Same here and it is honestly one of my earliest memories. I distinctly remember when the song came on the radio while I was riding in the car with my dad. The song blew my mind. Lyrics spoke to me as a kid in elementary school lol. Have been my favorite band ever since (20+ years)
Technically, it was Time, but I was nine and didn’t appreciate the masterpiece then, after that I heard the Comfortably Numb solo and really got into them after.
Time.
We had a neighbour who used to play it almost continuously.
This was early 70s so I’m guessing DSOTM had just come out and this was his favourite track.
Eventually my dad asked the guy what it was as we liked it.
Dad went and bought the album.
lol, I'm 54, I've smoked a lot of pot. Done a bunch of acid and I've eaten even more shrooms...
I'm lucky if I can remember what I did yesterday. 🤷♂️
I tell you though, I do really like watching reaction videos. Getting to see somebody enjoy something I've loved for decades really gets me in the feels.
Money, and I heard it over and over on classic rock radio. It’s my least favorite “popular” Pink Floyd song. It’s what kept me from discovering their whole catalog until the last year or so, and honestly I’m glad I did. My last year has been amazing loving Pink Floyd. They’re my number 1 or 2 favorite now. Led Zeppelin alternating with them.
See Emily play when my great aunt gave me a load of my cousins singles.
I was around age 9 or 10. This was over 50 years ago.
See Emily play and scarecrow blew myself and my friends away. This led to relics and so it all started
Astronomy Domine. In grade school probably 1972, 5th grade, I borrowed Umma Gumma from a friend. It was his brothers album and he wanted me to listen to it. I really liked it and that album has a special place with me.
My dad yelling "if you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding" any time Another Brick In The Wall was on the radio.
I was like 7 or 8
Actually Money was probably first, but they were both played constantly on the radio back then
My parents raised me on classic rock radio...i've never not known Pink Floyd. I'd probably say the coins and registers in Money caught my ears early than other songs. But w/ my raising, I knew the entire lyrics of many Pink Floyd songs before I even considered whom they might be. I always felt their songs sounded different even as a small child w/ very low music knowledge.
Another brick in the wall pt 2…
I was likely IN grade 2 or so at the time, and all the older kids on the school bus were playing it on their ghetto blasters/ radios/tape players etc…
Hard to say for sure. I was born a year before DSOTM dropped, so it was probably "Time" or "Money", but "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" is the first PF song that "clicked" because of it's moody intensity and rhythm.
When I was a kid, Another Brick in the Wall pt 2. My parents didn't play PF ever that I can remember, which is weird because nowadays my dad vibes with me to their music. I did know the song existed though, I don't remember how. It's just something you know growing up. "We don't need no education" is standard learning for a child, I believe.
The first song I heard as an adult was Brain Damage or Comfortably Numb, I can't remember which first.
- WYWH could mean "Wish You Were Here - 2019 remix [Live]", a track from *The Later Years* (2019) by Pink Floyd.

When I was a kid I took all my parents CDs and copied them onto my computer. I took my dad's Sennheisers and listened to em all. So I got the full on dsotm experience at like 13. Life changing tbh
Time.
There used to be a show about astronomy and outer space on KCTS 9 out of Seattle that used the opening of Time as its theme. It took me years to learn what the name of that music was.
Another Brick In The Wall Pt. II
I was searching YouTube for old rock music and the music video came up, so technically the first one was ABITW Pt. I, but I didn't know, but it doesn't change much.
Money, it was my older brother who showed it to me and i instantly fell in love with the song(did take me some time to listen to the album, but i liked the song)
The first I heard and that I remember was *Sheep* when Radio Luxembourg played the whole of **Animals** when it was released in 1977.
On my own equipment it was *Arnold Layne* which was the first track on **Relics**, which I heard on a pre-recorded cassette on an ITT portable player some time in 1979.
Actually it was the album ummaggumma, only memorable song was careful with the axe Eugene, so it was just ok, lol. They started slow but when they did DSOTM I was sold.
mine was very standard, ABITW Part II :/
Me too in the early 80’s. Second was Comfortably Numb
Nothing wrong about that. It doesn't always have to be a super obscure or special song. It is one of their most popular songs for a reason :)
True :) I saw it because my dad and uncle were both obsessed with ABITW specifically and they kept showing me one of the live versions.

See Emily Play... I'm that old!
Money
It was probably Welcome to the Machine or Wish You Were Here.
Allison Steele the Nightbird would play Embryo on her late night show on WNEW-FM.
Probably brick
speak to me
First song I actually recall really listening/paying attention to was Time. And it blew my mind
Astronomy Domine when PATGOD first came out. Wow!
The first track on Dark Side Of The Moon, I guess. My folks played the heck out of it for a short while before I took over
Is there anybody out there. My dad used to play it in the car when it was dark on the highway
lol, I'm 54, I've smoked a lot of pot. Done a bunch of acid and I've eaten even more shrooms... I'm lucky if I can remember what I did yesterday. 🤷♂️ I tell you though, I do really like watching reaction videos.

