That was ranked 79, so it didn't make the cut

FYI - You've got Purple Haze on there twice.

Crap, one of them is supposed to be "While my guitar Gently Weeps" but I can't edit it now. They both will probably get knocked out next round anyways

Meh. Freebird is beating Comfortably Numb which basically nullifies this whole vote anyway. So no problem.

Are these as done or not as done by The Chipmunks?

Dude. Why did you have to go and pee in my cheerios like that?

Ok. I was kind of drunk and did a cursory glance, but one of the matchups kind of threw me off, although now I can't remember which.

Game on.

White Room should be higher.

I know I'm alone in this, but I've always thought that Pink Floyd- Time is not only the best Floyd song, but the best song of all time. I really think it's underappreciated. Lyrics mean a lot to me though.

Gerat song, but not the best on Dark Side of The Moon.

Us and Them is my favorite Floyd song.

Time is possibly the greatest song to listen to as your acid kicks in though.

Any list that doesn't include The Cars' "Just What I Needed" is lame.

That is all.

Actually, you could prolly just get away w/doing it Stairway v Satisfaction(or maybe JJFlash). Not my fave songs by the two bands, but hey, I liked RC cola more than Coke & Pepsi, and you saw what happened there. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

No it is not the best song ever, but it is probably my first or second favorite Floyd song.

Money is by far a better song. Their best, however, is Wish You Were Here.
