MeloManiac Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Welcome to the machine starts with industrial sounds and a rumble. This low frequency rumble can already be heard in the final bars of Wish you were here (part 5), the track right before. It is so well done that each time, I think that there's a really heavy truck is in the street and it makes my house shake but... my 1972 Heresy speakers are doing this, without subwoofer. I have a set of standing Onkyo speakers too, of which I think they sound pretty good, but when I hooked those up to my system, they completely failed at reproducing the low frequency rumble of that passage. Here is the youtube song, but the effect will surely be lost when you play it on laptop speakers or a smartphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Damn tough question to answer, there's just too many solid tracks on all their LP's. The Final Cut is without doubt my favorite album. I could listen to it over and over, and have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon B Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Yes this is a tough one because most of their catalog is outstanding. I can honestly say, unlike other bands, their albums are not full of "filler" they are meaningful tracks from start to finish. Album? That's easy, I think the entire planet has shared their opinion on that one. When you look at the run Dark Side of the Moon had on the charts it is hard to argue - it is a complete masterpiece When it comes to a single song, mine would be Learning to Fly. That solo never fails to deliver! I love how it makes me daydream while listening to it - just so easy to get lost in it. Folks love to talk about Jimmy Page, Hendrix, et. al. But David Gilmour deserves much more credit than he is given - without a doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tblake10 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Fearless from the Meddle album 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aperfectcircle Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Echoes has to take number one for me, followed by Mother, Comfortably Numb, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts), then Fearless. On a separate note, the catalogue has been upgraded to 24/96 or 24/192 on Apple Music and Qobuz over the last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!" Sometimes it does seem like “Echoes” does have some filler in the middle, but the lyrics are great: And through the window in the wall Come streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning For just one small sample. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadoc Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I agree it is hard to choose. Most Pink Floyd songs and albums are eternal classics and should be in everyone's collections. My favorite is "Mother". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
