I've always been a big fan of Fearless from Meddle. There's one station near me that plays it, 101.7; not sure where it's out of.

His name was ROGER Barrett, not Robert.

Reps for posting Dream Theater, easily the most talented band out there. Petrucci is one of the greatest ever, but no one can play Time like David Gilmour.

As for my favorite Pink Floyd songs, it is honestly hard to pick. In no particular order

Time
Echoes
Shine on Crazy Diamond
Wish you were here
Dogs
One of these days (A great live version where Nick Mason rocks it out)

So many good ones. Truly one of the greatest bands ever.

Have you heard the Van Morrison/Roger Waters one? It is on The Departed. It's pretty sweet.

PF is very hit or miss for me. Not one of my favorite bands, but the good songs are incredible. My favorites would be Hey You and Wish You Were Here. The first guitar solo of Comfortably Numb (although short) might be my favorite solo in any song though.
