So which of the Floydian epic tracks do we rate the most/least?

For the purposes of this poll I have limited it to works that clock in at 10+ minutes.  Interstellar Overdrive (9:39 on Piper) is included because the original (IMO superior) recording was 16:41.

Discuss.

1 Echoes (the best thing they've ever done and one of the best anyone's ever done)
2 Sheep
3 AHM
4 Dogs
5 Pigs

Crazy Diamond lost its charm for me a long time ago and I've never been a fan of their early stuff.

I'm surprised Echoes is winning but then it's only  matter of time before all the Animal and WYWH fans hit the votes.

Atom Heart Mother slightly over Echoes.....but had the Embryo been included I'd probably have voted for it.

Shine on has many less votes than I expected, since WYWH is often the favourite. And also no Animals?
New album! "A Moment of Thought"

Sadly the only version that was (officially) released - on the Harvest sampler 'Picnic a Breath of Fresh Air' - was deemed by the band to be unfinished, and clocks in at 4:41.

Yep, I had to go for Echoes too, though WYWH is a close second in my book.
