I would surely enjoy the remainder of my life much more if I never had to hear the opening bass line to "Money" ever again.

Happiest Days Of Our Lives/ ABITW!!! so freaking overplayed! What really bothers me is that on rquest shows people call in, claiming to be huge Floyd fams, then request that freaking piece of !!

Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Floyd fan (honestly) but I cannot stand that song. Other than the lyrics. They could have done a much better job at it, if they had a different producer, in my opinion. Even though it was my theme song for last year, that was because of the lyrics, i still dislike it. But the whole concept of using a children's choir in it is good.

In Ecuador definetly...Another Brick in the Wall (pt2) you played that song to the average rock listener and he'll say PINK FLOYD!!!!. Now the same kind of Rocker would know about DSOTM, but the only thing he would say is that the common guy say: Great album, classic, but he barely heard the complete record. You would play him Wish You Were Here and the fifty percent (or less) will tell you that is a Floyd song. But with no doubt ABINTW PT2 is the best known song from them.

interesting point of view...especially since Astronomy Domine is 12 years older and was done when Barrett was in the band. Don't get me wrong...I love Astronomy Domine...especially the live version on Uma Gumma

Yeah...I think so...perhaps we should appreciate the fact we have radio stations that sometimes play good music instead of bashing them about the ones they overplay and the few bad ones as well

The above list of songs I can hear at least one of them every hour on the hour on one of the classic rock stations here in Chicago(we have 4)

Fair comment. We don't have nearly as many radio stations on this side of the pond, and especially not "specialist" ones.

To Easy Living-as I said above-this is by no means a slam on the great Pink Floyd...perhaps where you live it is not the case, but if I were to flip around the dials enough I can catch a Pink Floyd song every hour and it is always one of the above songs with few exceptions..I do not consider this a negative poll .I was  just curious if this was the case where others live

If Pink Floyd were to make a true greatest hits cd then the above list would represent them well to the pop loving masses

Agreed. I voted money. You hear it on TV a lot. Its my least favourite song on DSOTM.

I know where people are coming from with Comfatably Numb, but I'll always like it because of Gilmours Guitar solos. Some of his finest IMO.

In Holland Pink floyd is rather underplayed, so it's always nice to hear them, however if their played it are mostly the same songs, another brick in the wall, have a cigar, money and a few other's.

Like Dragon Phoenix, I abstain!

No criticism intended, but "negative" polls like this should really include an option to disagree with the question.

i.e. an option, "None of them are overplayed".

Given the lack of exposure prog gets on the radio, i suspect that would have got a few votes!
