Mudmen is a top 5 PF track for me, I'm not joking. It's usually my go-to. It's perfect. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

Mudmen. Childhood's End would be my second choice followed by Obscured by Clouds/When You're In. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

"Obscured By Clouds", which I always thought was comparable to "One of These Days" from Meddle. ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Wots...Uh the Deal --- when I can't think of a song to play, this is one of my go-to songs.. Puts me in a better mood. I also love "Stay" ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |

I've actually come back around to this band and i've been really digging most of this record. I love the opener, almost gives me a bit of a Krautrock/Neu! feel. Mudmen and Absolute Curtains are great as well as of course Wats Uh The Deal. I'll have to relisten and think about it. ------------- The sun has left the sky... ...Now you can close your eyes |

| It's between Free Four and Childhood's End for me. Voted for Free four, to give it some love. |

| Childhood's End. I love the acoustic guitar strumming fading in just before the drums kick in. |

All tracks are good, but Stay has always been my favourite. The title track is second. -------------

| Not the album I was expecting as a follow up to 'Meddle' but I like the title song, 'Obscured By Clouds'. |

All in all an excellent album, often overlooked. My vote goes to Wot's... Uh The Deal, lovely tune, great title. |

I understand it was cooked up at the legendary Château d'Hérouville in around 6 weeks which was absolutely breakneck speed by Floydian standards! ------------- "We're going to need a bigger swear jar." Chloë Grace Moretz as Mindy McCready aka 'Hit Girl' in Kick-Ass 2 |

Underrated album with several excellent tracks. The last of Floyd before they polished every note. Going with Mudmen

For me, it's between 'Burning Bridges', and the reprise later, 'Mudmen', that really are sort of the same song; one with lyrics and the other instrumental w/ great and expressive guitar. Did a listen.. Burning Bridges it is. |

Probably "Wots...Uh the Deal". Not among my favourite albums |

I love the Mudmen one, but I had never really noticed Burning Bridges to be so very similar (nor have I heard it nearly as often). I guess I'll have to give that song another check. |

| "Free Four." That was the obvious radio tune, the one my local station used to play back in the day. |

TBH it's not really Waters' best lyric. This theme must have been on his mind at the time though, because he revisited it, this time with poignancy, on Breathe / Time. ------------- Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean |

These days, 'Wots... uh, the Deal' for me. There was a period there, in the very late 60's and early 70's, where Floyd sometimes had a folky, atmospheric, sometimes slightly psychadelic vibe which I really like ('Julia Dream', 'Grantchester Meadows', 'A Pillow of Winds', 'Wot's...', OTTOMH. There may be others I'm forgetting.) ------------- Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean |
