    Default Pink Floyd's best "song"

    I'm going to interpret Shine on You Crazy Diamond and Us and Them as a single song-like experience.

    If you can't pick one, maybe make a top 10 list. I know that my #1 is Time and my #2 is Comfy Numb.

    3. Breathe (especially as a consecutive listen)
    4. Wish You Were Here
    5. Learning to Fly
    6. Us and Them
    7. Another Brick, 2
    8. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
    9. Pigs (Three Different Ones)
    10. Great Gig in the Sky

    I saw Roger Waters this summer in Montreal at the Bell Center for his "This is not a Drill" tour.
    He opened with Comfortably Numb which I thought was a cool flex.
    The crowd noise after "Brain Damage" was so loud (see linked video) the only thing I could remotely compare it to was my trip to Mile High in '94.
    To get to the point of the thread, he also played "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" about half way through with a great accompanying video montage of Syd Barrett.
    That's always been my favorite Floyd song with "Wish you were here" coming in at a close second...

    Their best song is Run like Hell.

    Maybe an obvious choice, maybe not the most "Pink Floyd" song either...but for me it's gotta be Wish You Were Here.

    I'm listening to the spotify "This is Pink Floyd" playlist. I know like half of the songs probably, the ones that I've heard on the radio as a kid. But as I listen to this playlist I feel kindof....bored. It's not bad or anything, but compared to most of the other big classic rock bands, I don't love Pink Floyd.

    We can add this to the long list of my personal and moral flaws.
