Watching TV - C'mon folks, it's got Don Henley on it. What's not to like?

Always fancied part 3 of WGW. Brilliant build up to that incredible Beck guitar solo(chill inducing!).......the telephone gag at the end is quite humorous too....

Yeah, we know.
"Watching TV" was one of the tracks that instantly latched on to me. I love the "shoe factory called Taiwan" line so much that I use it in eveyday conversation occassionally when putting down Wal~mart. I put the track on more than a few mix tapes back then but Beck's work is just so glorious on his tracks as well. I simply do not favor one track over the other easily.

Very difficult to choose. I contemplated Ballad of Bill Hubbard, Amused to Death and WGW pt. 2--however I went with my gut and voted for Watching T.V

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tough, but I voted for What God Wants (Pt. I). I just love Roger's lyrics and Jeff Beck's guitar. It kills me every time I hear it.

Amused to Death hands down. I just love this song and in my oppinion it is one of the best songs Roger has ever writen by himself including his many Floyd songs. It is one of the few songs that he has wrote by himself that i feel he gets the perfect balence between music and lyrics. The concept of the song also happens to be one of his best and i agree totaly with what he says in that song and inded the whole album.

Boy I would like to break that tie between "What God Wants Part 1" and "Watching TV" but choosing Jeff Beck's guitar over the lyrics and backing vocals of Henley are but two parts of the album that are so great in my opinion.
Still cannot vote.
