Well there' s so many to choose from but most fanatical pink floyd fans inc me will say comfortably numb,it just has every thing in that song .Wish you were here would be close behind it written by roger for now his late friend and one of the founding members of pink floyd sid barrett.

Toss up between Arnold Layne and Cirrus Minor...Arnold Layne - like most tunes from the late sixties (despite them catering for smashed out students and the like) had a childlike language to them - See Emily Play - a fine example...it was about Barrett dreaming about girl called Emily after he had swallowed acid.
Cirrus Minor was just beautiful...used to get taken to Ely Cathedral in the summer months of the mid-late sixties by parents, and a line in the song brought tears to my wee eyes - forgotten it now, but it ends with the words 'weeping willows', which if you've seen Ely Cathedral, and the rivers around it, weeping willows turn it into heaven on Earth.

Comfortably Numb.
But I love the guitar that kicks in on Sheep at about 8 minutes. Also, Alan's Psychedelic Breakfest is very underrated.

"Bike" - A Piper At The Gates Of Dawn: Because it is a view inside the brilliant, yet totally disconnected mind of the composer.
I also like "Cirrus Minor" off of More. Very trippy.

I agree with you, Shine On You Crazy Diamond is their best ever.

Great Gig in the Sky.(Dark Side of the Moon) It is just a fantastic track to listen to and let your mind drift off to other places. Chill out to it regularly

Another brick in the wall.
Reminds of days on campus and the havoc we created.

"Another Brick In The Wall" simply because it`s the ONLY non-BORING song they recorded.Everything else they did puts me to sleep.

My favorite is "The Trial" but I don't know why. For some reason it reminds me of the songs from "Nightmare Before Christmas"
