Your "top Pink Floyd songs" thread: an ongoing project
I hope this hasn't been done recently, apologies if it has.

I thought it would be interesting to see what the top Pink Floyd songs were, based on all your votes. If this thread catches on, I'll post the results in a month. If more people show up and vote after that, I could so periodic updates as time goes on.

So anyway, not a lot of rules or anything. Only that there should be a minimum of 10 on your list. Maximum is 25. And I guess you don't have to rank them, but it would really help for at least the top few to be ranked. Ideally they'd all be ranked, but I understand that sometimes you just can't decide.

A couple notes too: Be sure you clarify which "In the Flesh" you mean if you include one/both. (Either question mark at the end or no). Same with Shine On You Crazy Diamond. And for now I'll count The Happiest Days of our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall pt 2 as one song, just cause it seems to make more sense that way. I could change that though if you guys disagree with me on that.

Here's mine to start:

1. Wish You Were Here
2. Comfortably Numb
3. Shine on you crazy diamond (1-5)
4. Dogs
5. Time
6. In the Flesh?
7. Pigs (3 different ones)
8. Echoes
9. Astronomy Domine
10. The Great Gig in the sky

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, so that when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Actually, I set the max to 25, so they could even add 5 more and it'd still count.

I just couldn't do more than 10, too hard to decide

And I noticed a mod moved this to the right section. My bad, I clicked the wrong board link, so thanks for fixing that Rolleyes
