Great for casual fans of the band.
I am not a Pink Floyd fan. They have been making music for over 50 years, and in that time, they have released fewer than half a dozen songs that I like. So, buying four or five CDs to get those songs was out of the question. This greatest hits had all of the songs I wanted on it. In fact, there is a single disc greatest hits that also contained all of the songs I wanted on it, and it was around 50 cents cheaper...but for only half a dollar more I got another disc worth of songs that I thought may contain a song or two that I would also like. After having listened to all of the songs, I can say that I would have been fine with the single disc version, but I definitely don't feel ripped off here. Actual fans of the band will tell you not to buy a greatest hits of this band because the songs on the original albums form some kind of cohesive whole that is lost if you cherry pick the songs. Not sure on that, but I think I'll be okay.Read full review

A flawed filet of Floyd
Any 'greatest hits' compilation from Pink Floyd is inherently going to be flawed because once you mix together tracks from disparate albums, you lose context. Pink Floyd was never a singles band, quite the opposite. They were absolute masters of the concept album. Their albums were expansive works that are, more often than not, greater than the sum of their tracks. That said, the selection of tracks contained in 'Echoes' is an okay sampling but the jumbled sequencing makes absolutely no sense. Random juxtaposition of tracks from, say 'Saucerful of Secrets' and 'The Wall' is just too jarring and the impact of each track is diminished by being taken out of context. The more logical approach would have been to sequence the tracks chronologically as to create an overview of the band's evolution over four decades, during which their sound dramatically changed from psychedelic avant garde to progenitors of progressive rock to theatrical arena rock. Doing this would have created more of a 'filet of Floyd', rather than the 'Pink hash' this two-disc set ultimately is.Read full review

Superb compilation. But buy the back catalogue instead.
This compilation spans Pink Floyd's career from 1967s 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn' to 1994s 'The Division Bell'. There has been an attempt to segue many of the tracks into each other and the tracks selected do represent a sizeable portion of Pink Floyd's best songs (the selections were voted for by the band themselves and Roger Waters). If tracks like 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond', 'Comfortably Numb', 'Money', 'Another Brick in the Wall (part 2)'and 'Time' do nothing for you then you should perhaps be out buying the latest Crazy Frog record. So, a double CD compilation of great songs from one of the most popular bands ever sounds great. And it is. But... Pink Floyd were (and are, if applicable) predominantly an album band. Their biggest sellers - 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here' and 'The Wall' - are albums that function as units and are so strong that I would actually recommend them more than this compilation, which, in its attempt to collate everything ends up sounding patchy. British television runs any number of top 100 shows (top 100 films ever, top 100 comedy shows ever, etc.) the basic format of which is to run down the list from 100 to 1 showing excerpts from each and having people talk about why they were so good. I always feel after watching one of these programmes that the clips from the featured shows are great, but it's not the same as seeing the show itself. This is how I feel after listening to this compilation. It could have been more satisfying if it had been compiled chronologically, but the truth is that given the strength of all the main Pink Floyd albums in their own right, any compilation (bar maybe material previously unavailable on CD) is almost certainly redundant.Read full review

Best fo Pink Floyd, Echoes
One of the better Pink Floyd G.H. Discs. Although it could have more songs on it, the discs cover quite a bit of albums. Some are represented more than others. I did like that many older songs are on it than other PF G.H. from them. There is overlap from other G.H. discs too. Overall a nice addition to my collection.

Best of Pink Floyd - a great point of beginning
Pink Floyd is the one of the few bands who can escort the listener on a journey, without the use of any substances whatsoever. Good earbuds or headphones, and you're on your way. This should be the FIRST Pink Floyd CD one should buy, as people tend to either: a) love Pink Floyd or b) hate Pink Floyd. Should one love their unique music and style, it is almost a certainty that one will delve into the individual CD's that made this group unlike any other in musical history. When the Tigers Broke Free is a Pink Floyd love song, much akin to a dirge; very moving. The Fletcher Memorial Home is just right for those political afficionados, and is itself a brief history lesson without the drone of traditional education. Great stuff. Start here, and stay Pink.
