No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

I still play Selling England by the Pound the most - so I'll pick this one from this excellent selection.

It's 'Play because it was the only band among the list that I was fortunate enough to see live that year. And what a show! It was as thrilling as the record, with a group of fan favorites offered up in the encore. F'ing magic.

Selling England, ahead of DSOTM.

For me there are two finalists and it's absolutelyimpossible to choose between"Selling England by the Pound" and "Dark Side of the Moon". That's said, I gave my vote to "DSOM" because it no longer seems to get the respect it deserves. I was in high school when this album came out and five years later it was the consensus of everyone I knew that "DSOM" was the greatest album ever made. (At that time we all agreed that "Stairway to Heaven" was the greatest rock song ever made). "DSOM" still resonates, even more actually as I get near that final destination, and still strikes me as one of the greatest albums ever made. Same with "SEBP" but it gets nowhere near the disrespect that "DSOM" has gotten lately. IMHO.

I could pick any of Larks, DSOTM, Selling England or Passion Play. Today I'm in the mood for the Passion Play.

Larks, although Floyd is close... although Us and Them has always been such a drag.

It's between Dark Side and Selling England. I dislike Battle of Epping Forest more than anything else on either album, but somehow today I feel like voting for Selling England, even if Pink Floyd is easily my favourite band of the two (but Dark Side isn't my favourite album from them, while Selling England is my favourite one from Genesis).

I love Selling England and listen to it all the time--it's sublime prog---perfectly British. Having said that I also listen to Tales all the time. But voted SEBTP today.
