Both are quite good, and have their own merits. I like AHM for my personal reasons, but Echoes is a fantastic piece,

Echoes by far. I always considered Atom Heart Mother to be a disorganized mess, and not in a good way like second disc of Ummagumma.

So a post in support of a vote for Atom Heart Mother. It can't be talked down any lower for me from my third favourite Pink Floyd album. All time favourite album it makes me think when I listen to it, however!

Those lyrics sound like an early attempt to speak Kobaïan after two coffee Tongue.

1971. Michel Polnareff was probebly inspired by AHM.

I'm not a  Pink Floyd fan ( nor of psychedelic space-prog ),  I really have some restrictions in relation to majority of his albums. However, Pink Floyd has at least 3 albums which I consider great: "Meddle", "Dark Side..." and "Wish you are here". These are ( in my opinion ) 5 stars albums ! 
 
"Atom Heart Mother" never captivated my taste !

You just won the thread LOL
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

Atom Heart Mother for me. It is still one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs to date. Fun fact: it was also the first CD I ever brought

Both are wonderful, of course, and I regard them just about as highly. However, Echoes is the beginning of Floyd's classic sound, so that gives it the edge.

There are some great bits on AHM, but Echoes is the best thing Floyd ever did.

"Echoes" is great. "Atom Heart Mother" is the greatest.
