Side One, like Tarkus the 20 minute song carries the album IMO

I like all of it. "Seamus" and "San Tropez" don't really fit in with the rest of the album but even those two good standalone tracks.

To comment on the choices made in this thread during 2013:-

woozoom, Cheese and galt54 ; agree 100% with your tracks (fat old sun, one of these days, turning away)
Ki ; don´t know Dogs well enough to comment.
Bongo Fury ; you chose 2 tracks ( Paintbox, Summer 68)that I always avoid playing if at all possible!

Taxman and mikpop93; hard to argue with See Emily and Comfortably Numb., but let´s not forget:-

Obscured By Clouds with it´s great, sinister beginning.
Atom Heart Mother which has been around so long that I put it on, forget about it, but then the different sections remind me that it has some of Floyd´s most interesting instrumental interludes.

With Meddle, on the other hand, I put it on and forget about it, period.(Sorry, Frownland, Paul and J.)

Well that's kinda what I meant when I said the weak side of Meddle is better than the weak side of Tarkus. IMO the one-song side carries the album and quite frankly, were the album released with the other side blank (talking vinyl here) The album would be just as good. The difference it that the other side of Tarkus is utter crap. The weak side of Meddle is just ok IMO

Agreed, Paul. I don't listen to elp but I get the analogy. My fave Floyd song is still echoes, at this point I don't even consider it a subjective topic, tbh.

The acoustic work on Music From The Soundtrack of the film 'More'.

Dogs, Sheep, Echoes, Time, Free Four are the ones that spring to my mind
