All in all you're just another vote in the POLL! The Pink Floyd ballot poll thread (ILM Artist Poll Thread #49) - VOTING CLOSED

ballot sent! my first ilx poll!

lol @ pink floyd's 'related artists' in spotify

Sent! I just listened to the stuff I had laying around. I was able to observe how kinda sorta throwaway soundtrack stuff (Nile Song, Ibiza Bar) would be foundation material for another band's legend.

46 ballots in. They all RULE (seriously!)

wow it's gonna be a real party!

we'll need to dust off the oil slide projector

I had one of those as a kid! A toy version of a psychedelic oil slide projector. The slides were little disks that worked like a lava lamp using heat from the projector's light bulb. I didn't quite understand yet what it was supposed to be used for, and accidentally sat on and broke one of the slides which left a stain on the sofa that remained for the next 15 years.

47th ballot just sent!

I always end up waiting until the last moment in these polls and quickly put something together, obviously completely forgetting about many great songs. Anyway, I voted at least.

feel like at this point I can admit that much as I wanted to I couldn't deny brick pt2 a spot on my ballot. great solo plus there was real wtfness in the floyd dropping a surprise disco track even if it was a bit plodding.

It's hard to convey how pervasive disco was in the late '70s, so much so that everyone from the Stones to Barry Manilow to the Beach Boys to KISS felt they had to dip their toes in it.

First ballot poll I ever participated in... it ruled.

I kind of surprised myself with my choices--2 tracks from Final cut on my shortlist... but I didn't have the nerve.

This is one of the few polls in which i have no idea what will be in the top 5. i.e. there's no critical consensus at all what the best song from DSOTM is. I also don't know how the relative rankings of the Barrett vs. Waters eras will play out.

Some last minute listening by the fireside confirmed I like Richard Wright a lot more now than I did as a teen. VOTED.

Just submitted my ballot. God that was hard.

Roll out tomorrow...

You are fast! Thanks for the quick results.

psyched

I got my vote in under the wire last night. wish i'd had more time to explore the catalog but i gave myself a day to listen to a bunch of Floyd and throw together my ballot.

Perfect gif

That gif is hilarious.

bang a gong, get it on.

thanks for spotting that. (xxxpost)

damn forgot to vote, will be rooting hard for "Great Gig in the Sky"

what was the final ballot count?

Do you mean... The final cut?

the Final Cut, as it were

DAMMIT YOU ALWAYS DO THAT

Did not make this deadline, which sucks (in my head I had till the end of today). Will be following the rollout for sure though!

I think a measure of a good/great poll is finding totally new stuff to like in an artist I thought I had passing familiarity with, and this one was one of the best. A song I barely knew two weeks ago was my #1, and a song I'd never heard two weeks ago was my #5. I'm excited for the results.

Come in Poll #49, your results are up (Pink Floyd ballot poll results)

Since I don't dare say it in the results thread, I will here:

"Dogs of War" has aged surprisingly well – much better than a lot of AMLoR. For a song I couldn't stand 25 years ago, today it sounds like a purposeful nod to Floyd's blues roots. The lyrics aren't nearly as frightening as I remember and the Tom Scott solo break is actually kind of awesome.

Ok, carry on...
