Atom Heart Mother it just is not Pink Floyds best.

I used to dislike Atom Heart Mother, but listening to the performances they did of that track in particular, without the orchestra, made me more keen on it.

It's a same here Atom Heart Mother, I tried to listen many a time but I just stop and change to some other. I don't have any reason behind it but I just don't like it.

I like If and most of the other songs but I just don't like AHM. Its just to weird and boring.

The only weird song on the album to me is Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast. That seemed like a joke at first, like they needed to throw something on at the end and had no time to come up with something original, so they went with that.

Outside of Fat Old Sun and Summer '68 to a lesser degree I never found this record very appealing. I've changed my mind over the years with the abundance of bootlegs that are available. Sometimes the live versions just add so much raw energy that I end up really liking them. This is the case with AHM...

There nothing like '70-'72 live Pink Floyd. The energy and emotion is unreal. There's a lot of experimentation and improv. The more I listened to many of the old live versions that are available, the more I appreciated the record. ATM (the song) is incredible live. There's also some great early video on youtube.

odd because I thought Fat Old Sun, Summer '68 and If made the album but that is just me.

ummagumma or atom heart mother, havnt actually listned to the final cut yet but alot of ppl say its a great album why all the negativity, im gonna buy it in the next few days i think

The Final Cut is one of my favourites. I understand why people hate it since there's not exactly much musically going on, but I just love it anyhow. :3

Anyways, The Division Bell still does zilch for me. I've somewhat warmed to A Momentary Lapse of Reason, because, apart from the shocking production, a lot of the songs are fun and catchy in their own chessy way.

I love Atom Heart Mother! It's easily in my top 5 of Floyd albums.

I'm not a big fan of the post Waters albums and I've never gotten into the movie soundtracks, More and OBC. So, someone of those would probably be at the bottom of my list...
