A Pillow of winds. Beautiful. One of my favorite Floyd songs.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Yeah, I like me some San Tropez. It's a nice song, with some of that gorgeous jazz in there that I like to indulge in. Seamus is just meh for me, really. I suppose it's nice to wind down with, especially in preparation for Echoes.

"A Pillow of Winds" is beautiful, but not entirely to my liking.  "Fearless" is equally nice, but drags on a little too long.  "San Troupez" I actually find rather pleasant.  "Seamus" is the only song on the album that's downright lousy.
 
But "One of These Days" is a truly great song, and one of the best album-opening tracks in prog history.

One Of These Days. For many reasons. One being that really thudding drumming that appears in it. Just before Mason starts regular drumming. Thats also a good bit. A tune full of good bits actually. And nothing else by Floyd quite like it. A moment of genius.

One of these days was bound to win this poll from the beginning; that's my vote by the way. For me this and Echoes are the only great songs on this album, but A Pillow of Winds and Fearless are somewhat OK for me too.

Definitely One Of These Days.  I've always had a very complicated relationship with Meddle...OoTD and Echoes are pure, unadulterated genius, but everything else feels extraneous.  Pillow of Winds is a pretty decent track, but Fearless is - easily - my least favorite Floyd track of all time.  It does less than nothing for me.  As for Seamus and San Tropez...they don't feel like dedicated songs.  A little filler, fleshing out an album that should have been composed of three tracks.

C'mon.  They could totally have stretched One Of These Days into a side-long track...Wink

Definitely One of These Days. The rest is basically filler, as far as I'm concerned.
