[Arsalan]

High Hopes is really low.This song has one of the best guitar solos i have ever heard.

[Harold]

So, two of the top five are their first two big U.K. hit singles, there are two more Barrett songs in the top 10, and #1 is explicitly a tribute to Barrett. I'm sensing a bias here... (Although I have to say that, if pressed, I would probably consider Piper my favorite Floyd album, so this doesn't seem as odd to me as it might to others whose name may or may not be Roger Waters.)
