LOWFAT930 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 This question may have been asked before but does anyone experience any Pink Floyd in here? I've seen a few mentions here and there so I know there's a few who know. What is your favorite album or track? 1-Echos from the Meddle album 2-Time ,especially after the clocks stop chiming 3-SYD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It may seem cliched, but DSOTM is my favorite. The clocks are a favorite also. I once levitated a friend from a sound sleep with that track. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Echoes is great, as well as Learning To Fly. And you can't go wrong with The Great Gig in the Sky. Actually, Pink Floyd has so many great songs that it's hard to select a top three, or even a top ten, for that matter. Everyone will have their favourites. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artto Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I had the fortunate opportunity to meet "the man" himself - Roger Waters. For me DSOTM "IS" a "track". However I must admit I'm very partial to That Great Gig in the Sky with Clare Torry on vocals. Another related fav is Roger Waters Amused to Death What God Wants Parts I II & III Echos is a great "creepy" song. When I was having a cardiac ablation, waiting for the anesthesiologist, the nurse asks what kind of music do I like. I said Pink Floyd. She turns on the Pink Floyd radio channel. After a while Echos starts playing (it's what, 20 minutes long?). And I'm thinking "Oh God, no. I hope this is over before they put me under!!" 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1290 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 @artto I had two ablation's done. First was 8 hours and was asked the same thing. Told them it didn't matter cause I knew they'd change it once I was under anyway. Just told them to crank it up so I could hear it. I heard it for a couple minutes then nada. 8 hours later I'm awake. Didn't work so my cardio dude said I could do one more so a couple months later I went in for #2. This time I shaved and told the hot lil chick w/the razor to relax cause I was ready to go. She said well what are we listening too this time so I told her how bout some Petty. She said good choice then told me she had to shave something cause that was her job. I laffed at her and was out. Woke up later Yup Petty was on, one RN in the booth hangin w/me so I'm good. Slip my hand down to make sure I didn't get a bobbit and I was smooth EVERYWHERE. Chest, arms, arm pits, legs. Hope she had fun. My cardio dude was laffin his rear off when I talked to him later. Now I just tell em to do whatever when they replace my pacer. Petty sounded good though and I know she had fun! Oh yea, Floyd... Hmmm, all of it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shine of You Crazy Diamond is going to be hard to beat. I saw Gilmour at the Hollywood Bowl a few years ago and was SO happy when Coming Back to Life was on the set list. I mean, three guitar solos in that song! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nick Mason did a great job on that track. drumming=excellent -- particularly at the beginning after the clocks. I saw Roger Waters and Nick Mason perform Dark Side of the Moon (the entire album). This was on Roger’s tour, but Mason happened to be in LA at the time and after intermission, they did the entire album with Mason on drums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Like many here, my first incline is towards Echoes, but then there is that other brilliant joke of a song, Seamus, which kind of redefines what Blues is, while at the same time it is excellent to test your low frequencies and L/R-channels. And it drives my dog crazy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onebean Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 A lot of my favorites have been mentioned, so I'll through out 3 deeper cuts in no particular order.

I can pass on the original version in a heart beat but that solo is only a step behind Comfortably Numb. It just strikes me as a " happy" solo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onebean Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 @Coytee, that live version is what got me hooked on Fat Old Sun. The solo is amazing without a doubt, and happy is a great way to define it. I do like the original a lot now too, the song just draws me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechEngVic Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 My introduction to Pink Floyd came in the back of a carpet padded van with a 6x9 speaker in every corner, a significant measure of THC coursing through my veins, and the cash register from "money" spraying coins across an imagined landscape. I was hooked. To Plink Floyd. My favorite song is the current stand out at any particular point in my lifelong journey of exploration of their work. My current favorite is "Fat Old Sun", from the 1970 album "Atom Heart Mother". 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
