Don't you think these two songs are the most popular? I mean, almost everyone I know that is not a great PF fan or doesn't know many of their songs says that ABITW2 and WYWH are the best songs (or just know these 2 songs...).
What do you think??? Are ABITW2 and WYWH PF most popular songs????
ABITWall 2 and Wish You Were Here: most popular songs???????

yes indeed. When i ask my students if they know Pink Floyd, i almost always get "NO", but if i say " we don't need no education", most will say, o yes, didn't know it was Pink Floyd. It's simply because that song gets a lot of airplay and is sometimes on compilation albums. With guitarists WYWH is very known

your students are stupid. You should give them detention or kick them out of schoolSpinoza wrote:yes indeed.

ABITW and WYWH here are song which people who are very new to Pink Floyd or just pose to be Pink Floyd fans talk about. This irks me no less. Another one is Comfortably Numb. However I dont hate ABITW because a lot of people like it or it gets a lot of airtime.
On occasions I find myself listening to Floyd and people coming up to me (I am talking about Britney Spears fans here). They pick up the cover and go....wooo Pink Floyd...cool! Have you heard their song ABITW? Is it on the same album (I am listening to TDB) and I find myself going ....anyways.

These are definitely the best-known PF songs. ABITW Part II and Money are in a league of their own, though. They've been played so often that I actually do not mind skipping them every now and then when I'm listening to DSOTM and The Wall.Tommy wrote:

There's only two songs I have heard in radio by Pink Floyd: ABITW and Money. Most of the people who doesn't know Pink FLoyd, know ABITW2 and I have once heard it on radio, it was somekind of techno-version, included Happiest Days Of Our Lives.
Weird, I have heard many times Money from one local radio station, but no other Pink Floyd -songs. Maybe I listen wrong stations.

I don't know about BD/E being third though. I've never spoken to anyone who just knew of a handful of Floyd songs, and BD/E was one of them. Maybe it's just me...Real Pink in the Inside wrote:These are definitely the best-known PF songs. ABITW Part II and Money are in a league of their own, though.
