Top Ten Lists??? Come on...

There's just no point in my proposing to make a top 20 list, so what I would like to do is just post the songs that no matter what are always right up there.

Because I know that it depends on the mood I might be in, or what album recently became my fave or which Floyd member I happen to admire the most at the time, so...

What I would like to do is post the songs that no matter what happens or what mood I'm in, or which records I happen to listen to, will always be among my favorites, even if there is 'the rest' that change every week.

Hope I made myself clear

Anyway, here are my choices for Floyd songs that no matter what are always among my faves:

* Echoes
* Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all)
* Time
* Comfortably Numb
* Dogs
* Wish You Were Here

I like all floyd songs, but these are always right up there, and they mean a lot to me at a personal level, all of 'em bring back memories

MMM, I just got nostalgic,

Anyway, what are your "no-matter-what-happens-I-will-always-love-this-song" list. There's no need in limiting ourselves to a number (as top 10's do).

Hope this gets somewhere!

See ya, and so I throw the windows wide, and call to you across the sky!

I will always like...

Echoes
Breathe
Brain Damage
Time
Hey You
Comfortably Numb
Astronomy Domine
and Wish You Were Here

I consider Echoes to be perhaps the greatest Floyd song (no debates, please...)
Breathe, Brain Damage, and Time all hold great sentimental value for me... all helped me through times when I thought I was going insane.
Hey You and Confortably Numb are special to me because they were from the first PF album I heard... and they're still great songs.
Wish You Were Here is there because it makes me sad sometimes, and it's also great fun to play on guitar...
And Astronomy Domine because it is simply a great song, in all moods...

Songs i can always listen to whatever are:
-Echoes
-Shine On (all)
-Fat Old Sun
-Us And Them
-Comfortably Numb
-Wish You Were Here
-Money
-Arnold Layne

Because:
Echoes... pretty obvious really
Shine On, I love the long ones and as well as being brilliant, it has a lot of meaning too, which makes it extra special
Fat Old Sun is one of the first songs i heard and was my first real favorite
Us and them/Money/CN - i never get bored of these.. theyre just all fantasic songs
WYWH exactly the same reasons as Shane G.
Arnold Layne makes me smile

I can always listen to:

CN: the perfect Floyd song. David's music and Roger's lyrics. Roger's strained voice in the verses and David's beautiful voice on the refrains. And the best guitar solo ever (any version...)

SOYCD: I can't even list the reasons. This song is too good on too many levels.

Echoes: This song has it all. Mellow blues-like feel in some parts, awesome power-chord middle jams, great keyboard work, David and Rick signing in harmony, what else is there?

WtIO: Rick hits a homerun with this one. Great melody, cool rhythm, insightful lyrics, and you can tell it means something to Rick. I love David's guitar fillers throughout the song, also.

WYWH: In my mind - the defining song for the band. It's so incredibly simple, but so powerful.

Time: Another near-perfect song. Great lyrics, a great tune, and some great jamming from the boys.

See Emily Play: My favorite tune from the Syd era. Cool chord progressions and it gives a real look into Syd's psyche.

The Delicate Sound.... version of "Time" will always be special to me. That was my doorway to Pink Floyd. I heard it once back in 88 on the radio, and was blown away. Dave sings that version with that gritty, aggressive edge in his voice; and coupled with the great guitar solo and the powerful lyrics, well, I sprinted to the record store and found DSOT...I got that one 'cause it had Learning to Fly on it which I also loved. When I listened to those two vinyl LPs my life was changed forever.

other special ones to me: SOYCD
Learning to Fly
CN
Run Like Hell
Brain Damage/Eclipse

Echoes- need I explain?

WYWH - cos its jsut such a special song, kind of sums up life in a few lines of beautiful lyrics

All of the DSOTM - many a special times were had listening to that album

Hey you - the first Floyd song I REALLY LOVED

Fearless- Its such a liberated song and if you face a day having heard that song in the morning nothin can stop you

cheers

I VERY MUCH AGREE!

Learning to fly was the first song of their that caught my attention, the rest are songs that i have just come to enjoy on their respective albums, i know there are more then ten there but whatever

AAAAARRRRGGHH I forgot SOYCD, makes me sad when i think about who the song is about

cheers

A difficult task but, lets'try.

Echoes. Perfect, just perfect.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond. As for Echoes, it's a song where the band is perfectly balanced, all members at their top.

Time.

The Great Gig In The Sky. The high moment of Rick Wright.

Wearing The Inside Out.

A Saucerful Of Secrets. Mystical, mysterious, underrated.

Comfortably Numb. The high moment of Dave Gilmour.

Us And Them.

Summer '68.

Careful With That Axe, Eugene.

Poles Apart.

Sorrow.

It's really really hard to say...
I post my fav songs, in random order.

Us and them
Another brick in the wall (pt.II)
Money
Time
Learning to fly
Comfortably numb
Hey you
Take it back
Wish you were here
Echoes
Fletcher memorial home
Shine on
Mother

But I repeat, it's hard to say some songs...are all damn good!!

The last two tracks on Dark Side when played together in order. The only songs I need as far as I am concerned.

Yesh, Brain Damage and Eclipse are beautiful *shivers down spine*
very powerful stuff

cheers

Brain Damage/Eclipse is I think the closest to a musical-influenced orgasm as you're likely to get.

There's just that sensation of hearing all of 'Dark Side' in it's glory and peeking with perfection.

To me they don't play that well separated or heard without previously hearing all of 'Dark Side'. That's just me.

Pure musical bliss....

I don't think I'm overdoing it.

Oh and the versions on PULSE and In The Flesh aren't *that bad*. That's on a personal note also, I don't think they're bad and no way near the originals of course.

See ya, From morning to night, I stayed out of sight!
