Best Pink Floyd Song

[passedpawn]

Well, I'm listening to music and thought I'd lay down my first track in the DRAMM thread here....

Echoes, by far. Then possibly Learning to Fly off of the Momentary Lapse of Reason LP. That whole album is fantastic.

Finally, but probably not last, is the Clare Torry vocal on Great Gig in the Sky off DSOTM. Man, that that chick had lungs.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond is my favorite. I listen to Floyd whenever it is dark and I'm driving a nice long distance and I can really drift away in it.

Echoes is a favorite, along with Fearless.

Shine sends chills it's so beautiful!

Why does there have to be a best?

They did a lotta great stuff.

 

[machinelf]

All great choices so far! Hard to isolate their songs... they made ALBUMS. That said, I'll choose a few: Julia Dream, Embryo, and Us and Them.

 

[passedpawn]

OK, everything is best but Sheep.

 

[dunnright00]

Oh man, I forgot all about the Animals album. Dogs. Dogs is the best song they ever made.

 

[Doc Robinson]

Three Cats on the Fence

 

[MBasile]

I LOVE playing Echoes on the bass, just have to skip the first few minutes

In college, this was a fav. when the mood was right.

This thread had to be where I put my first post>

The Gold It's In The....

from Obscured By Clouds. Actually Obscured By Clouds from start to finish is one of the finest musical works ever.

 

[TheManes]

Pink Floyd is all about the album. Animals.

This is probably the most impossible question to answer that I have seen on this forum.

Hey twin-b, welcome to HBT!

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

Oh yes. These are some of my favourite PF tracks.

This is like answering "what is your favorite beer?". Depends on my mood, the weather, my age, and my level of intoxication. I think humidity is a factor as well.

Oh- you have never really heard Pink until you listen to the vinyl on quadraphonic headphones.

 

[Hugh_Jass]

Oh yes. These are some of my favourite PF tracks.

AWSOME!, Trev. Quite AWSOME!:rockin:

I knew you were there all along... I could hear you breathing...

Oh yea, Breathe is in the top 10. Definitely.

Echoes.

They recently won a lawsuit against EMI, contenting that selling individual tracks from an album was not kosher. They believe that an album should be listened to as a whole.

See Emily Play? Any Syd fans out there...?

 

[arturo7]

Somewhat OT:


Has anyone heard Easy Dub All-Stars' cover of DSM?

wow.... was actually listening to opal on my way home from work, havent played it in years.... spooky

Listening to a bootleg of an August 1980 performance of The Wall as I came across this thread... I'm hard pressed to pick one favorite, but Comfortably Numb is, I think, my all-time favorite song, period.

 

[jmo88]

Well according to a recent ruling in the UK, it's not about the pink Floyd song, it's about the album. Pink Floyd won a battle against EMI which preserves the artistic integrity of their albums, thus not allowing sales of individual songs. So for the sake of the ruling, I'm going with Obscured by Clouds.

Considering the above, we shouldn't be having this discussion.

 

[ChshreCat]

The best Floyd song is the one that's currently playing at any given time. That's as far as I'd be able to narrow it down.

 

[Splangy]

The album: A Saucerful of Secrets

I love that album... But honestly, Pink Floyd has so many great songs it's hard to narrow it down to just one...

Les Claypool did a cover of some, if not all, of Animals several years ago. I highly recommend it if you can find it.

That being said, my favorite all-time Floyd song is Mother for some strange reason.

I think his band was named flying frog brigade, and it was really good
