they don’t need no thought control
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
Pink Floyd songs
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs we’re also
going with the classic Floyd lineup so
while a momentary lapse of reasons
learning to fly is one of the greatest
songs of all time you won’t find it on
this list
number ten hey you
as one of the walls many tracks
revolving around a disaffected musician
named pink
heyyou follows the characters efforts to
be reconnected with society
unfortunately the wall of the album’s
title prevents his success
comprising vocals by both Gilmore and
Watters the four and a half minute track
is one of the album’s highlights and
captures Pink’s struggle with its
poignant and desperate atmosphere
number nine money
it was thanks in large part to this top
20 single that the Dark Side of the Moon
topped the Billboard Top LPS and tapes
chart in the early 1970s distinguishing
itself with a jangly intro made up of
the sounds of coins cash registers and
more money also features Gilmore’s
memorable guitar soloing and a bluesy
Saxon
the radio favorite helped its parent
album become one of history’s
highest-grossing records number eight
dogs this 17 minute long tune had Pink
Floyd’s Lennon prog rock blues rock and
hard rock and experimenting with guitar
chords both waters and Gilmour take
turns singing lyrics that like in the
cutthroat business world to the lives
lived by dogs
in this way it fits right in with its
parent albums theme of critiquing
society and politics Richard Wright’s
keyboard playing also helps to enhance
the songs move
number seven echoes
credited to all of Pink Floyd’s members
this avant-garde piece from their sixth
effort helped transition the band from
psychedelic to progressive rockers
thanks to its length musical effects and
high concentration of instrumental
passages echoes is the ideal showcase
for the band’s many talents and musical
evolution so it’s no wonder its metal
standout trip
number six brain damage Eclipse
since the last two songs off the Dark
Side of the Moon bleed into each other
and are often played one after the other
on the radio we’ve decided to bundle
them together for this entry
inspired by the downward mental spiral
of ex-singer sid barett brain damage
displays Pink Floyd’s softer side while
Eclipse brings volume levels up a notch
with its memorable melody
number five time
with a lengthy opening section featuring
the all-too-familiar sound of
instruments used to keep time this
single off the Dark Side of the Moon is
one of the best examples of Wright and
Gilmore’s harmonized vocals it quickly
became a radio staple and helped Floyd
sell over fifty million units of their
eighth record
aside from its many appearances of pop
culture time is also frequently covered
by other artists
number four shine on you crazy diamond
pink floyd– paid homage to their former
bandmate Syd Barrett with this track
found on wish you were here
despite being split into two parts on
the album the tune doesn’t lose any of
its strength or appeal as it gives each
member a chance to shine

guitar playing ric reitz keyboards
waters bass gills or Nick Mason’s
efforts on the skins
number three another brick in the wall
part two this waters pen track is the
second of three songs titled another

use of a school choir
number two comfortably numb
it was with this prog rock and hard rock
number that Pink Floyd insured fans
weren’t comfortably numb to their music
they may have been known for
introspective lyrics studio
experimentation and effects-heavy
extravagant shows but their sound
