I only put the albums with good introductions. it was tough for me, either WYWH which is the classic 7 minute intro or The Wall's intro which is grand, majestic, yet tragic at the same time. I'm probably gonna go with WYWH, although they all introduce their respective albums very well. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

| The Wall, for some personal reasons amongst others, not the less relevant ones... |

WYWH definitely. Dark Side could also work as an intro.

In The Flesh? works great, especially for the film.

| Surely "Wish You Were Here". Slow intros fading in from the silence are truly a trademark of the post-psychedelic days of this group. |

How can you just ignore "Signs of Life" from A Momentary Lapse of Reason and then have "Cluster One" and frekin' "Pigs on the wing" in the poll? ------------- Bigger on the inside. |

| I'll have to go with the flow and vote for the utterly majestic intro to WYWH. That said, I have a weakness for the PF-go-hard-rock wallop that is "In the Flesh?". |

| i love both In The Flesh and Wish You Were Here intro, but for my money it doesn't get better than the truly majestic and epic begining of Atom Heart Mother; in fact the whole song is pure genius |

| Shine On You Crazy Diamond is quite possibly PFs best work. |

Dark Side Of The Moon,along with Wish You Were Here.These are twin albums that ought to be made on a single C90 when they first were released.Their attraction is never off Yasir ------------- Yasir |

| Its got to be WYWH, but I love the intro to DSOTM as well. On Animals, my personal favourite Floyd album, the intro to Dogs is great but it's preceeded by "Pigs on the Wing" which is rather dour. |

Definately Wish You Were Here... absolutely amazing! ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can |

'Wish you were here' without a doubt. The intro to 'Shine on..' is incredible. Simple, yet superbly atmospheric. I'll never forget experiencing that live. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Cluster one always was a personal favorite...the "dialogue" between the piano and the wailing guitar is very moving in my opinion. But very very very close second is WYWH with Rick Wright's career highlight in SOYCD. Honorable mentions to Meddle and The Wall! ------------- Once a man like the Sea I raged, once a woman like the Earth I gave...but there is in fact more earth than sea... |

I must say, even though the intro from Wish you where here is awesome...thouse heart beats from The dark side of the moon surprised me so much the first time I listen to them, so TDSOTM it is

| Animals starts out very seemingly inoccent and lovable, but jumps into DOGS. Love it. |

| I'm liking Meddle right now so I'll go for that. Who wouldn't be fascinated by those opening moments of One of These Days? Plus, it's the most exciting bass work they can ever expect to hear from Waters. But beyond all that it vies with Animals as the best Floyd work all around. My humble opinion. |

| That was really tough, as part 1 of Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of my all time favorite intros, but in terms of introducing an album, Dark Side of the Moon's Speak to Me is probably better. I gave the vote to Wish You Were Here, though. |
