* One of the often overlooked masterpieces of this album would have to be "[[https://youtu.be/wbOTkDn49qI Keep Talking]]". The song has been made worthy of this article thanks not just to its powerful lyrics, but from its musical components: a dual electric guitar/synth solo, a gospel choir, the return of the talk-box, and samples of Stephen Hawking's synthesized voice from a British Telecom commercial that actually made David Gilmour ''cry.'' The song's music displays just as much prowess as its lyrics.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-xTttimcNk "Comfortably Numb"]] is a huge fan favorite and gains more radio play than any other Pink Floyd song these days, for a reason.

* Sitting down and listening to a Pink Floyd album from start to finish almost always counts as Awesome Music. ''Music/WishYouWereHere'', ''Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon'', and ''Music/{{Meddle}}'' are particularly well put together. ''Music/TheWall'' is awesome too, as are ''Music/{{Animals}}'', ''Music/ThePiperAtTheGatesOfDawn'' and ''Music/ASaucerfulOfSecrets''. Some may find ''Music/TheFinalCut'' fits into this category.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyL2vAUVOM0 "Time"]]. The intro ''alone'' is awesome. The contrast between the more aggressive sections sung by Gilmour, and the more mellow and melancholic moments sung by Wright is breathtaking, particularly so at "Breathe (Reprise)". It should go without saying that this is one of Gilmour's best guitar solos.
