Favorite song written by the WHOLE BAND

In the spirit of Real Pink's recent threads...

A couple things

1. I skipped a bunch of songs that I figured would get no votes.
2. I included the song A Saucerful Of Secrets despite the fact that Syd was an official member at the time, but didn't contribute. The man had stopped showing up at their recording sessions, I think he had stopped being a member by then.
3. When making the poll, I took one song from each album, then just put them at random.

"Oh bliss, bliss and heaven. Oh, it was gorgeousness and gorgeosity made flesh. It was like a bird of rarest spun heaven metal, or like silvery wine flowing in a space ship, gravity all nonsense now. As I slooshied I knew such lovely pictures."

"Careful wih that Axe, Eugene" has that effect on me.

E C H O E S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In any form, variation, live or studio, either just Dave on acoustic or Rick on piano, from '71 to '87, on any tour, high or low, drunk or stoned, tape or CD, from C# or Am, anyhow, anywhere...

Now that is the way to enjoy Echoes. I voted for Careful With That Axe, Eugene.

It Has to be Echoes!!!.......it's musically brilliant and lyrically poetic.
the first time i heard the line "Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me" i had totally visualized such a scenario.....i think a lot of Floyd songs can do that to you.....take you to another level and even inspire you creatively....Echoes certainly has this effect on me

Crofloyd said it good enough for me.

Yup, I gotta go with Echoes as well. Time is a very close second.

Wasn't AHM written mostly by Geesin or Ezrin or one of those guys? I'll hafta check out one of my PF books when I get home.

Gotta go with Echoes because it is just absolutely perfect. From start to finish it is seamless. A brilliant piece of music. I also really like Interstellar Overdrive and Careful With That Axe, Eugene and of course, I am one of those that loves AHM but have to go with Echoes in the end.

Am I the only one who is shocked that 16 votes have been divided between 3 songs?

echoes, with time coming in a close second, how original.....

10-4 isn't exactly close. 4 is less than half of 10 even, Tommy. LOL.

If I could enter another vote for "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" I would! Haha. Although I do love every song listed, very very passionately.

Not Echoes !!! I'm sick of listening to it. Nearly every ROIO between 71 and 87 has a version of echoes on it so it can get a bit tedious listening to it again and again. I went for Atom heart mother.
