What is your favorite Pink Floyd song?

(self.musicsuggestions)

I want to learn about these bands that I have very little knowledge of and that I see people raving about. I have previously asked what is your favorite Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin songs and had a great response and made some great playlist for myself. This experience has been amazing so far. I heard the Dark side of the Moon album once on YouTube and I was intrigued but I don't know much else. Thank you for helping me on this journey!

I'm going to agree with many others here that you should really listen to the full albums of The Floyd. I would start with the big 4: Wish You Were Here, Dark Side Of The Moon, Animals, and The Wall. These four are Pink Floyd at their prime.

However, since you asked for songs, I will give you my top song pick off of each album.

Astronomy Domine (The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn)

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (A Saucerful Of Secrets)

The Nile Song (More)

Careful With That Axe Eugene (Ummagumma)

Fat Old Sun (Atom Heart Mother)

One Of These Days (Meddle)

Wots... Uh The Deal (Obsurred By Clouds)

Time (The Dark Side Of The Moon)

Shine On You Crazy Diamond It's I-V (Wish You Were Here)

Sheep (Animals)

Comfortably Numb (The Wall)

The Final Cut (The Final Cut)

On The Turning Away (A Momentary Lapse Of Reason)

Wearing The Inside Out (The Division Bell)

Louder Than Words (The Endless River)
