Starless& Bible Black vs Animals

Well since I can't vote in this poll, I suppose I can at least give an opinion. 'Starless' is my favourite KC album after 'Court'. I agree it's a bit scattershot in terms of source material, but not in terms of quality. Also love 'Trio' even if David Cross - in both this and 'Night Watch' is leaning heavily on Vaughn Williams, e.g. 'The Lark Ascending'.

'Animals' used to be one of my favourite Floyd albums but I've grown less fond of it. Still it's a tough call between the two. I think if I could only have one, it'd be 'Starless'. 

In hindsight I think 'Animals' is where Waters' political harangues (he's like a prog Jello Biafra) started to make Floyd seem like a backing band.

Incidentally I mostly agree with Waters' politics; I just don't find it as lyrically moving as his ruminations about mortality and life in general.

I'm unable to vote in any polls for some reason. I was wondering whether it was because I had to get a new account.

Originally I was just 'Braka', but at some point a few months ago I got logged out, my password didn't work, and I never received an email when going through the lost password protocol.  Hence 'Braka1'. I don't remember whether I had to go through a 'can't vote' period the first time around.

Roger Waters is now worth twice as much as Dave Gilmour which shows that a good lyricist is worth more than a good guitar player.

Couldn't agree more and Waters 'complained' his way to a huge bank account.
