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.

Nice what next he picks his favorite pot noodle flavors? Or how about his favorite money for old fucking rope articles on long past relevant musicians. What a fucking cock.
