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. Iván -------------

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 |

Watcher of the Skies is by far the best of the two. Have a Cigar being a weaker Floyd song, in my humble opinion of course.
And i am only a newby here so what do i have to say.. |
