The Best Song Of Pink Floyd In Your Opinion?

Ok, Echoes is great, I admit. It makes you feel like you're undertaking an epic journey across the undiscovered sea...

but Dogs has a lot of raw emotional power in it and I was in that dark, mysterious, creepy phase as a teen first listening to all of Floyd, so it really made a positive impression on me the first time I heard Dogs, then that second and third solo of Gilmour's really sealed the deal.

I love "Brain Damage", Comfortably Numb", "Mother", "Echoes", but my favorite is "Wish You Were Here".

Tough to choose just one, especially since I am a huge Floyd nerd. I'll narrow it down to five, though:

1. Dogs off Animals - Lyrical/musical perfection.
2. One Of These Days off Meddle -Just a tight, yet sprawling prog rock jam out. Gilmour was in top form for this one.
3. Us and Them off Dark Side of the Moon - The best song on one of the most influential albums in music history. It's the pinnacle of DSOTM's surrealism and atmosphere.
4. Echoes off Meddle - Epic masterpiece. Arguably Pink Floyd's best song, although I feel the lyrics don't compare to Dogs. Which is why it's at 4 instead of 1. Was the gateway that led to DSOTM, though, so some may find that more of a reason to put it at number 1.
5. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun off Saucerful of Secrets - Don't know if many would consider this one of Pink Floyd's better songs (and I could see why they wouldn't) but, personally, I love the loose, spacey feel to it, and there's a lot of interesting instrumentation in it. I also think Roger Waters sounds great in this one.

HMs: Speak To Me/Breathe, Mother, Interstellar Overdrive

Not a huge Pink Floyd fan but I'd have to say 'Hey You', 'Mother', and 'Welcome To The Machine' are probably my three "favorites".
