Mine's got to be Echoes. It's so elusive...mysterious and just downright amazing. Some of these songs aren't "epic" per se, but are still long enough and structured enough to be considered epics of a sort so I included them. Anyways, have a pick!  ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

I picked the Wall, though I like Shine On as well. I am ashamed to say I haven't heard Echoes. -------------

I love Atom Heart Mother so much! What about Sheep??? ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can |

| If you include The Wall (album) I believe you should include Animals as a whole epic work.So I voted other. |

| It's a tough call. Unfortunately, I still have not heard Atom Heart Mother; it is on my large list of albums to get though. I am leaning towards "Shine on You Crazy Diamond." |

| To me, it's Shine on first, but Echoes, the wall, AHM and all the animals songs are very close |

You actually have heard a part of Echoes- in Is There Anybody Out There, it has a bit of the echoes from Echoes playing low under the main music. I think it's after the second 'Is there anybody out there' ------------- http://imageshack.us">

God damn! Echoes or Shine on you Crazy Diamond! It really
depends on what sort of mood I am in. Soooo hard to
decided. However... I settled with Echoes... for now... >_> |

echoes, echoes, echoes...this is a brilliant song and defiantely the best "epic" by pink floyd in my opinion...but i feel compelled to name my runners up...: 2. Shine on you crazy diamond 3. Pigs (Three Different Ones) 4. Atom Heart Mother (this is an amazing song almost the whole way through but it gets a little drab near the end...but usually the climax more than makes up for it) 5. Dogs 6 DSOTM ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

A Saucerful of Secrets from Ummagumma is my favorite, that song alone is worth purchasing the album. I am breathless at the end of the live album because of that song. ------------- We got to pump the stuff to make us tough from the heart Its astart What we need is awareness we cant get careless Mental self defensive fitness Make everybody see in order to fight the powers that be |
