Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: More, round 3 (Sep 2-3)
Yes, corrected. Wrote alone.
However, in my book it doesn't hold well against concept/production/musicianship masterpieces such as their '73-'77 releases.

Hard to argue that though I've explained earlier that I am not so "over the moon" by the whole Darkside... album.
But for me that album actually could turn into a "grower".
Still, this is about separate songs, so who knows what might happen with one of the Ummagumma tracks.

Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: More, round 3 (Sep 2-3)
When i rethink my previous post...
DSOTM is really one big piece of music. It'll be really hard to value it song by song. For instance "Speak To Me" is really an intro to "Breathe". You get my drift.
What i don't like about DSOTM is dynamics of the compositions (not in the production area, in songwriting area). It seems to drift in a mid-tempo domain all the way. On The Run and first/last parts of Money instrumental part are only times that i can think of right now, that the record goes into higher gear.
I have only one remark about WYWH, and that's the title track. Wonderful, classic ballad, one of the best out there, but it just feels out of place. With psychedelic masterpiece intro track, synth-heavy industrial Welcome To The Machine, heavy blues rocker Have A Cigar, and very diverse outro track, WYWH just doesn't fit in. They tried to "glue" it to the rest of the album by common sounds with both bordering songs (eg. the people speaking, AM radio on the beginning, and the wind on the end)...just doesn't work for me.
With Animals, i have no issues. IMHO it's the best rock album ever made. Prog rock at it's best, lyrics are just...wow, the concept is relevant today as ever.
If anyone is interested, i have a lossless rip from gold vinyl of Animals. The difference in sound against standard remastered CD you can buy today in shops is just astonishing. The whole thing gets a new dimension, it's way, way sharper.

Go to the top of the page and vote for your LEAST favorite songs!
Rules are in this post. Please read them if you don't know what's going on here.
Round 2.3 results:
Ibiza Bar is eliminated.
Again: Quicksilver, Overdrive, Flaming
As long as you guys mentioned Ummagumma: the solo songs are getting one slot apiece in the poll. So it won't be Sysyphus Part I, Sysyphus Part II etc ... there will just be one Sysyphus.
Back in the day, with the proper chemical stimulation, I used to enjoy Ummagumma immensely. I put it on last thing before bed and used it for crash-out music many times.

Flaming, Lucifer Sam, Matilda Mother
Nice that we have 6 (or more) regulars participating in this early stage...i predicted way less.
And i'm sure we'll have even more when their "classic" albums enter the game.

It's getting More difficult now. I will gladly play all songs another time before I vote.
I really like this survivor, probably my favourite of this "season".
The album More is turning into some personal favourite. The percussion/drums in it is pretty spacy and fits well to the music. I love Main Theme so this round I'll vote on some other songs to extend its life a bit.
Lucifer Sam, Crying Song, Quicksilver
While I was playing Lucifer Sam, I thought Kurt Cobain could have been influenced by it when writing Come As You Are. Stylewise there's really a similarity, when you check that tempo, rhythm and guitar.
