Is that meant to be shocking?

For once, I agree. Took 10 months, but I'm patient.

I think that "Echoes" is one of their masterpieces and is probably one
of my top 10 songs (top 15?). Instead of getting into Raja Lists
(tm), I like "One Of These Days" as well. The rest of the album is
not too much my cuppa tea.

LOL, funny you should mention that, I'm listening to Rocky Horror at the
moment. :-)

But yes, Meddle is the better of the two - I can stomach "Echoes" infinitely
better than a half hour of "SHIIIIINE OOOON YOU CRAAAAAAZY DIAMOND!"

Pillow of Winds and Fearless are worthwhile, San Tropez and Seamus not
so much. Along with One of these Days and Echoes, Meddle is one of
their better albums, it was also my first exposure to the band.

Heh!

To me, "Echoes" is a great composition with some free form stuff which
actually is not filler. The amount of work they probably put into
"Atom Heart Mother" as a composition seemed to shine in "Echoes". It
isn't even considered such a composition.

A while back, I even started a midi file on an old Korg SQD-1 with
mini-disks of the song. hehehehehehe... Step entry, from the sheet
music.

WYWH was much more polished, but was a different time period. I
believe about the time Meddle came out, a different recipe was in the
works and it was DSOTM. Kind of ran out of psych steam, so to speak.

Agreed. The 2 you mentioned are in the plus category. Sometimes it
seems some bands try to be to "chic" or whathaveyou like with "San
Tropez". May be a tongue in cheek thing for them, but we don't
know...
