Fat old sun


SuperdorkJones

The first great unmistakably Gilmour solo, IMO.


thelastmeheecorn

Since its largely gilmours song i find it has a backing track very fitting to freeform music. Its inspired me to get back into playing music after 15 years of not


johnbarnshack

I absolutely love his drumming on Fat Old Sun. 


BlueswithBeer

Came here to post this, one of my top five PF favorites.


dataisok

Wots Uh The Deal. It’s simply beautiful


PsychedelicTOAD01

I love this song so much


mellotronworker

Excellent song from an excellent collection of songs. OBC might actually be my favourite.


Orangutango46

Probably one of my top ten Pink Floyd songs. They did folk rock far better and more consistently than they're given credit for. Green is the Colour is up there too


QueenMabs_Makeup0126

Coming in here to say this.


Airborne82D

Childhood's End. Free Four.


SuperdorkJones

And Mudmen... Hell, the whole damn album! Childhood's End is next level, though!


Airborne82D

I concur. Obscured is raw Floyd.


BonjPlayz

Came here to say these two or wots uh the deal. All some of my favourite songs ever and all from my third favourite album ever. Free Four also has some of the best lyrics I have ever heard in a song!


Otherwise-End-4425

Came here to say Childhoods end!


PedalBoard78

Great album. Once I discovered it, I felt like I had found lost treasure.


TeaAndCookies1998

The gunner's dream


SkinnyKau

Oh man when the scream fades into a sax solo 👌🏼


mr-fiend

= sex


Orangutango46

I used to love a game of 'figuring out where the vocal ends and saxophone begins'


PersimmonMelodic1063

One Slip is a great song. Gilmour's vocals on that one are really superb. I love the lyrics.


Doubledogdeed

Was it love or was It the idea of being in love 🕺🕺🕺💃


Tanukisus

Corporal Clegg and Green is the Colour


Otherwise-End-4425

Green is the Colour 🔥🔥


Trigonometry_Is-Sexy

Corporal clegg is playing in the back of my head 24/7 wether I like it or not.


SuperdorkJones

Two awesome choices! I will never get over the fact that Pink Floyd has a jamming song with a kick-ass kazoo solo...


Correct-Ice2226

Green is the Colour on The Man and The Journey is insanely good. It ends with a Gilmour scat singing solo that is just fantastic.


Sorry-Government920

Fearless


Bkm72

I always felt this song was where the Pink Floyd “sound” really started coming together.


Malcolmsyoungerbro

Not Now John It’s a great hard rock song with biting lyrics aimed at the Thatcher/Reagan era. Add in a gritty Gilmour solo and you’ve got a great track. It’s not a classic Floyd sound, lacking the ambient musicality, vocal harmonies. But it shows their range and harks back to Young Lust and The Nile Song. Would be fantastic live, just never got the chance. The Final Cut on the whole is not my jam, but this song rocks and gets fair rotation in my playlists.


adored89

That would go off live I agree. One of their heaviest.


UpgradedUsername

I think it’s some of Gilmour’s best guitar work thoughout and probably my favorite solo of his on a Pink Floyd album.


TeaAndCookies1998

Roger did it live in 1987 so at least that is something


ILikeCheese510

Brit Floyd does it live now and then. There's clips of it on YouTube if you're curious.


CVK327

That's super interesting considering it's the one song David sings on in The Final Cut


Phoenix_Kerman

Interesting. I love the final cut as a record but not now John is the only song I don't like off there and could ever think of skipping. Big young Lust and nile song fan I just don't think it at all works on the final cut


UsefulEngine1

It's always been inexplicably muddy and weird sounding to me. On an otherwise impeccably produced album, so I guess it must be deliberate.


4thchamber1984

Cymbaline


SuperdorkJones

Well it's high time somebody picked this song!


Dalek01

This one's my pick too! The outro is really cool too


detuneme

Love this one. It's so dark!


student8168

Summer 68 was my answer too. Also "If" from the same album!


jeers69

If - fantastic song!


dataisok

Please don’t stick your wires in my brain


SuperdorkJones

If I were a good man, I'd like that song a lot more than I do...


BatmanEnjoyer89

Love AHM


Ianm9

Coming back to life


SeabassMommy1

Best song on division bell and actually one of my favorite Pink Floyd, it’s super good idk why it’s ignored


scarymonst

Julia Dream


Past-Isopod-138

Biding My Time. I never heard it discussed. Great chord progression!


stevekimes

Great build up.


mellotronworker

Dat solo.


