[OniEhtRedrum781]

I've got ur avatar on a shirt

[halosin8r]

How bout this classic from Umma Gumma: "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict"

oh yeah. :)

Im hosting it on Live Wire right now actually.. the cd... if you want, you can d/l it... its about 21 minutes into the cd

[budzy malone]

You covered most of them.
Some of the shit from DIVISION BELL is pretty good
Also Roger Waters' WHAT GOD WANTS is also trippy

Man, I just figured something out. If I point to the picture I got your special site. Some of you have web sites and blogs and e-mail addresses. Thats pretty cool. This is first time I have visited this site without being stoned. Most of my posts are submiited whilst I am high so I figured out more about how this site works. Some of you younger tokers got to be more patient with us older dudes. I mean I used to think a thread was something that floated across my eyeball, but now I know better. I mean imagine yourself having been tripping, smoking and drinking for fiften years. Party on Dudes:o

[gill145]

I have my avatar on a tapestry and signed by roger waters, AND syd barrett.. my single greatest posession.

[DonnieDarko]

Mother

[EmericanStoner420]

ede

[maryjanehaze]

breathe in the air of course :thumbsup:

[turquoise70]

My faves so far are Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, and Echoes. My favorite part of Echoes is the last 2 and a half minutes. It sounds like the end of a hard boiled detective thriller film noir and the lead guy is walking away down a dark city street...you guys dig? :)

I'm into these lately because I've been sort of down and they fit my mood well without making it worse.

[Acouwaila]

wish you were here, shine on you crazy diamond, mother, comfortably numb, another brick in the wall, the great gig in the sky, have a cigar, money, in the flesh is awesome too

[turquoise70]

Yeah man. I just heard Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all parts) and was blown the hell away. That's one of my all time favorite songs now.

[hammertime]

wish you were here
money

[koko]

My favorite is Wish You Were Here

[johnnyfive]

Dogs. An unreal song. It's almost 18 minutes long, but it passes like that.

Other favorites include:
On The Run
Young Lust
Wish You Were here
Sheep
Hey You
Comfortably Numb
Time
Have A Cigar

[jaGerbom]

oh i fcuking love pink floyd

my parents raised me on it

watch the wall (the movie)

amazing movie....even better stoned haha

but yeh i cant pick one song i'd spend all night deciding

[Kwali]

Wish you were here
shine on crazy diamond
entire dark side album

[fikusroot]

Great gig in the Sky. Even after listening to it 193878 times I still get goosebumps.

[Tokudai]

Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict

[Mosiah]

Damn.. That's just about impossible to answer. I like david gilmour's reign over roger waters, and I tend to associate waters music to trips other than those with cannabis.

As for david gilmour's stuff, I think I'll go with "Wish you were here.."

But really, get their DVDs. It's better to watch entire concerts and recording sessions and see them and their visuals.

Buy PULSE! It will blow you away, I guarantee it.

[Oh F Yeah]

"I mean imagine yourself having been tripping, smoking and drinking for fiften years. Party on Dudes:o"

Still a youngster, huh?......lol


Just kidding.........i DO understand!

[mcweedy]

Darkside of the Moooooooooooooon baby!

Echoes - Live at Pompeii, Oct 1971. Perhaps the best version. Its even captured on film and can be seen on UTube.

Other Floyd goodies

1) Paint Box
2) The Nile Song
3) Remember A Day
4) Interstellar Overdrive
5) Apples & Oranges
6) Cirrus Minor

Eclipse-

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
Beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All thats to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

I love most of there songs that hold an awsome meaning to me. But there all amazing.

[Catt]

For some reason... I always hate when people say their favourite song is like "Money, Comfortably Numb, Dogs of War, Wish you Were Here" ... etc..

I feel like they haven't really listened to floyd... and they only state the more popular ones... which is ok if they like them of course... but Im sure that people that really listents to Pink Floyd... would say a whole different thing...Interstellar Overdrive... Dogs... Jugband Blues... Brain Damage... I don't know...

I've listened to pretty much every song and I still think Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here are amazing and I'm sure many will agree with me...

[Matt the Funk]

Whole Dark Side of The Moon album.

[4gan2ja0]

have a cigar
comfortably numb
money
shine on you crazy diamond
welcome to the machine

[Metaphor]

Echoes

[slipknotpsycho]

i only like 2 songs by pink floyd... another brick in the wall (pretty sure it's pt. 2, the other two id on't like) and welcome to the machine..

but outta the 2, by far, welcome to the machine.... i listen to it when i've been smoking all day, and am hearing shit (i start having alot of auditory halucinations after smoke all day, and being up all day, even in a dead silent room) and i lay back and chill while i listen to it... i wouldn't quite call it 'trippy' but it's very intresting at that point...

[mattmao]

the whole lot,but just remember roger waters is the main influence,just listen to his solo stuff and you will hear who made pink floyd tick.

[Duke Street Kings]

Echoes - Live at Pompeii, Oct 1971. Perhaps the best version. Its even captured on film and can be seen on UTube.

Other Floyd goodies

1) Paint Box
2) The Nile Song
3) Remember A Day
4) Interstellar Overdrive
5) Apples & Oranges
6) Cirrus Minor
7) See Emily Play
8) Biding My Time
9) Bike
10) Julia Dream

This is, IMHO, the most interesting list of favorite PF songs yet (Paint Box? Really?)

