ok so what's everyone's favorite pink floyd song

Shine on You Crazy Diamond for me
Toss up between Sorrow and High Hopes.
Perhaps Money or Mother. :love:
Wish you were here is a very beautiful song, but picking your favorite is like picking your favorite pair of underwear. You just can't do it. I have a lot of Pink Floyd on Vinyl records and I love it.
The Wall.
time
I like ALL OF THEM! But if I had to play favorites....
Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of The Moon are my 2 favorites!
The unedited version of Echoes.
Time, mutah effah.
Closely behind include everything else by them that I've heard.
That is a stupid question. Anything on any album (except for The Final Cut, which is only half perfect) is all equally the best song ever written by anybody. One of These Days is quite good, too.
Wish You Were Here is a great song, but I just watched the Roger Waters DVD and that version kinda put me off.
Mother is bloody awesome on the live version of The Wall (as is the rest of the album)
But The Gnome is pure genius.
Us and Them, and Echoes.
Pink Floyd kind of pisses me off. Not because the music is all that bad, but beacuse most of the PF fans I've met have been total douchebags. Or pot heads. Or both. Usually both.
To answer your question, probably Brain Damage. Because I'm cool like that.
*sings* i have become comfortably numb
i also love the song "wish you were here", and "money
their album "dark side of the moon" is probably one of the greatest albums ever.
Vera. Or Nobody's home. Although I <3 almost anything that PF has done those two songs just Id unno I was actually talking about it earlier today with my coworker Dave. He thinks their albums get a little worse as they go on where as I like the newer albums then the older. But yeah I just love any pink song.
i did actually have a favorite pair of underwear but eventually they got too small :choc:Quote:

Were you expecting me to pick just one? :D
What is wrong with Sevaral Species? Nobody seems to like Ummagumma, or Obscured By Clouds, but I think they're great.
I looooove ->Us And Them and ->The Trial and ->Another Brick In The Wall I II III xD
As far as the names of songs themselves, it doesn't get much better than, :Careful with that axe, Eugene". :D
The Ummagumma live stuff is great. It's certainly one of the last progressions into psycedelia done by The Floyd. The studio set, though, is sort of weak and uninspired. A number of the pieces were composed by one member of the band or other, and not collectively.
Wish you were here
Hey you
Shine on you Crazy Diamond
It's difficult to choose, but...
i love the wall and dark side but my favorite song is Run Like Hell. :D
Great Gig in the Sky
Pigs,
Man, Pigs.
Aha, sherade you are

It's arguable that they always have needed each other to make great Pink Floyd songs. Even with the Wall, most of the better ones were from Gilmore under the pressure from Waters to do it the way he wanted.
Yeah Waters was a bit overdominant, but The Wall is still great because Gilmour still had a reasonable level of input, while The Final Cut is weaker because it was basically a Waters' solo album, and he is not as talented a musician is Gilmour.
Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking is good, maybe because of Clapton, but Waters was at his best when working with the rest of Floyd in my opinion.
Pros and Cons could've been The Wall. The idea was pitched in 1978 by Waters, but the band decided on The Wall.
I think the band has always been at their best when they've worked together, ie. WYWH and Animals.
From each "era" of Floyd...
1st - Interstellar Overdrive
2nd - Comfortably Numb
3rd - Keep Talking
:D
My favouirite is The Wall...I love that song! :love:
HEY! TEACHER! LEAVE THOSE KIDS ALONE!
Dude, you know your stuff! Hardly anyone I meet knows all this stuff. Bravo.Quote:

Radio KAOS is underrated.
The Final Cut isn't that bad. Sure it's a bit whiney, and the space rock glamour has all but disappeared, yet we're still left with a good album. I prefer it to AMLoR, which just feels uninspired and not unique at all. The Final Cut is indeed leftovers from The Wall. In fact, the album was going to be called Spare Bricks before Waters decided to add more material and call it The Final Cut. Ironically, "When the Tigers Broke Free" never did make it onto The Wall or the initial release of The Final Cut. :D
I've always enjoyed Amused to Death over Radio KAOS.
>>> I like "Learning to fly".. That one and "The Wall" are the only songs i`ve heard from Pink Floyd.
I thought Lapse was good, but far from their best, but it needed to happen for the Division Bell to happen.
More is also underrated I find, as is Obscured by Clouds.
Gotta go with "The Final Cut," as it has sentimental value to me. There are a number of songs vying for the #2 slot, though.
I believe Then Man and I agree for once in our lives :p. The Final Cut is as a whole my favorite Floyd album.
Wish you where here is a superb song, but me being a huge radiohead fan i love their version even more, confortably numb was quite a brilliant song, and then the scissor sisters made that bloody awful cover of it, so that has spoiled it for me.
leaves me between the epic shine on you crazy diamond and high hopes. but i'll have to go for shine on, just because it is over 17 minutes of sheer brilliance.
