Our friends over at Floydstuff.com recently ran their second annual poll of Pink Floyd related items - your chance to vote for your favourite (and least favourite) things of 2005, whilst standing a chance of winning a nice prize.

The results were announced yesterday, and make for interesting reading, not just because many of you were kind enough to vote for Brain Damage as your favourite Floyd website.

We came a very decisive first, with 78.3% of the votes, with our sister site, A Fleeting Glimpse coming in second place! Our thanks to all of you who voted!

The full results of the poll, which can be found here give a good idea of what you liked and didn't like last year, and your hopes for this year.

Your favourite Floyd related event of 2005 was clearly Live 8, with only 0.3% of people NOT voting for this! The lack of PULSE DVD in 2005 was the biggest gripe, with 46.9% showing their feelings, and 25.6% disappointed that no Pink Floyd reunion tour was announced.

Turning to releases, the Live 8 DVD was the favourite of many (38.9%), with the Ca Ira CD/DVD set close behind (23.3%) and Nick Mason's Inside Out book in third place (19.2%). The audiobook version of Inside Out also figured, reaching fifth place.

Looking to the future, it is clear what most are wishing for, with a Pink Floyd reunion tour (52.5%) and album (12.3%) heading the list, closely followed by the heavily anticipated David Gilmour concerts in March - May this year (10.1%). One wonders how many of the top ten wishes for 2006 will come true by the end of the year!
