"Time", but if it didn't contain a reprise of "Breathe", I would have a hard time deciding between the two. This way, "Time" gives me both in one package.

A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-...
Oh ... Oh ... O-o-o-o-o-o-...

That one, with the orgasmic singing almost throughout the track. I gotta nail the chords to that "song" ... probably today.

Ticking away at the moments that make up a dull day.  Time is perhaps the most iconic song on this album - certainly its opening is the most iconic section.  Still, I think of it as a total immersion experience - to get the most out of it, you cannot extract any one track out of the album.  Full length listening is mandatory.  Anything otherwise is just a waste of time.  I am not surprised at the poor showing of Money - for many proggers and musicians it is a low point on the album.  Me, I think it's a great tune, but not my favorite.  I would also put Us and Them above it.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

The Gig reigns supreme on a rather seminal album! 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

No vote. It is an album greater than the sum of its parts.

To me, Us and Them is one of the most beautiful sounding songs. I agree with Lazland though.

Perhaps, but I don't like it much.  I guess there's no accounting for taste.

I completely agree.
 
This and The Snow Goose are two albums I never listen to bits of. You get so much more from the experience if you listen to the whole thing.

Time.  It has one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded.  2nd place to Us and Them, a goosebump song.

I almost wanted to vote for "On the Run", because I really think that track is super cool and I never get tired of it like I do the other tracks.  But honestly, it's not my favorite.

Time, the quintessential PF track, IMO.

ended up with Any Colour You Like mostly cause it's one of the few tracks that I can listen to on its own without feeling bad, I've often told people when listening to that song that "this is what LSD feels like" haha.

otherwise, my favorite songs would be Breathe and Time by far.

^ "Brain Damage" is supposed to be a track about how Roger felt about Syd. I happen to be one of those many people that cannot share that same feeling. Guess you have to be Roger to dig it the most from the album.
