Wouldn't exactly call "Domine" obscure. Would've picked something like Chapter 24 or Flaming from Piper.

I went with Let There Be More Light. Always a favorite of mine from my favorite early Floyd album.

"Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun". Simply brilliant. 

And the live versions from "Pompei" and "Ummagumma" are even better.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

And this is why PF is my fav group.  There are very few songs that I don't like and many that are truly outstanding.  "Let There Be More Light" for this poll

From the list, Fat Old Sun.  The Narrow Way Part III, otherwise. There are so many though.

There are too many songs that I can list here. But I want to pick one of the list. I choose "Fat Old Sun". It impress me so much. This song show Dave's potential clearly. I think PF use this format (Fat old sun) to creat great songs after AHM album.

I know what you mean, about Fat Old Sun being the format for Pink Floyd songs. Mellow, slow, spacey, and Gilmour's beautiful voice. We don't hear him singing like this until after this song.

Not that obscure, and definitly not an unknown track: the pre-DSOTM version of On the Run. Plenty of great live recordings of that one.

I love Fat Old Sun. Especially the live version from Remember That Night DVD. The guitar solo in the end is awesome.

^ Indeed, that version of Fat Old Sun is stunning. However, I still wish there was an official good sounding live recording of that song on the pre-Dark Side years. I've heard some live bootlegs and it sounds really cool (sort of a similar way to songs on Ummagumma live or Pompeii). Indeed there should be a live release of this years, most of their songs were much better and much more interesting live than in studio... you could almost say that the complete versions of their songs were the live ones.

^Yea, I've heard a couple of bootleg Fat Old Sun, and they sound terrible. Terrible in a sense that the recordings hurt when you play it loud, and everyone knows you have to play Pink Floyd loud. Tongue

Extremely close poll!
 
To the "Fat Old Sun" folks. I too was on that bandwagon, still am. However, I believe that "Summer '68" (How Do You Feel) is the EVERYTHING INCLUDED Floyd song.
Well, there it is. (Amadeus)
