I actually prefer Have a Cigar...there's something about that song that I've always been in love with...but I can't put my finger on it. Of course--Watcher of teh Skies is an amazing track too.
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

Never was a big fan of either, but I have to go with Have a Cigar.

Watcher Of The Skies. Both have an interesting rhythm/groove, but WOTS has a more interesting lyric.

   Watcher of the skies because it is more atmospheric

Have a cigar was one of the stepping stones to Floyd's unfortunate decent to negativity

How wonderful to be so profound

Watcher of the Skies has one of the best (If not the best) intros in Prog' Rock, it's dark aggressive and absolutely atmospheric, so I go with it.

Have a Cigar is the song that got me into Floyd, thus getting me into prog, and is my fave song (though other songs are always biting at it's heels...)

Watcher Of The Skies for me....especially the Live version...
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson
