Thanks, Elvis T.
Most considered graphics of any ILM poll roll-out to date, I reckon. Over and over, I was thinking "spot on image choice". Great stuff.

The first time I got really into "Piper", and I was reading along to the lyrics to "Astronomy Domine", it seemed sort of obvious that the internal rhyme scheme has basically been an eternal well they kept going back to, sometimes with embarrassing results ("Wish You Were Here").

syd maybe a bit overrepresented among the upper echelons, but i guess that's to be expected... top 9 are really good, really top notch picks. "fearless" a bit of dark horse- me i don't think it's really that much better than, say, "a pillow of winds"- but still a great song.
song i'm saddest about not making it on the list: scream thy last scream. yeah, i know it's unreleased, but i kind of figured everyone had heard it by now, and i really do think it's syd's best song.
by the way what was the highest-placing song from the final cut?

loving the lower echelons! i think this is probably the only poll ever where "the trial" ties with "rain in the country". glad that the top "final cut" pick was also my pick, too! respectable.
sorry to whoever voted for mudmen at #1. we let you down, man.
i guess what i'm wondering now which songs got no votes at all... i'm seeing seamus (rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead must be so sad) and absolutely curtains.
surprised that "stethoscope" was so high! great jam, but the song itself (all one minute of it) is kind of actively terrible. :) i mean, i'd rank "pow r toc h" over it myself...
