There'll be 5 days to vote for this one, given how close I can anticipate it being. There will also be a special "loser's round" when the voting for this is done, where one of the albums eliminated in the first round will get a shot at the championship! Get to voting, folks! ------------- Heaven's made a cesspool of us all. |

| Okay, now I'm voting Dark Side (although Ummagumma is still much better) |

Wish You Were Here has some of my favorite Floyd moments (usually from Wright), but Dark Side of the Moon is more consistent for me, so it gets my vote. The irony is, I think I may have actually voted the opposite of what I intended, so now I wish I were on the dark side of the moon. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Both are 5 star albums imho. Wish You Were Here is #1 on my list of PF studio albums, Dark Side of the Moon is #4. -------------

Wish You Were Here, by a tiny whisker. they are both gold plated five star albums (as are Animals & The Wall IMO).

Wow, this is a touch choice, but I gotta go to the Dark Side  (I know, that was a bad joke). I just find Dark Side of the Moon more enjoyable...also, it was much more influential and innovative than WYWH imo.

I'm very torn on this one. But my gut tells me Wish You Were Here, so that's what I'm going with. ------------- All your hearts now seem so far from me, It hardly seems to matter now. |

My gut tells me "stop eating you fat b*****d, I'm full" Wish You Were Here for me. I love Wright on this album, some great synth and keyboards in general. Also some superb Gilmour work and Roy Harper singing a song to boot! Probably My favourite Floyd album. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

| I'd say Dark Side any day, but Shine On has been having a very profound effect on me recently. So instead of tying it, I vote WYWH. |

I'll vote for Wish You Were Here to Tie, mainly on the strength of SOYCD, but I also really love Have A Cigar.

Both are in my top ten favorite albums of all time... but Dark Side is number seven, whereas Wish is number two. +1 vote for WYWH. ------------- "I am the one who crossed through space...or stayed where I was...or didn't exist in the first place...." |

| Not surprised by the final two choices in the end. Both of these are on my bottom 5 list of PF albums I listen to. But I'll take WYWH 'cause of side II's Shine on. |

| of course Wish you were here is deeper than Dark side. Can you tell me what songs from dark side can eclipse Shine on and welcome to the machine? |
