sh*t, probably, really, the 2 best Floyd albums.  Voted AHM because Meddle is far more likely to win

I love both suites (AHM and Echoes).  I like the shorter songs on AHM better but only like the last section of Alan's Psych. Breakfast.  One of these Days is stellar.  Both are imperfect albums but Echoes is just too impressive to vote against.

Meddle by a nose.

75% of voters for AHM have posted here, can the Meddle fans claim to have that level of dedication? LOL

OK, it's really difficult, right now I feel like voting for Meddle. Echoes lyrics are really wonderful, as is all the song. And I also love One of this Days. But ofcourse the Atom Heart Mother suite is incredible too.

Meddle is murdering Mother.  Surprising, given all the comments supporting Atom Heart Mother.  My vote is for Meddle.

Oooooh. Atom Heart is great despite the band hating it. Nope, must be Meddle for me.

Meddle, #3 on my list of PF albums. But the title track of AHM is equally good.

A great similarity between these two.  Each features a magnificent long piece and several shall we say, weaker tracks.
 
However, I prefer Echoes over the AHM Suite, and Meddle also has One Of These Days so I voted Meddle.

This is a really tough round. Both albums have really strong songs (both epics), and also really weak songs (Alan and Seamus, respectively, imo). In the end, I voted for Atom Heart Mother, because I prefer the title suite over Echoes, as great as Echoes is.
