Best Floyd Guitar Solo EVER:::

Which is your favorite Pink Floyd guitar solo? The one that makes you feel like breaking down and crying or getting up and dancing. Im going with 'Marooned' as mine. I like the full song, but I think the shortened version on 'Echoes, the best of' is the best! Which would you pick?

I'm pretty sure i've seen at least 2 topics like this out there... anyway, Time is my favourite and CN is a close 2nd.

My favorite solo is on Your Possible Pasts, it's so perfectly depressing.

My fave has got to be a live version of Comfortably Numb.

But, there's so many great ones it's so hard to choose just one!

well ive just said this on daves best solo forum, but here goes any way: SOYCD part 2 and the gold its in the

Hearty PFfanNet welcome to both SteveW, Baby Floyd (and dudeBARRETT89 on another thread)!


Good to see you finally got here.

I'm amazed to witness this man's kindness!

I'm talking about you, Byron, and about how you always take care to welcome as many new users as possible!!!

Oh, and, just for the record, my fave solo is the bluesy-jam bit in the Atom Heart Mother suite, pardon me cuz I don't remember the section's name but I'm quite sure it's well in the second half.
Oh, nevermind, I'm sure every Floydian knows what I'm talking about.

"Stop! You're embarrasing me." - "Dr." Nick Riviera

Which Ones Pink.

I too quite like that bluesy/funky bit of AHM - I only have the CD to hand so can't identify the segment by name either - as well as the same sort of funky sequence in "Echoes".

Groovy Floydian,
Byron

Cheers for the welcome!! Taken me ages to find you over here, but I'll be back often now!

Been into Floyd as long as I can remember, seen them live in 87 at Wembley, and 94 at Earls Court. Probably never again, well, "Never say Never", isn't that what Mr Gilmour said in the Johnny Walker interview on Radio 2 a while back?

Oh by the way........which one's Pink?

Oops! Sorry I had to edit this twice. I completely misunderstood what the topic was.

Anyways, to contibute to the thread, I think all Floyd solos are superb. I can't make up my mind.

I love that solo in Astronomy Domine (PULSE album) @ about 1:48 to 2:29---

yes that is quite the solo

cheers

I think that song was Barrett's best.....I think Syd wrote it during his first big trip on LSD....

Did anyone see the VH1 special recently on Syd?? I'm amazed how emotional Rog, Dave and Rick still get when discussing him. Nick, however, seems to have gotten over it......

Echoes, in Live at Pompeii has got to be my favourite solo ever (all of them in that version of Echoes are great!)
