There's a lot of sarcasm around here.

sarcasm apart, My vote goes for the one with the fiery man on the cover. Is it me, or almost every prog band composed a song similar to Shine On You Crazy Diamond? I mean, I hear that intro everywhere... ------------- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A veces es cuestión de esperar, y tomarte en silencio. |

| I can't vote for some reason... but if I could, I'd help out The Division Bell! Really fine work, IMO. Hard to compete with WYWH, though. |

| Wish you Were Here is my favourite Floyd album, but I really like The Division Bell too. |

| This is hard. WYWH has the title track and Shine which are essential classics but Division Bell has High Hopes which is definitely in my top 5 list of PF songs. I'd have to say they're about equal. |

Wish You Were Here. No contest here. WYWH is in my top ten and my favourite Pink Floyd album, The Division Bell is somewhere in the range 8-11 in my list of PF studio albums. -------------

| Division Bell is the only Pink Floyd album I dislike, and Wish You Were Here is a solid 5 star album, easy choice |

This almost qualifies as a Trollin' Poll, except that there's no-one siding with the Division Bell to troll. ------------- All your hearts now seem so far from me, It hardly seems to matter now. |

I'm voting Division Bell this time, even though it may be the only one. In actuality, I do not think it better than Wish You Were Here. So why such a vote? Because I think The Division Bell is a good album that works best in its entirety than broken down into individual songs. It has a flow to it that I enjoy very much, and it has great production and sound. Thus, my vote is not to sympathize, but to be contrarian. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |
