We've done the Pink Floyd 20+ minute epics, so which of these 'mini' epics is your favourite?

It's between Interstellar Overdrive and A Saucerful of Secrets for me. Both amazing and genre defining (for Psych, Kraut and Space Rock...). I don't know if I'm able to vote for one over the other.

I like all of them, and my first thought was to go with "Interstellar Overdrive" or "A Saucereful of Secrets", but "Dogs" has been the most significant to me (and I often quote it).

Just to mention one that did not come up and I love, here's Pink Floyd's BBC archives The Embryo:

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

...but in all honesty, Interstellar has had the deepest impact on me, so I ended up voting for it.

Nice poll, and I agree with Saper here. Those first two tracks in the poll rise above the rest here. I gave A Saucerful Of Secrets it's first vote.

Sheep>>Saucerful>>Interstellar>>Breakfast

Dogs, then Interstellar Overdrive, then Pigs.
