I finally bought the remastered Meddle and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so in love with it all over again.
I am too.
Got around to listening to all the extra stuff on The Wall immersion and... they're interesting. The sound quality is of course better than the various Under Construction versions out there and I hadn't yet heard some of the band demos. Liking one of the early "Another Brick In The Wall" demos that's almost like a Pete Townshend acoustic number with this tremendous VCS3 sound in the front. Plus it's always interesting to hear Gilmour sing Waters' lines on "Comfortably Numb"

BTW, in addition to the main song poll I'm going to include a sub-poll of your top 3 PF live bootlegs/recordings.

From last year, but an interesting follow-up on the "mixing the 80s out of AMLOR" w/PF sound engineer Andy Jackson
SDE: Will A Momentary Lapse of Reason be remixed for an Immersion box set? David Gilmour has mentioned before his interest in “mixing the 80s out of it”AJ: Interesting point. A Momentary Lapse of Reason is an odd one out inasmuch as it’s the only album that was trying to be ‘of the time’, which now means it sounds dated, rather than timeless. We have started this process a while ago, doing new drums with Nick with a much more “Pink Floyd classic” approach. If & when we’ll pick it up I don’t know.SDE: (reponse to above): Very interesting…. one assumes that if there was to be an Immersion Edition of A Momentary Lapse of Reason then this process would probably be completed. Is it just the drums that have been redone so far?AJ: Yes and yes. It was our intention to remove some of the 80′s synths and get more Rick hammond on it. Obviously not possible for him to do it now, but we started the process of pulling some of his playing from gigs of those songs. Just a lot of editing/syncing to do on that, but it should work

In preparation for the poll, I started reading this...
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NdrpQskKL._SS500_.jpg
I was certain that I knew everything about PF before reading this (seriously, I know more Floyd trivia than Spacemen 3 trivia), but after a couple of quick spot-checks there were some fun stories in there I hadn't heard before... Ezrin trying to convince a grumpy Gilmour to go to a nightclub and listen to some disco so he'd understand "Another Brick In The Wall part 2"

Is there anyplace on the internets that has a list of songs that Gilmour played bass on, I know some of Animals at least, but I was listening to Fearless a couple of days ago and it doesn't sound like Waters at-all.
― Dick Move's Wardrobe (MaresNest), Monday, 30 April 2012 10:49 (twelve years ago) link
I've always wondered about "Part 2" and the guitar parts therein. This explains a great deal.
― Matt M., Monday, 30 April 2012 15:35 (twelve years ago) link
I'd never really paid attention to the tribute bands, but I have to admire Interstellar Factory from Italy. It's cool that they're only playing 1968-1972 Floyd, but it's GREAT that they covered "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast," complete with tea break.

Okay, that sets them apart. Though they're still just a tribute band.

Forgot to mention that I finished the book. Finally, a book about the Floyd that adds in the trash-talk, sex, drugs, and bad behavior that every good rock and roll story needs. Highly recommended, though be forewarned that no one comes out unscathed.
