My girlfriends wants to listen the 10 best songs of this group.... can anyone help me on this? I'm not that fan of them?

"Best" is a very subjective word. I have 837 Pink Floyd songs in my collection, but I need a frame of reference for what you (or your g/f) would consider the "best" in your own opinions.

All but the top one varies based on my mood, but right now my own list of favorites would be...

(1) Dogs
(2) Pigs (Three Different Ones)
(3) Arnold Layne
(4) Wish You Were Here
(5) One Of These Days
(6) Careful With That Axe, Eugene
(7) Great Gig In The Sky
(8) See Emily Play
(9) Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5)
(10)The Scarecrow

It's pretty impossible to pick "10-Best of Tracks", because you have to hear Floyd Albums as a whole.

There best pieces of Work - in my humble opinion- "Wish you were here", "Dark Side of the Moon" and "The Wall" are so good because every Track fits perfectly in the Album.
If you here "Eclipse" without "Braindamage", the magic won't happen...

But if you want some advice (in no Order):

Shine on you crazy diamond - Wish you were here (just 25:33 mins of beautiful music)

Wish your were here - Whish you were

Speak to me/Breathe - Dark Side

Time - Dark Side

Braindamage&Eclipse - Dark Side

Every "Another Brick in the wall" Part, especially Pt.3 - The Wall

Hey you - The Wall

Comfortly Numb - The Wall

Set the Controls in the heart of the sun - Ummagumma

Echoes - Meddle

A Saucerful of Secrets - A Saucerful of Secrets

And now, let the bashing begin, because I didn't mention any "Animals"

My all time favourite track is the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb (Pulse being a live album by pink floyd). This is a must have album by the way, with great versions of most of the best songs (in my opinion), including Money, Shine on you crazy diamond, wish you were here, etc etc.
