I see the argument for their earlier work to be represented in the list. They definitely helped to influence a subgenre of psychedelica, but I'm not sure if there's any one song that is deserve of top ten.


How can "Another Brick In The Wall" be anywhere besides #1? Its their most popular and acclaimed song.


Popular? Maybe. Acclaimed? No way.

Wish You Were Here takes that title I think, really weird to see it on number 7 on Ixcjvvl's list, then again that list is all kinds of wrong

I think that Wish You Were Here could be above Echoes pretty easily.

Another Brick may have high popularity according to charts, but I don't think it beats out songs like Time, Money, and Comfortably Numb in terms of lasting popularity/cultural importance.

3. Shine On You Crazy Diamonds

This is a pretty good list. I would certainly prefer it to the present one.

I'm not sure that an artist that only has about 10 songs needs to have a top 10 list, especially with only 2 or 3 of them being of any significance. You could probably put the last 5 in any order. But if they do get a list, surely "Hunger Strike" is their biggest song.

Since Stryder was a troll and has been banned, here's my revision list for Pink Floyd again so we can actually get some consensus out of one that was actually made with the criteria in mind as opposed to one user's unwavering personal opinion:

1. Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)
2. Money
3. Comfortably Numb
4. Wish You Were Here
5. Time
6. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
7. See Emily Play

Piper, you wouldn't consider "Us and Them" for Pink Floyd's #10 spot? That aside, that Top 10 looks good.

that's because you do not know more than what they say the graphics and feel to the band and its essence.

I think "No Big Deal" is at least a couple spots too high. It had some commercial success, but mostly just because it was the follow-up to their biggest hit. It mostly stopped the momentum that hit gave them. Other than that it looks good.

Man, how did we not have a list for him? I might want to find a spot for "Louisiana 1927" or "I Think It's Gonna Rain Today", but this looks solid overall.

That's "Will The Wolf Survive?" (not World). Tough call whether to put "La Bamba" at number one--far and away their biggest hit, but a remake and not really representative of what was important about them.
