[cobl04]

Sorry about the wait last time folks.

Let's get some double/triple/quadruple/quintuple elims goin...

 

[Axver]

I don't think I can vote here, at least not until the later stages. I don't have a number of these songs.

 

[cobl04]

We can strategically vote. Maybe five or six of us could vote for the less liked songs, get them out of the way....

 

[DaveC]

to planned ties. This is a great list of tracks, and there's really nothing here I dislike, unlike the Radiohead B-Sides. Heart Beat, Pig Meat is the most pointless of them all, though.

 

[phanan]

Agreed. We've got some real classics here.

And I second Heart Beat, Pig Meat.

 

[DaveC]

We've got some real classics here.

There are five songs on this list that are potential winners in my book, and I'd even push for all five to make a deep run in the final draw. Pink Floyd had some really solid b-sides.

When The Tigers Broke Free is going next though, no doubt about that.

 

[Aardvark747]

"I didn't really call you Eddy baby did I sweety?"

 

[cdisantis83]

Heart Beat, Pig Meat is the most pointless of them all, though.

I suppose then that you have not heard "Vegetable Man" and "Scream Thy Last Scream." I am not sure which of those to vote for right now, but it has to be one of them.

 

[cdisantis83]

A vote for Point Me at the Sky?! Who would do such a thing?

 

[DaveC]

I suppose then that you have not heard "Vegetable Man" and "Scream Thy Last Scream." I am not sure which of those to vote for right now, but it has to be one of them.

I have heard both (I've heard every song on this list), and they're both good, fun songs with a lot of meaning in terms of Pink Floyd's catalog and future direction. Whereas HBPM is useless filler from a movie soundtrack. As is When the Tigers Broke Free.

 

[phanan]

Vegetable Man would be next for me.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Heart Beat, Pig Meat. Avant garde rubbish.

Why is "Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up" here? It's essentially the same song as "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" with some very minor vocal differences.

 

[GibsonGirl]

I suppose then that you have not heard "Vegetable Man" and "Scream Thy Last Scream." I am not sure which of those to vote for right now, but it has to be one of them.

I like Scream Thy Last Scream. If only for the rarity of hearing Nick singing lead...

 

[Zoots]

I don't think I can vote here, at least not until the later stages. I don't have a number of these songs.
