Yup i know it doesn't seem fair having The Wall on here but with five polls left after this FLOYD will be on every one of them so get used to it.

Oh, i pick my favourite Univers Zero album.

The Funeral Plain is such an amazing track. I read where Andy Kirk the composer said the best version of it is on the live "Relaps" record.

I had it on cassette originally when it came out in 1979 my last year of High School, then i ended up replacing it on cd at some point. It may have some tunes on it that i've overplayed but this is brilliant. Love the effects and i did see the movie in a theater too back then whenever it came out.

Heatwave pretty easily for me.

On The Sunday... and Of Natural History would be by two & three.

I can't remember if I have seen the entire movie or not. It seems as though I tried it and ended up shutting it off it was so weird. I did see Roger Waters' performance of it this past summer though, and that was quite good. I also remember watching the performance at the Berlin Wall, and I have a copy of that on CD.

Giving Atem a vote, it and Heatwave are both pretty winning albums. SGM in third.

I heard that the Waters show was pretty incredible. I only saw Floyd once and it was the Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour. They sold out three straight nights and i saw them on the second show. ot exactly the best tour to have seen Floyd what with Waters not being there and all but it was still pretty cool.

Atem is great ! Love the mellotron on it and remember John Peel claiming it was the album of the year for him. A bold statememnt considering it was 1973 !

Love Zao, TD, and UZ but have to go with Vespero's masterful By the Waters of Tomorrow. It makes me want to get up and move!

I've had enough of the wall for this lifetime, thank you very much.

The Wall.

One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D

Date Posted: January 08 2013 at 11:23

UUUUUHHHH what a pickle!

The sheer thought of having to choose between Vespero and TD is just mad. Maybe I'll toss a coin or something... Maybe let my cat sniff the albums and scratch the right one?

The Wall was the first "R" rated movie I ever saw. I was already a big Floyd fan, and my dad took me to the theater to see it when I was 12. Scared the living sh*t out of me.

I guess I'll vote for the Wall. I'm not nuts about any of the other albums here that I am familiar with. I like them ok (Sunday of Life & Kawana especially), but not as much as the Wall.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum is a band I've attempted to acquaint myself with, but I just can't quite stomach them. I appreciate what they're trying to do, but it makes me queasy.

I gave the Ozrics a vote - curious corn is a great album

also love the Wall

On the Sunday of Life is really uneven for me.... a few tracks are amazing though

I happen to be one of those people who thinks The Wall is a masterpiece, but I feel like voting for something else. I just noticed that only the ones I know have no votes LOL

. Anyway I feel like going with the ultra spacey Fragments Of Light, I really dig that debut album and can definitely reommend it to all you space fans.

I am! It's quite the goodie. Theres just something about it...maybe its the naivety of youth bursting through. I do think it's also one of the more consistent ones in the PT discog (and highly consistent...not just average all the way through.

My top 3 PT would probably be:
Stupid Dream
On The Sunday...
In Absentia

I would rate that ZAO album as my runnerup here and it's sad to see it without a vote but at least it's been mentioned. Didier Lockwood from MAGMA is part of the band at this point on violin. This would be their best selling album but they imploded before the next record when Seffer, Truong and Lockwood would leave. Only Cahen and Prevost would remain. A jazzy record for sure but Free Folk has that Zeuhl flavour and is my favouriite song on here. So freaking good !!

Hey i've been doing job search most of the day guys and working on my resume. Just sayin'.

That made me laugh right out loud. Yeah there was a reason it was R rated i suppose. I wasn't too happy with it at the time, haven't seen it since.

I think Curious Corn is one of their best, some nice variety on it as well.

In my top three here with Univers Zero and Zao, in fact i could have easily picked this one in the poll. Love this band ! I would rate this as my favourite from them.

Interesting because your not really into just one period of the band but pick one from each era.

I only have had the top three and bottom two choices in the poll. Of those, I think my order would be:
1. Atem
2, Kawana
3. Heatwave
4. The Wall
5. Of Natural History

The only one of those albums I never loved is the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum one as the metal/ harsh stuff put me off, but I haven't tried listening to it since around the time I joined PA. The Wall was one of my very favourite rock albums for many, many years.
