See Emily Play

Sorry, I did a baker's dozen. This reminds me of how much I have loved Pink Floyd and how important it is has been to my life. Of any band, this comes closest to the soundtrack of my life (been into Pink Floyd since very young) and it must have been the most important to me band and resonates with me as deeply, or actually more deeply, than ever now.

- Astronomy Domine (off The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, 1967)
- Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (A Saucerful of Secrets, 1968)
- Cirrus Minor (off More, 1969)
- Sysyphus (off Ummagumma, 1969)
- Atom Heart Mother (off Atom Heart Mother, 1970)
- Echoes (off Meddle, 1970)
- Fearless (Interpolating "You'll Never Walk Alone") (off Works, released 1983)
- The Embryo (BBC Archives 1970 & 1971, released 2015)
- Childhood's End (off Obscured by Couds, 1972)
- Brain Damage / Eclipse (The Dark Side of the Moon, 1973)
- Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V) (Wish You Were Here, 1975)
- Dogs (Animals, 1977)
- Mother (The Wall, 1979)

I made a playlist of my 13 favourite/ most special to me tracks as mentioned above:

It is quite wondrous going through these topics and revisiting music, especially for me with this one where the music has been so very important to me and I have so many associations with it. I am feeling very nostalgic now. Lovely to share this space with others who have been touched by Floyd.

^ Better late than never, Paul. I thought I might say better never than late when it comes to some of your favourites, but.... Just kidding, and you could easily say the same only more stridently when it comes to music I like. I did not hear King Crimson and VdGG (same with Gentle Giant and many others) until a few years or less before I joined this site that I recall, and that was thanks to the internet. I was at a sci-fi forum and one guy kept on telling me to listen to In the Court, and I finally relented, and it helped change my course of direction when it comes to pastimes.

I actually was into Alan Parsons Project's I Robot before I ever remember getting into Pink Floyd. And I liked Camel's Snow Goose when I was very young. Focus and Gryphon were two others I liked at eight or so. This was thanks to my eldest brother (he by the way is very condescending towards Prog, but then he would not call Pink Floyd Prog, and I tend not to think of it as Prog either). I know when I was nine or so my two favourite albums were Tubeway Army's (with Gary Numan) Replicas and I Robot. And those still have the kinds of qualities in music that I gravitate towards today.
