Voting for Great Gig this round, despite wanting to see Money kicked out on its arse.

 

[Axver]

I'm surprised how swiftly On The Run got kicked out. I didn't think it would go first.

Now hurry up and get out of here, Great Unlistenable Gig.

 

[cobl04]

what do you want to win??

 

[Lancemc]

Great Gig.

 

[DaveC]

Any Colour You Like. I love it, but Great Gig in the Sky is unbelievable.

You're all Philistines

 

[Axver]

what do you want to win??

I honestly don't know! I think this album is pretty seamless, so it's hard to choose what to kick off once Great Unlistenable Gig is gone.

 

[Aardvark747]

Any Colour...

 

[UberBeaver]

This whole thing is madness. How can you eliminate pieces of this album.... Make it stop!

 

[Irishteen]

Why is the best song on the album the most voted for this round?

 

[cdisantis83]

After this round, this is going to be well nigh impossible. Any Colour You Like for me.

 

[BoMac]

I love the Great Gig. I voted for Any Colour You Like.

 

[LemonMelon]

The Great Gig in the Sky this time. Great song, but not good enough to hang with the rest. For the record, I love ACYL.

 

[Screwtape2]

Money.

 

[phanan]

I'm quite shocked that people prefer Money over Gig and Colour, which to me are indespensable pieces of this album, whereas if Money wasn't there, it would still be a great album.

There's no way Money is better.

In my humble opinion, of course.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Any Colour You Like.

I agree that Money is expendable, but I think Colour is as well, and I'd like to see if I can help save Great Gig. It deserves to be around for at least a couple more votes.

Excellent point! Money doesn't segue from anything or into anything either. Us And Them could very well start after Great Gig. Whereas the other 2 are essential pieces that make the puzzle and both such gorgeous pieces of music too! Can't believe they're both gonna get kicked out so soon!

Thank you, Dave.

I'm voting for Money in the next round. Great Gig is really one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard. Clare Torry is amazing

Seriously, I don't know how any of you actually hate Great Gig so much. Pick yourself up some hallucinogenic drugs and listen to it, I guarantee you'll cry and think it's one of the most beautiful things you've ever listened to.

Not that I would do anything like that, or advocate the use of mind-altering drugs while listening to Pink Floyd.

 

[Axver]

You don't need drugs to listen to Pink Floyd. Syd Barrett's already done them for you.

 

[Irishteen]

The best song survived another round, hopefully it can somehow last the next one too

 

[DaveC]

It really sucks having to wait for new rounds to open.
