Excuse me, "Which", but the thread is "Worst song from this era". The Forum is "Us & Them--1987 until now." My assertion is that Roger is either "Us" or "Them". Therefore, I think there is some bias in the choice of nominees for worst song----they're all Dave Gilmours. That's my main point....OK?
Also, you're overstating my point about reuse of background effects...I don't believe it makes a song "bad"; It doesn't make any difference to me. I know it's done more than once in the Floyd catalog.. Again, I just sense a double standard here.
I'm also not aware of what guitar riff Dave rehashed. But since most songs done with guitar are in like E, A or G there is going to be some duplication of tones, chord progressions and note sequences. So I disagree with you on that one, I think it would be easier to collect sound effects.
Finally, I DO like ATD as a whole. It's sum is far greater than its parts. While it has some good melodies, Becks guitar parts are scattered...almost like an afterthought. After all, we can't have a lowly guitar player upstaging the sacred lyrics. Songs like "Perfect Sense I", or "Late Home Tonight I " or "What God Wants II" would seem lame standing on their own out of context. Therefore, I think they should be included in the Poll.