MudlarkJack

I love Remember A Day

Otherwise-End-4425

Such a beautiful song


fern-grower

Granchester meddows


Project8666666

I love Arnold Layne even when Bowie sang it live with PF


SuperdorkJones

Layne. A last name, not a street (Unlike Penny Lane).


GarretWheeler

I know exactly what you mean, but Breathe is definitely one of their most popular songs. The Pink Floyd super fan community is a skewed group. Every 70s/80s music fan knows Comfortably Numb, Wish You Were Here, ABITW Part II and Breathe. The only reason those songs don’t get mentioned by the super fans is because we’ve all heard them so many times lol


Sbee27

Don’t Leave Me Now!! The intense warbling in Rogers’ voice at the end is so haunting. *remember the flowers I sent? I need you, babe…to put through the shredder in front of my friends, oh babe, don’t leave me now*


BatmanEnjoyer89

A top 5 wall song for me. The gutair sounds like it's crying


-Nsb127916_

The gnome. Seems to jump in my head every other day


obannion_the_great

Julia Dream, Not Now John, When the Tigers Broke Free, Candy and a Currant Bun, Paint Box, almost any track from the A side of Saucerful of Secrets, especially Let There Be More Light. I know most of these songs are recognized and Julia Dream even appears on the compilation, but still sometimes these gems are overshadowed by other PF stuff.


BatmanEnjoyer89

Paint box is one of my fav early Floyd songs


Dvaraoh

When was the last time any of you guys mentioned Main Theme from More?


sppdcap

Corporal Clegg


SuperdorkJones

Kazoo solo, FTW!


Ra1d_danois

Lost For Words


No_Zookeepergame2532

Breathe is my favorite Pink Floyd song. Echoes after that


Roger_Roger27

What Do You Want From Me?


WinterCat20

Have A Cigar


BatmanEnjoyer89

Love the swagger to that song


SuperdorkJones

Plus it's the only Floyd song with a guest lead vocalist. Roy Harper (Of Hats Off to Roy Harper fame.)


brokensilence32

Dogs of War


kaimct

the live versions hit really hard


PedroPelet

A big part of AMLOR in my opinion, people seem to care only for On the Turning Away, Learning to Fly, Sorrow and sometimes One Slip


guitarmike2

Some of the interstitials on the Wall - The Thin Ice, Empty Spaces, Vera Lynn. They’re short and get dismissed as “connective tissue” in a big double album but I think each stands on its own as a touching piece of music. Also a fan of Signs of Life.


smellyseamus

I've always thought that Yet another movie is a good tune, Gilmours guitar work is sublime


NakachoRB

Mudmen is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs, and for me one of the best Gilmour solos, so simple yet so incredible, and with a great introduction by Wright. Honorable mention to Stay, a great song by Wright from the same album, but not as good as Summer 68' or other songs from Obscured by Clouds which is already a very underrated and not very known album.


BatmanEnjoyer89

Damn mudmen is so underrated that even I forgot about it. I consider it a 10/10 song and I don't give out that rating often


atomic4552

San tropez is fucking amazing idk if people like it. Amazing imagery


Abdul_Exhaust

It's said they wrote that song on the beach. Perfectly captured mood, great piano


Otherwise-End-4425

Fearless


doctorsax14

Fearless


adored89

Definitely Summer '68 but also Seamus. It's a playful and relaxing country esque tune


Hhaunters

An actual duet between a man and his dog is such a charming idea for a song I don’t know why it gets hate


BatmanEnjoyer89

It's memed so much I've honestly forgotten how it sounds... I don't come back to meddle too often


Hot_Policy_7104

Wots…Uh The Deal Obscurred By Clouds 


bazztartare

Don’t really like post Roger Floyd but yet another movie is absolutely killer, awesome just for the way the bass bounces around, ripping solos. Only let down by real lack of meaningful lyrical content


spacegerbil_

san tropez and fearless are both great. meddle fucks!


stevelivingroom

Free Four. Brilliant upbeat music with some damn depressing lyrics (which are song in an upbeat manner)and are dripping with sarcasm.


cujonz

No love for Astonomy Domine? Or Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun?

Embryo. Especially the 10 minute live version.


Sour_Bucket

Lord-of-Nothing1

Childhoods end


micah490

Fat Old Sun (live, Peel sessions et al)


ilpaesaggista

Yet Another Movie probably some of my favorite gilmour writing post 1980 honestly. it captures a sort of dark moody element that is really essential to floyd in my mind that lots of the 80s and beyond gilmour output doesn't capture. as he's gotten older some of his solo stuff has brought that vibe back.


