Favorite Pink Floyd song

[Brian The Pink Shark]

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.

i did actually have a favorite pair of underwear but eventually they got too small

What is wrong with Sevaral Species? Nobody seems to like Ummagumma, or Obscured By Clouds, but I think they're great.

[Resha]

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".

[Yamaneko]

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

The studio album had one half of one side of vinyl that each member composed and performed entirely by themselves. Thats's why it isn't as good. Waters and Gilmour needed each other, especially during the early years.

[theundeadhero]

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.

[Mitch]

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.

[Yamaneko]

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.
