worst pink floyd song

You know, I was gonna say Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast (I feel embarrased for them every time I hear it)... But I can't disagree with The Grand Vizier's Garden party, now that you mention it.

Yep, that's the one for me.....an absolute farce

that album gets bash WAY too much. and it deserves non of it. sure, it is nowhere near like other Floyd in style, but when you think of what waters was trying to do and the emothional background and the lyrics, the album is no less than 4 stars. think of it as a waters solo album.

i dislike all 12 bar blues songs (they seem disingenuous (sp?)

seamus isn't the worst, IMO. at least they did something to try and spice it up a little.

actually, "the grand visier's garden party" isn't really a song, so i'll bash "Not Now John" instead. i love the Final Cut, but this song:

'If' from Atom Heart Mother.

The beginning of the song is beautiful though...

I can understand that people don't like this song and mark it as Pink Floyd's worst. The only thing that makes this song interesting is that it is such a strange and maybe even a little bit creepy song. Just like the Beatles did with Revolution 9, you could say it's the worst Beatles song.

I agree, OBC is a great album, but this is a weak song.  I don't really hate it, in fact I don't think that I hate any Floyd song.  The chanting at the end can be annoying, just like the chanting at the end of the song "Fearless" on the Meddle album.  I don't understand all the Final Cut bashing, I actually like that one a lot.

 

Another vote for Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.
Also, while it's not the worst, I hate Money! That's one thing that destroys DSotM... though most of it's pretty good...
Seamus kicks butt.

Every one is naming the worst song of Pink Floyd but I think that "bring the boys back home" which is of The Wall is the worst track by pink floyd since it is not really a song

The final cut is an album of pieces deemed not good enough for the wall, Dave Gilmour in an interview, stated that if it was not good enough for the Wall then it shouldn't have been good enough for a release. This is, probably, around the time Waters and Gilmour were falling out of love, but it is true about the final cut, it's a half arsed attempt to get more money out the fans.
