I voted for "Walking Along The Shoreline"; such a positive song on that album.

just love Sinead O'Connor's voice so it had to be one of the songs with her singing on it and Breakthrough is a funny mixture of positiveness and melancholy.

Broken China is a masterpiece. I can't choose only one song.

I have to second that. Im afraid I dont like the album, it sounds too forced to me and far too crisp.

and I agree too
when I heard the breaktrough version from the dvd of David Gilmour, I couldn't wait to buy broken china, but I was a little disappointed, I think it would've been better when Rick sung it.

Again someone who disagrees with me, cause I really love Sinead's voice.

Dudes Sinead's voice totally makes that song, the live version at meltdown is pathetic compared to the original studio version, my favorite part is when she signs the second chorus, with some weird double tracked vocals and inflections that give a lot of emotion to the otherwise dumb lyrics.

Now I'm going back to the future!

I don't dislike the Meltdown version. And it's fun that Rick sang Sinéad's part and David sang Rick's part (if I'm remembering well).

I find there to be little of merit in either her voice or the way she chooses to interpret the songs she is given. Aside from her novelty hit ('Nothing Compares To You'?) she seems to be a complete non-entity as far as I can tell. Her inclusion, for me, spoils what would otherwise be a quite listenable album.

I decided not to vote because I can't make up my mind between "Breakthrough", "Night Of The Thousand Furry Toys", "Along The Shoreline" and "Woman Of Custom".
