The plan for Train was for it to be a Flexi disc for the NME but things fell apart. The songs inspiration involves his relationship with Viv Albertine

1. Pink Floyd “Comfortably Numb” (from Off the Wall)

Around ten years after this song was written, I spent every Saturday night during the summer attending the Laserium midnight show at the Griffith Park Observatory auditorium. The Wall was always played (I think Dark Side was on Friday nights.) We’d get very stoned and watch the lights spin and soar all around while this album played. So now whenever I hear this song that’s what I think of.
Hope you guys enjoyed this; it was fun. Let’s see what @Bracie Smathers has in store.

Cheap Sunglasses, the two Little River Band songs and Flirtin' with Disaster are glaring omissions in this top 100, IMO.
I love those Zeppelin and Floyd deep cuts you listed, but those weren't hit and/or radio mainstays, and it's clear that Tim goes for hits only in these countdowns.

Excellent choice for number 1. Definitely a great song and album to get high to, and seeing this song played live is a like religious experience. I only saw it once, when I saw Floyd in '94, but it's something I'll never forget.

I've seen it twice from Floyd and once from Gilmour solo.Excellent choice for number 1. Definitely a great song and album to get high to, and seeing this song played live is a like religious experience. I only saw it once, when I saw Floyd in '94, but it's something I'll never forget.

NIce list except that 14 year-old me, and beyond, will neverever like anything from Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door. I would rather listen to Rush ...but not Asia; it's not that bad.
ETA: And Jane is a big no.

Now that the list is complete, I can definitively say you had Oliver's Army 33 spots too low.

@timschochet, I am curious if you consciously chose to not include all of these songs or if you missed any of them.

Occasionally Sirius channel 25 I think will play the comfortably numb demo version The Doctor.

Chorus is essentially the same but the rest of it is completely different, it’s pretty cool
