10 | Eclipse
04 | Time
06 | Money
09 | Brain Damage
05 | The Great Gig in the Sky
02 | Breathe
07 | Us and Them
03 | On the Run
08 | Any Colour You Like
01 | Speak to Me

Difficult to rank because I always put Speak to Me / Breathe together and Brain Damage / Eclipse together. Brain Damage / Eclipse is such an incredible end to an album. It baffles me that it doesn't get more acclaim. I thought it was such a perfect choice at the 2012 London Olympics when the Opening Ceremony finished with Eclipse, topping off their celebration of great British music.

DIfficult to rank tracks on a so "Global" album. For me, since 40 years, it's one big blob.

Great:
06 | Money
04 | Time
01 | Speak to Me and 02 | Breathe
05 | The Great Gig in the Sky
07 | Us and Them

Not so great:
10 | Eclipse
09 | Brain Damage
08 | Any Colour You Like
03 | On the Run

Now I'm even more baffled. I'm the only one who thinks Eclipse is even an above-average track on the album?? :o

Edit: I don’t read other people's posts for this sort of thing until I've already posted. Sorry, andyd1010... Most of the tracks are full-fledged, others are just segue quality to me.

100% agree... it's necessary to NOT read another posts before playing. 8-)

An album I know by heart. I love everything about it (and that very much includes Eclipse!). The last two don't work as stand-alone tracks though, but they are not meant to.
