Which track off the studio disc of Pink Floyd's fourth album, and first double release, Ummagumma is your favourite?

Please vote and comment.

Grantchester Meadows for me, as with Cirrus Minor or Julia Drean, it's Roger at his haunting best.

Definitely one of Roger's. 

I'll give it to Several Species as its currently voteless.

Ok, now it's clear that I can't vote in this kind of polls. I'm used to consider all the PF albums as a single whole thing.

true, but not all their work is a single whole thing. Songs can be enjoyed separately.

Yes indeed and as a massive PF fan, even though it's important to listen to each album in its entirety, there are always tracks that standout for you.

Well, would Grantchester Meadows and Several Species be the same without the fly?
You are right, not all the PF albums are concept albums. Obscured by clouds it's just a collection of songs, but it's the way I'm used to listen to it. Voting a best song means excluding another, and honestly I can't choose. On Ummagumma studio side they are so different one from the other that it really depends on my actual state of mind.

I've always loved Sysyphus, truly one of a kind within the Floyd catalog.

you are taking this poll way too seriously. 
Of course the order of songs on an album matters, songs are in a particular order for a reason, especially with Floyd. You are right here.

You should have left an option 'All of them'; I really cannot choose since this is one of my top Floyd albums... But for the sake of voting I will cast one for

The Narrow Way. And particularly part 3. I really wanted to have a good live version of this song, played by the whole band (though it actually sounds as if it was played by the whole band here), but the ones on The Early Years don't really get it right... which is strange, since usually their live versions of the early songs are better... yet in this case, instead of expanding, it even has the final solo shorter. Oh, and Gilmour should really come back to this song and play it live in his solo concerts. Also, I'm missing the live tracks in the poll (yeah, I guess they were not included because they are not studio and / or they would have left the studio tracks without votes).

I love the album, everything on this one is special. Very hard to vote really, all four have something great on offer. I'd vote for Rogers' two songs en bloc, but if I consider them individually, Sysyphus just about wins it with everything else not far behind.
