Childhoods End. The best song pre DSotM days in my humble opinion.

That's a great choice. The whole of Obscured By Clouds is pretty underrated, but that song specifically. Another underrated song from that album is Burning Bridges.

I agree. Obscured by Clouds is very underrated, plenty of good radio songs there, ie Free Four, Wot's... uh the deal

I'd love to hear something that's not Money or ABITW pt. 2 get radio play, but unfortunately the corporate programmers who decide what we listen to don't really take that into consideration.

Australian radio isn't too bad. I've heard Comfortably numb a few times. Time gets played. Wish you Were Here gets a fair amount of air play as with Another Brick in the Wall 2 and Money. I've even heard Free Four but that was a local radio station and the DJ was a self affirmed Pink Floyd freak. I'd stiil prefer to here ABITW2 than Lady Bloody Gaga though.

Oh and Learning to Fly gets the odd look in. All very radio friendly songs I know but it's better than nothing

Sadly in the States you'd need to listen to satellite radio like XM in order to really hear what you want and get a more diverse selection of music from one artist. The "classic rock" stations around here play only Money and ABITW pt. 2.....maybe you'll hear WYWH or Comfortably Numb on a special end-of-the-year countdown or something, but that would be the exception.

Now contrast that with Led Zeppelin who has about 14 or 15 songs played on the radio regularly. Which is a shame because they overplay the poorer songs (IMO) and don't play the better songs enough.

Corporal Clegg has the most bitchin' kazoo solo of all time and you can't go wrong with Nick Mason singing lead vocals. I also think it has Floyd's funniest lyrics.

The Dogs of War is another one. I love Dave's voice and some of the lyrics are very haunting (while the other being quite hackneyed). The ominous music in the background sends chills up my spine to. I also believe it has the best saxophone solo the band's done.

What Do You Want From Me is my favorite song on TDB and I don't understand why it doesn't get more love. The first time I heard, I immediately thought of Have a Cigar. It's the most classic Floyd sounding song on the album. The guitar playing is fantastic.

I agree, that any song featuring Nick singing and David playing a kazoo is automatic win. WDYWFM is a great song, but if I had to rank it amongst the other songs on TDB, it would be nearer the middle.

Everybody hates Sysyphus and it's great.

The last 10 years or so in milwaukee, we've definately seen the Pink Floyd catalog expanded on our local stations. The local "rock" stations would regularily play Money, ABITWP2, CN & RLH. Our oldest Classic Rock station started around 1985. WYWH was the only song they played. Now we hear most of Dark Side, WKLH, and 4-5 songs from The Wall as well as LTF, One Slip, OTTA. Sadly, absolutely nothing from Div Bell.
