David Gilmour's Four Favourite Pink Floyd Songs

Without David Gilmour, Pink Floyd would not be close to the great band they were. Very well done David.

The voices of Gilmour and Wright together is something really special.

My adored late wife Moby loved Shine on You Crazy Diamond. I had her carried into the crematorium to it and as she was laid down, the iconic four note riff rang out. Maybe in some other dimension she could hear it.

Recently my 3 year old grandson listened to their music in my old truck that has a cassette player as we rode around. I knew he connected to the song when he asked me to stop talking so he could listen. That song was “Comfortably Numb”. That solo and background always makes me tear up. Hey, Mr Gilmour, Pink Floyd is forever.

The hype without answers was annoying so MS copilot provided the answer in 2 seconds.
1. Comfortably Numb – From The Wall (1979): This powerful ballad features Gilmour’s emotive vocals and an unforgettable guitar solo.
2. Shine On You Crazy Diamond – From Wish You Were Here (1975): A tribute to former band member Syd Barrett, this epic composition showcases Gilmour’s soulful guitar work.
3. Echoes – From Meddle (1971): A progressive rock masterpiece, “Echoes” demonstrates Gilmour’s ability to create mesmerizing soundscapes.
4. The Great Gig In The Sky – From The Dark Side of the Moon (1973): Although not a song he wrote, Gilmour’s guitar work and the haunting vocals in this track contribute to its brilliance.
5. Wish You Were Here” – Also from Wish You Were Here: This title track resonates with its poignant lyrics and Gilmour’s emotive guitar melodies.

In 1973 I moved to FL for business. Still just 22 y.o. I rented a beach apartment on Fort Myers Beach. I was standing there looking at my U-Haul trailer when two guys shouted out "hey, man...need some help?" Sure! Well help us finish this joint and we'll get you in your place. Right then and there I was introduced to Dark Side of the Moon. I. Was. Floored. Got move into the apartment, too.

The sound of David's guitar is just breathtaking....not overly complicated, just full of feel and emotion

[timw]

their sound is timeless thats why it continues to be popular it doesnt say 60s 70s 80 or 90s it will continue to live on

Echoes - My favorite all time Floyd track. It's perfection to my ears.

[SimonWallwork]

He picked 'Wish you were here', 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond', 'Comfortably Numb' and 'Echoes'. Not bad choices.

I first heard Pink Floyd when I was 14 years old, the song was Hey You (The Wall), and it literally stopped me in my tracks and I was hooked from that day. I have listened to them almost every day since (37 years later). My favourite song of all time is Comfortably Numb - From seeing them in Rotterdam in 1995 on the pulse tour, to seeing them several times since along with Waters solo tours. They have been and forever will be part of who I am. Thank-you David, Roger, Rick and Nick. xxxx

Pink floyd will never be forgotten. They're on the level of Beethoven, Mozart, Bach. Classic.

Pink Floyd. Soooo many great tracks. You don't just listen to one song as the albums as a whole take you on a journey. Timeless.

ECHOES is incredible. Hell it's an entire album side.
