The Cholswert Pink Floyd Playlists: For a more pure Floyd listening

Now when I say "For a more pure Floyd listening," nothing can obviously replace just listening to the albums. I recommend that for anyone, of course.
But if you just want a good sampling of Floyd songs? Cholie and I came up with two good playlist options, and what albums to find them all from.
For our Album selections:
- Astronomy Domine (From Piper at the Gates of Dawn)
- See Emily Play (a Single released by Floyd, it's findable on multiple Best Of CDs, and probably elsewhere)
- Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (From A Sauceful of Secrets)
- A Sauceful of Secrets (From A Sauceful of Secrets)
- Summer '68 (From Atom Heart Mother)
- Fat Old Sun (From Atom Heart Mother)
- One Of These Days (From Meddle)
- Echoes (From Meddle)
- Wots... Uh The Deal (From Obscured by Clouds)
- Stay (From Obscured by Clouds)
- Money (From Dark Side of the Moon)
- Us and Them (From Dark Side of the Moon)
- Welcome To The Machine (From Wish You Were Here)
- Have a Cigar (From Wish You Were Here)
- Wish You Were Here (From Wish You Were Here)
- Dogs (From Animals)
- Sheep (From Animals)
- Hey You (From The Wall)
- Comfortably Numb (From The Wall)
- When The Tigers Broke Free (From The Final Cut)
- The Gunner's Dream (From The Final Cut)
- On The Turning Away (From A Momentary Lapse of Reason)
- Terminal Frost (From A Momentary Lapse of Reason)
- Wearing The Inside Out (From The Division Bell)
- High Hopes (From The Divison Bell)
And that's just THE ALBUMS. 3 hours (plus or minus a few seconds) of pure Pink Floyd recoded goodness.
But we have a -second- list. The Live stuff. Keep in mind, this particular list is made up of 3 live Pink Floyd and David Gilmour live albums that Cholie and I both own. Your selection may vary. Again, I will list what -we- chose our album of. You may substitue or exclude as necessary.
- Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5) (From David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk album)
- Learning to Fly (From PULSE)
- High Hopes (From PULSE)
- Hey You (From PULSE)
- Sorrow (From PULSE)
- Fat Old Sun (From David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk album)
- Castellorizon (From David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk album)
- On An Island (From David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk album)
- Red Sky at Night (From David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk album)
- This Heaven (From David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk album)
- Speak To Me (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Breathe (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- On The Run (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Time (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- The Great Gig in the Sky (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Money (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Us and Them (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Any Colour You Like (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Brain Damage (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Eclipse (From Dark Side of the Moon, The Experience Album)
- Wish You Were Here (From PULSE)
- Comfortably Numb (From PULSE)
And that's it. We chose the Experience edition over PULSE due to the fact it was all recorded in one location and in one take, which to us sounded much more pure. You may substutue as needed, of course.
If Cholie had Delicate Sound of Thunder, I'd have taken a few tracks from that as well (they did a WONDERFUL edition of On The Turning Away on it) but such is life.
Now, this is just the Cholswert list. I recommend you experience Floyd how you wish to. In fact, you can experience -any- artist in any way you see fit. Want to make a Beatles list? Do it. Want a Metallica list? Go for it. There's certainly enough material now to get 3 hours out of Linkin Park, go for it.
And enjoy.
