Damn, i forgot to say, one of the worst floyd songs that i've never mentioned up until now (or have i?) is the song San Tropez. What a mess that song was, how did Roger make the jump from that to DSOTM? It was poorly written and everything about it was average at best.
This is just to keep the original topic alive by the way.

Oh yeah, looking back upon the top 10 worst songs list (most slagged and nominated songs) here's what we have:
1) The New Machine
2) The New Machine part 2
3) Corporal Clegg
4) A Spanish Piece
5) Seamus
6) Scream Thy Last scream
there's 4 places left people, nominate your bad songs and carry on this dumbing down debate.

Ummagumma
I dunno I happen to like Grantchester Meadows from Ummagumma (studio side). Very peaceful. Sysyphus is....boring. SSOSFAGTIACGWAP is...interesting to say the least but I can understand completely why it would irritate the living bejesus out of people. A Narrow Way is okay I guess, nothing really special, but that last song (Forget the title right now) I like, I find it rather comical to listen to whenever "under the influence" but otherwise it's just okay.

The trial (bloody bothersome bogstandard blather!)
Seamus (AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!)
The dogs of war (need to be put down!)
Corporal Clegg [color=orange]Edit[/color]
I really find the above quite an irritating bunch
[color=orange]I gather you're a red dwarf fan, but that word actually is a scientific term for something far to nasty to be written baout on this site - David[/color]

Looking at the lists people have posted it would appear that I possibly have the worst taste in Pink Floyd music!
I absolutely adore 'Corporal Clegg' (I cant believe anyone took this seriously enough to consider it bad!!), its great fun, so is Bike. ''On The Run'' has to be one of the first real pieces of electronic music (Dr. Who and Popcorn aside) which often comes in handy for shutting up boasting Kraftwerk fans but i guess Im just a sucker for electronic music. 'Dont Leave Me Now' is another fave of mine, I love the way Waters simple vocal part sets up for Daves even simpler but ultimately moving 'Oooh babe' vocal (possibly the best 'Oooh babe' vocal on the Wall!), complemented superbly by the simple guitar riff that accompanies it. However, I do find it completely impossible to defend 'New Machine', 'Dogs of War' and especially 'Terminal Frost'! One that tends to grate me tho is 'Money', probably a slight case of overbombing but every time I hear that cash register start up I just think 'Oh here we go again' and skip it, probably got killed off for me by the over extended live versions that just seemed to go on and on and on and............
