There are three things predictable in life : "Death, Gazpacho and a David Gilmour's solo". 

Emilio Duckinson, from the collection of poems : "The cake on the lake". 1875.

Silly. There are only three things predictable in life: Death and a David Gilmour solo. And that Pink Floyd would win this poll.

I highly disagree. One has to wonder whether you've actually heard a Pink Floyd album before. On the surface, Pink Floyd's music may seem simplistic but this has to do more with its emotional directness than the actual music itself. The Wall taken as a whole, which, in theory, is one large work, it is one of the most complicated pieces of music in rock music. Anyway, I'm not here to convince you to change your mind, but I am here to tell you that you're WRONG! Big smile 

You'll just have to forgive me, friend, for voting for Zappa. Shut Up 'N' Play Yer Guitar comes in right next to the lamb for me. I don't need to say anything negative about Floyd. My vote is derived straight from my enthusiasm for Zappa. I'm not surprised Floyd is winning. I am surprised and disappointed it's so lopsided.

^Hi HackettFan, what does this album sound like? I'd just downloaded one of these days the tunes Packard Goose and Watermelon in Easter Hay (mentioned here) and the latter surprised me about the guitar melody style, quite enjoyed it, in someway it reminded me of some songs I have from Eric Clapton that also have this slowly paced guitar melodies, quite interesting, I'm just curious about Shut Up 'N' Play Yer Guitar, is this more a jazz based one? I still can't be clicked by this syle unfortunately, anyway happily there are always exceptions that could make me get better its feelings... thanks if you can help me.

Pink Floyd.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
