| The Real "Pink Floyd's Greatest Hits" I've heard a lot of people label "Echoes" as Pink Floyd's "greatest hits album." But as we know, PF were never a hit single band except for their early 2 Syd-singles and of course 'Another Brick 2.' "Best Of" and "Greatest Hits" are not the same thing, because a band can have a song that is their best yet it never had chart success or better yet was never even released as a single. So, after some research, I've compiled a list of Floyd's studio songs that would show up on an album designed strictly for the songs with great to minor chart success. 1. See Emily Play 2. Arnold Layne 3. Money (#13) 4. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 (#1) 5. Run Like Hell (#53 on the Pop Singles chart) 6. Not Now John (reached the UK Top 30) 7. Your Possible Pasts (#8 on Mainstream Rock Tracks chart) 8. The Hero's Return (#31 on Mainstream Rock Tracks chart) 9. Learning To Fly (#70 on Billboard Singles #1 Mainstream Rock) 10. One Slip (#5 on Mainstream Rock Tracks) 11. On the Turning Away (#1 Mainstream Rock Tracks) 12. Take it Back (#23 in the UK) 13. High Hopes (#7 Mainstream Rock Tracks) 14. Lost For Words (#21 Mainstream Rock Tracks) 15. Keep Talking (#1 Mainstream Rock Tracks) 16. What Do You Want From Me? (#16 Mainstream Rock Tracks) Any others with chart success anyone can think of?  |

I'm pretty sure that was the FIRST single from TDB. But anyway - Free Four/Stay was popular in the US apparently.

"Money" was a hit single and was released as a single.

Yeah, I've noticed that song has been played more on the radio, then any other song from The Wall.

| Re: The Real "Pink Floyd's Greatest Hits" and I've never heard a song frim Animals on the radio, sadly. Of course, 10-20 minute songs are the enemy of Corporate radio these days so it's not that surprising

That's the thing, I did all this research and didn't find where that one charted. And as mentioned before, yes it is the most-played song from "The wall" on radio, next to Brick-2. But I was too young to actually remember 1979/80, so when I say it's the most played I mean on classic rock radio. BUT I did find where a medly of Brick2/Don't Leave Me Now and some others charted on the Club Play Chart in 1980. Yeah surprised me too. Lumiere mentioned that "Free Four" and Stay were played in America and finally got Floyd some airplay over here (or "there" depending where you're at) and that's right, but unfortunately it didn't actually chart. Maybe the thing with CN was like an album-rock situation where album tracks from the album get played but don't necessarily chart as singles. And Lumiere don't worry I wasn't putting the tracks from the albums in the order they were released. |

So I guess the same can be said for, "Hey You". Played quite a bit on the radio, but wasn't a big hit on the charts.

| Re: The Real "Pink Floyd's Greatest Hits" "Young Lust" and "Hey You" get played occasionally here.
