None of those were"Obscured" to me. I spotted Cymbaline and knew it was my vote. Excellent track and my favorite from "More".
 
Fearless also wonderful. I'd never shut off any of the songs listed.
 
Mile after mile, stone after stone.
 
Great poll
 
I am so pleased to see Cymbaline leading the polls. Gonna find out where you fans really stand!
 
You're in good standing with me. Thumbs Up

There are quite a lot of titles (20 or more, I guess) which do not appear on any regular live or studio album - most of them date from before 1970. These are the ones that I should call "Obscure": Embryo is one of the most appreciated of these, but I use to think that it is a forestudy of Echoes because I have a bootleg of a 1971 gig in my collection on which the guitar sounds of the middle section were embedded in the song.
Nevertheless, I limit my choice to the tracks mentioned in this list (of which Wot's... Uh the Deal is post-Meddle btw). My vote goes to Let There Be More Light.

Thanks for this one. I have never heard it before. I think that the keyboard passages were reworked and used in Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun afterwards.

"Unknown song", a cosmic-space masterpiece from "Zabriskie point" BO.

I just found this awesome ""alternate"" version:

Astronomy Domine is surely one of Pink Floyd's most famous songs.  What's it doing in a poll about obscure songs? Pow R Toc H would be a far better choice from Piper.
 
Anyway, i voted for Let There Be More Light.  This is a stunningly brilliant track with possibly the best ever intro. 
 
Play it very loud.

I love those clips.  Thanks Zravkapt and Oliver. It helps to re-affirm why Pink Floyd was my favourite band for so many years.

Incidentally, like m2thek, when I saw the topic's title I, thinking it a not so obscure reference to Obscured by Clouds, would focus on that album.

The live versions of Embryo and Cymbaline on early 70's bootlegs are my favourite part about that era of Floyd, Embryo gets my vote

What about "Corrosion in the pink room"?
