Hi,

ATM deserves more love. It is magnificent, and if you don't believe me, go listen to the classical version done by Ron Geesin on the net. It is unreally good, and makes great sense of classical music, instead of some quasi-hip stuff done by some folks that ended up trashing the whole piece, unfairly so ... they got too rich to admit they were kids at one time, and did some far out things.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I find such negativity, and "trash" talk, from a topic starter disheartening. Disliking it is fine. If AHM is pretty garbage in your opinion, then one might infer that in your opinion (of course it's your opinion) the people who voted for it and mentioned liking it in your topic have pretty much a taste for garbage. I thought it was horrible when Waters and/or Gilmour would make such claims and I thought it very disrespectful of Ron Geesin, who I think, did a fantastic job with the material (and I love Aldiss involvement). It's one of the first things I heard from Pink Floyd and have loved it since I was a child, and as someone long into choral type vocals, "Breast Milky" is beautiful. I love the whole thing.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Echoes is one of my all time favourite tracks. Like the others too, but not quite up there.

Simply and beautifully expressed; it's the same for me.

As a PF addict I wouldn't give up to any of the listed tracks, but Echoes is their best, IMO.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

That's my case as well, but I figured AHM would need help, so I voted for it (I was the first vote) and it turned out I was right.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Echoes stands out above the others by a fair margin in my music world.

All great tracks. Shine On is my fave of these.
