 Topic: Pink Sequence #12: The Final Cut
Posted: August 11 2014 at 06:37 |
This is a multiple voting poll. Pick up to five favourite tracks.
In general, I don't give a  about re-releases, but for the occasion I included When the Tigers Broke Free, which dangles somewhere between The Wall and The Final Cut, in this poll. This track can be found in the film and on the 2004 remastered CD.

Not Now John is just about the only memorable track on the entire album.

Great album !
1) Paranoid Eyes - Does the cat meow 3 or 4 times? 2) The Fletcher Memorial Home 3) The Gunner's Dream 4) Post War Dream 5) Two Suns in the sunset
Remember buying it on day of release and the local shop giving me a few 'Final Cut' window stickers I proudly stuck on my old Fiat Miriafiori! Good old days! ;)

Only 3 faves for me :
Your Possible Pasts
The Fletcher Memorial Home
The Final Cut
............ the rest of the tracks are generally good, but don't stand out much for me.

The Gunners Dream is so emotional but that's not the only one. A special album for sure.

Exactly. The only song I take away from the album. The rest is either decent, or dull.

You just like 'em because they all start with the letter "T". 
(and yes, nice picks  )

I'll go with the opening 3 tracks, plus Paranoid and Southampton Dock.
Such a great album, I love the whole thing except for Not Now John which I'd love to purge from my CD.

First, "The Fletcher Memorial Home" and "The Final Cut", really wonderful songs. Then, "When the Tigers Broke Free", though I'm afraid I have the album with the original songs, so this one isn't included, but I got it on the "Echoes" album anyway; really beautiful and sad lyrics on this one. Also "The Hero's Return", though this one seems to be rather overlooked; as a matter of fact, this is a somewhat frustrating song, for I find it really cool, but extremely short, but somehow I managed to get a version of it from a single that includes part 2 of the song, and both parts together make a really wonerful song of adequate size. If only Waters had included this full version of the song, besides "When the Tigers Broke Free", I would have bought the album again. Last, "Two Suns in the Sunset", though I might just as well have voted for "Not now John" instead.
