Us and Them for me. I've gotten tired of most of the album as many times as I've heard it (blasphemy in most circles, I know, but it's true). Us and Them just resonates more with me emotionally than the other tracks. time and Any Colour You Like I'm still fond of too, though.

A wonderful album which was way ahead of it's time. The production even on the original version is miles better than you'll find on other releases of that time.
As to the poll, I'll go with Any Colour You Like. Next would be Eclipse.
In truth the whole thing is brilliant, and 30odd years after I first heard it I still love it just as much, if not more.

Never liked the production much (although 1973 was a funny year in that respect as I couldn't pick anything from that year that I particularly like from a production point of view).
I only began to really appreciate this album when I heard it played live by Roger Waters a few years ago On The Run was especially scary stuff at Birmingham NEC. An album to play loud imo.

"Us and Them" for me!
VERY interesting article contain many facts & much trivia about the album:
Do we think Mr. Waters has much of an ego?

Virtually impossible to separate - but if pushed it would have to be 'Time' - or 'Breathe' for me.

Not a big fan of the album but Time is easily the best track on it.

This, but Time is tied with Great Gig in the Sky as far as I'm concerned.

Definitely "Time". I got into this album in May of my freshman year in high school. I remember walking around school singing, "ticking away the moments that make up a dull day" to myself all the time

In the late 70s when I was at school my teacher recited the whole lyric onstage in front of the entire school
