I would go further and suggest that it has always been a well known Floyd song, if only because of the catchy name.
 
It doesn't belong in this poll and has unfortunately distorted what is potentially an interesting question.

Those BBC recordings should have good enough sound quality to be released... THEY SHOULD BE RELEASED!!!

Then I guess I would have just about enougu early Floyd Live, which for me is much better than early Floyd in the studio.

My favorite "obscure" Floyd would have to be:

1. Cirrus Minor
2. The Narrow Way, part 3
3. Embryo

Of those I'd go with Fearless, outside of that it would be Careful with that axe Eugene from Ummagumma
You must be joking.....Take a running jump......

I don't think those choices are very obscure so I go with Jude111 and say The Narrow Way.
It's a piece of music that's almost never mentioned but nevertheless set a standard for the future Floyd sound. It's the foundation of Dark Side of the Moon in fact, if you listen carefully. But also of course for earlier works such as Atom Heart Mother and the whole of Wish You Were Here.

The live version of Cymbaline from The Man and The Journey is the fashizzle.

the narrow way is a very interresting piece of music, it shows the Gilmour way on guitar, very innovative at the time

For me, 'Set the Controls...' is probably my pick. Whether it's the live Pompeii one or the studio, not sure. Perhaps studio, as I like the more muffled nature of Roger's voice on the the studio version

It's a pity Gilmour has had such a hard time hitting those high notes the few times he's tried to perform the song live; otherwise perhaps it would get the nod over "Fat Old Sun," which he has played pretty frequently but in my opinion isn't quite as good...

Yeah I like it I don't think it's the best of that era but I love the melody. However it's badly recorded, Waters and Mason said it was one of the worst song they ever did.

To answer the question more seriously, I would go with any live version of Careful with that Axe. Runners-up would be ''Point Me at the Sky'' and ''See Emily Play''.

Echoes and Astronomy Domine being excluded cause I don't consider them ''Obscure''
