Fearless...although I do hate the "Youll never walk alone" outro, just reminds me of Liverpool FCDead

Besides, SSoSFAGTiaCaGwaP isn't Pink Floyd.  It's just Roger Waters being a dink.

At least the latter amuses me.

In all seriousness, I don't think Fearless is a terrible song.  I just think that, for one reason or another, it completely fails to engage me in any way.  These things happen from time to time.

I very vividly remember the first time I listened to this album.  Started off perfect, became a little less perfect, then a lot less perfect.  Thankfully this was one of the final Floyd albums I picked up, otherwise it might have put me off the band.  Now I just assume that Echoes was a monumental undertaking that consumed the band's creativity, leaving some less-than-polished dregs to round out the tracklist.  Although all of the tracks have grown on me considerably over the years, except for Fearless.  My least favorite Floyd track, even taking into account the stuff on The Final Cut.

EDIT: Just realized I included the anti-Fearless ramble in my first post.  Siento.

While I wasn't allowed to vote in this poll, I do want to add my input. It is a tie between One of theses days...I & Seamus. I would be very hard pressed to pick one over the other.

Echoes is obviously the best song on the album, but apart from it, I like Fearless very much, followed by One of These Days...

A Pillow of Winds.   Everything just blends together perfectly.  I'm at peace with mysefl when that song's on.

 
One of These Days is a hot contender though.  That was a favorite for many years, but it's worn out its welcome a little.

Now, I like Pillow of Winds. But before it would have been Fearless.
