Ummagumma studio album is nice piece of work, also people must realize that all expiriment which Floyd did came to making something so gold like Dark side of moon, Pink Floyd is band which had normal natural development. And phase Dark side - Wish you were here - Animals - Wall is best phase, but without Meddle,Ummagumma,Atom heart mother it will never be that way.
Also Ummagumma live album is for me one of best psychedelic/prog live albums, maybe better than Live at Pompei which has cult status to Floyd fans. |

I agree with you there, that track is interesting in their output, wish they'd expanded this feel a couple more times in their career. Not complaining, but I did enjoy Biding My Time, sounds like they're having fun |

"Scarecrow" is fantastic.....god I love that. Arnold Layne, Emily, Astronomy.....Much of the early stuff is fantastic despite what their creators think......

I can think of several Pink Floyd songs that I love and don't get much attention from the band members or fans in general, at least as far as I've seen:
- Julia Dream. - Let there be more Light. - Remember a Day. - The Narrow Way (Specially part 3... and part 2 is pretty cool too). - Mudmen. - When the Tigers Broke Free. - The Hero's Return (parts 1 & 2 together, only released as a single, I believe, the one released on the album is far too short to be actually enjoyed, it rather leaves me frustrated). - The Fletcher Memorial Home. - The Final Cut (the song). - On the Turning Away. - Yet Another Movie. - Terminal Frost. - Marooned. - A Great Day for Freedom. Though there are more songs that I like that don't receive so much attention, but I guess these are my very favourites. And some others that I love and that some may consider un-appreciated, but that I actually think they receive enough love. Oh, and a special mention for "Murder", by David Gilmour solo, which is a really great song that doesn't get much attention either (the live version is really great, I wish it would be officially released). |

At least in PA, I'm under the impression that Echoes, Dogs, and Animals in general, are very well apreciated. Echoes would very likely win almost any poll about Pink Floyd songs. And Animals would beat just about any album, and end up in a very close competition against Dark Side and Wish you Were here. |

Very beautiful song too. Though the live versions of the 70's were far better than the studio (not so "beautiful", but with some really cool extended solos). The live version Gilmour did on his las tour was also very good, with the guitar solo extended (though not as much as on the 70's), and with an updated more polished sound... it would actually have fitted very well on "The Division Bell" or "On an Island". And there's also the acoustic version on the DVD "David Gilmour on Concert"... though unfortunatley that doesn't have the guitar solo at all. |

Oh, another special mention to the version of Wright's "Breakthrough" played on "David Gilmour on Concert", sung by Wright himself... really beautiful, much better than the original (for me), and with Gilmour's guitars and backing vocals, the female chorus, and Dick Parry on Sax, it almost sounds like a genuine Pink Floyd song.

Five tracks from the Saucerful of Secrets album come immediately to mind:
Saucerful of Secrets (very different to the Ummagumma version)
Let There be More Light
Corporal Clegg
Remember a Day
Jugband Blues
Also;
See Emily Play
If
Summer 68
Atom Heart Mother
Welcome to the Machine
I would have said Fat Old Sun once, but it seems to have become quite fashionable in recent years.
Fearless is probably under-rated but i think it is spoilt by the football crowd chanting at the end. If Waters was determined to include this on Meddle it should have been stuck on the end of Seamus which was already a novelty track.

Oh, I get it now... I guess my absolute lac of musical knowledge makes it harder for me to understand :3
No problem tho, I got it under control - gonna start learning how to play guitar and reading music next year (is 17 y/o too late to start btw? Oo)

Pigs (Three Different Ones) is imo the greatest Floyd song, but whenever anyone talks about Animals they always bring up Sheep or Dogs.

I think Obscured by Clouds is one of their strongest albums.

I love 'Pigs' too, probably my favourite track on the album - for its atmosphere and outro amongst other moments. Although compositionally I still find 'Dogs' more interesting and with 'Sheep' it's nice to have the band pick up the pace a little, but 'Pigs' just has always been a fav, especially lyrically. |

Bike - I love Syd´s lyrical performance there. Peter Gabriel has always been at the top, when it comes to epitomizing and ridiculing the English ways, but I think Syd was there first, and he did one hell of a job. Funny and finger pointing mirror - he was.
I really love that guy.

In a strange sort of way - I completely agree with you, although I wouldn´t rate it as high as Animals, Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother or Wish you were here. Just goes to show how individual music is, and how weird and inhuman it is to put a number/verdict on music you adore...
