Excellent Obscure Pink Floyd songs?

[nutso42]

A friend recently lent me his entire Pink Floyd collection (which seems to be every commercially available Pink Floyd recording there is).
Now, I'm already a big fan of Pink Floyd, but still I've only heard about 1/3 of their stuff.
So while I have this collection, are there any really good obscure Floyd songs which I may have never heard before?


(if it helps, favorite albums are "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and "Animals" ..... and obviously, "The Wall")

The entire Umma Gumma album is amazing.

My fav is "Be carefull with that axe, Eugene"

 

[GtenderG]

I love 'Free Four'. Don't know if that is obscure as it did get airplay at one point.

Pretty much everything on "Obscured by Clouds" is amazing and not really well known. You can also check out "Nile Song" and "Cymbaline" off of the album "More"

I'm a huge fan of "Sorrow," but I'm not sure how popular it is.

 

[Texan]

"See Emily Play"...one of my all time favorites

 

[PlungerModerno]

They have some super stuff. Everything off Darkside of the moon, Wish you were here and most of animals and the wall. Early stuff doesn't do it for me quite the same.

Have a cigar, sheep, and run like hell are my fav's of the 'not everybody knows' group of Floyd material. I don't know any obscure stuff that's nearly as compelling or excellent as 'time' for example.

One of these days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces) is really, really badass.

One of these days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces) is really, really badass.

That song was my first introduction to lesser-known Floyd. Can't go wrong with 2 bass separate bass tracks!

 

[That Axe]

My band covers "see emily play" at first I wasnt so sure about this one but it actually comes off really well and I do enjoy playing it.

You heard that one about the Bricks In the Wall? Not very popular, but is awesome.

The rest isn't bad either (but more commonly-known tunes).

And good on yer for liking Animals; my favorite of theirs.

The Nile Song
Astronomy Domine

Great songs, both perfected by Voivod

 

[nutso42]

Thanks so far for the suggestions. Only a few of these have I heard so far.

But at this point, this one is the best... V

One of these days (I'm going to cut you into little pieces) is really, really badass.

Also +1 to Free Four and Fearless.

I was into early Floyd a lot when I was a teenager -- Ummagumma, Meddle, Relics, etc. (DSOTM was actually the last good Pink Floyd album imho!)

But the only tune from that early period that's really stuck with me is "Bike"