Mine:

(1) Remember a Day (possibly the best song of PF's psychedelic area - one of the more substantial psychedelic songs, ever)

(2) Fat Old Sun (solo just evokes a blazing sunset)

(3) Echoes (dreamlike, aquatic, conceptual - one of the Pink Floydiest of all Pink Floyd songs - if someone asked me what the essence of Pink Floyd was, this is the song I'd play.)

(4) Green is the Colour (sappy, but rustic; I like it)

(5) Childhood's End (the movie, The Valley, is worth watching - highly recommended for potheads or the pensive)

(6) Crumbling Land (IMHO, Pink Floyd's most underrated song - I love the harmonies and guitar in this one)

(7) Careful With That Axe, Eugene / Come in no. 51, Your Time is Up (disturbing, nightmarish, but powerful and from the gut)

(8) Time (my God, that solo)

(9) Us and Them (the best use of Rick Wright since Remember a Day)

(10) Shine on Your Crazy Diamond (good the same way Echoes is good - absorbing, but this time, more heartfelt and personal)

(11) Sheep (Pink Floyd's most violent song, arguably - and probably the song they rock hardest on - how can you not love a song with a lyric like "Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream / Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream")

(12) The Gunners Dream (heartwrenching, and the piano is beautiful here)

(13) The Fletcher Memorial Home (acidic sarcasm at its best - one of the best politically oriented songs I've ever heard.)

(14) The Final Cut (the naked soul of Roger Waters)

(15) Sorrow (absolute classic Pink Floyd, even without Waters - the guitar here is maximum Gilmour)



Waters
---------

(1) Every Stranger's Eyes - I've had a bit of clarity in recent years, which is in line with the thrust of this bit of Pros and Cons

(2) Towers of Faith - This land is my land! And this sand is my sand...and this band is *my* band!

(3) Folded Flags - No glory in death.

(4) What God Wants - What else is there to say about people who do evil in God's name?

(5) The Bravery of Being out of Range (In one song, Roger Waters summed up, in its entirety, the rationale and motivation for foreign wars. You could write books and studies on the subject, and you wouldn't, a hundred years from now, get any closer than Waters does in this song. He just nails it. I'd love to seize the airwaves and blast this across to every radio and TV in the United States)

(6) Home - When the cowboys and Arabs drawn down / On each other at noon, in the cool dusty air / Of the city boardroom / Will you stand by a passive spectator / Of the market dictators?

(7) Amused to Death - I would not be surprised, if this is precisely, how our species takes its last breath (They checked out all the data on their lists / And then / The alien anthropologists / Admitted they were still perplexed / But on eliminating every other reason for our sad demise / They logged the only explanation left / "This species has amused itself to death."

[logie_boy]

comfortably numb
echoes
shine on you crazy diamond
in that order

[PrideOfCucamonga]

BREATH....Breath in the air....

[Grape Ape]

Eclipse is an amazing song, Waiting for the Worms, Time, Wish You Were Here, Happiest Days of Our Lives. The Wall is a masterpeice of an album, and of course so are all their other albums.

[IceNine]

Any Colour You Like

[jessem98]

why has no one said "us and them"? its virtually the only one i actually enjoy

[cannabis=freedom]

why has no one said "us and them"? its virtually the only one i actually enjoy

Us and Them is an amazing song.

I also love Comfortably Numb, Hey You, Time, Money, The Great Gig in the Sky, Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, Echoes, Atom Heart Mother, Keep Talking, The Fletcher Memorial Home, Wish You Were Here, Have a Cigar, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, etc.

They're an amazing band. One of the greatest things ever to happen to music.

[wrasler]

i actually just burned a copy of their "live @ pompeii" dvd onto my computer. its sooo sick. anyways, my fave song is definitely comfortably numb. its epic.

[Nightcrewman]

See Emily Play

NCM

[Baby Seymour]

I would say that my favourite is wish you were here, mainstream if you like, but its special to me :D Its just...

Im gonna go listen to it.

[onequickmove]

comfortably numb, and have no desire to justify it; it's my favorite song of all time; have heard it covered, once live by a female artist, can't recall her name, but never heard it like on "the wall"

it's one of a few songs that almost brings tears to my eyes; in my mind it's about a fellow losing touch with what's beautiful in the world, growing into complacency and routine, "there's no pain, you are receding", the loss of wonder

i understand that's a totally incorrect interpretation but it's mine :)

[nightlight]

lucifer sam

[jdub61]

shine on you crazy diamond
could there be any other answer? only "time" comes close...

[JeKo]

my favorite is probably san tropez, and looks like im the only one.

i also enjoy the great gig in the sky and the whole animals album

[BronxToker]

There are so many awesome pink floyd songs.
Some of my favs are (in no particular order):
-Set the controls for the heart of the sun

I'd have to say Shine on you crazy diamond is my favourite. Rest in Peace Syd, i love your solo stuff you legend. 2nd favourite would be Echoes. Gilmour is God. 3rd Atom heart mother, the first song, wow, summer of 68, wow, 'if', i like it, alans psycadelic breakfast, lol. 4th, Dogs. Awesome, animals is my my 3rd fav album. 5th. Marooned, best instrumental in 1994. Like i said, i love like every other song and could go on, but won't. My fav album is Division Bell, then Obscured by Clouds, Animals, The wall, Darkside, Wish you were here, Pipers at the gates of dawn, Atom heart mother, The final cut, A saucerful of secrets, More, Medal etc.
