Pink Floyd - "Where Do We Go From Here?"

I don't really remember many of those songs, so I guess I would need to check them out again. However, what I did as a list was an alternate version of The Wall, leaving out the pieces I don't really enjoy so much, and including my favourite ones from The Final Cut, as well as a few Gilmour's and Wright's songs from '78, just to get an idea of what could have been if they had not used their ideas on solo albums and thus contribute a bit of music to The Wall project. For me it would end up like this (and I do find it more enjoyable than the real album):
- Mediterranean C (Wright).
- The Thin Ice (Is there anybody out there? live version).
- Another Brick in the Wall 1 (demo version).
- Goodbye Blue Sky (The Wall live Waters solo version).
- When the Tigers Broke Free.
- The Hero's Return (parts 1 & 2... very important for me to have both parts).
- The happiest days of our lives / Another Brick in the wall 2.
- Mother (In the Flesh Waters solo version).
- Against the odds (Wright).
- Cat Cruise (Wright).
- The Final Cut.
- What shall we do now? (Live in Berlin).
- Not now John.
- One of my turns.
- No way (Gilmour).
- Waves (Wright).
- Another brick in the wall 3 / the last few bricks (live in Berlin).
- Is there anybody out there? (Is there anybody out there? live).
- Hey you (Pulse).
- The Fletcher Memorial home.
- Southampton Dock (In the Flesh live).
- Mad Yannis Dance (Wright).
- Comfortably Numb (Delicate sound of Thunder version).
- The show must go on.
- In the Flesh (live in Berlin).
- Run like Hell (The Wall live Waters solo).
- Waiting for the Worms / Stop (live in Berlin).
- Two Suns in the sunset.

^ As far as full albums go, none of the Floyd solo did anything as good as Pink Floyd themselves. Not even Waters with Amused to Death (which might be my favourite solo album from any of them). But most of them have killer songs anyway. I think one of the ones I like leas is actually Identity =( . However, Wet Dream does have some very beautiful moments, even if it is all mostly subdued. I think Broken China is very good, though... still somewhat subdued, and perhaps there are several songs that I really wouldn't want to hear outside the album, but as a whole listen it's very enjoyable. Gilmour's first might be rather disappointing for me too, with only a few somewhat good songs. I guess About Face is indeed better, but still patchy... however, it does have some of the best Floyd solo songs in Murder and Near the End (the live versions of these songs, and other ones from the album in genera, are for me much better... too bad they have only been released on VHS video... the concert should be re-released in DVD/CD format). On an Island is also rather subdued, and only has a pair of great songs by themselves, but it's also a very nice listen to put the whole album... specially in the live versions where it gains a bit more energy. Rattle that Lock is much better... perhaps not so much of a whole cohesive album thing, but for me easily Gilmour's best, and a good contender for the second spot for my favourite Floyd solo albums. Momentary Lapse is indeed good, and The Division Bell is actually among my favourite Floyd albums... Number 3 I think, just beneath Wish you Were Here and Animals.

Dellinger, those are interesting ideas. I'll def check those collections of song out.

Fictitious Sports is a great album. It's not very Floydian though, so it didn't really fit in with my concept.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was fun putting it all together.

I'd definitely be interested in hearing it. I do plan on making more "fake albums" like this when I get the time. I have a few other ideas floating around. I spent way more hours on this one than I originally planned to, haha.

I'll definitely share my other projects as they come. 

^ I do love the whole Animals, but my very favourite is Dogs, and that's got lot's of Gilmour... it was even, mostly, written by Gilmour, and has lot's of beautiful guitars. And I find it the other way around between Amused to Death and Division Bell. I really enjoy every single song from DB, while AtD has many songs that don't do much for me (even if it does have some really wonderful songs)... and there are moments in which I do wish Gilmour, of the whole of Floyd, had been with Waters to fix some of the songs, or some moments of songs (such as with What God Wants part 3... that one begs for a Gilmour solo). As for Momentary Lapse, I do feel some of it's moments are indeed a bit weaker, and my favourite songs from it I prefer on the Delicate Sound of Thunder versions (On the Turning Away and Yet Another Movie).

Yeah I actually considered putting together an Endless River/Division Bell album. The Division Bell is actually my personal favorite Floyd album. Amused to Death is good too, but I've always been more of a Gilmour fan.
