Not even close for me, this time it's San Tropez.

 

[LemonMelon]

San Tropez, because a unanimous vote would be cool.

 

[GibsonGirl]

A Pillow Of Winds. I love San Tropez. It's so jazzy and fun. And what an awesome little bass line. I know it's going to go, though.

I agree GG

I love the San Tropez..


but a pillow of winds is the weakest here

 

[LemonMelon]

but a pillow of winds is the weakest here

 

[cdisantis83]

San Tropez is a very quaint, uncharacteristically upbeat Waters tune, but simply not strong enough to contend with the others.

 

[DaveC]

A Pillow of Winds is the best song on Meddle.

Yes, you read that correctly.

 

[xaviMF22]

A Pillow of Winds is the best song on Meddle.

Yes, you read that correctly.

and what kind of crack are you smoking?


Echoes bitches

Echoes

 

[lazarus]

Fearless FTW.

San Tropez is a nice song, but it's among giants now.

 

[Axver]

A Pillow Of Winds honestly gets a little boring by the end, so it gets my vote.

 

[hardyharhar]

I gotta go with San Tropez here A Pillow is next

 

[GibsonGirl]

Bye, San Tropez. If you're alone I'll come ho-o-ome.

 

[Zoots]

San Tropez.

Pillow Of Winds is beautiful!

 

[Screwtape2]

I have to go with Fearless. It is a good song but San Tropez and Pillow Of Winds simply have more substance.

 

[DaveC]

and what kind of crack are you smoking?


Echoes bitches

Echoes

Apparently the same stuff you smoke when you listen to In Rainbows.

Seriously, A Pillow of Winds is fucking beautiful. And it's got a little bit of a history for me (memories abound when I hear it), so it holds a special place for me. Same with Fearless.

That slide guitar (in both tunes)

 

[UberBeaver]

After this round I'm going o have to take up meditation before I can vote.

 

[phanan]

Wow, I'm surprised by the number of people here who like San Tropez. I think it's awful and there's no way it's better than A Pillow Of Winds or Fearless.

 

[DaveC]

I listened to the whole album again earlier tonight, and I really think A Pillow of Winds and Fearless are better than Echoes and One of These Days.

That is not a knock on Echoes or OOTD. And that's saying a whole friggin' lot.

God bless this forum tonight. The top 3 topics are Meddle, Radiohead albums, and Led Zeppelin.

 

[hardyharhar]

I use to listen to this on fm radio in the early 70's before DSOTM was out, and Led Zeppelin 1 - 4 were heavily played too. It's memory lane for me tonight

And I like Radiohead

 

[Aardvark747]

Pillow of winds

 

[LemonMelon]

I listened to the whole album again earlier tonight, and I really think A Pillow of Winds and Fearless are better than Echoes and One of These Days.

And I think I agree with you there.

 

[LMP]

San Tropez is fun, but it can't top the others. I love Pillow of Winds.

One of These Days should be the winnah of the album though, it's balls-to-the-wall awesome.

 

[lazarus]

How does Fearless have a vote already?!

One of These Days is cool as hell, but up against an actual great SONG like Pillow or Fearless I can't say it's the best thing on the album.

 

[Lancemc]

San Tropez must die. Even though I really like it.
