Consider my vote due to the 'Icarus' effect.

For some reason I have a special liking for "Corporal Clegg". This weird humour - "His boots were very clean". I just love it.

For many years, it would have been Set The Controls, but in recent times, I have absolutely loved the title track, an extremely clever and intense piece.

^ Actually, from Animals, even Pigs has very strong keyboards too... that eerie atmosphere is all keyboards. About the songs he has composed / contributed to, I read a while ago that Echoes was mainly based on Wright, so that brings his writing contributions up to one of the most acomplished songs from the band.

true, I forgot about that, Rick is not credited on Animals and there's keyboard work especially on Dogs and Sheep. I believe that is Rick, isn't it? Writer's block or not, he gave us Wet Dream and Broken China and I pleased, happy about that. One of my favorite musicians.

I don't get it either. Off the top of my head, during the Waters era the last time Rick got an individual credit was on 'Shine On You'

I didn't know he suffered from writer's block, he did write and co-write several songs. I always thought the writing credits of PF are weird with songs credited to Waters but then there are a lot of keyboards on it. I don't get it. For example Sheep is credited to Waters but the keyboards work there, isn't that Rick's? I don't get it. |

Remember A Day - possibly in my top 10 all time favourites. Shame Rick suffered from writer's block over his career. Love this!

And like 'Free Four' from Obscured by Clouds it contains themes that Roger would explore in much greater detail later on albums such as The Wall, Final Cut, and Amused to Death.

In the end I went for Jugband Blues. It's a strange number, and kind of sad too, especially when you consider the state the writer was in at the time. It is however in strong competition with Set the Controls... The title track is very nice, but I think it lacks the intensity of Interstellar Overdrive. The Rick Wright compositions are a bit to whimsy for my taste. I quite enjoy Corporal Clegg; it does have some humour, but it's not necessarily a particularly good song.

Jugband Blues. Doesn't belong on the album but it's still the best song.

Voted for Remember A Day, although SoS,LTBML and Set the Controls are all excellent . I don't agree with Waters who said SeeSaw was the most boring son in the world bar two. He never said what they were. The only track I regularly skip is Corporal Clegg. An album that has aged very well for me.

Let There Be More Light, but this is a close call. However, Set the Controls turned out to be just a prototypical draft version of what it would become on Ummagumma and Pompeii.

For me the best are the first three... I have to go with Remember a Day since it's being so overlooked, but I might just as well have gone with Let there be more Light. I don't vote for Set the Controls because the live version(s) is so much better. About Jugband Blues, that's a weird one for me, for it's got some nice parts, but some other rather ridiculous ones... but even more so, the lyrics are so poignant... it was really as if Syd himself was saying goodbye. There's a BBC version I like better, because the ridiculous part doesn't sound quiet so ridiculous.

I think the opening track gets overshadowed by Set...
A shame as it's got enough to be considered a standard going by Nick Mason's current band. |
