 Topic: Pink Floyd intro

That was really tough, as part 1 of Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of my all time favorite intros, but in terms of introducing an album, Dark Side of the Moon's Speak to Me is probably better. I gave the vote to Wish You Were Here, though.

I'm liking Meddle right now so I'll go for that. Who wouldn't be fascinated by those opening moments of One of These Days? Plus, it's the most exciting bass work they can ever expect to hear from Waters. But beyond all that it vies with Animals as the best Floyd work all around. My humble opinion.

Animals starts out very seemingly inoccent and lovable, but jumps into DOGS. Love it.

I must say, even though the intro from Wish you where here is awesome...thouse heart beats from The dark side of the moon surprised me so much the first time I listen to them, so TDSOTM it is

Cluster one always was a personal favorite...the "dialogue" between the piano and the wailing guitar is very moving in my opinion. But very very very close second is WYWH with Rick Wright's career highlight in SOYCD. Honorable mentions to Meddle and The Wall!

'Wish you were here' without a doubt. The intro to 'Shine on..' is incredible. Simple, yet superbly atmospheric. I'll never forget experiencing that live.

Definately Wish You Were Here... absolutely amazing!

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Its got to be WYWH, but I love the intro to DSOTM as well. On Animals, my personal favourite Floyd album, the intro to Dogs is great but it's preceeded by "Pigs on the Wing" which is rather dour.
