I'd say Gilmour's Murder, Waters' The Tide is Turning, Wright's Night of 1000 Furry Toys

Never heard it, but the title reminds me of song And The Adress from Deep Purple`s first album. Is it the same song? Or they just share the same title?

Syd Barrett- "Long Gone"
Roger Waters- "It's a Miracle"
Dave Gilmour- "Out of the Blue" (or "Mihalis")
Rick Wright- "Holiday" (or "Cat Cruise")

Re: favorite floydian solo song

I love every Syd solo songs, but I have this thing for "here I go"
Gilmour's "there's no way out of here" is rather nice.

Re: favorite floydian solo song

while we're on this solo album topic, did anyone ever notice that dave's "about face" and rog's "pros & cons..." were released in the same year, and, they both have a hitchhiking theme, dave has his thumb out, and maybe he is saying "about face" to the model on rog's album...

Re: favorite floydian solo song

That pose was not deliberately struck for the album cover, if you believe what Storm Thorgerson says in his "Mind Over Matter" book. Dave didn't even know he was being photographed when he stuck his thumb out like that. Besides, the album was released about a month before Roger's so I'm sure it's probably just a coincidence.
