I like both very much, but I adore Atom Heart Mother (especially for the suite). It's my favourite Floyd album and I like Pink Floyd much more generally than Yes. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Like them both too, so it's difficult to make a choice. I guess PF's Atom Heart Mother has some more musical originality in it but on some days I prefer to listen to Time and a Word. With the pistol on my head I think I would choose AHM... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Atom Heart Mother. Yes was still on their way to maturity.

| Just for the record I was almost going to do it as time and a word and going for the one vs atom heart mother and animals. I suppose PF would still win with that though. |

Atom Heart Mother for me. They're both good albums. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

Overall, I prefer Time and a Word, but the Atom Heart Mother suite is easily the best piece on both albums. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Despite being a massive and obvious YES fan boi, I give this one to PF. Yes didn't become the kings until Fragile IMHO! ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

Well considering that AHM is my favourite Floyd album, I'd have to say that one, even over Yes. ------------- Levitating downwards, atomic feedback scream. |

| Both for me. I'm a huge Yes fan but AHM is maybe my second favorite PF album(after WYWH)so it kind of balances out. |

AHM is very original and I like it, although it has some bits on the B side that don't appeal to me. But I generally prefer Floyd, and the really good Yes stuff comes later, so clear vote for AHM despite this being in some distance from being my favourite Floyd. |

Yes....due to Astral Traveler........,AHM is disjointed and inconsistent and while I liked it when smoking weed in college....I'm a grown-up now. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| It's true that AHM is inconsistent but there's nothing to dislike, whereas Time and a Word has the highs of the last two songs and half an hour of sludge before you get to those last two songs. |

Atom.  Adore it. Though I don't listen it that often; the ones I play most are 'Alan's psychedelic breakfast' suite, "Summer '68" and, from time to time, a round of 'If' at the guitar or from the album -also like the other tracks-. Although a Yes fan, including the Debut and Drama, for some reason TAAW is still a bit non-existent for me (each time, I care to take a listen though). |
