Is There Anybody Out There, partly because it's also easy to play yet sounds beautiful.

Any Colour You Like is just fun, and provides the perfect transition from the pensive Us and Them to the insane Brain Damage.

Marooned is nicely loaded with emotion, so I'll give it third place.

Andy Mabbett in The Complete Guide To The Music Of Pink Floyd wrote:The title is taken from the oft-misquoted advert for the world's first mass-produced car, the Ford Model T, which offered purchasers the choice of "Any colour you like, so long as it's black".

Has to be Great Gig In The Sky for me, or SFOS live at pompeii, both classics. The musicianship at pompeii makes a great song even better, and AHM has a brilliant chorus and quality experimentation.

Listen to "is there anybody out there"pt 1.... I always hear the James Bond theme... maybe I'm just crazy. Anyone else hear it??? Its at 1:24... when the guitar starts in. Its a slow beatiful james bond theme. OHHHH it gives me chills... Please someone tell me I'm not crazy.

Good, I'm glad I'm not crazy. Maybe The Wall could sync up with a James Bond Film... lol :) Maybe Dr. No? I've always wanted to try that out.

The original title to this song was called "Scat."

I know it's a solo song, but I really like 'The Ballad of Bill Hubbard' - excellent playing from Jeff Beck!!
