I know it is hard to pick just one,but try to pick JUST ONE. For me it is [Run like Hell](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKgOe1Rl8YY) ---

_Shine On You Crazy Diamond_ (all parts). If I have to choose between _Parts I-V_ and _VI-IX_, I’d go with _VI-IX_. ---

Depends on my mood, but I’ve always been partial to most things on Animals. That’s one I usually listen to from start to finish. Headphones are mandatory. ---

Depending on my mood, almost any song on the first three sides of The Wall. Nearly all of them have soloes that are, by themselves, better than most good _albums_. ETA I dont know technically where side three ends but I’d include Comfortable Numb as a candidate. ---

> [@Small\_Clanger](#): > > Dogs > > Wow, that was easier than I thought it would be. You know, I feel the same way. I love _The Wall_ as a concept album, but on the whole the mood depresses me. I cannot separate the parts from the whole. To me **Dogs** is everything that Pink Floyd is. I think **Us and Them** would be a close second. It doesn’t make first for me because I don’t see it as being as definitively Floyd as Dogs is. ---

Very difficult to choose. But I can say one of my fondest Pink Floyd memories – that I can tell publicly – involves “Wish You Were Here.” I was wandering through the small city of Brno, Czechoslovakia one afternoon back in Cold War days, feeling a glow from having just imbibed a quantity of good Czech beer with my lunch, when all of a sudden I detected the tiny strains of the song. Was I hearing things? No, it was “Wish You Were Here.” I must have spent half an hour tracking down where it was coming from, finally discovering it being played by some construction workers. That may not sound like much, and maybe it’s just the buzz I had on, but finding someone playing Pink Floyd in a communist society struck me as totally cool at the time. ---

tough call, but if we are picking song titles, mine is: _Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict_ [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-pink-floyd-song/664493.md?page=2)
