Recently, Roger Waters visited Venezuela, and I had the chance to hear Pink Floyd (well, Roger Waters and his band) in concert, and i was amazed by the sound. On that day I just wanted to hear… **Dogs**. ---

Hmmm…that’s a tough one. There are so many: Money Another Brick In The Wall Shine On You Crazy Diamond Wish You Were Here Breathe Welcome To The Machine Have A Cigar But I’m gonna have to go with _Time_, from _Dark Side Of The Moon_. It’s the perfect Pink Floyd song, both lyrically and musically. ---

Jesus, how could I forget _Comfortably Numb_? Thanks, **t-keela**. [sub]_Time_ is still better, though. ;)[/sub] ---

I’m not really a fan, but I love “Eclipse” at the very end of DSOTM. I love the way “Brain Damage” blends into it, I love the harmony of the verse, and I love the organ. ---

I think that if I had to pick my very favorite, I’d have to go with “Wish You Were Here.” It reminds me of an old friend who is no longer around. ---

You know, **angelicate** , it was a really hard decision for me. _Wish You Were Here_ is _such_ a great song. It lost by a whisker. 🙂 ---

My personal favo(u)rite old (i.e. late 60s Syd Barrett era) Pink Floyd song is “Astronomy Domine” as heard on their first studio album, _Piper at the Gates of Dawn_. My overall favo(u)rite is “Echoes” from _Meddle_ “Strangers passing in the street, by chance two separate glances meet, and I am you and what I see is me” — lyric from “Echoes” ---

Comfortably Numb. Normaly played at near max volume in the car to get the best out of Gilmour’s amazing guitar. The “Echoes” CDs are permanently in the CD changer in the car and CN usually gets played if the journey is over an hour long. ---

_Shine On You Crazy Diamond_. Over and above all the rest, the one most likely to make me stop what I’m doing, drop everything, and crank up th’ volume. ---

I’m quite fond of “Several Species of Small Furry Animals Grooving In a Cave With a Pict” from Ummagumma. “Grantchester Meadows” from Ummagumma, IMHO, is the the most beautiful song the lads have ever done. ---

Shine on you crazy diamond, followed by the underrated masterpiece Julia dream. The bronze is a competition between Echoes, Pillow of wind and Mother. ---
