OK, let's have this discussion somewhere else.

Fave: Muuhh (Runners up: More, Meddle)

Least fave: Final Cut

Simple - you squint.

What?

Least = Atom Heart Mother (really??....a cow)

Fav = Animals

^ Yes, exactly. The picture of those military uniform shoulder pads on the cover of a war-themed album - very appropriate.

Maybe it's not a tree. Maybe it's night sky with some sparks in the foreground. S#$%w it. LOL

Whatever.

No "What-ev-er" - it's a man in a tree - Wikipedia says it's a man in a tree, most PF websites say it's a man in a tree and most importantly Storm Thorgerson says it's a man in a tree in his book 'Mind Over Matter - The Images of Pink Floyd' - in fact that's the exact bloody phrase he uses: 'The slide in question - a man in a tree - soon came up and the defocused lens caused the little chinks of sunlight between the leaves to expand and transmute into incandescent hovering spheres, reminiscent of the old bubble slides of early Pink Floyd concerts'. (page 46).

So no "What-ev-er" - it's a man in a tree - you can see "what-ev-er" you sodding well like, you can see pink pigs flying over the surface of Cirus Minor for all I care, but it's still a man in a tree.

What?

A man in a tree? Sorry, I don't see it either.

No need to appologise - it doesn't matter whether you can see it or not - it doesn't matter whether what you can see is a man or just random patterns in the image - that's kind of the beauty of imagery, you can see what you like in any image and make you own interpretation - however that does not change the fact that the original photograph is of a man in a tree. That's all I'm saying really.

At this stage, I would wish to add a very intelligent comment to this debate:

It's a man in a tree.

Yep, it's a guy in a tree, I can see it myself now.

Relax, man, I believe you. I don't care what PF websites say, more than so do I not care about what Wiki says. But if Storm himself said so, I'll go with that.

Not my least favorite. Probably their worst ... which are two different things.
