Good to see 'A pillow of winds' getting a mention (Dean) It's the best song on Meddle in my opinion, and among my favorite Floyd songs. One of these Days is ok, Echoes is pretty good, but the rest is fairly dull, compared to Foxtrot.

+1.
'One of These Days', 'A Pillow of Winds' ... basically, tracks 1, 2, 3, and 6; they just beat the freak out of Foxtrot in my head.
BTW: no more 666 in the number of my post, huh?

Meddle has 2 tracks that are complete throwaways.
While each of the songs on Foxtrots are in my Top 15 or so.

I don't think so :D
Horizons is a great song if that's what you're implying.

^ Pretty much. Can't think of anything greater than that on the album.

Horizons is a classic, still Hackett plays it on every concert, because it works perfectly as a relief between two strong tracks.
In Foxtrot is a perfect interlude between the frenetic "Can Utility" and the epic "Supper's Ready", it maintains the balance of the album.

Foxtrot! For me it beats any album Pink Floyd ever did.

Indeed. I even look at it like a prelude of sorts to Supper's Ready, a piece of it really.
My favorite guitar interlude i can think of - much better than anything Howe played. Thus my username.

Foxtrot by miles.
Meddle is a very fine album.
Foxtrot is the definition of prog.
|

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

^ Well, looks like I'm gonna have to play Foxtrot on my laptop when I go to sleep. I found that music works better for me that way. ...  ... I could start a thread on this kind of thing  ... unless there is one already.
