Since it is a "best songs" list we are making, I put in songs that I find most enjoyable and not nessesarily most popular or "most influential. This is why I did not include ABITW pt 2, even though I know most will.

Eh, I know I left something out. I have to admit my list was influenced by the the other two, this is the problem with the whole idea of compiling these lists. Whoever makes the first list will influence all the other lists.

I challenge someone to make a list with all differant songs!

I just realized I put three things from OBC on my list and only two from The Wall. Hehe, i'd squeeze Run Like Hell in there somewhere.

In no specific order:

>Welcome to the Machine
>Wot's...uh the deal?
>Summer '68
>Two Suns in the Sunset
>The Narrow Way pt.3 (Pink Floyd or Gilmour solo?)
>Ibiza Bar
>Astronomy Domine
>Dogs
>Have a Cigar
>Atom Heart Mother Suite
>Mudmen
>The Final Cut
>One Of My Turns
>Corporal Clegg
>Interstellar Overdrive
>The Fletcher Memorial Home
>The Nile Song
>San Tropez
>Is There Anybody Out There?
>Childhood's End
