For the record I, too, would say Comfortably Numb.
Touche.

It's hard to chose...

But my favourites are:
1. One of my turns
2. Run Like Hell
3. Waiting For The Worms

I love all the album, and ITAOT... all the song... but I can't say taht this one is better than another... Comfortably Numb, Hey You, etc. these one are really great, they are most famous... And sometimes, the greatest ones are not the most famous... Look, 'bout DSOTM, Money is the most famous, but It's very far to be the best one on this album...

Yea all the songs are great (Well, maybe not 'Bring the boys back home', but it still fits in well enough).'Mother' is particularly good, the drumming on that track is just superb. Too bad its not Nick.

Obvious choice for me as far as the complete package (lyrics, music, solos) has to be Comfortably Numb.

Lyricly I really like The Trial

~ You little shit, You're in it now
I hope they throw away the key,
You should have talked to me more often than you did
BUT NO! You had to go your own way
Have you broken any homes up lately?
Just five minutes Worm your Honour
Him and Me Alone........

Comfortably Numb is my favourite with Run Like Hell as a close second.

That goes the same way for me too...I could be in a happy mood and not even want to get near Pink Floyd....but on the album I like The Trial...but then I like In the Flesh too...

You're right Botley. Picking a favourite piece is possible from albums like Piper, where the songs do not depend on each other so much (at least I think they do not do), but The Wall is like an opera. Although some people would admit that you can pick your favourite aria.

Plus, you might actually have to like one of the songs on the album to pick a favorite.
