Well which epic track is your favourite? I was going to call this poll side-long epics but SOYCD which clocks in at 26 minutes and tops and tails the WYWH album (it probably wouldn't have quite fitted onto a side of vinyl). ------------- "Christ, where would rock & roll be without feedback?" - D.

I love all of them, but while all can be favoured, can all of them be your favourite? I also will go "Echoes", although I would have gone with "Atom Heart Mother" at another time, and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" at another earlier time. ------------- 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, just over the other two, but all are 5 star tracks. ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Echoes stands out above the others by a fair margin in my music world. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

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 |

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 |

Echoes is one of my all time favourite tracks. Like the others too, but not quite up there. ------------- I make typos so you see I'm not a machine, but I may be a machine pretending to not be a machine. |

A very close call for me but Echoes just edges it over SOYCD. Whereas AHM is pretty much garbage IMO. ------------- "Christ, where would rock & roll be without feedback?" - D. Gimour |

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.

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!
