It has to be Careful With That Axe Eugene, this version --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMpGdG27K9o is crazy awesome. And also Fat Old Sun (the 1971 bbc session recording is amazing, 14 minutes long) And the Gnome And See-Saw. And Jugband Blues. (you know, this is a silly question.)
oh man, I'm so happy this thread still goin. new fascination of mine: Lucy Leave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDOVuDzEHZ8
oooh was just gonna say lucy leave. two runners up would have to be Pow R. Toc H. or Careful with that Axe, Eugene. Although i REALLY have been enjoying Summer '68 a bunch lately.
A friend recently asked me for a top 20 from the Floyd...here's what I chose: 1. Echoes 2. Time 3. Dogs 4. Fearless 5. Point Me at the Sky 6. On the Turning Away 7. Cymbaline 8. Nobody Home 9. Two Suns in the Sunset 10. When the Tigers Broke Free 11. High Hopes 12. Have a Cigar 13. Corporal Clegg 14. The Nile Song 15. A Pillow of Winds 16. Matilda Mother 17. Paintbox 18. Free Four 19. Remember a Day 20. If
Some lovely ones there, but no Shine on you Crazy Diamond, and no Wish you were here- I am surprised. No Arnold Layne either.
I don't listen to Pink Floyd much anymore.. but here would be my top 10: 1. Dogs 2. Pigs (Three Different Ones) 3. Echoes 4. Let There Be More Light 5. Julia Dream 6. Green is the Colour 7. Nobody Home 8. Intersteller Overdrive 9. If 10. Mother
I caught the Animals tour and The Wall tour. Too many great songs and great times. Right now I would like to hear Wish You Were Here.
Floyd is definitely in my top 5 bands. It's probably number one, actually. "Time" is probably my favorite, despite the request of not naming it. It's just too perfect. The music, the lyrics, the mood - brilliant. There are MANY very close runner-ups. There isn't a song by Floyd I dislike. "Sheep" is a top one -- fun to sing. "San Tropez" is probably an extremely close second, though. I love that song. DSOTM is without a doubt the best album ever composed in my opinion. Nothing even compares.
They have so many great songs, but my favourites are probably astronomy domine, echoes, goodbye blue sky and shine on you crazy diamond.
Greatest British band ever IMO. Favourite Floyd tracks in no particular order as i love them all ; Wish you were here. Breathe Time Shine on You Crazy Diamond Comfortably Numb Echoes Another brick in the Wall Prt 2
