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.

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.

If you were living in Chile (like I do), you would find yourself praying to here at least one Pink Floyd song on the local radios... no matter wich song...

Can I vote for all of them? Now before you call for my execution, allow me to explain myself. First of all I'm a hardcore Floyd nut, but the rock stations in this area play nothing but the above-over and over... Floyd have so many gems, you can't just stick to the same old "safe" relics!

Furthermore I generally do not like listening to some Floyd pieces out of context ie- The Wall and Darkside.The whole is always more than the sum of the parts.

Each Floyd album is a work of art as a whole and it takes away so much to hear the songs out of context.

I am really tired of hearing happiest days/another brick 2 on the radio tho.

None of them really. Here in Hungary at least. I'm happy when I catch some good music on radio or on TV.

If I have to listen to Another Brick in the Wall part 2 on the radio one more time, I shall have to put an ash covered fire poker down my throat and swallow!

I mean, come on now! Stairway to Heaven and Smoke on the Water don't get played as much as Another Brick pt.2. IMO, hearing the song 'out of context' from the Wall is just wrong.

The answer is so another brick in the wall part two. I listen to classic rock radio a lot, and almost everyday they play this song. thats probably because its so popular all the uneducated losers of America.  i hate it! it's f**king disco! can you believe Korn made it even worse?

I actually called our local classic rock station and told them that Pink Floyd had other albums besides DSOTM, The Wall, and WYWH.

"Wish You Were Here" is one of those songs which s*ck completely when listened on its own. On the entire album concept, it's fantastic!

I got completely sick of "Another Brick On The Wall, Pt.2"!!! I just can't listen to it anymore!!! When I'm listening the the album The Wall, I skip that one up! And the same on their live albums and best of's.
