SUMMER 68  .....followed by the first 3!
That's a weird selection especially towards the end, but i guess mine would be strange as well
  ..and what i like is you're going the road less travelled! |

| I'm voting Astronomy Domine. Pick yer version, but it's the first PF song I ever heard, when I put that needle in the groove on Ummagumma. |

Sheep. Can't get enough of those chords in the outro... One of Pink Floyd's more creative and unique tracks. Creepy and yet upbeat. Much a fan. Animals is their strongest release, in my opinion.

| San Tropez is it for me. Along with Fearless, one of the hidden gems of Meddle, or maybe the whole Floyd discography. |

Lots of personal favourites of mine in this list... Makes it hard to choose only one! Anyway, I voted for "Sheep", a tour-de-force that marries great music (I totally endorse LiquidEternity's use of the word 'creepy' to describe its atmosphere) with Waters' lyrics at their vitriolic best. Runners-up for me would be "Astronomy Domine" (one of the best album openers in the history of music), "Remember a Day", and "Welcome to the Machine". |

Not easy to choose from, the more because this list contains a few of my early favourites.

Jozef, you have included 2 of my very favourites, Sheep and Any Colour You Like. However, as a Floyd buff I love most of these.
I will vote for Sheep, an incredible piece of music. The proggy instrumental break in the middle is immense, and as for the end sequence, well, simply brilliant.
Great poll

from this list: 1, sheep Why? Gilmour solo wow!
2. Welcome to the machine why? Rick key's work is amazing!
3. The Nile Song Why? Very underrated song but great Gimour does a great job!
4. Astronomy Domine Why? the lyric is awesome! and Syd masterpiece.
I actually like all the song from your list because I am an huge fan of the Mighty Floyd but the weakest song from the list. is San Tropez and I am not to profound with that song.

| "Welcome to the Machine", fantastic. One of my favourite songs. To ear in very special moments, that sounds and heavy keyboards, change my mind completely |

| I'm glad you included Sheep because that is currently my favorite Pink Floyd song, though mood and listening habits can change that at any moment. |

I don't care for really anything by them unless it was on Animals. So by default, and the fact that it's a great song, Sheep gets my vote.
