Atom Heart Mother-Favorite song.

Love this record....will go with title track as I never tire of sitting through all 23 minutes of it.

 

Had to go with Fat Old Sun even though the version I like is really from the BBC tapes. Golly, I'd like to see those released.

 

In this order:
Atom Heart Mother
Summer '68
If
Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast
Fat Old Sun

 

Only one vote for If ?!

 

Gotta go with the title track, though I prefer most live versions to the studio version.

 

The title suite is sweet.

 

Atom Heart Mother

 

Alan's psydelic breakfast for me

 

I prefer the KINKS

 

I love the title track.

 

Atom Heart Mother. Always loved hearing a motorcycle drive through my living room.

 

Summer '68

 

I like "If" second only to APB.Funny how it is different strokes for different folks because Fat Old Sun does nothing for me.

 

APB
The dawn of ambient music

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Agreed.

 

Not their best album. Fat old sun is ok, but in my view doesn't rate with any of the songs in Meddle.

 

I missed the chance to vote in the poll, but I would have voted for the title track. After hearing the album on vinyl a few times recently, I am beginning to think it is also my favorite Pink Floyd song.

 

I think it rates right alongside Meddle.

 

This version is magnificent and my favorite 15 minutes of PF. I don't think the album version comes close.

 

my two favorite tracks is the title track and alans breakfast.

 

Oy, another one of those "which is your favorite child" threads.

OK, to me the title track is overbloated and unfocused. But without it there wouldn't have been an Echoes.
Summer 68 is lovely, but not much more than a riff and a chorus. I much prefer Stay from OBC.
Fat Old Sun cops Kinks and Doors motifs yet redeems itself when Dave starts to wail on the strat (+1 on the awesomeness of those live versions).
Roger's If is the only song on the album that really means anything, and in a way foreshadows all that the Floyd would later be.
So If gets my vote.

 

Another vote for IF
A great album.

 

"Summer of 68" gets my vote. One of Rick's finest contributions. If I'm in an indulgent mood, I can appreciate the title track, but I tend to prefer it in its live incarnations. "Fat Old Sun" is pleasant but not particularly memorable. I enjoy "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" up to a point, but it overstays its welcome and would have benefited from some editing. "If" is a big bore to me. I wish that they had included "Embryo" on this album instead.

 

Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, the best song they ever did.
