favorite floydian solo song

[jeffro]

what are your favorite songs from any of the boys' solo peojects?
i searched for this topic and didn't see anything like it.

for me, i like, in no particular order:

1.murder. david gilmour-about face
2. running shoes. roger waters- pros/cons/hitchhiking
3. satellite. rick wright-broken china

[stratman]

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

[Botley]

Nick's And the Address is particularly nice.

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?

They just share the title.

[Watered]

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

Cry from the streets. What a classic

[Da_Floyd_Fan]

Syd's Love Song is a nice one. Also, Rick's Summer Elegy.

[Lily]

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.

[grimble_grumble]

Syd - Dark Globe / Bob Dylan Blues

David - You Know I'm Right

Roger - What God Wants

havent heard any of nick or ricks solo stuff

[Brainwashed]

In order:

1. Wright's "Night of 1000 Furry Toys"
2. Waters' "Watching TV"
3. Gilmour's "All Lovers Are Deranged"

In no particular order:

To Kill the Child
Murder
There's No Way Out of Here
Cry from the Street
What God Wants, part 1
The Bravery of Being out of Range
Amused to Death
Three Wishes
Radio Waves (especially the long version, from the single)
Every Stranger's Eyes
Pros and Cons (the title track)
Running Shoes (live with the extra lyrics)
Nobody Home live in Berlin

...to name just a few.

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...

[Botley]

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.
