It's a hard one. I'm mainly Floydian but Sheherazade is a great album, too. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

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

| 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. |

Scheherezade for me. It's an absolutely enchanting album. WYWH has some very good stuff on it (Welcome to the Machine is awesome), but Shine on you Crazy Diamond and Have a Cigar have somewhat lost their initial appeal for me. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| 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). |

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

No real surprise that Floyd is beating Ren on this one, but I can't even listen to Floyd often anymore. For listening pleasure and pure relaxation I'd put on Scheherazade any day before WYWH. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |
