My second fave Floyd album, after Animals.
I have heard every song get airplay around here, with Shine On getting the least, probably due to it's length.
Faves on here are Have a Cigar and the title track.

Hi Dawn:) We had the album in the house when I was growing up and a buddy of mine bought the CD in the mid 80's. I never bought it myself but I did borrow the CD and tape a few of the tracks on to cassette. I'm kind of burnt out on the band ,at this point I like reading about them more than listening to them LOL  I always thought their albums were recorded really well. Faves : Have a Cigar , Wish You Were Here and Shine On You Crazy Diamond |

Faves on here are Have a Cigar and the title track. Like you, I don't hear 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' as often as some of the other hits. I heard it about two weeks ago, but that was the first time in quite a while. I need to pick up Animals sometime. I know 'Sheep', 'Dogs', and 'Pigs (Three Different Ones)' from it, and they're all good songs. |

Shine On You Crazy Diamond- the last Floyd epic space jam! I first heard 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' at a friend's house back in 1986, and thought it was great! Not long after, I bought their album A Collection of Great Dance Songs primarily for that song. |

Faves : Have a Cigar , Wish You Were Here and Shine On You Crazy Diamond Hi Ken! Although I love their music, I agree that the classic rock stations tend to overdo it a little with their songs. As I mentioned to m c, 'Shine On' has been a favorite of mine for years, but I also really like the other two songs you mentioned. |

Hi Dawn.
Love Pink Floyd and really like this album. Our classic rock station of choice (I have two within broadcast range), plays a lot of Floyd and not just Money. Welcome to the Machine, along with two of my favorites by Pink Floyd from this album, Shine on You Crazy Diamond & Wish You Were Here, get just enough airplay not to go nuts hearing them over & over. Some of the songs might be long, but who cares, it's Pink Floyd. Good Album.

There are two classic rock/rock stations in my area also, and they play a lot of Pink Floyd songs as well, particularly cuts from The Wall. Sometimes they overdo it, as I mentioned to Ken, but there are a few songs that don't get as much play, such as 'Shine On' and 'Welcome to the Machine'. I find that the more deeply I investigate Pink Floyd's music, the more I love it. |

The only 2 other songs are little minute and a half tunes. BTW-that is my next suggestion for this post!! |
