ECHOES - THE BEST OF PINK FLOYD

1. NO material from Atom Heart Mother(if this was the ONLY album they had included, I would still go nuts, because it's floyds finest work), More, Obscured By Clouds, AND Ummagumma!!!! I consider those first 3 to be their finest works, though I have not heard Ummagumma yet. Atom Heart Mother Suite, Summer '68, The Nile Song, Green is the color, Careful With That Axe Eugene(I've heard the live at pompeii version), The Gold It's In The.. and Free Four are practical ESSENTIALS of Floyd! 2. Edited songs. I mean, WTF? SOYCD 1-7??? Why 1-7? 8 and 9 are awesome parts of the song! Echoes is a masterpiece to be enjoyed in it's full, not in 10 minutes! And Marooned is only 5 minutes long in the first place! 3. Why Sheep, When The Tigers Broke Free and The Fletcher Memorial Home? If they felt like including stuff from The Wall movie, they should have gone with 'What Shall we Do Now"

They could have done a looooot better with this album.
