Echoes is not just a trippy jam, it is very innovative. The sound Gilmour gets in the middle of the piece is so unique and eery. It builds perfectly. Totally musical. The piece is brilliant.
TAAB is Tull's most musical epic, and Anderson's humour elevates it even further. And it also flows wonderfully, and ends perfectly.
Darn...too difficult |
Pink Floyd had been playing with those screeching guitars and eerie section for a while before they put it into Echoes. It was particularly played live withing the live version of Embryo. |
True. I was really amazed when hearing live version of Embryo from 1970.

I don't really see it as fair since TAAB is an entire album so I voted for "echoes."

Thick as a Brick for me

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

^  It wasn´t originally my idea. Or it was, but originally wasn´t going to make a poll into it. I am glad Thick is winning at the moment, really love it much more than Echoes, although it´s of course great too.
Well, I think we´ll give Meddle for person who will make most of this Echoes polls...

I base my judgment on the number of listens. And uf you give me the choice about which one to listen to now,it would always be Echoes. It doesn’t mean that TAAB is bad, even if I prefer Aqualung

Echoes is simply a long, trippy jam with an extended instrumental passage -- great for what it is, but it does not rate against a complete and cohesive composition like Thick as a Brick with clever lyrics, separate movements and diverse instrumentation. |
And that's my humble opinion too.
