Definitely and without a doubt Fearless. Great song but the other two are superior. Very un-Pink Floydian song, Fearless. Might have to download the Never Walk Alone song.

Echoes has gotsa win.

One of these days

fearless FTW

Fearless. A "One of These Days"/"Echoes" showdown ought to be exceedingly interesting.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Shit, this is where it gets difficult. I can't decide whether I want Fearless or One Of These Days to go... Fearless is a brilliant, perfectly crafted piece of music. The lyrics are also wonderful. One Of These Days, on the other hand, is an instrumental Floyd classic. The two delayed basses, the driving drums (who else air drums along to it?!), that slide guitar... I also love the story behind the title of the song.

This is too hard! I think I'll end up giving One Of These Days the boot...

 

[cobl04]

For me Fearless just simply isn't that good.

 

[lazarus]

Well I'm not going to feel bad if Fearless goes down to one of these two killer tracks. But I still think it's the best composition on the album. And that ending with the crowd singing just sounds SO AMAZING on a great stereo or set of headphones.

I just don't know what to vote for to give Fearless a better chance...

 

[LemonMelon]

Echoes again.

Fearless FTW.

 

[DaveC]

Welcome back COBL

One of These Days.

 

[cobl04]

Cheers Dave!

I just don't get the huge fascination for Fearless. It's good, but it's not that good. One of These Days is one of the very few instrumentals at six minutes I can listen to and not get bored. It's an awesome song.

One of These Days is one of the very few instrumentals at six minutes I can listen to and not get bored.

That's a shame.

 

[cobl04]

Well only this year have I extended my musical tastes, and only as far as five Floyd albums, four Bowie albums and four Beatles albums.

Take Low for instance - love most of it, but I find Warszawa to the be the worst track, a view I don't think most will share.

 

[Axver]

Oh man, I can't decide. Fearless or Echoes? One Of These Days is the clear winner for me. I'll have to give the tracks another listen or two before voting.

 

[cobl04]

18:14 to about 19:00 in Echoes.

The best music I have ever heard in my entire life.

And make it Fearless, son ^^

 

[Aardvark747]

Fearless. ECHOES TO WIN!

 

[Axver]

Yeah, Fearless it is. Tough choice though. I hope OOTD wins this.

 

[Screwtape2]

Fearless...again.

 

[LemonMelon]

 

[LMP]

Fearless...again.

 

[phanan]

Wow, this is tough. I have no idea which one to vote for.

 

[DaveC]

Poor Fearless

 

[cdisantis83]

One Of These Days is the clear winner for me.

Hey, we finally agree on something. Cheers!

 

[phanan]

Well, after mulling it over, I'm going with Fearless. It's one of my favorites, but One Of These Days is beyond classic.

 

[Lancemc]

I cant believe Fearless is going to get the boot before those two other songs.

I listened to Meddle again today on the train, and Fearless is easily the strongest part of the album, with either echoes or one of these days behind it. These are obviously the 3 best tracks, but I'm a Fearless supported through and through.

Unfortunately right does not always triumph over wrong.

Fearless is my favorite Floyd song.
