My list, in order, but I do battle with myself.
The Thin Ice
Mother
Young Lust
Comfortably Numb
I know everyone will pounce on me, but bring it! We can't disagree on what an awesome album it is!

(33,688 posts)and has been since the first time I heard the album back in 1979. Gilmour's solo is the bomb. Young Lust is probably my #2. Seeing Roger perform the whole thing on the 30th anniversary tour was the climax of nearly 40 years of Floyd worship for me. Hands down the greatest arena show EVER!

A tab of acid and some JBL's with giant woofers parked on either side of your head and that song sounds like Satan coming for you.

+1 for favorite song on the album, whatever it's called.

(17,086 posts)Gilmour's guitar solo on Comfortably Numb does it for me.

(27,993 posts)Walters tones it back quite a bit and Gilmore's solo is better...

(17,086 posts)I like the video I posted better, but if I closed my eyes, I might agree with you.

(41,986 posts)There's something so stunningly creepy about that song. As a shrink I find it pretty compelling.

dogknob
(2,431 posts)Only because it succeeds in being THE MOST DOWNER, DEPRESSING rock song of all time. Shit, it's worse than "Dogs."

(5,909 posts)But nobody has The Thin Ice but me?
I love the lyrics, and how it starts out with Gilmour singing then Waters comes in.
