This is pretty difficult. 

I'll go with Set The Controls...

I quite like the version of Careful With That Axe... on Ummagumma, so I'll go with that.
when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents

Have to go with Careful with that Axe. If only because I remember blasting it out of my dorm window !-)

Love the brooding sinister vibes of Eugene (and Wright's organ chords), but Set The Controls has the intense build up with some of Wright's most impressive playing (IMO, of course).

Both great live, Set The Controls just edges it for me.

I can't choose, they are both just too great. On their live versions, of course (Ummagumma or Pompeii, I prefer Set the Controls on the Pompeii version, though I'm not so sure about Eugene, I think that one might have a slight preference on the Ummagumma version).

Careful has several great versions, one of Pink Floyd's most underrated tracks. Easy choice.

This is a very tough one. My favourite versions: Pompeiï for Set the Controls, the 5'46" studio version for Eugene. Today I pick the latter.

Impossible choice - I first heard 'Eugene' when I got Relics as a 12 year old - 'Set the Controls' came a year later when I brought home a Floyd bootleg from a school trip to Switzerland!
