Money

Unrepresentative of Pink Floyd? Why do you say that? Is there any one song by them that is completely representative of them as a band?

No single song is fully representative of all their variety, but "Astronomy Domine" is certainly far more representative of their work than "Money". How often do you hear that one on the radio?

Nevertheless, if you play it for even though most casual listener, they will almost certainly recognize it as Pink Floyd. Familiarity with the song, not recognition of the style, permits listeners to recognize "Money" as the work of Pink Floyd. If we could only find someone familiar with Pink Floyd, but unfamiliar with "Money," we could test this.

Is that by their own admission?

I vaguely remember Roger Waters saying something to that effect, which makes it a sure bet that David Gilmore will disagree.

I seriously doubt that the casual listener will recognize it as Pink Floyd. I also don't think Money is a typical Pink Floyd song, but I agree most people would recognize it because they're familiar with it.

I'm tempted to agree with you because I love Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Saucerful of Secrets and Ummagumma and I don't like the bulk of PF's work after Meddle. I know I'm the minority but I don't think Pink Floyd at the time of Saucerful of Secrets had a lot to do with the PF of The Wall (not to mention Division Bell).

Edit: My point being that there's no point in discussing if a song is representative of their work as their work has changed dramatically over the years.

Oops, I first thought you meant that GinoJ was quoting a song (I read page 2 of this thread before reading page 1). Now that would be an idea - we could make a TOS song.

Maybe I'll test it. Perhaps I'll start by making a CD with a number of obscure songs, and have listeners play guess the artist/band. Garth Brooks' "Ireland" will fool some that think they know Country, and Frank Zappa's "G-Spot Tornado," although arguably very much in his style, will fool others.
