Off the top of my head, I'd say us and them.

The swelling chorus is just so haungtingly gripping and it tries to rip your mind to emotion

Maybe the best lyrics ever written.

Don’t mind turning the knob for “Shine on you crazy diamond”

My dad and uncle were big fans when I was young... I remember my uncle telling me what the song was about back then. Then after high school I heard it at someone’s house and it all kind of came back. Been jamming it ever since

So you remember when you were young?

I pretty much listen to DSOTM as a single piece, but that is the greatest Rick Wright track of the catalogue (ETA: or, perhaps tied for first with The Great Gig in the Sky), IMHO.

This thread comes around a lot, but for good reason. This body of work of the Floyd (I listened to all of The Endless River yesterday) is extraordinary.

While I remain of the opinion that Comfortably Numb is their greatest song, my favorite is Wish You Were Here.

Time. In fact it's my favorite song of any genre of any group.

We should redo the thread and all give post-Wall answers so in case Roger reads the posts he will die a little inside.

That is a good one!

I like “Take it Back” although it was after Roger Waters.

I guess it varriies day to day.

I really like the first suite of The Wall strung together from the start until “Mother.”

Dogs.

Just an incredible work of rock art and back when Waters and Gilmour were still somewhat working together. Pigs is right there too.

I'm on a huge Pink Floyd kick right now. The Wall was the first CD I ever bought with my own money. I went forever without listening to them much, and am now getting reacquainted and trying to take a bit of a deeper dive.

I never even fully appreciated Dark Side of the Moon before. I always liked it, but through recent listens it's taken its rightful place among my favorite albums of all time. Better late than never, I guess.
