High Hopes: my favourite one, just far more incredible is Gilmour's guitar performance on PULSE, with all that background singers & orchestra!
Cluster One: absolutely stunning instrumental track.
Coming back to Life: such a beautiful melodies brilliantly played by Gilmour's guitar, and again far better the performance on PULSE - that "slowly" guitar intro is awesome!
A Great Day for Freedom: another great piece and quite interesting lyrics.
The Division Bell: a pretty underrated album in my opinion.

This album was most welcome after the previous efforts.
Poles apart (the one track they didn't play live for the Bell tour which I was hoping for!) High hopes Take it back A great day for freedom
Plenty of other decent stuff as well on the album.

High Hopes of course. And then Coming Back to Life, Marooned, and A Great Day for Freedom. And I regret there was no space for Wearing the Inside Out. I may add that I do love this album, it may just as well rank at number 3 or 4 of my favourite Floyd albums.

Well, they DO are realeasing a new album this year... in october. Haven't you heard? And I do am afraid "The Division Bell" might have been a better album to end their career... but I guess we'll just have to hear the new album before judging it.

I have problems with even my favorite tracks on this album:
1. What Do You Want from Me: the main problem I have is with the lyrics. I wish the track were proggier; it ends too soon. 2. Poles Apart: even though it's my 2nd favorite track on this album, the track always seemed under-developed to me, especially the middle section that rips off the instrumental section of Welcome to the Machine. 3. High Hopes: I don't love this track like others do. I think it's merely okay; but still, compared to everything else, it's a highlight. 4. Marooned: I wish this were a part of a larger work, instead of a stand-alone track.
I have to admit, I prefer "On an Island" and "The Blue" to everything on The Division Bell.

I started this series of polls before the planned release of a new PF album became known. So I have mnade my plans yet. Maybe I'll incorporate the new one in another way later, but I have to tink a lot about that .
Anyway, my votes are:
Poles Apart A Great Day for Freedom Wearing the Inside Out High Hopes
With a kudo to What Do You Want from Me (aka Have Another Cigar).
