 Topic: "Echoes Vs "SOYCD"
Posted: September 21 2014 at 21:17 |
Just finished listening to Meddle and WYWH in entirety back to back. As always after finishing m thinking-which one is better.
During this particular listen i enjoyed 'SOYCD' a lot..maybe coz i played it today almost after an year..
For 'Echoes' i hav always felt it to be essential Pink Floyd and essential space rock..and i still play it at least once a week. Echoes

Of course I love both, but in the end I like Shine On slightly better... it might actually be my very favourite song of all time... specially if I consider all 9 parts as a single song.

Shine is that one song that goes completely over my head. I haven't understood the incredible praise it's received.

I like them both, both are very different so it is hard to judge one over the other.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I said Echoes was my favorite in the last PF poll and I will say it again. Shine On, though, what a great song that is too.

Echoes is a desert island epic-pic. I think i can understand why others like Shine, but I don't..

Shine On has great childhood memories for me, whereas I didn't hear Echoes until the 1980s.

The first 4 or 5 minutes of Shine On are pure bliss.

Both equally. Different moods for both, and both amazing.

Both, of course. But if forced to choose SOYCD...

I think the middle section of Echoes is pretty unnecessary. The parts around it are great, but it could easily be 5 minutes shorter.
Shine On is just dripping with emotion all of the way through. The sense of loss, mourning, and emptiness is fantastic. I think the first half is nearly perfect, and while the second half isn't nearly as good as the first, the final section is one of the best sections of music they ever made. The two parts combined are far better than Echoes in just about every way.

Both equally. It's the two best songs of PF.
