Just one song has to be eliminated for More to join the game.

Flaming (the only easy choice)
Corporal Clegg
Point Me At The Sky
 
Vap, do you consider adding "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" when Ummagumma comes on? I sure hope so, even if it's a live version. It's quite a classic. Also: The studio version was a B-side of their single "Point Me at the Sky" and is also featured on Relics.
 
The bonus songs for this were discussed in the Survivor Tracker thread awhile back. You should be able to find a list of what he's adding, Careful With That Axe is one of them.
 
Astronomy Domine, Flaming, Lucifer Sam, Arnold Layne, Corporal Clegg, Point Me At The Sky.

I don't care much about pre-Meddle Floyd. Some great stuff on second album, but the whole space-psychedelic rock doesn't click for me as much as 70's prog Floyd does.

I just heard Zabriskie Point and I find Country Song good enough to compete:
Cool electric guitar motive and fine singing by Gilmour.

I also like these two Richard Wright piano recordings:
These three songs did not appear on the original soundtrack album, so they're relatively less known than average Floyd.

Forgive me, but I find this nuts. It's exactly the opposite. Nile Song (possibly Floyd's heaviest song) features awesome drumming and Gilmour is great on it. What an energy an spirit! Ibiza Bar comes later on the album, is way paler, more monotone (less modulation) and less is going on (and it's shorter, so not more in that sense either).

edit:
I really like More but especially side one. My second favourite side from the pre-Wish You Were Here era, ranked behind Meddle, side 2 (Echoes!). I like the variety on it. In heaviness, but also in style. Quite a weird album perhaps, but the songs are short and I find them easy to digest. I like those jazzy rhythms as well. After the Main Theme (opening track side two) it gets less interesting imo.

So I'll vote for More's last 5 songs + Point Me at the Sky + all pre-A Saucerful Of Secrets songs.
 
I prefer the vocal performance of The Nile Song to Ibiza Bar. It's heavier, but that won't make me pick it over Ibiza Bar. I don't find that many differences in the drumming between the two. Ibiza Bar comes later, but they're very similar songs and I find Ibiza Bar more interesting - more variation and I also prefer Gilmour's solos on it (there's more of it too). As for the length, just seven seconds (although the fadeout starts earlier in Ibiza Bar).
 
I hear them. Nothing so impressive it would make me consider picking The Nile Song over Ibiza Bar.
