i would've called that comfortably numb solo the best of all time too! that song has a special place in my heart cause it's the song that started my obsession with pink floyd.
let's see other pf songs that don't get talked about enough....'careful with that axe, eugene' and 'alan's psychedelic breakfast' i LOVE those two songs
forgot about this one, its only short, but its cool.. goodbye cruel world.. korn use it at the end of their cover for another brick in the wall too, which to be honest is where i heard it first!

me and my sister sing that all the time! we suck but that is a great song, i also love 'nobody home' off of the wall
yeah its a cool song, i dont know if the wall version is different cause i dont have that album... ive got is there anybody out there? the wall live... im guessing its not much different though??

the live ones are always the best! i love the live version of 'comfortably numb' and 'hey you'
pointsouth: Scrolled through this forum and saw the Beatles fans, Scorps and a couple others. Just wondering if there are any Floyd fans out there. I was asked to join a Pink Floyd Tribute Band this last week (I play guitar). I am curious to know how popular PF is outside of my area.
Secondly, if you come to this thread - you may as well mention you're fav album and song. Here's mine: After wearing out 2 copies of "Dark Side of the Moon" they had to go release "Wish You Were Here" so I could wear out some of them. Looking back all these years I think WYWH has lasted as my fav over DSOM and the later albums. As for songs, I usually play "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb" live so they are obviously my favs.
Thirdly, Waters or Gilmour? I can't answer publicly - there is a big feud within my family over this one - ha!
I have to agree....WYWH and CN are definitely two of the best songs EVER
I have to agree with Umma Gumma. Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict has got to be my all time favorite. Seen them 4 times so far and would do what ever I needed to to see them again in concert.
yeah, ever since i seen the pulse dvd ive wanted to see them live.. this threads doin pretty good! i wonder if i started a "anybody for some slayer" thread would i get this many replies!

hehe why don't you give it a shot...one of my many regrets in life has been never having gotten to see them live. i would've given anything to be at the live 8 concert. that would've been amazing. the pulse DVDS will have to do until i finally scrape together enough cash to go i guess...call me a dewy eyed optimist but i'm still praying for a reunion!

The Wall Live is a must. Due to the constraints of vinyl - the studio release of The Wall was cut back - i.e. "Empty Spaces." The live version puts it out there the way it was intended to be. Plus its just a killer show - the game was on - it was smokin'...

A great album for its time, so diverse, the live stuff, Astonomy Domine, Careful With That Axe, Saucerfull, then the bizzare Several Small Species and the beautiful Granchester Meadows all 'gathered together and grooving on one album' Great stuff.
I also have a fondness for Atom Heart Mother, saw them do it in Manchester, orchesta and all.
But my favourite Floyd gigg has to be Knebworth 76ish. They did Dark Side Of The Moon, last band to play on the saturday night, just awsome. It still remains to this day the best live performance i have ever seen.

Thanks! What else are we gonna talk about - the weather? I don't jam to Pink Floyd near as much as I really should. I used to be a lead vocalist as well as guitarist and I lost my voice (nodes). I can still sing Roger Waters but I can't always sing the Gilmour parts. It's frustrating. However, I do listen to some Floyd in my office I would say nearly every day. It's like a "daily fix" thing - right?

are you one of those people that finds floyd references in everything? like i can't look at a cow without thinking of 'atom heart mother' or whenever i see a doctor i want to break into a spontaneous rendition of 'take up thy stethoscope and walk' ..hehe i can relate pretty much anything to pink floyd...
one of my favorite lines would have to be 'there is no dark side of the moon, matter of fact, it's all dark'

Man, you're putting me on the spot with that one. Yes, it's true - and I think some people think I'm a bit disturbed for it. But I admit it's not just Pink Floyd - I do it with rock n roll titles all the time. However, PF tops the list...
