Freebird is by Lynyrd Skynyrd. If a mod would be nice enough to change it.....

I voted for London Calling, but if I'd been given the option I would have voted for either David Bowie - Starman or Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK.

London Calling is a bit iffy, since it was released in VERY late 1979. Still, I suppose it just meets the deadline.

ARGH!! i can't choose...you can't make me choose between my two favourite albums...... :headbang:

Pink Floyd or Pink Floyd??

Can i vote twice? Either way PF wins...

*ahem* that is, if they get enough votes...

obviously.......

Now, VOTEVOTEVOTE for wywh....i chose that because i want it (or echoes) to win.......and it had the higher votes of the two PF albums, so that would be the logical option if i want either of them to win...now, if you want them to win too, vote wywh....or echoes...either way vote PF!! If only they were running for government too...i'd be a great campaigner candidate...

No Comfortablty Numb? No Shine On You Crazy Diamond I-V?
I picked Echoes, but the two choices are in no way the best Pink Floyd songs, sorryy.

sorry to take over the thread, but just a few comments...
my dad would've gone for freebird in a flash...how can you not know LynrdSkynrd?? i guess i have to, my dad brought me up playing them a lot...
i'm surprised that nobody's voting for that or SLF...if only Dale were here...
actually, no.

I'm surprised to see London Calling in the lead: I love the Clash and its a great song [and an even better album]. I won't be heartbroken if it wins of course, but I voted for Won't Get Fooled Again because its a wonderful political commentary. Much better than that goddamn Pink Floyd tune that I hear every time I'm in the car.

If its an issue of preference, I can't really tell you who to side with, but Pete Townshend was the superior songwriter/innovator and the Who had a much greater level of aggrigate talent. Don't get me wrong, I love the Clash. But I don't even think London Calling is even the best cut on that album.

Ah yes, but it was first played live in July '79.

What he said...

...but then I think Sandinista! is their finest album, so what do I know?
