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. ------------- "I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do: I don't mind.

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. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

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 ------------- I'm so mad that you enjoy a certain combination of noises that I don't |

| 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. |

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. -------------

I really love Have a cigar from Wish you were here, for me one of better Floyd songs, Gilmour guitar rocks on this song. Also Summer 68 from AHM, where you can see all R.Wright talent but, he was always overshadowed by Waters and Gilmour, there was also similar situation in Yes with Rick Wakeman. Also Alans Psychedelic Breakfast is for me a little masterpiece, song which never caught too much attention. ------------- "I am not frightened of dying. Any time will do: I don't mind.

Not being a HARDCORE Pink Floyd fan, I can say I'm terribly dissapointed at "A Saucerful Of Secrets"... ALL those songs had a great potential but musically they just sound a bit dull... ._. So I won't call any of them underrated, although "Remember A Day" might come close to it. I'm also not a fan of aMLoR, "Dogs of War" sucks imo, and I never checked out "Final Cut" because I honestly hated "The Division Bell"
With that being said...:
1. The Trial - seriously brilliant song, and it's totally overlooked;
2. Fearless - yep,I think it's great;
3. Atom Heart Mother - Very original, although they FRIGGIN OVEREXTENDED IT... if it was like 15 minutes long it would be awesome:
4. Any Colour You Like - great instrumental imho;
5. Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk - let the flames begin;

| A lot of stuff from More ( Main theme, Cymbaline, Cirrus minor, Green is the colour, Quicksilver ) Fat old sun, Summer 68, most of Rick early tracks , Alan psychedelic breakfast, Embryo, some tracks from Obscured by clouds, Julia dream , the narrow way, Sysyphus, Let there be more light.....there are so many because too many poeple are only keen on Dark side and Wish you were here though they are great albums of course |

I was just about to say Embryo, but in all fairness it has never been released outside the BBC sessions and other bootleg recordings. Brilliant track - where the Floyd comes close to symphonic kraut. One of my favorite songs which never gets any notice is Biding my time from the Relics record.

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 am not frightened of dying.

But you know Ummagumma live album is cult too it's a Floyd classic, i remember at the time i was a teen listening to that album in my room with friends ( and incense  ) it was something new, something very special, yes the four pieces are high times in the pop music story, no doubt

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). |
Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: June 24 2011 at 22:20
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. |
Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: June 24 2011 at 22:25
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. |
Posted By: Dellinger
Date Posted: June 24 2011 at 22:28
| 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.

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. ------------- We are men of action.

Bike - I love Syd´s lyrical performance there.

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... ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Hmm.
I do remember that since the release of Dark Side of the Moon Floyd weren't underground anymore, cause from then on they attracted general attention. So underrated songs would more or less come from the phase before the release of DSOTM. Wonderful, but not fully appreciated imo are the lesser known songs from Saucerful of Secrets like Let there be more light, Remember a Day, Corporal Clegg or Jugband Blues (Syd's last effort with the Floyd).

i'd say "Alan's psychedelic breakfast" in some part of the long instrumental part there is a voice says "uzaylı seni seviyorum" in Turkish, which means "i love you alien" it was really shocking to figure it out! |

| Two Suns in the Sunset, The Gunner's Dream, Wot's...Uh, the Deal, A Pillow of Winds, Fletcher Memorial Home, Nobody's Home, maybe Mudmen. In general, both Obscured by Clouds and The Final Cut are left forgotten. I could never do that. |

I particularly agree with Mudmen... really love that song. The Fletcher Memorial Home is also great... and even more from The Final Cut is the title track; I guess that one could have been a great single. |

I suppose any of the early ones, especially the ones from Ummagumma.
The Narrow Way.... Ummagumma ('69) Sysuphys... Ummaguma Take up Thy Stethoscope and Walk... The Piper at the Gates of Dawn ('67) See-Saw... A Saucerful of Secrets ('68) Burning Bridges... Obscured by Clouds ('72) I depends who's rating it; if it's the radio DJ, then the list could go on for ever- there are even songs from the mainstream years that haven't been given enough credit: Dogs, Welcome to the Machine... |
