The world countdown ends tomorrow.I haven't really been paying attention . . . what other music threads are we waiting to finish up and how close are they to being done? Are there multiple music threads that we are waiting on?
There's a board member that goes by Igor Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale?I would hope that someone who picked a username based on a Roger Waters album would make submitting a list a priority.

Greeting fellow Led Zeppelin song rankers. We are doing the same thing again, this time for Pink Floyd. Same deal as before. Compile a list of your 25 Floyd faves and PM them to me. Deadline to get me the list is 5/1.
Probably a challenge to rank individual songs as they seem like the quintessential album oriented rock band where the sum is more than the parts or whatever.
Very under-rated album. I prefer it to any of the non-Waters Floyd albums.Roger Waters album
I think Murder, Love on the Air and Blue Light are top notch songs. But I can see his point about the production. I prefer the self-titled album and On an Island.What are people's thoughts on DG's solo album About Face? Apparently, Gilmour has never really been a fan. He doesn't love it, for some reason, and has commented it's dated and is too 80's pop sounding. Of his solo work (or PF work without RW), that's my favorite studio album of his (I like his live stuff with classic Floyd songs more). He played all the songs from About Face on his 1984 tour and then they all mostly got shelved. He hasn't played them in 30-40 years.
Agreed - I'm fully on Team Gilmour, but I like Roger's solo work much more overall.I think Murder, Love on the Air and Blue Light are top notch songs. But I can see his point about the production.

Not familiar with them. I do see that Aussie Floyd is touring this summer/fall also playing DSOTM in its entirely.Anyone ever heard the group The Gilmour Project? I never have but they are playing DSOTM at The Fillmore in Detroit in late May. Wondering if it’s worth getting tickets.
Sounds like the band members have a very solid and long history playing in other classic bands like CSN, the Tubes and the Dead

The solo catalog bit is a bit of a reach. They play all Floyd songs and once in a while toss in There's No Way Out of Here. I don't believe they've ever played another one of his solo songs. They also on occasion throw in a cover of a song from a band one of the band members has been in.That's a heck of a lineup:SOYCDAnyone ever heard the group The Gilmour Project?

Acclaimed musicians Jeff Pevar (guitar with CSN, CPR w/ David Crosby, Phil Lesh & Friends, Ray Charles, etc); Prairie Prince (co founder of The Tubes, & drums with Todd Rundgren, Jefferson Starship, Phil Lesh); Kasim Sulton (bass with Utopia, Meatloaf & Blue Oyster Cult): Mark Karan (guitar with Bob Weir/Ratdog, The Other Ones, Phil Lesh) & Scott Guberman (keyboards with Phil Lesh) - come together for this heavy, psychedelic lift of audacious & beloved ‘Gilmour-centric’ Pink Floyd songs & rarities from David’s solo catalogue.
Agree on Brit, which morphed from the original Aussie. Haven't seen either in many years, but I remember Brit indeed being spot on.I have seen Brit Floyd and Australian Floyd and both are excellent but I prefer Brit. They are spot on flawless.
One person listed a couple of songs that weren't even Zeppelin songs.
C'mon peeps. Under a week to go until the list submittal deadline. Where are all your lists?

In case you or others missed it, a deadline for list submittal was set for 5/1.Things are slow in developing so far. Only 9 lists submitted. Already up to 65 different songs. Only 3 songs appeared on every list. SPOILER ALERT: Candy And A Currant Bun IS NOT one of the three.
Unless I missed it, there is no established deadline. That would definitely be a forcing function for me, otherwise I will take my time, in part due to life obligations and in part because it is not easy to finalize my list.

Sorry, didn't realize it was you in both cases. Was just going through the thread and replied that a deadline had since been added. Didn't even look to see who it was.In case you or others missed it, a deadline for list submittal was set for 5/1.Things are slow in developing so far. Only 9 lists submitted.
