Favorite Track From 'Saucerful of Secrets'

Dito!

I think see-saw by a mile, I believe it's one of the most beautiful sounding songs of all time, I'd love somebody like Radiohead to cover it using full strings. The first time I heard see-saw it brought tears to my eyes, I feel it's a song that Rick fully expresses his emotions on regarding Syd -"she grows up for another man" - class. I feel very bitter listening to this song, I hear the awe-inspiring vocal harmonies and think why aren't Floyd considered the greatest, why isn't Rick allowed/encouraged to write more songs, why don't the band recognise songs like remember a day, paintbox as brilliant. Is it modesty?

I think everyone frowns whilst listening to the first 8 minutes of SOS (title track) but the last 4 is sheer excellence!!!! ask Jacob Druckman! tension, war, and requiem in 12 minutes!

Jugband o.k. opening nice finish - Davy Jones locker is not enviable!

Remember a day - extremely pleasant.

Corporal Clegg - one of the reasons this isn't Floyd's best album.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun - probably the most well known song off SOS....live versions tend to be better. Pompeii?

First track? - let there be more light...hummmm....a rockier number, I like the atmospheric ending, opening makes an impression. Average Floyd.

I voted Saucerful...

I happen to love the Clegg song. It's very amusing. The song I like least on the record is the jugband song. I detest the "art" of
using jugs for music. Big jugs are for sucking on, not blowing in.

Yeah, spacecadet, I don't like Jugband Blues, either. I never liked that marching band in the middle. It sounds just...pretty bad to me. That last part is good, though, almost enough to bring a tear to the eye when you consider the circumstances surrounding it.

Definitely the title track. It's something beyond words for me.

Let there be more light...the guitar introduction into this song is awesome

It was a close-run thing between ASOS and STCFTHOTS for me, but ASOS just wins as it paved the way for longer pieces like Echoes. I've heard a couple of FANTASTIC live versions of LTBML but as the band stopped playing it early on I've no real idea of how it might have evolved...

Saucerful of Secrets!

Set the Controls... no question!

I´ve voted Corpral Clegg... I don´t care of the other coments... I like that song over any of that record... just because is a happy/sad/stupid song... i like that kind of things, the The music is happy and kind of stupid ate the same time... but the lyrics are Sad... of course, not as sad as See-saw or Remember a Day.. but I like It... I like that mixture of feelings...

see saw is the weakest track on the album. it just doesn't get to me. Jugband blues, Barretts grand finale to the floyd, what a great ending. the acoustic part at the end of the song is just brilliant. and corporal clegg is really fun to play on guitar, with or without kazoos.
