Here's how this will work: First people vote for a song that will start a compilation (Part 1), then in Part 2 we vote for songs to end the compilation, and in Part 3 we'll vote for songs to fill in the middle and also decide on the order. This will be a single-CD compilation, so no more than 80 minutes of music can go onto it. This isn't going anywhere in particular, it's just another thing like that "Best Pink Floyd songs" one. I may or may not actually make the compilation, but it'll be fun just to get the track listing.

In Part 1, Round 1, everyone please put the song you think should start the compilation. At the end of the round, I'll count up the votes and put the top 10 (or, if there is a narrower range, top 5) into a poll and we can vote them off to get the starting track.

We will treat SOYCD I-V and SOYCD VI-IX as separate tracks (same with Pigs On The Wing and all other multi-part songs - one track on the CD = one track here), so if, for example, you think SOYCD I-IX should start the compilation, vote for SOYCD I-V now and then in Part 3 vote for SOYCD VI-IX to be Track 2.

My vote goes to: One Of These Days

Chronological is the way the way to go here. So my vote goes to Astronomy Domine.

i agree with Astronomy Domine

I think he re-gifted and then he de-gifted and now he's using an upstairs invite as a springboard to a Super Bowl sex romp!

I think "Is There Anybody Out There?" should be the opener.

The question should not be what comes first chronologically, it should be what song is the most effective opener. Besides, if we want to get downright chronological surely the first song should be See Emily Play.

Therefore, I vote for Main Theme.

If it ain't dirty, don't clean it.

Actually Arnold Layne came before either. But as we are restricted to 80 minutes, and everybody will want to include a long 'un, it may be best to stick to album tracks.
