It must be "On the Run"... as part of the album it works well and I wouldn't take it out, but individually it does nothing. Close would be "Money"... I can enjoy it if I listen to it, but it's really not my cup of tea.

No, no weak tracks, no least favorites, no vote.

I agree.
Sad to see people mentioning Time and Great Gig in the Sky as least favorite or bad.

No vote here. I never liked this album too much, for some reason it never worked for me. But on the other side I agree it's concept work and take one song out of it is not possible. If so then On The Run isn't proper song, it's collection of sound effects... but in that place of the album it fits well.

Any colour is boring. Starts off ok but just drags on when the guitar comes in. Great gig is annoying and almost as weak to listen too. Got bored of money and brain damage pretty quickly too
|
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Another album that I see as a unit, not a song-by-song experience. To me, each piece is essencial to the whole product, so I don't really have a favorite or a "I don't like" part of it.

There is no good song on this album. As a matter of fact, it's all good.

^That doesn't make any sense. Made me laugh sounding like whoever it is at the end of the album.

I didn't put Speak to Me under consideration here. It's just an intro and, if I'm not mistaken, it is merged with Breathe as one track on some issues of the album.
Any Colour You Like it is then.

Floyd were a pretty limited band. Not overly talented composers or musicians. They tried the prog thing from 73-77. They got it right with animals. Took 3 attempts from dark side, wish and animals. They improved a bit each album. But they really peaked with medal and obscured as a band playing what they do best. But animals is my fave

I heard that they got a bunch of their friends together to just say random things for the album but most of them tried to be clever about it, which did not work out. Only this one couple who did not try to be clever, who merely talked, made it to the recording.

I find Money winning this thing puzzling. Sure, it's more rock than prog, but what a zippy respite from what's predominately a somber affair.
