Best Song on Pink Floyd’s ‘More’ Poll

What’s your favourite song on More? It’s going to be a landslide, but eh it’s more about the other picks anyway.

I love this album. Total pot album. My pick is Cirrus Minor, which just started a week ago. Before then it was always Cymbaline by far. My guess is Cymbaline, Green Is the Colour then The Nile Song. Funny song but there’s no way A Spanish Theme, the worst Pink Floyd song imo will get a vote. Surely.

 

Cirrus Minor for me... been in love with it since I was in my early teens and heard it on my copy of Relics that we must have bought from Woolworth’s in my home town some time around 1978. It’s always had such a sense of mystery to me.

I never used to like more, until a friend who owns a record store convinced me to give a lovely old vinyl copy a try... and now it’s essential Floyd to these ears but on my own needledrop I’ve got rid of Spanish Piece... is up the with Seamus as the worst of Floyd IMO...

 

Cymbaline just does it for me. Great moody piece on a great moody album

 

One of my favorite albums from my fave band,love the whole thing like a child but went with Ibiza bar cause of Daves sound on it.

 

My fav by PF. Went with Cymbaline.

 

Cymbaline. I don’t really care for More as a whole (there are a few songs I like), but I love “Cymbaline.” It’s such a strange and eerie song, but is very pretty at the same time. It sounds like music from a dream.

 

Amazing album, one of their absolute best! My vote goes to Green Is the Colour.

 

Fave by PF? Wow! Don’t blame you, though.

 

Cymbaline although I love it even more live.

 

I like the pastoral tunes and Gilmour vocals, I like the edgy tunes, I like the instrumentals and jams. I could do without Quicksilver.

 

Cymbaline, with Green Is the Colour at a close second.

 

Do you know if there’s a live version on the Early Years boxset?

 

Yes there at least 3 different live versions on there I believe. On the Man and the Journey show it’s listed as Nightmare.

 

Couldn't choose a fave track although I love Quicksilver a lot. A top 5 Floyd album for me.

 

Fantastic Pink Floyd album, where the Mk.2 version finally found their feet.

Difficult to choose a favourite, but despite its sometimes dodgy lyrics, I'm voting for Cymbaline

Hawkwind covered it early on:

 

I love the faster version of the main theme that turned up on the Early Years. If that had been on the LP (in place of a few of the throwaways) I would have voted for it - I think it would have changed perceptions of this album quite a bit.

As is it I went for Cirrus Minor, one of a great set of Waters tunes on side 1.

 

Listened to this CD for the first time in a long, long while recently and came away very impressed. Green Is the Colour, Cirrus Minor and Cymbaline are wonderful compositions.

But I have to go with The Nile Song. It's just a wall of volume with insane guitars and a great, great mood. They really let loose on this one. Always the song I come back to; even in the many years that passed when I did not listen to the More album.

 

Green Is the Colour

 

Cirrus Minor

 

I went with Cirrus Minor, though I associate that more with Relics as that's where I heard it first (and probably the song that got me into Floyd initially). Cymbaline is probably the signature "More" song though and is great. "Green" too is wonderful. Nile Song is one of those oddities where PF try to do "heavy" and produce their own slightly quirky, perhaps a little forced, version of heavy (which I still like by the way).

 

I sort of cheated and went with Ibiza Bar. Yes Cymbaline is probably my favourite but it's so familiar to me. I loved that moment when first listening to More when I discovered Ibiza Bar was like a cooler warmer version of The Nile Song with intriguing and hard-to-discern lyrics and it's only just behind Cymbaline as far as I'm concerned. I've said before it's probably the Floyd album I've listened to most, love it when they don't try too hard. Only thing lacking is Seabirds and am hoping that the inferior version they do have sees the light of day sometime, inaudible/poor/bad/unclear (whatever the adjective was) vocal or not.

 

Cymbaline, for me. One of my favorite early Floyd songs. I also love Green Is the Colour, as well.

 

Cirrus Minor
It’s perfect; the lyrics, the placement of the bird calls and that killer, eerie solo by Wright at the end.
Great for late at night headphone listening.

 

green is the colour for me

 

I went with Cymbaline.Love Richard Wrights keyboard playing.One of his best.Been listening to Pink Floyd since '76 but only heard this about five years ago.
