Scheherazade. I'm not much into Pink Floyd though so that skews it.

Scheherazade is a great album, with some wonderful music and some other just good songs. But WYWH is perhaps my very favourite album of all, so that's it. Returning to Scheherazade, one of my main problems with that album is that the title song is wonderful for the first half, but the second mostly instrumental/orchestral half kind of looses me, it doesn't flow so nicely for me, and the music isn't as great either (except for the very final part where the song structure return).

Scheherezade for me. It's an absolutely enchanting album.

Didn't assume anything; just said I found this poll tough just like you whereas it shouldn't be for a Floydian.  Say it was DSOTM v/s Scheherazade, that would be an easy vote.

Yeah...well, here's another Floydian who doesn't quite dig WYWH that much.  But still enough to vote it over Scheherazade.

I haven't voted yet. You assumed wrongly
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
