Gotta be Welcome to the Machine for me here. Still a terrific song though. Just shows how strong this album really is. It is probably their best album. Very veryy good.

Wish You Were Here for the win. :dancing:
 
Well, this was easy. Welcome To The Machine's the least memorable song.

Have A Cigar for the win!

Can't go with you on that one. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) should win.

Depending on the day, there's a good chance I'd agree that SOYCD I-V is better. But Have A Cigar is a strong personal favourite, so I'll go for it in the tournament. Whatever the case, the two of them are both in my PF top five.
 
My God, this is an incredible album. I have to vote for "Have a Cigar" to leave, despite its brilliance. Here's looking to Shine On I-V as the victor.

Really, you can't go wrong with any of these songs winning this thing. The entire album is my personal favorite and utterly incredible.

Indeed. :up:
 
Welcome to the Machine. It's boring as hell. I'd rank the album like so:

1. Wish You Were Here
2. SOYCD (6-9)
3. Have A Cigar
4. SOYCD (1-5)
5. Welcome To The Machine

Quoted for stacks of truth.

Personally, I'd rank the album as follows:

1. Have A Cigar
2. SOYCD I-V
3. Wish You Were Here
4. SOYCD VI-IX
5. Welcome to the Machine

I think that 1-3 are almost unrankable and I'd be happy if any of them won. I do, however, feel that SOYCD VI-IX is quite noticeably inferior to I-V.
 
I'm a bit surprised that Machine is leading. I thought Cigar would be. They're both definitely my least favorites here but I think I like Machine a bit more.
 
Have a Cigar is the most generic song on the album. I like it, but the best thing on here? No fucking way.

I voted for the second section of Shine, which isn't nearly as good as the first 5 parts.

No way the title song isn't taking this.
