I voted Emily/Scarecrow because Emily is my favourite pop-ish song the Floyd have done, and because the mono mix of Scarecrow on The Early Singles is superior to the stereo version!

Mass props also to Point Me At The Sky ("If you survive to 2005, I hope you're exceedingly thin...", which Mr Gilmour won't be, unfortunately!), and its B-Side, the massive early version of Careful With That Axe Eugene. Starting with these songs, the Floyds' stereo mixes start being better than their mono mixes.

Scream Thy Last Scream's B-Side was announced as being Millionaire before the single was canceled. Vegetable Man was never intended to be used as a single, but it was considered for A Saucerful of Secrets when that album was still in the "Leftovers from Piper" stage of development.

In the end, the song was considered too disturbing for public release and the album evolved beyond being just a collection of outtakes from Piper. The surviving Floyds all burst out laughing when they listened to Vegetable Man again in 1971 while compiling Relics. Frankly, it scares me even more than Jugband Blues and I don't listen to it at all.

Hard choice between Emily and Arnold Layne, went for Emily in the end.

The rest are pretty bad really...

candy and a currant bun, of course. but i didnt see it. so i went with apples and oranges.

Well, it would have to be either See Emily Play or Apples and Oranges. Nothing else seems quite as good as they were for that period.