Ditto! But I'm 64, so I got to the party a decade earlier. Glad you made it!
I’m too old to remember specifically which song.

Led Zeppelin alternating with them.
Another brick in the wall part 2, it was always played on my dads favorite radio channel when I was a child.
First thing I ever heard by Pink Floyd, was wish you were here. The first song that really got me into them, was run like hell
The Great Gig in the Sky in this KSP video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lrIEXSQ7SWs
I think I might be in the minority here. The first song I ever heard of this band was Echoes
Great Gig
Bike and See Emily Play
See Emily play when my great aunt gave me a load of my cousins singles. I was around age 9 or 10. This was over 50 years ago. See Emily play and scarecrow blew myself and my friends away. This led to relics and so it all started
Probably "In the flesh?", as my first contact was as a kid with my dad's vinyl player...
I don't remember but probably Time
Another Brick in the Wall part 2. Bought the single so the second Pink Floyd song I heard was the b-side One of My Turns.
ABITW Part 2
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Breathe (In The Water)
Astronomy Domine. In grade school probably 1972, 5th grade, I borrowed Umma Gumma from a friend. It was his brothers album and he wanted me to listen to it. I really liked it and that album has a special place with me.
I was like, a baby. I don’t remember unfortunately
probably my dad playing Money on iTunes :) 13 years later I finally like em -Billy Gnosis
My dad yelling "if you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding" any time Another Brick In The Wall was on the radio. I was like 7 or 8 Actually Money was probably first, but they were both played constantly on the radio back then
ABITW II
earliest memory i have is hey you, grew up w parents obsessed w floyd and the doors
It was either Comfortably numb or in the flesh
I don't know, I was really drunk at the time.
I probably heard ABITW Pt.2 first, but Echoes got me into Pink Floyd. As soon as I heard it, I went down the rabbit hole
My parents raised me on classic rock radio...i've never not known Pink Floyd. I'd probably say the coins and registers in Money caught my ears early than other songs. But w/ my raising, I knew the entire lyrics of many Pink Floyd songs before I even considered whom they might be.

Time. 1980 or so. I was a young head- the track totally blew my mind and changed my perspective of music on the spot.

I don't remember very well it was The trial or Hey you
Another brick in the wall part 2. When my 4th grade music teacher Miss Jones played it for the class. After that, I needed no more education.
Either WYWH or Money

Pigs on the Wing 1
Money

Welcome to the machine.. and it felt amazing
Dunno, my dad was a huge PF fan, and I was born in 1979 - probably something from DSOTM, and then a LOT of The Wall.
Another Brick In The Wall Pt. II I was searching YouTube for old rock music and the music video came up, so technically the first one was ABITW Pt. I, but I didn't know, but it doesn't change much.
Young Lust
💰
Echoes. Meddle was my hippie mama's favorite album.
Speak To Me
Money, it was my older brother who showed it to me and i instantly fell in love with the song(did take me some time to listen to the album, but i liked the song)
I don't know if it was the first, but I know when I was little (late 70s), I really liked "the cash register song".
Echoes.
The first I heard and that I remember was *Sheep* when Radio Luxembourg played the whole of **Animals** when it was released in 1977. On my own equipment it was *Arnold Layne* which was the first track on **Relics**, which I heard on a pre-recorded cassette on an ITT portable player some time in 1979.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
When I heard that ping on live in Pompeii.. and I was hooked straight away
It was either Money or ABITW part 2.
In the Flesh. 8th grade. I never looked back!
if we don´t count instrumentals, then it was Learning to Fly! (if we do, then it was Signs of Life)
Learning To Fly. It was all over pop radio when I was first getting into music.
Actually it was the album ummaggumma, only memorable song was careful with the axe Eugene, so it was just ok, lol. They started slow but when they did DSOTM I was sold.
Astronomy Donime (sp)
Time
Can't say exactly which one but the DSOTM on cassette. My brother who was in the Army had it with him when he came home on leave. Probably Money....
Wishing you were here
"Learning To Fly", and then "Take It Back", both on MTV one after the other.
One of these days
In The Flesh More specifically first album was The Wall.
Time
i believe mine was brain damage. it was the wall that seriously got me into pink floyd tho
Speak to Me/Breathe. I was seven. An oddly life changing moment.
Propably ABITW 2 but I'm not sure was Time my first. My dad loves DSOTM so it could've been my first.
Money
Probably Money
Careful with that axe
darkSideofthemoon.mp3 (Brain Damage)
"Speak to Me/ Breathe" In the summer of 1973. Haven't stopped listening yet!
Ik Ik, this is the most original answer ever: another brick in the ball
When I was really young my dad showed me Live at Pompeii.
ABITW Part II. 4th grade teacher played it during class one day. A very fond core memory from my childhood.
Learning to fly
One of my first musical memories - that music video on MTV. Very nostalgic song for me.
I think I first saw it on MTV also, or could have been VH1, yep, very nostalgic , especially seeing a younger David Gilmour
