Personally I like this one more than Echoes because damn this song has so many moods, Echoes was important because it was the first seed for what would eventually become the humanitarian themes on DSOTM, but Atom Heart Mother is the epitome of the whole experimental era ('68 - '70), an explosive suite of six parts where all the members shine, Waters' bass lines and Nick Mason's drums, despite having a shaky tempo due to it being recorded in one take are still a solid foundation for this song, Gilmour three moments in Breast Milky and his reprise and in Funky Dung, and Richard on the Avant Garde noise segments, easily my favourite of the long Pink Floyd songs

Dogs is amazing and kind of objectively better, but if it wasn't for AHM I doubt that they'd dare to make something so long that isn't just a long jam

I remember when I discovered Pink Floyd at age 14. I was immediately stunned by DSOTM. I became obsessed with the band and listened to all of their albums. That was the first time I understood that music (and more specifically, albums) was a medium of expression that surpassed single-song enjoyment. Now, ten years later and with a profound love of music, I find myself coming back to songs like this one and feeling more amazed by its greatness. The choral voices, the dark atmosphere, the buildups, and climaxes are just perfection. Progressive rock at its finest!

lazy copy-paste from wiki: Gilmour has said the album was "a load of rubbish. We were at a real down point ... I think we were scraping the barrel a bit at that period"[4] and "a good idea but it was dreadful... Atom Heart Mother sounds like we didn't have any idea between us, but we became much more prolific after it."[59] Similarly, in a 1984 interview on BBC Radio 1, Waters said "If somebody said to me now – right – here's a million pounds, go out and play Atom Heart Mother, I'd say you must be fucking joking." Gilmour played it on 08 with Ron Geesin though. Waters prolly still hates it. Nick Mason played it yesterday with his Saucerful of Secrets though, was pretty awesome to witness!

One of my favorite songs of all time. Every second of its 23 minutes is absolutely transcendental.
