Tarkus for me.

To be fair, the only PF album I can stand to spin is Animals. PF just doesn't "do it" for me.

Not even Wish you Were Here?!
Also the first versions of Dogs and Sheep were created along with the songs of WYWH.

An interesting matchup would be side one of Meddle vs side two of Tarkus.

Echoes is one of my all time favourites. I love Tarkus but it's not quite up there.

I ticked the both equally box. Could listen to either and enjoy. It certainly was more interesting back then.

Echoes for me. I love Tarkus too, but I can't stand the middle "mass" section.
