Surprisingly, these are the only 2 albums I own from PF, even though I've heard almost all of their albums.

I'll go with Meddle.

So hard to choose! I think I'll go with Meddle because of Echoes. DSOTM is flawless compared to Meddle though because I don't like Seamus.

I think there are rules about printing full lyrics here.

Once they are present on the sleeve design of all the album's editions and on tons of books about PF (the most recent entitled "The Lunatic"), I don't think there's anybody on this site who still doesn't know them.

Waters has a bad temper, we know, but I'm sure he won't start a lawsuite about lyrics copiright Big smile

Said so, it's good to remember that lyrics are copyrighted material and publishing them without permission can be considered an offense by the artists.

Just to add to what Jim (and Snow Dog) posted, we were once threatened with Copywrite violation because we were allowing members to post and reproduce full lyrics so now we ask members not to do it. A few lines are OK but not the full song, thanks.

How many of these Meddle voters are just "too individual" to vote for the generally-more-popular album?......
 
It's great and all that, particularly side two, but I feel that the majority of those songs are mediocre and in any case, surpassed by DSOTM. That's my opinion of course, but I get the impression (not just on this poll) that people will often shout about liking something less popular just to prove some kind of point.
 
Or worse, make a list of other choices they like that aren't on the poll! As if anybody cares about how musically diverse you are, or how many obscure things you can name - just answer the question........
 
Sorry for the negativity lol

It is never a problem posting a few lyrics, reviewers do this and magazines but they never post all the lyrics thats all i thought. I had to remove some lyrics from the Genesis thread on the poll i did and understandably as I had too many. A few lyrics are definitley a good thing to understand the artists themes in the music.
