1. Time vs. Bring the Boys Back Home

I could show some love for BtBBH, but I gotta be real and vote for Time

2. Is There Anybody Out There? vs. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1

Tough Wall battle here. There are pretty equal to me... both songs I really love, don't get talked about much, similar subdued vibe. I guess Brick Part 1, but I could go either way.

3. Welcome to the Machine vs. Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI–IX)

Definitely Shine for me.

4. Run Like Hell vs. Goodbye Blue Sky

Wow, another difficult Wall head-to-head. These are both probably in my top 4 or 5 on the album. But in my heart of hearts, I know... Goodbye Blue Sky

5. Money vs. Country Song

Oh, here's our lone holdover from Zabriskie Point. Not the one I would've expected, actually. Not that it matters, it's a goner. Money, obv.

6. See Emily Play vs. The Final Cut

This is testing my allegiance to TFC. But while I adore Emily, it's an easy vote for Final Cut

7. Dogs vs. What Shall We Do Now?

Round 2 is full of painful choices. I'd love to see WSWDN stick around longer but I can't vote against Dogs for it.

8. Atom Heart Mother vs. Pigs on the Wing (Part 2)

Is longer always better? Not necessarily. But in this case, yeah. AHM

Round 2 is full of painful choices.

Understatement.  Time is a no brainer for me.  But Is Anybody Out there and ABitW1 are both excellent transition songs, great mood pieces.  I don't even remember what I chose.  Machine and the second half of Diamond are both amazing.  I went with Diamond because I love it so, whether it is better or not.  Run Like Hell has gotten tiring over time, but GBS has increased my admiration.  Money is going to be a winner most of the time.  See Emily Play I like much better than anything on the Final Cut.  What Shall We Do and Pigs win mostly because I don't care for the two longer songs.

There won't be any updates to this thread for a while, I have some family business to attend to.
