This has been on my things to do list for years, and given that we are in the football offseason figured it was time to give things a go. Like the other music ranking threads (like the one I did for Led Zeppelin), I will use a point system to tabulate the votes. People can rank up to 25 songs. Their top song will earn 25 points. Their #25 song will earn 1 point. To encourage people to participate, people don't have to create a list of 25 songs. If people only want to do as few as 10 songs, they can do that as well.
Wikipedia lists 218 songs recorded by the band, so we will use that as the options for people to pick from. DO NOT just post your list in this thread. Compile and organize your list and then send me a PM, and I will keep track of all the ballots. For now, there is no set timeline for people to get back to me by. At some point, I will get tired of waiting and set a cutoff date. The more people that participate, the more interesting the results should be (at least theoretically). Since some of their songs have numbers, please indicate which song you want at that point in your list (for example, ABITW1, ABITW2, ABITW3). Please send me a list with your favorite song listed first and your least favorite song last. It would also help if you numbered your selections . . . 1 - Comfortably Numb, 2 - Money, 3 - Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict, Etc.
I really hope that people can give me ONE LIST and not send me a half dozen updates because they forgot certain songs or wanted to reorder them. That got overbearing last time around. If there is a specific version that you like more than others, let me know what that is (ie a specific live performance . . . as long as it is a PF song, you can pick a solo performance as your fave).
While people are busy submitting their lists, people can feel free to share stories of their misspent days of youth listening to the band and tripping, shows they went to, experiences they had involving all things Floyd, etc. Once all ballots are locked, I will start a new thread with a countdown of the songs. Have at it.
