Guest gnr>everything Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) I like The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd pretty much equally so this is a tough one for me, but I think Pink Floyd's songs all go with the whole album together, so taking out different songs and putting them together didn't really work for me. So my vote goes to Forty Licks.If you want to see the tracklisting here they are:Forty LicksEchoes Edited July 19, 2005 by gnr>everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me Scandar Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I voted Echoes, Forty Licks kicks mayor ass, but nothing beats Floyds "Bike" song...always makes me laugh...not sure why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace GnR Nation <{POST_SNAPBACK}>"The Happiest Days Of Our Lives", "Another Brick In The Wall Pt.2", "Hey You", and "Comfortably Numb" are all already on the Echoes album. Four songs from The Wall is enough.I have both of these albums, and have listened to both of them tons of times. I'm voting for 40 Licks. NOTHING beats 40 Licks. NOTHING!

firecrown Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I prefer Floyd though forty licks has a lot of great songs on it. And I agree with some of the others that I just don't like Floyd songs being broken off their respective works of art and pasted together in a greatest hits compilation. It lacks the continuity and magic that each album has individually. But I still pick Echoes hands down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizz Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I pick 40 licks. Echoes is good, but Pink Floyd really need to be listened to in a real album in order to achieve full effect. I love both bands but I think Licks takes it when it comes to almost any "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits" collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
