I picked "Fat Old Sun". I actually probably like "Astronomy Domine" a bit more, but it's actually close to a tie with me with "Fat Old Sun", plus "Fat Old Sun" isn't getting much love in the poll, and "Fat Old Sun" also has some specific nostalgic significance to me (and I mean specific--related to a particular person and a particular location where I spent some time with them) that "Astronomy Domine" doesn't really have.

I suppose Fearless.....one of the few Floyd albums I listen to anymore is Meddle.

Let There be More Light, although I love Wot's the Deal as well.

These songs may be "obscure" to non-Floyd fans......that said, wot's the deal with the lack of love for Wot's the Deal? In fact, Obscured by Clouds overall doesn't receive enough kudos, especially Gilmour's Wot's the Deal and Childhood's End.....excellent album and a companion piece to Meddle.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

obscure? Pink Floyd?  Yeah.. if you say so... my vote.. not for being obscure.. but for being unappreciated...for the song.. for the entire album Cymbaline

I quite agree. I love Summer '68. I'm also fond of It Would Be So Nice and all the songs on MORE that Gilmour hates. And Zabriskie Point. And Syd's eccentric delights. Would rather hear Lucifer Sam than Comfortably Numb in concert.

I was going to vote "Other" and suggest "Mudmen".
But then I noticed the Meddle cut off point.
So " Let There Be More Light" it is then!

^ Thanks for being the first one to notice  I know its not really "obscure," just to me at the time when I started to listen to early Pink Floyd.

I have just noticed that in the title of the thread obscure is in "quotes" ... "obscure" ... .

Fearless. One of my favorite Floyd tunes. You'll never walk alone!
