The Best Song Of Pink Floyd In Your Opinion?

"Free Four" sounds pretty good. Very modern-sounding guitar work for such an old track.

It seems impossible to single anything out from one of the best discographies ever. I'll go with Wish You Were Here. I find it hard to not feel emotional every time I hear it.

Agree, especially with Dark Side of the Moon. That album works as a whole masterpiece. I don't see how you can possibly take it apart.

Its not just DSOTM, every album post-Barrett is essentially one big song. It's all cohesive. They were artists, but Waters had all the writing talent, that was obvious when he left.

Yea I agree with that too. Was just referring Dark Side as a prime example. If you even try to pick apart any of Floyd's work, DSotM would be the last place to look.

still Pow R Toc H

or Several Species of Small Furry Animals Grooving in a Pict

Dark Side? zzzzzzzzzzzzzz (except for "Money" and "Brain Damage/Eclipse")

Hard to pick just one, as has been stated, but I've always had a sweet spot for One Of These Days. Love the lap steel on it, and for dark trippy vibes with a sequencer, this is genious.

I certainly can't picture a song as upbeat as this ever appearing on either of those albums:

We talked about this before in here! Absolutely love this song.

Another one from the early era that I love:

The main motif sounds like it's from a 60's spy movie/ T.V series!

Hard to pick a favorite with a band like the Floyd.
"Let There Be More Light", "Remember a Day", "Echoes", "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", "Dogs", "Us and Them" and "In the Flesh?" are the ones that come off the top of the head.
