single greatest pink floyd song

The title says it, personally for me i would have to say 'us and them'. Please do not say money or another brick in the wall, those are probably their most overrated songs

 

great gig in the sky

 

Syd era: "Julia Dream"

Waters era: "Pigs: Three Different Ones"

 

it changes from like week to week, but right now ive been listening to the more a lot and specifically the song green is the colour

 

Breathe, Time, Wish You Were Here

 

I dont have a favorite pink floyd song, because so many of their songs are truly amazing.

 

Shine on you crazy diamond.

 

wish you were here x2

 

i really like goodbye blue sky, and us and them


and oh, to the OP.. just because the songs are greatly overrated doesn't mean that they aren't still great. i think another brick in the wall is one of their best songs.

 

one of these days or sheep

 

Dogs is my favorite. The instrumental synthesizer part in the middle reminds me exactly of tripping on mushrooms.

 

Shine on or Echoes, or the 1st one from atom heart mother, shoutout for Dogsb too. There's 2 many amazing songs to choose 1

 

time, flaming, pigs (three different ones)

 

My favourites from all of their albums are:

The piper at the gates of dawn: flaming
A saucerful of secrets: remember a day
More: crying song
Ummagumma (live album): careful with that axe eugene
Ummagumma (studio album): grantchester meadows
Atom heart mother: alans psychedelic breakfast
Zabriskie point: crumbling land
Meddle: echoes
Obscured by clouds: mudmen
Darkside of the moon: us and them
Wish you were here: shine on you crazy diamond part 2
Animals: dogs
The wall: comfortably numb

Yeah, i know theirs stuff after but i personally hate mostly everything after the wall. what i dont understand is how alot of people dont like their early stuff, and only stuff after darkside. personally i think their stuff from darkside and ealier is their best.

 

Fearless, FTW!

Did Roger Waters get too concept-album "storyteller" for you? I feel that way about The Final Cut. He also used that formula on a solo album (his first?: "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking"). It's like he stumbled onto this great idea for The Wall then decided to milk it for two more albums.

I like both of the albums I mentioned (Clapton plays kick-ass guitar on Hitchhiking), but they both sound like outtakes from The Wall.

 

hmm tough, to be more cliche I'd say either Shine On for how epic it is or Hey You, to go outside the big songs I'd go with Jugband Blues

 

wow this is tough. ill narrow it down to 3 : "welcome to the machine" . "great gig in the sky" and "goodbye blue sky"

 

Jugband Blues is fantastic, but my favorites are either Comfortably Numb or Time since they're both just so epic ya know. Werd.
