Certainly not 'Astronomy Domine' for me. Either 'Cymbaline' or 'Wot's ... Uh the Deal' ... . Not 'Fearless'. For some reason I'm running dry on that one. Those aren't obscure anyway, except for 'Wot's ... Uh the Deal'. I would definitely not go with 'Let There Be More Light'. ... I could go with "other". Hm ... I could go with 'Julia Dream' or 'Paintbox' ... or 'Remember a Day'. They are all 5/5 to me. Uh, who cares? They are under "other", so I'll go with "other". Depends on the mood. As of the time of this writing, let it be ... oh, boy Ermm ... 

Paintbox !

too easy with Astronomy Domine sitting there - perhaps in the top 10 all time best PF track.

Astronomy Domine, though I wouldn't call it obscure myself.

I didn't quiet like Wot's... uh the deal so much on the original Pink Floyd version, but the live version on Remember that Night has slowly been growing on me, it's a rather nice song. Now I need to hear the original once again to see if I like it better now.

This one's tough... Some great choices here. Wots... Uh The Deal isn't getting much love here, I guess I'll go with that. Really completed ObC.
Nothing to say here. Nothing at all. Nothing is easy.

I don't think any of those tracks are obscure. Not to Floyd fans anyway.

Astronomy Domine is hardly obscure........ it's probably the most famous Barrett track after See Emily Play or Arnold Layne!

Yeah I like it I don't think it's the best of that era but I love the melody. However it's badly recorded, Waters and Mason said it was one of the worst song they ever did.

To answer the question more seriously, I would go with any live version of Careful with that Axe. Runners-up would be ''Point Me at the Sky'' and ''See Emily Play''.

Echoes and Astronomy Domine being excluded cause I don't consider them ''Obscure''

It's a piece of music that's almost never mentioned but nevertheless set a standard for the future Floyd sound. It's the foundation of Dark Side of the Moon in fact, if you listen carefully. But also of course for earlier works such as Atom Heart Mother and the whole of Wish You Were Here.
   
the narrow way is a very interresting piece of music, it shows the Gilmour way on guitar, very innovative at the time


It's a pity Gilmour has had such a hard time hitting those high notes the few times he's tried to perform the song live; otherwise perhaps it would get the nod over "Fat Old Sun," which he has played pretty frequently but in my opinion isn't quite as good...

For me, 'Set the Controls...' is probably my pick. Whether it's the live Pompeii one or the studio, not sure. Perhaps studio, as I like the more muffled nature of Roger's voice on the the studio version

The live version of Cymbaline from The Man and The Journey is the fashizzle.

Of those I'd go with Fearless, outside of that it would be Careful with that axe Eugene from Ummagumma
