Great musician, very floydian, surely many of us miss him. I have these two albums, and here there is a selection of tracks of each one of them.

WD = Wet Dream

BCH = Broken China

So choose two songs of each album as maximum.

Haven't heard Broken China for a long time, time to dig it out......
Love Wet Dream - fave track will always be Funky Deux.
I won't vote yet, but love the WD opener Mediterranean C from this list.

Haven't memorized the song titles so I don't know.

Both very good as a whole, though.

Holiday and Breakthrough. I prefer the live version of Breakthrough though, I think it is very special.
I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

There are many songs I enjoy, however, I'm not sure I can pick favourites here.

I agree with you, the live performance with Rick on vocals is better than the original. As you say it was a very special moment, and his voice is very floydian.

I also prefer the live version of Breakthrough. Actually, I never particularly liked the studio version, but when Gilmour invited Rick to play it with him, whith all the arrangements and the added Gilmour guitar and Dick Parry's sax (plus the backing vocals), the song was just about converted into a lost Pink Floyd song, and I really love how it sounds.
