Oi, Sent, how does your version begin? I've only got the one that starts with the organ. I want the version that begins with a synthesizer. Or I think it's a synthesizer.

Do you mean this version for the synth strings? In which case, that's the live version from the End of an Era DVD/CD. The album version opens with the organ riff.

I almost always buy albums rather than individual tracks, but I listen to a mixture of the entire list shuffled or whole albums. Depends on my mood.

Hmm. Weird. The one I was thinking of isn't a live version, and Marco doesn't sing as the Phantom. I've read somewhere that it was Nightwish with another band that recorded it, but I'm not too sure.

Plus, there's some stringed instrument playing, and then the organs come in.

Hmm. I certainly don't know of a version like that, but it's plausible - they've collaborated with Tony Kakko of Sonata Arctica for some songs before.
Alternatively, it's just not Nightwish and it's a mislabelled song. =p

Good call.

New album yay!

Another Brick in the Wall (Pt. 1) - Pink Floyd (The Wall)

What do Pink Floyd and Princess Diana have in common?
Their last big hit was the The Wall.

That's not even true. The Division Bell charted better than The Wall, and outsold it pretty much everywhere other than America. Not to mention it being an infinitely superior album, The Wall being spectacularly awful.

THE GRASS WAS GREENER
THE LIGHT WAS BRIGHTER
WITH FRIENDS SURROUNDED
THE NIGHTS OF WONDER

Ever since I borrowed the Division Bell, I've become obsessed with High Hopes.

High Hopes is an awesome song, and one of Pink Floyd's best. (Also, the live cover by Nightwish is pretty cool.)
In my opinion, The Division Bell is Floyd's second best album, after Wish You Were Here, and closely followed by Dark Side of the Moon. Plus, it was named by Douglas Adams.
