Time, although Is Anybody Out There? is marvelous.
Goodbye Blue Sky although voting against Shine on You Crazy Diamond is a sin against my soul.
Money, because, well, it's Money.
Pigs on the Wing because I just don't really care for Dogs, sorry.
Wish You were Here and Nobody Home is the hardest choice ever.  Love both those songs.  I have no idea which I chose.
Great Gig in the Sky because I cannot vote against that song.
I painfully chose Hey You.
Astronomy Domine because we must not forget Syd.

You chose WYWH. As of now, I'm the only vote for Nobody Home.

>>Time vs. Is There Anybody Out There?

Time is simply one of the best songs ever constructed and could battle for my favorite PF song. I guess I will really find out if it comes up against WYWH at some point. 

>>Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI–IX) vs. Goodbye Blue Sky

Shine On!


>>Money vs. The Final Cut

This one is easy, The Final Cut bares all and needs more love.  Plus Money is simply overrated.

>>Dogs vs. Pigs on the Wing (Part 2)

Somehow how the weight of the two songs seems unfair to but them up against each other. I feel like a heavyweight it fighting a fighting a lightweight.  Dogs it is

>>Wish You Were Here vs. Nobody Home

WYWH is just going to always get my vote... until maybe it goes against Time than I am going to curse Martin


>>The Great Gig in the Sky vs. One of These Days

I am too lazy to go check what I voted for her.  Both have something very unique and I guess I could go either way from day to day

>>Hey You vs. Fearless

Hey You always one of my favorites from the Wall, maybe it just works great as a stand alone song without having to be part of the package. 

>>The Hero's Return vs. Astronomy Domine

I feel Astronomy Domine if stuck in another time though maybe I am just showing a bit of bias voting for The Hero's Return

Round 3, part 2 results:

Time vs. Is There Anybody Out There? (9-0)
Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts VI–IX) vs. Goodbye Blue Sky (3-6)
Money vs. The Final Cut (5-4)
Dogs vs. Pigs on the Wing (Part 2) (5-4)
Wish You Were Here vs. Nobody Home (8-1)
The Great Gig in the Sky vs. One of These Days (5-4)
Hey You vs. Fearless (5-4)

So, I goofed. In the previous round, I accidentally advanced Astronomy Domine instead of One of My Turns. So we need a quick redo match:

The Hero's Return vs. One of My Turns

One of My Turns is the song that really got me hooked on Pink Floyd.  Highly dramatic, good storytelling and kinda scary, it is everything I want in a song that I never knew I wanted.
