This week, the rock world was saddened by the loss of Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright. In honor of Wright and his music, this week’s Rock List is dedicated to the Pink Floyd songbook. Tell us your favorite Floyd song, whether it’s from the Barrett era, the Waters regime or
The Division Bell, and on Monday we’ll reveal your picks. Before you break out the Ummagumma or start debating if “Brain Damage/Eclipse” is one song or two, here’s the Rock Daily faves:

“Us & Them”
“Comfortably Numb”
“The Gold It’s In The…”
“Echoes”
“Fat Old Sun”

I’m sorry, but this truly is the most overrated band in rock history. How do they “rock?” They done some things that could be considered “interesting” like Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2, but really overrated and strictly for stoners. Their “best” songs sound like whining (Wish You Were Here, Comfortably Numb).

Speaking of Radiohead….
