I cannot decide between three, but you can see what my musical affiliations lie .. Comfortably Numb, Hey You or Welcome to the Machine .. sheer musical brilliance (arguably achieved by flawless technical abilities).

I'm different that way Tin .. I badly want to listen and collect them on the original vinyl format. I've heard some of them in that format, and its a truly unique experience, a CD just doesnt do justice to Floyd, its too squeaky clean. But I dont have a turntable, and I dont have the vinyl versions of it

Favorite Song is "No Son of Mine" by Genesis, but I did find something interesting that my most played song is "Why Can't I?" by Liz Phair on Itunes. I use Party Shuffle mostly to listen to my songs and I usually hit the refresh button a few times to get the songs I want to hear at that given time and not to get the same songs over and over again. Here is my current Top 17 and the reason for 17 is so when I decide to burn a CD I can do this without worrying about space needed

I've heard of Roger Waters but haven't listened to any of his stuff. I have some blues stuff of Clapton when he played with John Mayall that's pretty good. Gotta transfer it from cassette tho. I'm still transferring some of my vinyl to CD's or hdd storage. Got a nice turn table to do that.

Sure you have PR...He's the lyrical genius behind most of Pink Floyd's memorable work. The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, was played in its demo form to the other members of Pink Floyd way back in 1978. He gave two choices to the band, 'The Wall or Pro's, the one they didn't choose, Roger explained, he would pursue as a solo record.

(Slaps forehead) Doh! Guess I missed that one. Got some Floyd in the collection too. Even went to a couple of laser shows at our local planetarium that was done with The Wall and Darkside of the Moon.

The reason why I mentioned it is that its Eric Clapton on guitars with Roger Waters. It's amazing - hence the suggestion. Sorry I shouldve mentioned it the first time around.

Yes!! I could not agree with you even more!!! Although, I think the best song of all time is "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.

Pros and Cons of Hitchiking is an excellent album by Waters!

Too many songs to choose from, but stairway to heaven is one of the best. Also have to agree with the pink floyd songs. Statica, i agree, pink floyd sounds the best on a turntable. I have The wall, Dark side of the moon, and Wish you were here on records and the sound is great, especially the beging of "Wish you were here".
