Topic: Top 5 Pink Floyd Songs
Posted By: Psychedelic Paul
Subject: Top 5 Pink Floyd Songs
Date Posted: February 21 2020 at 12:48
I don't want to Meddle and steal Thief's Delicate Sound of Thunder, but in A Momentary Lapse of Reason, I've put together this one-off poll (inspired by Thief) in The Endless River of polls to determine the Top 5 songs of all time by Pink Floyd. Simply list your Top 5 Pink Floyd songs in order of preference and then I'll assign points to your listings as follows:-
 
1st song - 6 points
2nd song - 4 points
3rd song - 3 points
4th song - 2 points
5th song - 1 point
 
When all of the votes have come in and The Division Bell has finally tolled,  I'll total up the points and post a list on The Wall showing The Final Cut of the Top 5 favourite Pink Floyd Relics of all time. Smile
 
Here are my Top 5 Pink Floyd songs to kick-off with:-
 
1. Echoes (6 points)
2. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (4 points)
3. Atom Heart Mother (3 points)
4. Us and Them (2 points)
5. Comfortably Numb (1 point) 
 
If this poll vote proves to be popular, I'll be posting Top 5 song polls for many More major prog bands too, although who those bands might be are Obscured by Clouds like A Saucerful of Secrets on the Dark Side of the Moon at the moment. Smile
 
A special message to any Pink Floyd fans who may have missed out on this poll:- Wish You Were Here! Smile

1. Echoes
2. Dogs
3. Careful With That Axe, Eugene (from Relics)
4. Sheep
5. Comfortably Numb
 
The first three are definite, whereas the next two are tentative, with a few tracks that could go in these positions.

I think Echoes will win. But Dogs, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, and Atom Heart Mother will also perform strongly.

I found it hard to narrow down my choice to just five favourite Pink Floyd songs too, but I think if I'd made the list of choices any longer - like a Top 10 for instance - it would have made it really hard to decide which order to put the songs in. Smile

Echoes is best, the other are pretty much on one level for me. Actually all of Ummagumma's live album would qualify, another honorable mention goes to Let There Be More Light.

Can you possibly save Yes from top 5 polls as I planned to do top 20 in a month or two? :P
I think Echoes will solidify its position tomorrow, it comes up so often; even 4-5th place votes are worth much.

There's no reason why we can't both run a Yes poll, but if you want to do a Yes poll first, that's fine by me. Smile

All of my Top 5 polls for each artist will just be a single one-off poll with the same points system as this one, so the final result will probably be a different outcome anyway to your multi-vote polls. Smile

Echoes is quite good, but is twice as long as necessary. Others I like very much are One of These Days, Time, Comfortably Numb, Another Brick in the Wall (yes, yes) and the wonderful Scream thy Last Scream.
Also some more not so famous stuff like When the Tigers Broke Free, Julia Dream, The Nile Song, Ibiza Bar, Cirrus Minor or Let There Be more Light.

Funny thing is that Animals was always and still is a pretty boring album for me. There is one of it which was good when played live in 1975 as Raving and Drooling. But the album version kinda loses everything which made it work.
Even more boring is nearly everything after Waters left.

If Echoes is too long for you, you may prefer the abridged 10-minute version from Pompeii. Smile

That's the complete version actually, only in 2 parts.

I think it simply goes on, like many Floyd tracks, far too long. I would like it more if the ideas were more compressed, maybe so about 12 or 15 min at all. Would be still a long track.

Sometimes shorter is better.

Shine on benefits from being released in 2 parts. My vote goes actually for part 1, which does not really need the 2nd part to work, and is perfect as it is. The 2nd part is in itself also good, but not as great as the first part.
But of course, I know they belong together.

The first part of Echoes, like in the Pompeii vid, feels on the other hand incomplete.
I prefer the live versions of Embryo to Echoes, even if that could be shortened too by 1 - 3 min. It is incredible that they never put Embryo on an album, especially as Atom Heart Mother and Meddle have some poor tracks on them. The 2nd BBC live version of Fat Old Sun is (despite being overlong too) so much better than the studio version. They could heave made a great album in 1970/71, instead of 2 flawed ones.

I'm more surprised that Atom Heart Mother is in the top five. Echoes is great but if feels like a completely different band made it. Floyd is one band that you could split their discography (up to 72 and then after) but probably best not to re-open that particular can of worms!

Didn't know that thanks. It has lot of chromatic descending chord movements so redolent of Syd's writing that I presumed he had a hand in the composition.

I think most of the votes have come in by now from the PA jury, so by way of saying thank you to everyone who took part in this fun poll, here are the videos for the six winning Pink Floyd songs in the current Top 5.....
 
1. Echoes (89 points)
 
 
 
2. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (88 points)
 
 
3. Dogs (75 points)
 
 
4. Time (52 points)
 
 
5. Comfortably Numb (40 points)
 
 
5. Atom Heart Mother (40 points)
 
 
 
The poll was a very close-run thing in the end, with Echoes winning the poll by just 1 point, although that could still change. Smile

^ I find it so funny, not to mention redundant that you are posting videos for one of the most famous bands ever. 

Sorry man, but I just could not help it... LOL

Well, at least you found it amusing. The videos are there if you want to watch them, but if you've  seen them many times already, you can just skip right on by this thread and go on to the next one. I'm going to watch all of the Pink Floyd videos I just posted anyway, even if no one else does. Smile
