No need to insult the song. I think it's fantastic and so do many other people.

Look who's talking. lol

To me, it looks like someone has been tampering with the votes for Welcome to the Machine. Not that I don't love the song of course, but it just seems highly unlikely it's reached this many votes already.

I'd say it's more than just Welcome to the Machine. 
New album!

Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts I–V. Have a Cigar.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts VI–IX.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

OK, enough is enough. Thanks voor your comments and your votes. Of course this is not directed to the tinkerbells trolling around - wish they were not here Angry; they deserve a permaban.

The voting results, corrected for the participants who admitted that they voted more than once for the same track:

1. Welcome to the Machine (111 votes)
2. Have a Cigar (59)
3. Wish You Were Here (47 votes)
4. Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5 (41)
5. Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 6-9 (39)

Nevertheless I have enough information to proceed with the results of this poll; it does not need to be redone.

Pink Sequence #09: Wish You Were Here - ruined


@Dayvenkirq: Thanks for the suggestion. Implemented.

Mmm... I think correcting the votes that people admitted duplicating seems a bit pointless given the results. Perhaps you could just try and count the votes people actually typed and compare them to the ones voted (usually they don't match on other polls, I guess because many people just like to vote but have nothing to say, but still it might be interesting). I think given the situation I didn't even tell which my votes were... actually, I'm not even sure if I did vote, I think not, but they were both parts of Shine on and Welcome to the Machine.

I have another plan, which I keep secret until the next round in which the WYWH-tracks appear. Then I reveal it.
