Okay, we've all heard "Favorite song", "Favorite Live Song" and stuff like that . But, I was thinking, what about those less liked. So... List your least favorite Pink Floyd songs. Those you may not like as much as others, or maybe are disappointing.

I'm gonna say I don't really like See-Saw, or much of The Grand Vizier's Garden Party..

I've always felt "Sheep" is an incredibly overrated song. I mean, it's okay, but I'd have to say that I prefer every other song on Animals to that one. I guess people like it because it's about us, we're the sheep, for the most part anyway, so we identify with it, and we always like songs we can identify with. But we must look past that and see that the other two songs are more important, since they come from a sheep (despite his assertion that he is a dog) that recognizes the horror of modern life and has the courage to express it in song, in rock and roll no less, which USED TO BE the voice of revolution. But the dogs and pigs know the sheep will never take what Waters has to say seriously, they will only head-bang and smoke dope and think "Wow, he's right, look at the Orwellian world he has constructed," and think about it and discuss it ad nauseum, and ultimately do nothing. A sad world we live in...

I'm sorry, I appear to have strayed from the original question. But what I said earlier about it being an overrated song and my least favorite on the album holds true. I'd add to the list of least favorites the songs "Chapter 24," "Coming Back to Life" and "The Narrow Way."

1. The Grand Vizier's Garden Party
2. Sysyphus
3. Pow R Toc H
4. Seamus
5. Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast
6. The Happiest Days of Our Lives (should never have been included on "Echoes")
7. A New Machine
8. See-Saw
9. Julia Dream
10. Paintbox

Meeeh, Pow R Toc H is awesome

And The Happiest Days of Our Lives is integral part of ABIBTW2, they can't be separated like you can do with Speak To Me and Breathe

As for my least favourite songs... Ummagumma Studio side.

It is complete, utter crap that should've never seen light of day minus The Narrow Way. Part 2 and Part 3 are ok and listenable. And Grooving picts whatever gets points for insanity.

Otherwise... jesus

New Machine Part 1 & 2 but really, are these even songs?

Oh, and nice chunk of More stuff. Can't say Atom Heart Mother suite impresses me much, but it ain't that bad.

the only PF song which I really don't like is The Dogs Of War

I think Chapter 24 is really the weakest Syd song. Sysyphus doesn't particularly strike me. It's okay, but really kinda annoying after a while. And A New Machine isn't really interesting at all...

Really? My copy of "A Collection Of Great Dance Songs" disagrees with you.

Yeah, that is true. I mean, THDOOL doesn't necessarily have to be attached to ABITW2.

I'm with you on several of these tunes, but Julia Dream and Paintbox are actually two of my all-time fave Floyd songs. I love some of the early Syd-like stuff that Roger and Rick wrote... Remember a Day and Cirrus Minor are a couple of other obvious examples. Obviously, they were trying to emulate Syd, but I think they did a great job of it, resulting in great little acid-pop tunes. Relics rules!

I actually like Seamus, too--it would be really annoying if it went on for very long, but at 2:15 minutes, it is a nice interjection of humour. Sisyphus is pretty cool, too--serious avant-garde insanity, and the best thing on the studio disk of Ummagumma.

Anyway, my personal least fave PF tunes:

1). Terminal Frost (Kenny G, anyone?)

2). Yet Another Movie (thought this was cool and mysterious-sounding when I was 18, but now it just sounds like 4 chords repeating endlessly over a repetitious melody and overbearing synth parts)

3). Dogs of War (fairly good music and singing, but horrible, cliqued lyrics. It's amazing to me that Anthony Moore later wrote a lot of the moving lyrics to Broken China... here, he sounds like a real hack)

4). Not Not John (liked it when I was a kid, now it just seems an overblown, shrill and annoying cockrock tune, with Dave sounding macho and Roger sounding constipated)

5). The Grand Vizier's Garden Party (boring as hell, with Nick playing around with his drums, and what a pathetic little melody that his wife plays on the flute or recorder or whatever).

6). Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast (The breakfast noises are amusing exactly one time, and the first few musical sections are hardly an improvement, although there are some nice parts near the end where Dave does some cool stuff over a great Rick piano chord progression. AHM would be much improved if they had just left this off)

7). One of My Turns (first you get an "ominous" synth playing dreary, aimless chords, and then Roger starts tunelessly warbling about his failed marriage--the whole thing sounds like a mix of the worst aspects of PF and post-Peter Gabriel Genesis, although it is somewhat redeemed when the guitars and drums kick in... until the end when Roger sings "WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AWWWAAAAY, and the song segues into...)

8). Don't Leave Me Now (the SAME EXACT "ominous" synth tone, except for this time, Roger is yowling instead of warbling about his failed marriage)

9). More Blues (an astoundingly generic blues jam--sounds like a bunch of 15-year old kids noodling in a garage. I assume that Rick isn't on this because he was embarrassed by it)

10). A Spanish Piece: (might have been a decent little flamenco interlude, but is ruined by Dave's moronic muttering in a fake "Spanish" accent)

11). Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk (no wonder Roger doesn't like Piper--you have a bunch of wonderfully witty Syd songs surrounding this embarrassment... This song really cracks me up because it sounds like one of my first few attempts at writing a "song"... come up with an ultra-simplistic riff, and then USE THE EXACT SAME RIFF AS THE VOCAL "MELODY"... then write lyrics under the mistaken impression that you have to have 8 lines in a row that rhyme with each other... "bed," "head," "lead," "bread," "fed," "lead," "bled," "red"... it really sound like junior high school poetry. Most musicians have written this kind of song, but few have been foolish enough to actually record them. The weird thing about this tune though, is that the band plays it so enthusiastically that they almost redeem it!)
