This debate was settled in 1983. My kid brother and I (he was 18) were smoking large amounts of bud and listening to Pink Floyd. I posed the same question....Which PF song is their best? He paused for 20-30 seconds and said "Whichever one you're listening to at the time". 40 yrs later, we both agree that this is still an accurate assessment.

I believe "Time" is Pink Floyd's best song. It's certainly the most profound. How you relate to it only becomes stronger the older you get. It's absolute truth in its words. The music used to tell its message is also quite powerful and sublime at the same time. I also think it's David Gilmour's best guitar solo.

[fcofrt]

In my opinion, it’s Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The way that the whole band harmonize to tribute Syd is perfect.

[CarlosHuerta]

IMO Echoes is the peak of music, 23 minutes of pure perfection in your ears, a hole experience that you would never forget

[kpcallahan]

It's "Time", plain and simple. It is profound, beautifully structured, and lyrically magical with a magnificent guitar solo. A work of art from the amazing intro through the "Breathe" reprise.

[eddiepierce]

Shine On You Crazy Diamond had the most profound effect on me. It spells out the pain of the ‘loss’ of a dear friend in metaphorical but stark lyrics. Masterful writing.

[PsychoticSmith]

Echoes is probably their greatest song. It set the stage and template for everything that followed and was the moment when they really figured out where they wanted to go.

[brucehikmet]

"Shine on you Crazy Diamond" is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable song structures ever created by Pink Floyd, although it might slightly lose its intensity towards the end. As an ardent listener of Pink Floyd for four decades, this track holds a special place in my heart and is unquestionably my ultimate favorite.

[danbardos]

Echoes from Pompeii is my all time favorite. I love the way that song reverses itself. Never heard anything quite like it before and it just had a lasting impression on me.

[WHOAnesto]

Echoes is my all-time favorite song from any band ever. It has it all.

[MsCosmosnut]

I could never pick a favourite Pink Floyd song. There are too many equally brilliant masterpieces. Just too many. ❤

[KeithGlover-xuhv]

Wish you were here, Will always be my favorite. My wife passed recently and we were both fans of Pink Floyd and I can not get through that song without thinking of her.

[mgmlioness]

Great Gig in the Sky is my favorite. The singer was told to sing how she thought it might feel like to experience death. Most times, when I listen to it, I end up in tears or close to it. What a brilliant idea they had with that one

[michellebowers]

Wish You Were Here still gives me chills all these years later.

[SeenRed]

For me, it's Comfortably Numb. So many of their tracks are on my all-time favorites list...but Comfortable Numb is, IMHO a total work of art!

[erickabsrick]

Definitely the best song of Pink Floyd is Echoes, what a wonderful experience! ❤

[williamhenning]

It's Time of course. A universal song that grows more profound with every second that passes.

[DancerOfClouds]

I have always loved: “On the Turning Away” which I think as one of the most underrated PF songs ever. Another awesome song is Sorrow, both from a Momentary Lapse of Reason

[fjcrod]

Comfortably Numb, is just an out of this world musical experience. I've been listening to it for forty plus years and never tire of it. Gives me goosebumps every single time. A truly brilliant song. So ethereal and beautiful.

This song (Us & Them) is THE most impactful LIVE musical moment of my life. I was 16, in 1988 and I slept out overnight at the mall for Pink Floyd tickets for their show at Veterans Stadium in Philly in 1988. I got floor seats in section AA, but as someone who is was incredibly short then (and now) I couldn't see anything since everyone was standing on their seats. So I went up to a higher level hoping to find a seat I could see from, when a nice couple said they had an open seat in the front row of the 2nd level. When the chorus of Us & Them hit and all those lights circling the screen turn towards the audience and shine bright white...it was just such a moving moment. I will never, ever forget it. Best concert I've ever seen.
