    Posted: February 21 2020 at 12:48
I don't want to Meddle and steal Thief's Delicate Sound of Thunder, but in A Momentary Lapse of Reason, I've put together this one-off poll (inspired by Thief) in The Endless River of polls to determine the Top 5 songs of all time by Pink Floyd. Simply list your Top 5 Pink Floyd songs in order of preference and then I'll assign points to your listings as follows:-
 
1st song - 6 points
2nd song - 4 points
3rd song - 3 points
4th song - 2 points
5th song - 1 point
 
When all of the votes have come in and The Division Bell has finally tolled,  I'll total up the points and post a list on The Wall showing The Final Cut of the Top 5 favourite Pink Floyd Relics of all time. Smile
 
Here are my Top 5 Pink Floyd songs to kick-off with:-
 
1. Echoes (6 points)
2. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (4 points)
3. Atom Heart Mother (3 points)
4. Us and Them (2 points)
5. Comfortably Numb (1 point) 
 
If this poll vote proves to be popular, I'll be posting Top 5 song polls for many More major prog bands too, although who those bands might be are Obscured by Clouds like A Saucerful of Secrets on the Dark Side of the Moon at the moment. Smile
 
A special message to any Pink Floyd fans who may have missed out on this poll:- Wish You Were Here! Smile

1. Echoes
2. Dogs
3. Careful With That Axe, Eugene (from Relics)
4. Sheep
5. Comfortably Numb
 
The first three are definite, whereas the next two are tentative, with a few tracks that could go in these positions.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Echoes has got off to a reverberating start already with 12 points from two #1 votes. Smile

I think Echoes will win. But Dogs, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and Atom Heart Mother will also perform strongly.

Tomorrow, you might have come up with a list that included Echoes. Smile I love all of those songs in your list, even though they're not in my Top 5.

well, just 5 songs is kinda hard, especially with PF releasing a lot of great albums.
Echoes would be such an obvious choice, it's gonna be in everyone's list. Deservingly for sure. Big smile

I found it hard to narrow down my choice to just five favourite Pink Floyd songs too, but I think if I'd made the list of choices any longer - like a Top 10 for instance - it would have made it really hard to decide which order to put the songs in. Smile

At the moment Echoes has a comfortably numb lead with 26 points, but that could all change. Smile

Echoes
Us and Them
Dogs
Astronomy Domine (Ummagumma version)
Main Theme (More)

Echoes is best, the other are pretty much on one level for me. Actually all of Ummagumma's live album would qualify, another honorable mention goes to Let There Be More Light.
