Did you count both parts of Shine on as one song? If so, that's one awesome number one.

Also, we have the same song at number two.

Yeah, both parts.

Again, everyone thanks for following. Lolz, you win the same thing that I won for guessing your top album of all time.

Actually,well... You'll see... Just follow my list.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #71 on:** December 27, 2012, 01:05:15 PM »

Great list

, not surprised by Shine on tho!

I'll start my list tomorrow if that is cool with you folks?

ReaperKK · « **Reply #72 on:** December 29, 2012, 05:14:42 PM »

Sorry for the delay, I had some friends in town. While doing this I also found my old top 20 list crazy how some songs moved around. Here is the first batch!:

20. Take It Back - Division Bell - Great tune that I wasn't a fan of when I first heard it. I never disliked it but it never clicked either. However while doing the list the song just kinda crept on there. It's main appeal is how catchy it is, I can here myself singing this song in my head for the entire day after hearing it, it's not the case for most PF songs.

19. The Final Cut - The Final Cut - I really don't like The Final Cut (album), it feels like it drags on partially because the songs all sound the same for the most part. The Final Cut (song) however is a different story, it's a great song. The Gilmour solo is a very nice touch and the lyrics are really well written, especially the last few lines in the song. It's just very well composed.

18. Nobody Home - The Wall - I feel this song is very much overlooked but I loved it from the first time I heard it. The added strings just bring the song to another level and again the writing on the song is exceptionally done.

Scorpion · « **Reply #73 on:** December 29, 2012, 05:27:57 PM »

Following. To my shame, I must admit that I am not that familiar with The Final Cut. The other two comfortably sit in the "meh"-tier of their respective albums - both are enjoyable songs, but I none that I would rank among Pink Floyd's best.

Oh well, you have another 17 songs to improve.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #74 on:** December 29, 2012, 05:52:35 PM »

You can miss out on The Final Cut if you want, it really is a forgettable album. Do check out the song tho!

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #75 on:** December 29, 2012, 06:01:17 PM »

I enjoy The Final Cut (the album), but not one of their best. And I agree, Nobody Home is quite overlooked.

Unlegit · « **Reply #76 on:** December 29, 2012, 10:57:38 PM »

Some underrated tunes. Don't care for The Final Cut, but the other two are nice.

Lolzeez · « **Reply #77 on:** December 30, 2012, 01:51:06 AM »

Meh. Not a fan of these songs.

Mladen · « **Reply #78 on:** December 30, 2012, 03:34:12 AM »

Nobody home is certainly one of the most underrated Pink Floyd songs. In my opinion, it's as crucial to the concept as Comfortably numb or Another brick in the wall. God, those lyrics... Waters is a genius.

As big of a fan of PF as I am I have never checked out any of Roger Waters solo work. I always imaged it'd be like The Final Cut. Am I right in that assumption?

Yes and no. But, and this is coming from someone who also doesn't think much of The Final Cut as a whole, Amused to Death is all kinds of awesome and should be checked out by all Floyd fans.

I think, if anything, you have to give one listen to Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #82 on:** December 31, 2012, 01:57:37 AM »

I honestly don't much like Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. Amused to Death, however, is a great album. Like Kev said, a must-have for all Floyd fans.

No. Amused to Death is much more popular and very highly-regarded. Pros and Cons... is not, even if you like it more.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #84 on:** January 01, 2013, 12:46:30 PM »

Doing a double update tonight because I feel behind due to New Years

Lolzeez · « **Reply #85 on:** January 01, 2013, 01:42:28 PM »

Bring it.

ReaperKK · « **Reply #86 on:** January 01, 2013, 05:42:01 PM »

Here we go!:

17. Hey You - The Wall - To me this song perfectly represents the wall. The start is dark and gloomy to which Gilmour's voice sits perfectly on top of. The solo gets even gritter but which segues into a more little bit of "hopeful" section with roger singing which then moves back into the same gloomy section as the start. It's a beautifully arranged song, the fretless bass really adds to the song, and the lyrics really convey pink's desperation.

