Summary: good for the casual listener
Comment: this is a good CD if you're a casual listener looking for Pink Floyd's best songs. less expensive and less cumbersome than buying their complete set and not bogged down by lesser songs. if you're a hard core fan you will probably find this CD lacking in continuity. Pink Floyd albums were not simply a collection of singles they were a coherent continuous package. that continuity is lost when compiling a greatest hits album.

Summary: Great songs, but this isn't how Pink Floyd is meant to be listened to
Comment: I've heard all of the songs on this compilation, and I own most of the albums that they are from. To me, it seems that these songs lose a lot of their appeal and meaning when they are separated from the albums in which they were originally released. In particular, The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon are best listened to from start to finish. Part of the reason I love Pink Floyd so much is that they could create an entire album that was in itself a work of art.
Pink Floyd worked on a scale that is beyond most artists, especially today's sound bite radio-friendly pop and rap artists.
(Some rappers have shown some serious talent and artistry, but almost none of the marketable, wealthy ones do.) Pardon the digression...
Anyway, this is a compilation of some excellent songs, and for the person interested in the individual songs it's a good buy. However, I think that what made Pink Floyd music truly great was the way it was composed as an album.

Summary: Perfect Album to go to Sleep to
Comment: Let's face it, I don't want to follow the plot of "the Wall" when drifting off. Do you? This disc does the job of sending me off to sleep when I need to be counting sheep (pun almost intended). Few albums do that job well and that in itself makes this a classic compilation.
This is the perfect mix tape of Pink Floyd done in digital perfection. The way the song run together, almost makes it a new Floyd Album. It's nice to see Syd represented very well and maybe some of the new Floyd fans will Discover Piper at the Gates of Dawn because of this. Additionally, if I were to introduce someone to Pink Floyd, I would buy them this and Dark Side of the Moon. Who would have ever thought that a 16 minute track would have sounded short, but the Echoes edit is done masterfully. I call this set, the "Portable Pink Floyd." You will love it. Now how about some classic live material?
