Echoes
Julia Dream
Careful with that axe Eugene
Set the controls for the Heart of the sun.

Love the later stuff as much, but for us 'Vintage - Pre Dark Side fans these are just a few of the best

The one's you have ststed above are obvious for me too Rob.
I must put in Another brick in the wall too.
We were on Holiday in Teneriffe and there was a guy in a bar singing and playing guitar with backing (he was good too).
He would do a request slot near the end my lad then being 6 years old put his hand up and asked for....Another brick in the wall.
Took the guy by surprise...lol.

Another Brick is the one for me. It has the PERFECT guitar solo in it and the perfect guitar sound for the solo.

I've never really got Pink Floyd, although I have a friend who's mad on them and took me to see Aussie PF, Off the Wall and Think Flyod - I was impressed but the highlight for me was seeing the woman do that wierd but wonderful moaning in Great Gig in the Sky.

Love all of the above especially Dark Side in it's entirety with the lights off and lay on the bed (with the possible exception of 'Time' lol), but one that hasn't been mentioned so far is the 'Atom Heart Mother' suite ( side one of the lp), love the orchestration! Another piece in a similar vein is 'Salisbury' by Uriah Heep ( second album of theirs) magical!

Pigs (Three different ones)



Have A Cigar


Dogs (Great live version by Roger Waters's band)

Surprised nobody's mentioned Fearless off 'Meddle". Great tune, made even better by having a snippet of the Kop Choir sing 'YNWA"!

Yes, I'm with you on that one. Animals is a very underated album.

Animals is a great album saw them do it live at Bingley hall in Stafford circa 74 I think

I do like "Take it back" and "coming back to life" and "Run like hell"

I must admit I preferred Floyd when they were called 'Sigma 6.bittc fuck vagina' and played songs by The Searchers. Downhill all the way after that for me!
