Best Pink Floyd Songs
This Lens is dedicated to Pink Floyd, the best psychedelic rock band of all time. Actually, Pink Floyd is the best band of all time period. The list below contains some songs that everyone knows and some that are not as well known, but amazing nonetheless and in my opinion better than some of their more popular ones. This is the best of Pink Floyd!
My Personal Top 10
-
Time(Dark Side of the Moon 1973)
This song is probably my favorite Floyd track of all time. The lyrics, in are amazing and Gilmour's voice is phenomenal. Plus it features a great guitar solo. -
Childhood's End(Obscured by Clouds 1972)
This is one of those tracks that is a little known gem. Not too many people seem to know this track because it is from an album which did not gain much fame. Nonetheless, it is one of the greatest songs they made and is most definitely something any Pink Floyd fan should hear. -
Fat Old Sun(Atom Heart Mother 1970)
This is also a track which is not widely known. But once you hear it, you will fall in love with it if you appreciate Floyd. This track is very mellow, and has a great relaxing sound to it. David Gilmour has an incredible voice and this song demonstrates it to the fullest. -
Breathe in the Air(Dark Side of the Moon 1973)
The second track on Dark Side of the Moon and is one of the more popular Pink Floyd songs. This song is amazing, like most of the tracks on the album. -
Atom Heart Mother(Atom Heart Mother 1970)
Atom Heart Mother is the first track on the album and is quite long. It has pretty much no lyrics, but the sound and the instrumentals on this track are spectacular. The melody is great and this is my favorite non-vocal track. -
Shine on You Crazy Diamond(Wish You Were Here 1975)
Split across two tracks at the beginning and the end of the album, Shine on You Crazy Diamond is a tribute to Syd Barret. This track features a long insturmental buildup and then kicks in with amazing vocals. -
Echoes(Meddle 1971)
Another very long track by the band. This track has incredible lyrics at the beginning and the end. Great sounding, mellow track. The only thing I wish, is that there were more lyrics and less weird sounds in the middle of the song. But otherwise, still a must. -
Fearless(Meddle 1971)
I am not sure if I can categorize this track properly, but it sounds great. I never skip this track when I pop in the Meddle CD. -
Julia Dream(Relics 1971)
One of the more obscure Pink Floyd songs, but nonetheless a great mellow track. -
Green is the Colour(More 1969)
Another very mellow song. Very beautiful sound. Soft and relaxing. I only wish it was a bit longer.

- I see that as a connoisseur, you shy away from mega-hits like "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" which wasn't even on the list before I put it there. I have another well-hidden Pink Floyd gem for your enjoyment: "Not Now John" from "The Final Cut" - it's atypical Floyd, but amazingly good!

- Great post, I love all Pink Floyd, but I have always liked the Obscured By Clouds album the most because it was the truest to their blues band start. I love everything on this album and if you are not familiar with it you owe it to yourself to check it out.

- Two of my most all-time favorite Floyd albums were The Dark Side of the Moon and Animals. These two albums were awesome and they still sound so fresh even today! I never get tired of listening to them! I'll add this lens to the list of my Floyd favorites and I thank you for sharing this! By the way, you would also like to take a look at this site that offers cheap personal checks & you can even put some PF images on it! I got this idea from my wife who bought her own butterfly personal checks & she was the one who provided the pictures! anyway, thanks for the lens again & it earned another 5 stars from me!
My own top 10 PF songs (not in order):
1. Shine On, You Crazy Diamond 1 to 9
2. The Great Gig In The Sky
3. Comfortably Numb
4. One Of These Days
5. Dogs
6. Money
7. Young Lust
8. Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)
9. Sheep
10. Brain Damage
