If Echoes is too long for you, you may prefer the abridged 10-minute version from Pompeii. |

What would you cut out? Hopefully not the Shepard tone. |

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.

That's the complete version actually, only in 2 parts. I think it simply goes on, like many Floyd tracks, far too long. I would like it more if the ideas were more compressed, maybe so about 12 or 15 min at all. Would be still a long track. Sometimes shorter is better. Shine on benefits from being released in 2 parts. My vote goes actually for part 1, which does not really need the 2nd part to work, and is perfect as it is. The 2nd part is in itself also good, but not as great as the first part. But of course, I know they belong together. The first part of Echoes, like in the Pompeii vid, feels on the other hand incomplete. I prefer the live versions of Embryo to Echoes, even if that could be shortened too by 1 - 3 min. It is incredible that they never put Embryo on an album, especially as Atom Heart Mother and Meddle have some poor tracks on them. The 2nd BBC live version of Fat Old Sun is (despite being overlong too) so much better than the studio version. They could heave made a great album in 1970/71, instead of 2 flawed ones.

I prefer the full 25-minute-long version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. |

The Shepard tone is that perpetually rising tone that ends the track. |

I Prophesy Disaster and I both predicted that Echoes would win the poll, so I'm glad it's managed to retrain its lead just ahead of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

I'm more surprised that Atom Heart Mother is in the top five. Echoes is great but if feels like a completely different band made it. Floyd is one band that you could split their discography (up to 72 and then after) but probably best not to re-open that particular can of worms!

^Me too! Over year ago I was in very small minority, when thinking Atom Heart is their best album. But, naturally I am glad it now has love! I am really glad also there´s three of my fav Floyd songs!

The track to end all tracks is Comfortably Numb Echoes Welcome to the Machine Sheep Money although Dark Side is like one long song |
