For many Americans, Relics and Meddle were their first tastes of pre DSotM Pink Floyd, with Relics either enlightening them or baffling them. So, what's your favorite song from Relics?

Bike.
You have to vote for a song with lyrics like this -

"I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good."

Interstellar Overdrive, a perfect bit of 60s instrumental psych. I get flashbacks just listening to it. LOL
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I voted for "Paintbox" as it should have been either the main single instead of "Apples And Oranges" or at least held over to replace "See Saw" on "A Saucerful of Secrets". 
Perfect piece of slightly melancholic pop with some of Nick Mason's best ever fills (Yes, even better than his work on "Time"!) and the easiest guitar riff they've ever done.
CLANG! CLANG!

Between "Remember A Day", "Julia Dream", "Paintbox", and "Cirrus Minor" ... man, you are killing me.

I'll get back to you on that one.

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

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.

Eugene's axe.

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