[Rick and Roll]

EP - Tongue in cheek? A weird way of showing it.

Jim - I still agree with your Echoes assessment, in part. I do think however, 15 minutes is OK. It's really just the Chinese water-torture piano at the beginning and the middle that's annoying. Hell, the guitar lead is almost 5 itself!

Two questions - 1) what's the difference between "one of my favorites" and "one of their best"? Whose standards determine their best? If its one of your favorites, that's cool, you don't need to qualify it. No need to "troll". It's just that you throw yourself open to criticism when you're critical of others' favorites.

2) If Atom Heart Mother is a bit disjointed, doesn't that inherently mean it's really a bunch of songs thrown together under the disguise of one long tune? Maybe that's one that could be cut down a little.

PTF - Are there any Floyd tunes you don't like? If so, what would they be? I'm curious.

How come no one mentioned Several Species of Small etc etc etc as a favorite? Between that and Grenchester Meadows you've got one of the weirdest and the quietest songs on one record. Maybe Keith came close with his early-Floyd selections. Actually GG's "An Inmates Lullaby" is both weird AND quiet.
