Echoes..choes..choes..choes..hoes..hoes..hoes..oes..oes..oes..s..s..s......
WYWH in general is not really in my fave Floyd list. Shine is good though.

Shine On is just dripping with emotion all of the way through. The sense of loss, mourning, and emptiness is fantastic. I think the first half is nearly perfect, and while the second half isn't nearly as good as the first, the final section is one of the best sections of music they ever made. The two parts combined are far better than Echoes in just about every way.

Of course it couldn't. The whole concept is about being underwater and that section is pivotal and, even though I generally don't like sound effects, that one works.

For the underground part..
Not just works...its out-worldly great.

SOYCD! A more modern sound that enables it to be an evergreen.

Echoes very easily.

Never really felt SOYCD was that good, but Echoes is Floyd's masterwork.

Both equally. Different moods for both, and both amazing.
