Got to be Eugene for me..

I love Relics, although generally I'm not a huge early Floyd fan.

I bought the Wall and Relics together when I was 12 years old. Relics was in the bargain bin for 50p, so I thought I'd give it a go. I didn't recognise it as the same band that had made the Wall but I loved in nonetheless. I like every track, although I'm fairly indifferent to Bike.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Looking through the thread, I can see the great sentimental attachment to this album.  For many cash-strapped teenagers in the 70s, it was a great and affordable introduction to the early Floyd.  For many of us who had just heard 'Dark Side' this was a bright and varied new dimension!

I bought the original album when it was first released as I wasn't a great floyd fan and it was cheap. It was a good purchase and I still play it occasionally. None of the tracks are bad and some are pretty good.

Went with Arnold Layne (one of my fav Floyd tunes), although Remember a Day is sooo close behind. Lot's of neat stuff on this comp.

Remember a Day, for me. This version of Eugene is rather underwhelming for me. I also like Julia Dream and Cirrus Minor a lot.

I'll get back to you on that one.
Now that somebody voted for "Julia Dream", at least one vote has to go to "Remember A Day". And so here goes one from me.

Cirrus Minor always gets me with it's beauty. Like watching the sun step out of bed.

I could pick 7 or 8 of these. I have something special with this album: it is the very first prog album in my collection; I got it as a present for my 13th birthday. Today I vote for Careful with That Axe, Eugene. I prefer this version above any live version.

This was certainly true in my case. Went with Interstellar Overdrive...
