Favorite Pink Floyd Song & or Album?

Album - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Song - Matilda Mother

 

my top 5 favorite Pink Floyd albums:

1. The Wall (it changed my life way back when..)
2. Dark Side of the Moon (it's just.. perfect)
3. Animals
4. Meddle
5. Dawn of the Piper (yes its different than Piper at the Gates of Dawn)

my top 5 favorite Pink Floyd songs:
1. Comfortably Numb (the first time i heard the solo in this, i honestly felt complete)
2. Time (brings back so many great memories, i feel like its my theme song)
3. Pigs [Three Different Ones] & Dogs (i tied them cause they go together anyway and i cant decide!)
4. Bike (oh god i love singing this song)
5. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast

 

Album-Animals
Song-Wish you were here..

 

There is absolutely no way for me to decide the best Pink Floyd album when there are just so many, in fact i LOVE every one of them. From Syd (Piper at the gates) to post Roger Waters (Momentary Lapse and Division Bell) and everything in between. An absolutely magnificent band that can not be slimmed down into one album.

Thank you Pink Floyd!

I love "Wish you were here" album..welcome to the machine is just amazing i love that tune

but my fave will always be dark side, i know, quite overrated and whatnot, but it bring so many memories...the song "time", oh man that song...

I had no idea that the early Syd Barret stuff was so popular with young people.Ihave got his two solo albums on vinyl but it is no where near as good as The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn.Actually the the earliest album that I aquired not recorded is Relics.I bought it because it was a buget compilation that I could afford.I bought it when it first came out.At the time I could not understand Interstellar Overdrive. Now I think of the beginning as spacecraft taking off ; the middle part , the lonelyness of space; the end bit the spacecraft landing on a planet in a remote galaxy.It was written when the Apollo space program was taking place.
In a way Syd Barret has been the most hippy of hippies, not that hippes care about superlatives.He hasbeen influential and inspirational out of all proportion to his output.He is still around in Cambridge, England.There is a bit of stuff on the web about him.

 

Oh I like the Gnome song on the Piper At the Gates Of Dawn.
