Best Pink Floyd Song

[ChefRex]

Roger Waters is great. I was listening to his excellent album Amused to Death last week. This song and its lyrics caught my ear. Seems apropos when you consider certain political possibilities that we won't discuss in this thread. If you're a PF fan and haven't listened to this album (is that possible ), give it a go.

Probably my favorite cut off that album, wasn't a commercially successful album but I thoroughly enjoy it.
Pros and cons is still my favorite solo,

I even have the nudie cover
Hopefully seeing Gilmore in April, my friend that I get tickets through is sketchy at times but what do you want for free

True confession: since it came out, I've started every single work day with Gilmore's Rattle That Lock. I follow that with Water's In The Flesh Live (both discs), then The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking, then Radio K.A.O.S, then The Flickering Flame, then PF's The Endless River. If I'm still working I'll run some Arcade Fire but inevitably will finish a long day with my epic PF playlist...

I'm clearly obsessed, but I like what I like, and besides, anything else I've heard on the radio in the last twenty years is crap...

Cheers!

I knew there was something I like about you

Just so it doesn't seem like the deepest rut in music history, the design work I do greatly benefits from me being in what I suppose is some form of trance state, and the PF boys have always gotten me there.

The down side is the house could be on fire and I'd likely just keeping humming along...

Cheers!

Liked, just for the album cover!

Seriously, though, I don't know why I've never investigated any of the solo albums from the PF guys. I may have to scrub the webs today and load up the phone...

SWMBO took me to see the Pink Floyd Laser spectacular for my exmas present. What a blast.

First half was DSotM from beginning to end, and was awesome. Second half was a random sampling of the rest of their work, and was a bit more hit and miss for me, but still good. Wish you were here, part of Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Comfortably Numb, Another Brick In the Wall Part II, part of Echoes, On the Turning Away, One Slip, a bunch more from the Wall.

The Americanized cover have that fine booty covered up, I had to look around to fine an uncensored copy.
Clapton is playing lead guitar , David Sanborn on sax, good stuff.

I have always loved "Great Gig in the Sky". I learned in the documentary that Roger Waters explained that he wanted a vocal that would emulate the ascension to Heaven. Clare put that vocal track down in ONE take!!! Amazing!!!!

She actually did several takes, but they used the first one. There's a documentary on youtube (I think that's where I saw it) where she discusses this.

I really love....

Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Time
Childhood's End
Shine On

...and pretty much everything else, except maybe Umma Gumma, except I do love Careful w/ That Axe, Eugene...........

Shine on!

 

[MrVix]

I was fortunate to see the "Animals" tour in Chicago at Soldiers Field. They had a giant pig floating over the Stadium. What a great memory!

 

[grrickar]

Beer, sex and Pink Floyd music....when they are good, they are really good, but when they are *BAD*....they're still pretty good

I got Gilmour tickets for Chicago in April...can't wait.

A bit of trivia:
Pink Floyd's Dogs was the 1st song featured on the TV show WKRP In Cincinnati.

 

[Ridire]

Stairway to Heaven, no doubt about it.

Don't you mean Free Bird?

 

[Dan]

This one Pappy. The guitar solos. Perfect

 

[Natdavis777]

Comfortably numb (because I had an amazing high with this song one car drive home)

Minor quibble. Comfortably Numb is from The Wall, not Dark Side. The Visuals are incorrect. like I said, Minor.

 

[Kharnynb]

Echoes, anything from animals, some stuff from division bells.

Ok, it's too hard to choose.

Haha, yea, that's weird.

I like a lot of their early material, too. This one is a favorite of mine:

I saw this show in Baton Rouge (forget the date) and was blown away. Have always been a huge PF fan and have seen them again in the mid 90's.

Favorite song? Many of them but I do like Comfortably Numb and just about all of The Wall.

 

[passedpawn]

Not the wall, but if you know the theme, similar.

My boy in college texted me how much he likes this. I couldn't be prouder!

 

[hunter_le five]

Your boy's got good taste.

 

[Vandulus]

Learning to Fly is still my favorite

 

[the_bird]

I'm guessing he's got a couple ounces of weed and a new philosophy major, too.

Haha, you'd think. Not likely.

 

[passedpawn]

Is this a coincidence or are you two coordinating? Twinkies?

 

[passedpawn]

I heard a song from Meddle this morning that I liked a lot...

[edit] Fearless. Beginning sounds like a Zep lead-in
