Echoes for me, though both are masterpieces.

Although Floyd is bigger for me than Genesis, it´s Suppers. If it had been Atom Heart Mother...I love of course Echoes too.

My brain say "Supper's Ready" and my heart say "Echoes". I decide to vote from my heart today. Perhaps I change my opinion ... But not today...

Supper's Ready wins this one by quite a margin.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Supper's Ready is technically a more important (better?) song, but I had to vote Echoes as I prefer it to Supper's Ready 90% of the time.

It's really close, impossible to pick almost. Echoes is more cohesive and consistent. Supper's Ready is brilliant but the parts aren't so well connected. Some sections are fantastic but one or two bits are just very good.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

Love them both, but I went with Supper's Ready, largely because there are Pink Floyd epics that I love even more than Echoes.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Another vote for Suppers Ready.
I love Echoes, but Suppers Ready is simply in a different league.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The rooks squawking...what's all that about. Deduct points for pointless noises so suppers ready by a country mile because it doesn't have pointless filler.

^This......Echoes has a lot of filler.....that's what makes it less interesting....though it was fun in 1971/72 when I was young, in college ,and altering my state of consciousness.

No, Echoes is one composition with a long instrumental in the middle. Supper's Ready has separate songs by separate band members fused together with segues.

A while ago, comparing Pink Floyd and Genesis, I said that the best of Pink Floyd is better than the best of Genesis, but that Genesis is more uniformly great than Pink Floyd. Well, this poll is between the best of Pink Floyd and the best of Genesis, so in keeping to what I had said earlier, my vote goes to Echoes.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
