"Sheep". One of their best and most powerful lyrics, and melodically very
punchy to boot. |

"Point me in the sky"? I think that's the name of the song, at least it's sung in the verse. I heard it from a collection of their BBC radio sessions. Wonderful track!

is the song that summs all the different styles of the band.

Let's see, favorites include Atom Heart Mother, Great Gig in the Sky,
Us and Them, Dogs, Careful With That Axe Eugene, and Echoes, but I'd
have to say Shine On, in all its enitriety, is their most complete and
best work overall.

Sheep is my favourite Floyd track, but Echoes and Shine On are excellent. I love the introduction to Sheep, soft bleating and Rick Wrights' gentle electric piano (?)...then Waters' bass starts up, quietly at first, hinting at the menace to come like rumbling thunder ...I love the theatre in that track, although "The Lords Prayer" is a little silly! Ends with one of Gilmour's best riffs. Think I'm going to play it in the car tonight! |

"Point me at the sky", actually. A real gem, really. I found it on the "Early Singles" CD that came with the "Shine On" boxset. It really is a song to discover, if you haven't heard it yet. |

Wish You Were Here just for the memories it brings up. (and it is god damn good too) Then I really like Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Money, High Hopes, Hey You, Comfortably Numb and well.. Most songs actually. Even though there are some that are outstandning when it comes to masterpieces... |

Echoes. Although one of my favourites, a track that I hardly ever see mentioned here, isn't listed in the poll: "Nobody Home" from The Wall... just hauntingly beautiful. ------------- With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince.

Its a shame I can only pick one beacuse I think Echoes, Shine on..., Wish you were here, Time, Money, Us and Them and One of these days are at least just SOME of their greatest tracks. Personally for me though its shine on, wish you were here, us and them (they combine the length of shine on with the lush chords and great lyrics style of wish you were here) and one of these days. ------------- Prog is music for the mind Hear your Orphaned child!
