Yeah, probably the earliest example of Roger Waters' isolation. Plus the acoustic guitar work is simplistic but perfect for the tone.

I'm going to go with "Wish You Were Here" or "Set Controls For the Heart of the Sun"

Us & Them

Green is the Colour
Wearing the Inside Out
Marooned
Careful with that Axe, Eugene
Cluster One
Embryo

I really love comfortably numb, but i also love shine on you crazy diamond. they have so many great songs. I'll have to go with comfortably numb. the song is chilling i'd love for it to be played at my funeral.

I guess it would make a fitting funeral theme... hehehehehe... If there is another Pink Floyd Song i gotta claim to love it's Welcome to the Machine... I just love that eerie synth sound and the distortion of the vocals and the fact that the whole song kinda plods along to a mechanical rhythm.... really puts its message across fantastically.

Agreed. WTTM still sounds fantastic to this day. The production is superb and it's lyrically great too.

Word. At this point in time, I'm only really feeling in touch with WYWH and The Final Cut. Two phenomenal albums. SYCD is killing me, and I can't help but feel emotionally moved after songs like 'The Gunner's Dream' or 'Fletcher Memorial Home'.

I don't know all their songs, but I love Comfortably Numb, I listen to it everyday.

Hard to pick just one song... there is so much range to Pink Floyd's work. There's musical prowess, lyrical poetry, uniqueness, inspirational, comforting, jamming, introspective, etc. I'd say it's best to pick like a top 10...

This is a great thread--woke me up to a few songs I'd not heard from PF before. Thanks!

Mother or Wish You Were Here. Beautiful songs.

I also love all of Dark Side of the Moon.
