I thought for sure someone would confuse Seamus with Mademoiselle Nobbs and tell me it was a female dog.

Well, with a name like Mademoiselle (K)nobs, there has to be some confusion.

And what's that IN you used in the list (like "Ummagumma (studio side only) 1-In") ?
Did you just take bong seriously? 5/5.

I'd be more than happy to see what the results are for lead singing on a minute by minute basis, or second by second.

Your are more than welcome to undertake that task yourself. This is not the R.PITI of PinkFloyd.com/PinkFan.com :lol:

This IS, however, the mosespa of pinkfloyd.com/pinkfan...and I hereby state as fact that those listings would NOT change on a minute by minute nor second by second basis. :lol:

By popular request, I present yet another list that objectively answers an oft-debated question:
You've missed out three PF albums. Particularly the two albums after Roger left. This is a classic case of "how to lie with statistics".

Nobody would deny that Rog wrote more PF songs than any other single member. But this attempt to exaggerate that is just silly.

Not really lying with statistics. What he's showing is that in the entire time that both Dave and Roger were in the band Roger wrote considerably more songs. The only thing that can be considered underhanded is that The Wall adds 26 of them

Yeah...but even considering AMLOR and TDB, Roger STILL wrote more songs than Gilmour. :lol:
