Uh Oh Jim, it Looks like someone just requested Echoes! (10:23am CST - Tuesday).
Anyhoo, here's my two cents:

I also don't get the general dislike of Momentary Lapse

I'm with you Jim. It's not my favorite, but if you take out "The Dogs of War," it's a solid album. However, I've got to go with "On the Turning Away" and "Sorrow" for my picks off that one.

Echoes, hah? I feel like Yesspaz awhile back on the Genesis thread, when he didn't get the adoration of Supper's Ready - that's how I feel about Echoes.

Attaboy Jim! While I completely disagree with you, props for posting your contempt. While it's listenable, I still say "Supper's Not Ready." When I posted that, I was afraid I'd get mail-bombed!

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?

You mean like any epic by Rush?
(The Fountain of Lamneth, 2112).
Ha! I like AHM, but they could have chopped it off before the last six minutes.

I've never really cared for New Machine

I think they're ok if taken as part of Terminal Frost, making Terminal Frost and 8 minute song, then it fits thematically.
