Top Ten David Gilmour Solo Songs

The Top Ten
1 On an Island

Top 3 favorite solo's of Gilmour's...along with Comfortably Numb (of course) and The Division Bell. Gorgeous song...wonderful harmony vocals. Add in Richard Wright's distinctive keyboards creating that Pink Floyd-esque soundscape and you have classic David Gilmour!

One of his best solos, especially the live version at the Royal Albert Hall.

Really neat song. Sounds like the marching hammers from the wall.

2 Murder

From quiet acoustic part to hard prog electric guitar. Impressive!

3 There's No Way Out of Here

Great from Start to Finish, up there in both Gilmour's solo work and Pink Floyd as a whole.

Brilliant song, it's capturing...

4 Faces of Stone
5 In Any Tongue

The live version from Pompeii is incredible, one of his very best and one of my favorites.

I absolutely agree with the last comment. What a powerful song. Breathtaking concert (Live in Pompeji)

6 Out of the Blue

Very emotional and powerful song. in my humble opinion the best Daves solo song by far.

"Out of the blue on the wings of a dove
A messenger comes, with the beating of drums
It's not a message of love"

Dave' best solo song

7 Rattle That Lock

What the heck? Why is the amazing Rattle that Lock at 7? This is his best for sure. Very catchy.

8 Take a Breath
9 Smile

"I'll make my getaway
Time on my own
Search for a better way
To find my way home
To your smile."

This song is definition of beauty.

10 Castellorizon
The Contenders
11 The Blue
12 This Heaven

Why isn't this higher? This is probably the best song on On An Island!

13 So Far Away
14 Near the End

Do yourself a favor and listen to this song.. it has an acoustic part and the soaring climactic david gilmour wails at the end

Easily his best solo effort. Sounds like a Pink Floyd classic.

This is such a brilliant song, awesome solo! Great lyrics too!

15 Love On the Air
16 Marooned
17 A Boat Lies Waiting

Beautiful tribute to Richard Wright.

18 Where We Start
19 5 A.M.

The most surreal and pieceful song. Combined with And Then.. its one of the most beautiful compositions I've heard
