What you think which Pink Floyd songs are underrated and never caught real attention but are very good piece of work?
You can name few songs not just one, and you can name songs from any Pink Floyd phase.

To be honest I can't think of any.

On the Turning Away
Yet Another Movie/Round and Around
Terminal Frost

In my opinion, if Dogs of War wasn't on A Momentary Lapse of Reason, it would be a very easy 4/5. Now, it's probably a high 3.5/5.

Is "Echoes" from "Meddle" underrated?   I don't hear it discussed much, and I consider it to be a masterpiece. 

"Dogs" from "Animals" is another favorite of mine.  I rather believe that "Animals" is something of a forgotten album, unless that is just my perspective.

Nah. It has a rather huge following

I would say that Atom Heart Mother is rather underrated. Maybe not on the archives, but the album got pretty much universally bad reviews elsewhere

The Wish you were here album gets some mixed reviews, but I think it's great. Obscured by Clouds is amazing and really should be looked at again. See Emily Play's actually a pretty fun tune, very Beatles-esque. Interstellar Overdrive is also very awesome, but not the first thing people think of when they think, "Pink Floyd"

Remember A Day, Paintbox and Summer '68 are three of my favourite Floyd tracks and I think they are massively under rated.  There was something about Rick's songs, quite mounrful and introspective, but beautiful.

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling...

'Nuff said, that track is amazing and no one really acknowledges it.

I should think so, and it is a great track. I also agree with the post re Final Cut. Although essentially a Waters solo piece, under the Floyd name, it is a great album and statement.

Good choice matey as I've always loved these track to bits and yes, Rick's songs have a eerie callow wisdom about them that's genuinely moving. Great lyrics to boot.

Corporal Clegg has always been a personal favourite of mine.  Got to love the kazoo.

I agree with Gareth about the Richard Wright compositions. But I would also add the Ummagumma studio album (except The Grand Vizier's Garden Party).
 
I think Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict is one of the most underrated Floyd Songs.
 
Another one: The studio version of Careful with That Axe, Eugene, which is unjustly overshadowed by the live versions.

Me too, these are great choices. Wish the mix on 'Remember a Day' was a little better though
