    Posted: March 27 2008 at 08:22

Hi
Bob has given me permission to promote my Pink Floyd Top 20 radio show on May 17th. I would really appreciate your votes, so have a look at http://www.phoenixfm.com/top20-pinkfloyd.php and vote for your favourites. If you leave a comment I shall mention you during the show! I will have a few Phoenix FM stickers signed by Nick Mason to give away!!
We have a chatroom on the station which will be open on the night, but you have to register with Stickam first. It would be great to have some of you in there on the night! Many thanks,and I look forward to your company during the show.

Thought I'd give this one a bump.
 
The thread starter is looking for you to nominate your top Pink Floyd songs, so that he can compile the results and present them in the forum of a radio show.

I had no track from any album past "Meddle", and it  wasn't on purpose. Did you click the link and actually vote for your top ten there too?

yes I did. not the top ten from my list, since there was no special order in that list, except for "Echoes" being at the top. I consider "Echoes" to be the crowning achievement of Pink Floyd

If only to allow me to mention once more that there is only one great song on The Final Cut, how about Not Now John ? Maybe it is time, Jack !
Or High Hopes from Division Bell ? Yes, I know that it wasn't the real Floyd, but it wasn't Floyd the Barber , eh.
Of course, one knows that to pick 20 out of all their catalogue is no mean feat with all the songs that have practically become part of Rock Music's DNA.
