WooHoo! I get to vote now. But, it doesn't even matter, because...
Echoes or Dogs, I can't decide.

I've always like Echos a lot. I feel like Shine On is good, but I've never liked it as much as other people do.

"Echoes" is really just a nice typical 5-minute PF song that bookends an unrelated spacy jam and good climax.
"Atom Heart Mother" is a smorgasbord of underdeveloped ideas, some of which are interesting, but the piece as a whole doesn't stick together.
"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" coheres a little better, though the best part is IMO easily the first 5 minutes, and that's a risky way to structure an epic. But it does pretty much sum up what Pink Floyd were all about.
"Dogs" is probably my favorite. The main chord sequence is interesting and distinctive, and there is a constantness to the feel of it.

I voted "can't decide" though out of all these compositions, I do find myself strangely attracted to Atom Heart Mother, it has a sort of magic to it, even in the name itself (and cover).
Plus I do dig those choral voices..
BTW, when I do listen to Atom Heart Mother these days, it's mostly from the Peel Session, performed live, which is fantastic!

The first two struggle to fill their side-long lengths, and contain filler. Shine On and Dogs are equally brilliant, to me.

Echoes by far !! Gives me chills down the spine every time I listen to it and has influenced me a lot, musically and lyrically speaking.

I think they all might be equally good, but Shine on will always be special to me.

Something like this. An impossible choice really. It is entirely not like: What would you have for dinner: python, boa, viper, cobra or sea serpent?
