High Hopes over Marooned.

Sorrow at no One Slip and don't hate the others as much to be the last option.

High Hopes and On the Turning Away. Both great in concert.

"High hopes" for me too (specially the Pulse version). One of the best Floyd songs, and it was the best swansong a band could hope for... until it was replaced by the mediocre "Louder than Words". From this era, I also love "On the Turning Away" and "Yet another Movie" (both on the Delicate Sound of Thunder versions), and most of the Division Bell, specially "Marooned", "A great day for freedom", and "Coming back to life".

Floyd without Waters is like sweet potato pie without nutmeg.  You can do it but it just ain't right.

That concludes my idiotic observation of the day.

High Hopes is the only post-Waters Floyd tune that that would've deserved a spot of a Waters-era Floyd  (TFC included) album...
 
Sure Cluster One and Sign Of Life are OK instrumentals, but they take their influence on SOYCD.

Keep Talking is quite good.

All pretty vanilla and unremarkable music IMO. Like white noise.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Same with me.

Post Waters Floyd is much better than the Waters dominated years after Animals. The Wall and The Final Cut are mostly awful.

With High Hopes listed, Wearing the Inside Out will not get the votes it deserves---

My thoughts too. Well, I wouldn't say The Wall and Final Cut are awful, since they have their good share of music I like, but they are just not at the level of their previous albums, and indeed these post Waters albums have their good share of awsome songs. I don't understand how "Comfortably Numb" can be one of the greatest classics from the band, but yet mostly the songs on this poll get rather ignored in comparison. "Comfortably Numb" seems to have pointed the direction Gilmour would take the band by his own, and I love many of this other songs as much.
