**Comfortably Numb** is tops for me. Love the compostion, lyrics, and it has my favorate David Gilmour lead. ---

Oh man, so many. **One of my Turns** , or **Shine On You Crazy Diamond** , **The Postwar Dream** , so many but always come back to **Comfortably Numb**. Some interesting covers of Comfortably Numb are ones by [Dar Williams](Dar Williams) and Bruce Hornsby. Yes, Bruce Hornsby. In concert he does a song titled **Fortunate Son** that has a similar vibe to **Comfortably Numb** and in the middle of the song he segues into Comfortably Numb, does about 3 or 4 minutes of it, then segues back into his song. He is actually a fantastic live performer, very talented. Anway, back to our Floyd lovefest. Can’t leave out **Dogs of War**. ---

“Sorrow” is the one I’d have to pick. I seem unnaturally drawn to the most depressing works. Examples… an old country song, “Jason’s Farm”, the “Floyd” song above, “Lord of the Flies”, “Bless the Beasts and the Children” (the novel, not the song), “Johnny Got His Gun”, ANYTHING by John Steinbeck. ---

‘Echoes’ from the _Meddle_ album is my favorite Floyd song overall. ‘Astronomy Domine’ from _Piper at the Gates of Dawn_ is my favorite from the Syd era. ---

> [@KarlGauss](#): > > Great choice. It’s a terrific example of an under-appreciated, under-enjoyed Floyd track. Just like Paintbox and The Nile Song ;). +3 for “Summer of '68” (and a shout-out for AHM in general). Not my ‘absolute’ favorite (how do you pick just one?), but “Seesaw” has always been right up there in the mix. Thanks again, Richard.
