| The last two albums of Pink Floyd took a different direction than their inmediates predecessors, returning to the times of Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here or Animals, but not so progressive. I find difficult to find tracks with progressive elements in those albums. Anyway I think that the ones in the poll could be related with a progressive rock in a modern format. Which ot them do you like more in a progressive context? (I left aside Signs of life because is too short) |

| "High Hopes" was incredibly good. In my top 5 PF songs. |

| There's so many songs I love from this two albums. Right now I feel like voting for Marooned, though I could just as well have voted for any other on the list except for Sorrow or Cluster One. I also agree about "High Hopes". |

Definately, Dellinger. High Hopes was to me better than Comfortably Numb(and that is saying a lot!). Kind of similar, but the slide work could bring tears. I've seen Gilmour do it live(On an Island tour most recent). This man Gilmour, was gifted. A true guitar hero with a style that is unmistakable when you hear it. And a great voice too. ------------- If I'm lost or mislayed keep on looking don't be afraid. |

I think that Reason & Bell have indeed got alot of good stuff. Although it's not as progressive anymore as it was with Animals or Atom Heart Mother, I think it's still 100% better than anything else that were released in that years. I saw the DB tour and that was quite something, yes. Seeing it live...was one heck of an experience. It's also therefor that I voted for Sorrow, as live and certainly on the 94 tour, Gilmour was on fire during this tune. But yes, no High Hopes or On The Turning Way.......which both are other favorites of mine of this era. And on this list, Yes Wearing, Keep Talking and Marooned are all truly great songs too.

Wearing the inside out. The last great effort of Rick Wright. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

From this list I choose Yet Another Movie, just above Wearing the Inside Out and Sorrow. But most of my favourites from this album are on The Division Bell: High Hopes, Poles Apart and A Great Day for Freedom. -------------

Apart from the opening instrumentals of both albums (both imitating Shine On You CD), there isn't much coming cose to the heydays, the only exception being High Hopes. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

The tracks that I chose for the poll, are those ones that I think are prog related. Maybe many of you doesn't share my opinion about this. That's the reason why I didn't include songs as High hopes. I would like some opinion about if you can find something prog in the tracks listed in the poll. In my case, except Terminal Frost, the rest are good tracks. Wearing the inside out and Keep talking, maybe the best. I will go with Keep talking, because the instrumental interlude (Gilmour and Wright) is superb. |

We'll, that would be Broken China (a very good solo album) and ofcourse his work on Remember That Night and Live in Gdansk. Which both are 2 unbelievably amazing performances.....especially because of Echoes....blasting, blistering, vague, experimental and so sudle and emotional....what a track...totally blowing me off my socks...and it is clearly Wright here that shines. But yes, Wearing The Inside Out is one of the last great Pink Floyd songs written by the grandmaster and possibly Floyd's most underestimated member. Wearing...recalls the heydays of Us and Them.

I was read something about this (an incomplete album from Rick). Broken China is a really solid album, too much floydian than Gilmour's ones. Gilmour doing something with Wright stuff? Wow, hope God listen to you. It would be great.

On the list: Marooned. But "High hopes" was the best Floyd song since "Shine on you crazy diamond". ------------- Future prosperity lies in the way you heal the world with love (Introitus - The hand that feeds you) |

Along with most people here, I love "High Hopes," but from the ones given, I chose "Sorrow"

Marooned is by far the best Pink Floyd has made after Roger left. I'm really not much of a fan of The Division Bell, but that piece is brilliant. -------------

Close call between Marooned and Cluster One. Both excellent.
Marooned wins in the end though. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
