Bump! What a cool poll!

Arnold/Candy just above Emily/Scarecrow.

Just go and see Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets while you still can and while Nick is still up for it.  They breathe so much life into many of these!

All these songs are just wonderful - including Apples & Oranges/ Paint Box (with no votes).

It Would Be So Nice to vote in this poll, but I only know Julia Dream from Mostly Autumn's much later cover version. I haven't heard the original version. Embarrassed

It has to be between Arnold Layne and See Emily Play. The latter has the better B-side, but on the other hand Arnold Layne is a little more edgy than Emily. Both are great songs.

I don't have many nice things to say about It Would Be So Nice and Point Me At the Sky (the B-sides are better than the A-sides in this case, though I prefer the Ummagumma version of Axe). It is remarkable that they made some really good album cuts in that period while the single material is so inferior. Post-Syd Floyd really wasn't a singles band.

Apples And Oranges is better than it sounds...

Paint Box: the bass line is pure bliss (not to mention vocals & everything else).
