Ultimate Floyd!

THE CHALLENGE? As we revisit The Wall, can we also compile a playlist of 30 tracks that sum up the very best of Pink Floyd? Of course we can. It's easy. Until you start thinking about it...
However, after a deranging night of playing every Floyd album back to back, selecting favourite tunes and arranging them in chronological order, we were pretty pleased. Behold! A celebration of four decades of sonic tension and adventure.
Doubtless there will be those willing to debate my selection - "Wot? No, Money!?" you rage. "Or See Emily Play?!" "Or One Of These Days?!" Well, no. None of those. Nor is there any live material - although swift re-spins of Pulse and Is There Anybody Out There? during the compiling process revealed merits your compiler had perhaps underestimated on release.
Anyhow, this playlist is a personal selection, and the reasons for inclusion are listed below. Disagreements are best dealt with by simply compiling your own Pink Floyd Playlist. In the meantime, here's one man's view...

Not a bad top 30 by the world's greatest ever band, but these are the changes I'd make:
Out:
'Let there be more light'
'Nile Song'
'Free Four'
'Have a cigar'
'Dogs'
'Sheep'
'Another brick in the wall (part 2)'
'Mother'
'Goodbye Blue Sky'
'Hey You'
'When the tigers broke free'
In:
'Scarecrow'
'See Emily Play'
'Grantchester meadows'
'If'
'One of these days'
'Us and them'
'Eclipse'
'Poles apart'
'Take it back'
'Coming back to life'
'High hopes'
Works for me :)
