that is).
