1. Wish You Were Here vs. Bohemian Rhapsody Queen - tough matchup.
2. Money vs.Don't Stop Me Now Queen
3. Another Brick in the Wall (part 2) vs.Another One Bites the Dust Queen - overwrought vs simple elegance
4. Comfortably Numb vs.Under Pressure Queen - another good matchup!
5. Time vs.You're My Best Friend Queen - don't terribly like either, but Time... bleh.
6. See Emily Play vs.Somebody to Love Queen - this is getting ugly for the Floyds
7. Echoes vs.Fat Bottomed Girls Queen
8. Astronomy Domine vs.Killer Queen Queen
9. Welcome to the Machine vs.Keep Yourself Alive Queen
10. Breathe vs.We Will Rock You/We are the Champions Queen

Wow. I actually surprised myself there. I just can't get into Floyd; they just don't do anything for me -- most of their stuff is too overwrought without really getting interesting -- and the few songs I like either ran up into Queen juggernauts or missed the list entirely. Sorry, Floyd. This is a sweep for Queen.

I keep cycling out at least 1 song every time, I think, at least since they got sandbagged by the Stones.

What was '39, was then Death on 2 Legs, is now Killer Queen...

2. Money vs.Don't Stop Me Now
--Floyd.

3. Another Brick in the Wall (part 2) vs.Another One Bites the Dust
-- Cool how this worked out. Tie.

Confessed prejudice: I applaud Floyd's accomplishments, but they never lit my lantern.

"Wish You Were Here" vs. "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Floyd

"Money" vs. "Don't Stop Me Now"
Queen

"Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" vs. "Another One Bites the Dust"
Good matchup. Tie

"Comfortably Numb" vs. "Under Pressure"
Queen

"Time" vs. "You're My Best Friend"
Queen

"See Emily Play" vs. "Somebody to Love"
Queen

"Echoes" vs. "Fat Bottomed Girls
Tie

"Astronomy Domine" vs. "Killer Queen"
Tie

"Welcome to the Machine" vs. "Keep Yourself Alive"
Queen

"Breathe" vs. "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions"
Queen

Floyd only gets one outright win and Regina wins 7.5-2.5

9-1 QUEEN. The sad thing is that I'm not a big Queen at all - Oops I meant 'Queen fan' - but I just really don't dig Floyd.

I grew up listening to Floyd. Queen was a side note.

"Wish You Were Here" vs. "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Floyd. This song is why I taught myself to play guitar in high school. Well, that and the chicks. No contest for me.

"Money" vs. "Don't Stop Me Now"
This is a good matchup, but Floyd.

"Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" vs. "Another One Bites the Dust"
Floyd. Man, this song is so good.

"Comfortably Numb" vs. "Under Pressure"
Floyd. "But I felt like I COULD have written it, so it's just the same as if I HAD written it."

"Time" vs. "You're My Best Friend"
Floyd.

"See Emily Play" vs. "Somebody to Love"
One of Floyd's minor works versus the filet minon of Queen. Queen.

"Echoes" vs. "Fat Bottomed Girls
Floyd

"Astronomy Domine" vs. "Killer Queen"
Queen.

"Welcome to the Machine" vs. "Keep Yourself Alive"
Floyd.

"Breathe" vs. "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions"
Floyd. WWRY still reminds me of MFY fans from high school.

No Shine On You Crazy Diamond, huh? That would've taken Killer Queen or Somebody to Love for me.

Anyway, Floyd in a landslide. 8-2

Never a huge fan of either, but both had their moments:

1. Wish You Were Here vs. Bohemian Rhapsody
QUEEN -- Tough matchup

2. Money vs.Don't Stop Me Now
QUEEN -- never much like 'Money' .. I mean like the song

3. Another Brick in the Wall (part 2) vs.Another One Bites the Dust
PINK -- if I didn't vote for this I wouldn't get any pudding

4. Comfortably Numb vs.Under Pressure
PINK -- The best of Pink's "spacey" tunes

5. Time vs.You're My Best Friend
PINK -- close call, I could probably go either way

6. See Emily Play vs.Somebody to Love
QUEEN -- I like SEP, an early Pink tune w/a Moody Blue-ish feel to it ... but not enough

7. Echoes vs.Fat Bottomed Girls
QUEEN

8. Astronomy Domine vs.Killer Queen
QUEEN

9. Welcome to the Machine vs.Keep Yourself Alive
QUEEN

10. Breathe vs.We Will Rock You/We are the Champions
QUEEN

Good turnout of voters here:

"Wish You Were Here" 8, "Bohemian Rhapsody" 8
"Money" 7 "Don't Stop Me Now" 9
"Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" 9.5. "Another One Bites the Dust" 6.5
"Comfortably Numb" 7.5. "Under Pressure" 8.5
"Time" 5.5 "You're My Best Friend" 10.5
"See Emily Play" 4 "Somebody to Love" 12
"Echoes" 7.5 "Fat Bottomed Girls 8.5
"Astronomy Domine" 4.5 "Killer Queen" 11.5
"Welcome to the Machine" 11 "Keep Yourself Alive" 5
"Breathe" 2.5 "We Will Rock You/We are the Champions"13.5

Total: Pink Floyd 67:93 Queen

Queen handily defends their position. Now they can catch a breath and prepare for their next challenge from Prince & the Revolution.

But Prince is blocked by GNR and so Queen is safe from his purpleness.