16. Fat Old Sun - Atom Heart Mother - I used to always gloss over this song not giving it much attention until I saw this version. The solo is one of Gilmour's best and the whole song deserves attention. It's a folksy song with masterfully penned lyrics by David. Just a simple, memorable tune.

15. Goodbye Blue Sky - The Wall - This songs reminds me of a dark lullaby. It's very haunting, the vocal dubs are done well and the song is brought to another level on the film version of The Wall. I was never a fan of Gerald Scarfe but he did an excellent job on the animation for the song.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #87 on:** January 01, 2013, 06:08:33 PM »

Great 3.

Unlegit · « **Reply #88 on:** January 01, 2013, 07:48:55 PM »

Fat Old Sun is alright, but the other two are nice.

I tried to get through Amused To Death today and I didn't even listen to half the album, I'll try listening again tomorrow but I didn't like what I heard.

Mladen · « **Reply #90 on:** January 02, 2013, 03:27:04 AM »

Three fantastic songs, especially Goodbye Blue Sky.

masterthes · « **Reply #91 on:** January 02, 2013, 05:33:41 AM »

I'd probably put those two Wall songs higher on my list

Lolzeez · « **Reply #92 on:** January 02, 2013, 09:11:49 AM »

Hey You deserves higher for me.

I have tried a couple times to get in to Amused to Death, and I just can’t.

David does such a good job in these solo performances to infuse these old songs with new life. Same goes for Wots, uh the Deal? (or whatever the hell the name of that song is)

ReaperKK · « **Reply #94 on:** January 03, 2013, 01:03:47 PM »

Sorry for the short descriptions, I'll be away until tomorrow and I don't want to put off the updates until a later day.

More songs!:

14. Fearless - Meddle - I love this song, it has such a light and melancholy feel. This was the first song to really pop out at me when I first listened to Meddle. This song gets played a ton to this day which isn't true for most PF material, including most song on this list.

13. Mother - The Wall - More music from The Wall, but this really is a stand out track. I love the call and response from Waters and Gilmour and it really paints a good portrait of the relationship between Pink and his mother.

12. One Of These Days - Meddle - Dat bass line! This song is so damn good. I remember watching it over and over on the PULSE video and couldn't get enough everything gels perfectly in this song, the lap steel, the bass, the visual. It's simple and memorable and oh so good.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #95 on:** January 03, 2013, 01:08:05 PM »

Love One Of These Days. So simple, but so awesome.

One of These Days is definitely one of my favorite instrumentals of all time, and certainly my favorite PF instrumental (unless you include the beginning to Shine On)

11. Coming Back To Life - Division Bell - One of the songs that puts Division Bell as one of my favorite PF albums. It's a fairly straightforward song but it has a sense of magic to it. The lyrics are some of the best from the post-waters era, the guitar solos are timeless like always. Kinda a off topic but whenever I listen to this song I can't help but think how much the band has changed from the first album, I get the same feeling when listening to Rush.

10. Have A Cigar - Wish You Were Here - First off I don't know why but I felt the guitar riff always sounded like it deserves to be in a porno. Anyway, this song is fantastic. What makes it so great is that the music pairs so well with the lyrics, the sleazy tone of the song coupled with lyrics. Roy Harper is awesome on this track, especially when I heard the demos of David and Roger trying to sing it, they sound terrible.

09. Echoes - Meddle - My first "epic" so it's always held a special place in my heart. The one complaint I had about this song for a while is it kinda runs on too long during the jam part but over the years I've come to like it. I don't really have much to add to this song except it's perfect for putting on some headphones and just getting lost in.

Lolzeez · « **Reply #103 on:** January 07, 2013, 06:33:14 AM »

Laughed at your view on HAC's riff. Imo What Do You Want From Me's riff would be more suitable

ReaperKK · « **Reply #104 on:** January 07, 2013, 07:05:45 AM »

It's the way the guitar comes in I think, but I agree with you about WDYWFM
