    Signature Song Series #1 - Pink Floyd

    Defining Song = ?


    What is it and why?



    PINK FLOYD


    I'm starting with your consideration of:

    "Wish You Were Here".

    Opening riffs are absolutely recognizable.
    Album title song.
    Covered often, and actually pretty well.

    "Money" or "Comfortably Numb" come to mind.

    Yeah, I considered those...Money was an AOR hit and Comfortably Numb is definitely an anthem.

    Re: Signature Song Series #1 - Pink Floyd

    "Wish You Were Here" was the first song that came to mind for me.
    at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...

    too many to name:

    Wish You Were Here
    Young Lust
    Money
    Another Brick in the Wall (2)
    Comfortably Numb
    Learning to Fly
    Crazy Diamond
    Mother
    Hey You
    Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict
    I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.

    Don't think you could go wrong with most of the songs posted here. Pink Floyd's such a well-known band with so many great songs it's tough to punch out just one "signature" song.

    Re: Signature Song Series #1 - Pink Floyd

    Depends on which Pink Floyd

    If it's the Syd Barrett Pink Floyd it's probably Bike or Arnold Layne. I like Jugband Blues the best.

    If it's the Classic era which was pretty much Meddle through the Final Cut it's Wish You Were Here, Comfortable Numb or anything off of Animals.

    If it's the David Gilmore Pink Floyd it's probably Learning to Fly or High Hopes.

    BTW there is some Floyd news. It looks like Gilmore and Roger Waters may soon tour together. Not as Pink Floyd since Wright died a couple years back.

    I'm with GKeeper on this one.

    Seems that would be the one people not into the band would know first

    Money. Bass riff is unreal.

    Pink Floyd = Dark Side of the Moon. Didn't it ride the BB chart for like 15 years or something?

    I have great story about the first time I watched The Wall...

    My fav song is shine on you crazy diamond.

    Us and them is a close 2nd.

    Went to the Planetarium in Tulsa and watched Dark Side of Oz. Sold out all 4 showings. good stuff. The First 30 minutes are pretty amazing.
