best dry floyd song

[Pottel]

not everyone's favourite period, but it is the period (DSOT) which got me into the floyd in the first place, so it will always have a place close to my heart.
My favourite waterless floyd song has to be "on the turning away"
yours?
i am yet to hear a bad (performance, not sound) live version of that song by the way.

I Like 'One Slip' quite a lot. Would love to listen to 'May Peace Be With You' one day.

[m20gull]

Not my favourite era (1970 is) but Coming Back to Life has really grown on me.

[MrFender]

The guitar solo in Turning Away is right up there with CN and I also like One Slip. The live versions of Sorrow are also pretty damn good.

[marksturdy]

Yet Another Movie is a high point from MLOR for me. Kinda like the instrumentals too.


On TDB, maybe Poles Apart? Hard to choose as that album is more about the atmosphere for me than specific songs. I do like the moody ones more than the more obvious pop/rock tunes though.

On a side note, I had another listen to the remixed MLOR recently. Considering they allegedly 'mixed some of the '80s out' for that one, all I can say is there must have been a hell of a lot of '80s there to start with...

Signs of life i love, Sorrow i adore!

Keep talking is great and i used to love High hopes but it became my Wish you were here…

[DeepCreatures]

From AMLoR - Sorrow
From TDB (depends on the day) - Marooned, Wearing the Inside Out, High Hopes

[DashingMallard]

I basically love them all but if I had to choose: On the Turning Away and One Slip (the delicate sound of thunder versions specifically. The bass outro on one slip is amazing). For DB: Coming Back To Life, Keep Talking and Poles Apart.

I also particularly like the sections of seventies Floyd where Rick takes the lead on the moog, and really wish he’d been given more room to do that. The pre-animals live versions of what became animals have a lot more of Rick on them than the album versions. The bits where Rick leads are essentially Waterless as the other band members are making most of the noise!

Marooned, Lost for Words, and Sum + Skins together - awesome!

[Paul]

AMLOR : A New Machine part 1 -Terminal Frost - A New Machine Part 2 - Sorrow.
TDB : Wearing The Inside Out - Lost For Words - High Hopes
TER : Things Left Unsaid - Its What We Do - Ebb And Flow - Side 2 Pt. 1,2,3,4 - Nervana - Allons-y (video).

The more I listen to The Endless River the more Floyd it becomes of the three albums.

[daemonspudguy]

Sorrow, Wearing the Inside Out, and High Hopes.

[YASHA]

One Slip is very!

[ILuvHoney]

On the Turning Away (Delicate Sound of Thunder version)

[DesertRat]

Marooned, Lost for Words, and Sum + Skins together - awesome!

Just to add more details to this, I find Marooned just an amazing piece of music and for me speaks so much more than some Floyd numbers do with lyrics - when I play it on guitar my mind just goes to another level … and that’s without drugs!

And what about 'Cluster One'?

A timeless piece and a very close & intimate musical conversation between Messrs. Gilmour, Mason and Wright.
