    Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2

    I'm probably one of the few who enjoys later Pink Floyd (post The Wall) as much as, if not more, than the pre Dark Side of The Moon work.

    Intersteller Overdrive
    Time
    Echoes

  • Not completely convinced of Pink Floyd's genius, but I'd go with

    A Saucerful Of Secrets (Ummagumma version)
    Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (Ummagumma version)
    Careful With That Axe, Eugene (Ummagumma version)
    Astronomy Domine (Ummagumma version)
    See Emily Play OR Corporal Clegg OR Jugband Blues

    They got less interesting after that.

    :P

    Wish Yoy Were Here at 4th??? I'd have it at the top if it were me

    There are a lot that I like and it depends on my mood, but 'Wish You Were Here' is always good listening. I quite like the underrated Obscured by Clouds album and think 'Wot's, uh the deal?' Is a nice piece.
    'The Great Gig in the Sky' is good and 'Comfortably Numb' too. Finally, I like 'Have A Cigar' more now after hearing the story of how Roy Harper nailing the vocals irritated Roger Waters.

    I'll probably change my mind in five minutes as it seems criminal that 'Astronomy Domine' isn't in there. Also, 'Two Suns in the Sunset' is very good.

    I can't do this. Too difficult.

  • Its interesting that the vast majority of you dont mention Another Brick (quite rightly) - as it was probably the worst PF song ever.

    Or 'Alans Psychedelic Breakfast'

    13 minute instrumental with the noise of a bloke actually making breakfast in the background. You don't find innovative works like that on Now! Thats What I Call Music, do you?!

    Thought Leuth might have had it. He picked the rest of Ummagumma.

    2. Have a cigar
    3. One of these days (Classic)
    4. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Any proper band has made a proper long song like this, theirs is just better than most)
    5. See Emily Play

    If you're willing to be open minded @sadiejane1981, choose a list of five at random from this thread, download them onto iTunes and give them a go. I reckon you'll enjoy at least 3 out of 5 of pretty much any list here.
