[Closed] Top Pink Floyd track?

The Great Gig In The Sky.

tend towards stuff like Echoes; Stay (Obscured by Clouds);

Money, or shine on if I'm in the mood.

Comfortably numb for me.

Comfortably numb.

Although I do like Another brick in the wall.

Comfortably numb.. Or maybe wish you where here.

Wish you were here

Money

'Sorrow' for me.

Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Or
Time
Or
One Of These Days
Or
...........

*Too many to choose from.

Fav depends on the mood, but love the piano in Us and Them.

The Great Gig In The Sky.

+1. Makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck. The lass singing was all improvised, I believe.

Great gig for me too.
If a day of reckoning comes and the mighty spaceman says "why should man be spared'', I would say ''we made music."
Then I would play them Great Gig and I reckon we would be alright.

I prefer the Division Bell, later stuff personally but that's probably because it was released in my teens.

I like time but my favourite is fearless.

High Hopes is another.

Wish you were here because I first heard it at a friends funeral. See Emily play for the earlier stuff.

Oooh - toughie...

Brain Damage is getting a lot of play recently.

Wish You Were Here, Hey You, Time, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Mother...

Depends on mood but really like this version of Mother.

wish you were here

The Great Gig In The Sky.

+1

or

Comfotably Numb

Watching them play that at Live 8 (only on the telly), just made me smile.

one of my turns

echos deserves a mention.

Comfortably numb off the live albums, eclipse/brain damage, shine on our wish you were here depends on hoa things are.

Time.
See Emily Play.
Wish You Were Here.

Had shine on you crazy diamond playing softly the whole way through the crematorium for my dad.
Love/hate the tune.. It was one of his favourites.
I love it, but still can't listen without crying.

Echoes is definitely one of the tops. Speaking as an old man I tend to go back to the early stuff and Astronomy Domine remains a firm favourite.

Animals for me, probably Sheep

Any Colour You Like

or the drums and sax at the end of Two Suns in the Sunset.

Fat Old Sun. Thread closed!!

is there anybody out there is probably my favourite (strange choice i know).

Dogs

I love this photo, they all look so baked!

Wish You Were Here
On The Turning Away

Depends on mood really.

Wish you were here ( for Syd)
Time ( makes me realise how much time I've (spent) wasted / enjoyed.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Exactly. Was just having a listen inspired by this thread.

Ouch.

Arnold Layne

Nobody Home.
More of a Waters solo effort really, but what a song.
Still want a pair of boots from Gohills.

My favourites...

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (especially the video version in the amphitheatre in Pompeii, iirc)

I also really like "When the Tigers Broke Free", it's just so haunting.

"Sorrow" is one of my favourites also, but I'd struggle to discount most of the others mentioned...

Division Bell - Poles Apart; A Great Day for Freedom; Take It Back; Coming Back to Life; Lost for Words and High Hopes.

I really like the piano piece at the start of High Hopes...for some reason it always makes me smile.

Actually that is almost the whole album!

The Wall - Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 1, The Happiest Days of Our Lives (I can imagine my old school head flying around the playing fields in a helicopter shouting at kids!); Pt. 2 (not as much as Pt. 1 though); Mother; Goodbye Blue Sky (the kid's voice and then the guitar!); Hey You; Is There Anybody Out There?; Comfortably Numb.

Not heard much of the other stuff, but I think I'll go have a Pink Floyd revival on my ride today!

is there anybody out there is probably my favourite (strange choice i know).

I get that. It's a lovely tiny little jewel of a song.

Also, Echoes

Freaky! Im still in bed and was singing time to myself before logging on to single track, then there was this thread!

I'm gonna get up, have a shower and go and ride bikes with the gf now, possibly to the pub.

Read "Inside Out" couple of years back - Nick Mason was still astounded that the BBC took "Arnold Lane" off the playlisting but kept "Walk On The Wildside" on it.

Glad Echoes is proving so popular and here's another vote for it. Also Shine on you Crazy Diamond and High Hopes

Hard One:
Comfortably Numb?
Keep Talking?
Wish You Were Here?
What Do You Want From Me?
Echoes?
A Great Gig in the Sky?
Learning To Fly?

Yeh, I can't choose any one track…

Favourite album is The Division Bell though.

Two suns in the sunset .....

Played Dead Loud when you're on your own .... (as with most Floyd!)

Bike, surely?

the one that has that bird screeching over it

the one that has that bird screeching over it

The Great Gig In The Sky has been mentioned numerous times already. 🙄

Not already mentioned

Young Lust

Run Like Hell

just just too may to choose from

Delicate Sound of Thunder live album. On the turning away, then Comfortably Numb when the glitter ball rises up and opens, stunning stuff. Think Dave Gilmour was at the height of his playing prowess back then.

Wish You Were Here is my favourite of all - reminds me of some very very difficult teenage years wishing my dad was...still wonder how my life would have panned out if he was there. Now I listen to it and enjoy other pink floyd songs with my son 🙂

I think you have the wrong forum.

Time +1

Sitting on top of the main lighting rig watching them perform Great Gig in the Sky at Nebworth whilst hitting 360's with a mallet as they overheated was incredible.
One of the only times Clare Torry sang it again.

Careful With That Axe Eugene

Cirrus Minor

Remember a Day

Time

Comfortably Numb etc..........

Astronomy Domine from Ummagumma
Summer 68
Lucifer Sam
One of these days...

So difficult to choose. I guess [i]Echoes[/i], along with [i]Shine On...[/i]
[i]Arnold Lane[/i] and [i]See Emily Play[/i] have long been favourites, but there's one track that popped up on 6Records a little while ago that I'd never heard before that I really fell for, from an album I'd never gotten around to listening to: [i]Summer '68[/i], from [i]Atom Heart Mother[/i].
