WAY TOO MUCH Momentary Lapse/Division Bell stuff (5 songs counting both) and only one song from Saucerful of Secrets, nothing from Atom Heart Mother and only one song from Animals. An edited version of Dogs wouldn't have hurt. but really, Sorrow? High Hopes? get the hell out of here. get rid of that and throw on Have a Cigar or something. Learning to Fly and Keep Talking are more then enough from that era of Floyd. there are much more essential things for a collection like this that should have been included. and where the hell was RUN LIKE HELL?

yeah, that comp was disappointing. i also didn't like the weird fading into and out of songs thing they did. i know they did it often on albums, but when you're jumbling their catalogue together, it was way too jarring. i also hated that they put an edited down echoes on there. that song belongs in all its 24 minutes of glory. there did seem to be a few weak choices as well.

Maybe throw in another Syd song or two, Fearless, Us & Them, Have A Cigar, Pigs (Three Different Ones), and/or Mother to round things off.
Anything after the Wall should just be forgotten.
I like that song too. but it has no place on a disc called "the best of Pink Floyd"

"If" is a great chill song, and "Summer of '68" should have been a single.

Yay entire wish you were here on it. WYWH is their best album IMO.
And after that The Wall but I think you should see The Wall in it's entirety and not as 26 invidual songs. With exception from Comfortably Numb, In The Flesh?, and Hey You
I'll Hold The Pain... Release...

Great tune. I have some great live versions of it.

Also, come on....the Best of was a way for younger folks to get into Pink Floyd...and any self-respecting Floyd fan listens to the entire CD...not just the "hit songs". They were a true album band if there ever was one.

I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I dont want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know Im alive.
