Young lust just sounds a little poppy to me
Young Lust was actually written to sound "poppy" as it was a representation of Pink's popular rock song in the movie "The Wall", therefor hurtling him into stardom... unless I am mistaken.

I think all love scenes on the zabreski point album are very floydian. It's very bluesy, if you ask me, and you can find bluesy elements in many floyd songs. The same goes for Oneone.

i think san tropez is one of the most unfloydy songs. just listen to.... compare the lyrics with echoes for example.. it was even written in a mostly unfloydian way (at least in those days) with roger having the song completed and the band just playing the chords.
""nobody home" off the wall is also pretty unfloydy. but then again, the whole album kinda is.
