    I've always loved Comfortably Numb, though Dogs is probably my favorite overall.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    I'm with you here. But, you can't go wrong with the whole ANIMALS album. I saw Roger Waters last month and they played SHEEP. Very good.

    Im glad to see a few others mention Fearless. I only recently heard it for the first time, and it's been on a constant spin lately.

    I also love shine on you crazy diamond.

    Yes, Fearless is a favorite of mine.

    For an underrated gem, how about "Summer of '68"?

    I really like Wish You Were Here and Have a Cigar but my favorite has to be Comfortably Numb.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    greatest post I've ever read BinFrog....I thought I was the only person alive who loved Summer '68! Fearless is great too!


    however, as far as a single greatest studio recording, my vote goes to Time. It's perfect in every way. I prefer the Pompeii version of Echoes or I would have given it up to that.

    The Nile Song...in my top 5 for sure!

    Voivod did a really decent and faithful version of it on their album "The Outer Limits". Check it out if you get a chance.

    big fan of When The Tigers Broke Free

    also like Wish You Were Here, See Emily Play, Mother, Comfortably Numb, Echoes, etc...this list could go on and on and on...

    I love High Hopes too. It was an important song to me at one point in my life so I'll always rate it as one of my favorite Floyd songs. I also love Comfortably Numb cuz that song is unbelievable. I couldn't pick one song off DSOTM so I would say the whole album besides it's all like one song anyway.

    Dogs - My favorite by far. I really wish Roger had played this on his recent tour.

    I love Animals aswell.. if you ever get a chance check out Les Claypool and the Frog Brigade's live cover of the entire album!

    Frogs Vol. 2 i think is the album

    i agree. the whole album is great, but this song in particular is my favorite. my dad bought me this album when i was about 15, i've been hooked ever since then. i get so excited everytime i see battersea powerplant when i'm in london, cause i reminds me of the cover, which was great as well.