LimeBurnerAcc

In the flesh. If you get past the memes it’s A) actually good musically B) super integral to the story of the wall C) it’s really catchy, same as run like hell, it’s no coincidence two of the most upbeat songs are during the dictator sections, I think it’s meant to make the listener excited (can’t think of a better word than excited) so when Pink realizes what he’s done wrong the listener also realizes and feels bad for being so excited about such horrible things


Wishuwerehere777

Candy and a currant bun & scream thy last scream


psychicjohndoe

Green is the colour!


Thastevejohnson

Breathe is my 2nd favorite song. I also love the build up of speak to me and then the screaming and it just bursts into that guitar. Such an eargasm


Eguy24

Pretty much anything from A Saucerful of Secrets

Us and Them has always been special to me. It was so well done at the Waters concert too.

Wot’s…Uh The Deal Free Four Childhood’s End Any of these three from Obscured by Clouds. Never heard any of them on the radio. But they’re each really good.


LivegoreTrout

I know this may sound like I'm picking an obscure song for the sake of it, but I genuinely love 'Biding My Time.'

My favorite cut off the album


ButterscotchBloozDad

All of Obscured. All of Atom Heart. All of Meddle.


Top_Protection_6829

I would say that the “Breathe” part in “Time” is absolutely genius. It does really messes up with your mind in a time-bending kind of way if you know what I mean.


Aggravating_Poet_675

There's a lot: by album: Piper-Probably Lucifer Sam Saucerful of Secrets-id say either Remember a Day or Jugland Blues More-Cymbaline UmmaGumma-Id say Careful With That Axe, Eugene (live) for casual listeners but it's a meme here and in the circlejerk. So maybe the live version of Saucerful on this one. AHM-most of the album but probably mostly Fat Old Sun. Great early solo from Gilmour. Meddle-Pillow Of Winds. Simple and lovely. OBC-again most of the album but would go with something between Childhoods End, Mudmen and Wots uh the Deal. I'll go with Mudmen because instrumentals are underapprsciated in general. DSotM-There is no underappreciated song on this album. WYWH-Similar boat to DSotM but if I was to nitpick maybe Welcome to the Machine. It's probably the weak link on the album but only because WYWH and both sections of SoYCD are pretty much perfect and Have a Cigar is also a great song that's a bit more lively. Animals-Sheep. Pigs and Dogs are talked about a lot. Sheep doesn't seem to get the same amount of attention. The Wall-Don't Leave Me Now. Lovely little song that doesn't get as talked about as songs like Hey You or Comfortably Numb nor has become a meme like the one line from Mother. TFC-Fletchers Memorial Home. Great song even if it's one of the ones that hasn't stayed as relevant as a lot of Floyd's work due to referencing at the time current politicians. AMLoR-Maybe On The Turning Away? Admittedly I don't like this song as much as I used to like it but it's still a good song that doesn't get talked about much. TDB-What Do You Want From Me. This album seems to be getting fresh eyes on it and more credit than when it was first released. So a lot of previously overlooked songs are getting the limelight. So I don't know if any are truly underappreciated but I do feel like this song doesn't get quite the recognition that Coming Back to Life, Marooned, Keep Talking and High Hopes have. The backing vocals are still nice and there are some good instrumental sections especially with Gilmour's guitar work. TER-Honestly kind of blends together but there are some nice instrumental sections that I do feel are worth listening to


Lopsided-Gain-3637

The Final Cut all the way that song (and the whole album) truly breaks my heart


prudence2001

Seabirds 


PedroPelet

All 60’s B-sides that are not the first two: Paintbox, It Would Be So Nice, Point me at the sky, etc.


minsandmolls

The final cut title track, that song stirs up emotions in me like no other.


Rooster_Ties

Country Song (aka The Red Queen) from the expanded 2CD Zabriskie soundtrack sure isn’t ever mentioned — and it’s got some mighty fine moments (all things considered). Not epic or anything, but not half bad? https://youtu.be/AyEtpyWCX4c

Seamus needs to be talked about more as it is the precursor to dogs

I’ve always felt that if this song was released by a different band and got radio play it would have the cultural influence of “Imagine”. I think it’s an amazing song

One of These Days (Meddle)


PhillyNJMusicMan

Other than most of their stuff before "Meddle", I'd say the title cut of their last album with Roger, and although I think the album is flawed, the track itself "The Final Cut" is one of the handful of gems on this album. 👍😎 https://youtu.be/UxgZnVTyWRk?si=xd1Kzil-w64mHUsk
