Set Your Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
From A Saucerful Of Secrets-
And the title track to Obscured By Clouds-
You silly children just don't get it.
Lay off the slag and take the SERIOUS STUFF...
Songs, though, really don't get it. You lose context with the album. Important with those guys to stay on track and avoid snap-shots.
Voted for Wish You Were Here. It honors Barrett. That seems important.Last edited by S2; 13 Nov 09,, 20:14."This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski

My favorite Floyd song is "Run Like Hell", but it wasn't listed, so I picked "Time"; you GOTTA listen to "Time" with a good set of Sennheiser headphones, and/or a serious set of Bose speakers, or it just ain't right."There is never enough time to do or say all the things that we would wish. The thing is to try to do as much as you can in the time that you have. Remember Scrooge, time is short, and suddenly, you're not there any more." -Ghost of Christmas Present, Scrooge

I agree with S-2. Floyd is an album band. Individual songs out of the context of the album lose something.
This song got me a free night of booze in Korean bar once upon a time:)
So it has to rank up there as one of my favorites. It saved this Jarhead quite a bit of booze money. Money that I then used for other immoral purposes.
[edit] I see I've already told that story long ago. And Shek posted the "Song"Last edited by Gun Grape; 14 Nov 09,, 05:01.

Its 1983, and we are worried about the recession , which we blame the Japanese for, and thermonuclear war. We wonder what happened to the "good old days".
The Final Cut doesn't have the psychedelic synthesizers and was the worst selling Floyd album. One of my favorites.

'Interstellar Overdrive'
I loved that one when I listened to Pink Floyd...
YouTube - Pink Floyd With Syd Barrett - Interstellar Overdrive-Part 1
Dunno if this is the live or studio version, (am listening to Tool's "Aenima"), anyhow, check it out... I lean towards the studio version whichever that was...

And where are:
- Arnold Layne
- Bike
- See Emily Play
- Welcome to the Machine
- Two Suns in the Sunset
- The Final Cut
And there best by far: Shine On You Crazy Diamond!
Feck-it: obviously the poll is too complex and contrived! How about choosing the best Floyd album...?
