Favorite Pink Floyd song?
 

Its close for me between One Of These Days and Run Like Hell. Live , both songs are awesome. Back in the 90s when I used to run lightshows for rock bands, I used to listen to Floyd all the time during setup. Mostly the South Florida circuit. Brassys, Summers on the beach , and of course The Button South.

I am watching this dvd as I type.

Too many amazing songs to name, but some of my favorites include: Time, Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb, and Dogs.

Coincidentally, today I watched the 1986 The Wall Concert in Berlin. Simply Amazing!

Comfortably numb.

Its a shame egos got in the way of such extreme creativity.

Thats my fav too

money

its my cell phone ringtone

Roger Waters was Pink Floyd imo, without him they were never that good.

It depends upon the mood I am in - I love the Floyd...

"Echoes" has a special place in my heart, but since it's Sunday afternoon, I am listening to "Wish You Were Here":



So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war,
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

very few songs have been written and/or sung that can compare to this piece. One of my absolute favorite songs, not just the music, but the words, and the meaning behind the song to Syd Barrett. masterpiece.

Pigs is just amazing.

Toss up between "Us and Them", and "Wish you were here."

Hey You
Comfortably Numb
Wish You Were Here
Another Brick, part 3

too many great ones to pick from

Hey you.

1 song?...that's a tough one! the entire Animals album rules!

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/albu...8059bc/978.jpg

Roger Waters is king!

i would agree the complete animals cd

other than that.. shine on you crazy diamond ...

fuck, they all rock :) best studio band ever in my opinion,

best live band ever?? phish

There are too many to list but it would probably be one of the following: Time, Comfortably numb, Run Like Hell, or Money.

The following entire albums are all amazing:
Dark Side Of The Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall

Other great songs:
Echoes
One Of These Days
Sorrow

So many but I'll say Mother.

Wish You Were Here.....

So many to choose from.
I love Wish You Were Here and Time, but there is not a bad song Dark Side of The Moon or The Wall and I love The Final Cut.

I saw Roger Waters in concert a few years ago and it was one of the best shows I have seen.

...and now, Part 2 (great guitar solo):

careful with that axe, Eugene :2 cents:

Good answers here, ive just always loved to POWER of One Of The Days. That deep bass intro.

agree, and I also love Bricks in the wall.

too many to say, I thought Roger Waters was the main man but theres an excellent version of of the rest of the band playing One of These Days at Venice on youtube, here if you cant find it http://sukiho.com/wordpress/pink-floyd-days/

So many great songs..... I love Pink Floyd !!

Time and dogs are my faves..but there are so many. I love their earliest stuff with Syd Barrett...he was a freak

Careful with that axe Eugene. Loooong and progressive.. just what i like!

I love most of their songs.

Money is one of my fav

So many...I love anything on Animals. "Dogs" gives me chills.

that's a really tough questions. They just have so many amazing songs that it's impossible to select the favorite one!
I like comfortably numb a lot, but so do I wish you were here, hey you, another brick in the wall, shine on your crazy diamond, and so on!

The Gunners Dream.

It's in my will to be the last song played as I'm put to rest.

I'm not a huge Pink Floyd fan, but oddly enough I've been really digging "Time". In fact, it's playing right now.

I have to say the Live version of Echoes at Pompeii is great. Time is a favorite of Mine as well as Brain damage/Eclipse, Have a Cigar is really close one too.

"Young Lust" from THE WALL - I need a dirty woman!

love comfortably numb :)

wish you were here :)

The little nomb

Or the whole devision bell cd

The wall = shit imo - so much better albums/songs

Oh man, so many great works they put out..

One of my personal favorites is

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict



OMG the things I saw and heard on a long strange trip with this song, lol :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Pandora JUST started playing Pigs....

I personally like Echoes BUT most of the Wall and Animals I do love. Not possible to pick just one imo

So many:

Welcome to the Machine
Pigs on the Wing
Dogs
Time

Fearless really got me into open tunings when i was learning to play so it has a special place for me:
