All Time Favourite Pink Floyd Track?

See Emily Play: Something about the (as David Bowie put it) Peter Pan quality of Syd Barrett's music has always been seductive to me and I think this is my favorite one he's done; it's playful yet oddly fragile.
 
Shine on You Crazy Diamond drags on too much, I probably prefer some of their good short songs like See Emily Play, Corporal Clegg, Lucifer Sam, Bike, etc.
 
Damn I love both of those songs a ton. Dogs is definitly my favorite 'Animals' track, the intense and sarcastic Water's lyrics along with Gilmour's best soloing (maybe). The climax at the end is amazing, the last minute or so of the song.

And I really get the Peter Pan appeal, it is an awesome feeling in Barrett's music. Wayne Coyne and Robert Hitchcock put it best in this interview:



Syd Barrett: Wayne Coyne and Robyn Hitchcock Pay Tribute

It's a nice quick read, especially if you like both the Flaming Lips and Barrett. :)

But ultimately my favorite song is Interstellar Overdrive.
It didn't used to be my favorite Floyd song, but overtime the essence and crazyness of the song just captivated me. Amazing piece of work. My second favorite would probably be 'See Emily Play' or 'Matilda Mother', love the lyrics and passion put into the singing.
