I know this question has been asked alot on this board but I just wanted to hear yalls opinion. My favorite song is 'Wish You Were Here'. For me its hard to listen to that song, not the original but the Live one in Pulse. I listened to it the other night on the way home from cause its been years since I've heard it and I had to pull the car over. It reminds me of my grandpa and I cried like a baby when I heard it. Song is just amazing, something words cannot describe. I mean I 'Wish He Was Here', whats your favorite Pink Floyd song.

Hard to choose...but I'll say "Us and Them" or "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"

Shine on You Crazy Diamond, which might also be my favorite song of all time by anybody.

On the Turning Away and Sorrow!

That's a very hard question to answer since Pink Floyd is my very favorite Classic Rock group of all time (even over the legendary Beatles).

Popular ones such as:
Hey You
Comfortably Numb
Us and Them
Run Like Hell
One of These Days
Wish You Were Here

As well as the lesser known ones such as:
One of My Turns
Goodbye Blue Sky
Waiting for the Worms
Lucifer Sam
Set the Controls for the heart of the sun

But the one song that really moves me (and as much as I loathe to admit it, makes me emotional) is:

Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

Especially the last Part towards the end of WYWH with Rick Wright's Keyboard solo.

It's more emotional for me since both Syd Barrett (whom the song was about) and Rick Wright have both passed on. It 's like the perfect tribute to both of them.

I've always been very fond of "Apples & Oranges" and I really can't understand why Pink Floyd seem to have written it out of their history, see also "Point Me At the Sky"...

not my all time favorite pink floyd song.. but i'd like "great gig in the sky" to be played at my funeral.. whenever my time comes, i'm sure it'll play out much in the same way the song plays out.. me sort of fighting death, not wanting to go, followed by my eventual surrender of what has to happen

High Hopes (which is my favorite song of all time).
My second favorite would be Hey You.

(((Echoes)))

so epic, I don't think they ever topped it. The albums after sounded like the rude plummet back to earth (in a good way)

Jugband Blues or See Emily Play

Did you exchange a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?
