If you had to select one group of songs from the Wish You Wuz Here album, which group would you prefer?

Preferably from the "Pulse" live set. With visuals.

I choose Shine on You Crazy Diamond. It's my favourite Pink Floyd song aside from Echoes from Meddle

Yeah, I just wanted to check, because it's a no-brainer for me, but the fact remains the other three are more famous. Mostly because they are a better length for radio play, but still. It's interesting.

I've never had quite enough of a substance abuse problem to really get into them.

I got an EMS VCS3 , the synth that does the noises on dark side of the moon.

I'm one of the few who prefer the second set. I love all the songs on the album, but the chorus for Shine on You Crazy Diamond sometimes falls into the stratosphere of 'cringeworthy homage' for me. Welcome to the Machine is potentially my favourite song on the album.

On a different note; was anyone disappointed when they 'discovered' no members of the classic lineup (i.e. no Syd Barrett) had any major or even minor problems with drug abuse? Momentarily, it decreased their worth to me.

shine on like a motherfucker. weird comparison, though. i'd compare shine on with echoes or something of that ilk and the other group with more "songy" songs like comfortably numb and mother.
