Voted Us and Them, it's a special song for me.
The only one I don't like is Welcome to the Machine

| Welcome to the Machine. I personally think Sheep is overrated. And for me, Us & Them and High hopes don't come close. And there's no good reason why I didn't go for One of these days, I just simply like WttM more. |

This is tough, So I'm not voting for the track I think is best which is all relative, I'm voting for my personal favorite, Sheep. Although it could have been WTTM or Us & Them easily. Personally I have never found the big 3 (DSOTM, WYWH, Animals) to be overrated, And how anyone could say such a thing is blasphemy to me.

"Us And Them" is such a dreamy, relaxing song and my favourite FLOYD tune. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Choosing between Sheep and High Hopes was hard. In the end, Sheep signifies what Pink Floyd has accomplished better. Oh, and Animals is amazing. -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

I was never all that crazy about Sheep or One of These Days, even though I'm a Floydophile. Good but not great.
High Hopes is the best song I've heard without Waters, but....it's without Waters.
Us and Them is just beautiful. It's so beautiful I even liked it when Alan Parson's Project re-recorded it as Time.
 But I think Welcome To the Machine is unbelievable. I love the acoustic guitar, the vocals, the lyrics, the sound effects, and the synths. I think it's darn near perfect and I'm not quite sure why it isn't higher on the ladder in the minds of Floyd Fans. Too simple?

I picked "One of These Days". First Floyd song I ever listened to, *sniff*.

"Us and Them" edges out "Welcome to the Machine". ------------- "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." - HST |

| "Sheep" for me - probably the best song on "Animals", and one of PF's masterpieces. |

This is not difficult poll, since anything from Animals wins by a mile. They reached a point in their career where everything was perfect. Too bad The Wall ruined it all. -------------

Easy. "Welcome" sucks, "Us" is boring. Now, "Sheep" and "High Hopes" are both good, of course, but "One of These Days" is THE Pink Floyd song, in my humbled opine. Never got better 'n that, at least, not with the whole "avantgarde" trip. ------------- "There seem to be quite a large percentage of young American boys out there tonight. A long way from home, eh?

Sure the intro of "One Of These Days" have a great b*****d f**kin groove (but "N.I.B." of Sabbath is better). Also "Us And Them" are great. I used this song like lullaby. Secure good results! ------------- It's dark... I've fear... I have strong pains... A serpent is being born... That badly I did, I? |

I love all those songs, except for one, which I really don't like very much at all, but then again, I'm one of those who think it essential to have Waters in Pink Floyd for them to have the same....balls. Or whatever you'd like to call it.
But for this poll, I voted "Sheep".

None of these are amongst my favourite Floyd tracks, and I don't like 'Sheep' at all. (Animals is one of my least fave Floyd albums) But my vote goes to 'Us And Them'.

Us And Them.
Floyd was good in creating a maximum atmosphere with simple lyrics, melodies and chords (I know no other band which can do that like Floyd). Us And Them is one of their best attempts. Moody, soulful... one of the best songs i heard in my life.
