I also love AHM......Have the QUAD vinyl pressing. It's killer.

Hope they decide to put that out in the SACD format.

My least fav track is APB also. It's ok but it's definately the weakest song on the album. I wouldn't miss it if it weren't on the album.

Best Floyed era IMHO 1969-1973

I used to like it, but I don't ever listen to it now. When I first got it, I thought, "man, this is what I have been looking for (in reference to the title track)." Now I find it a bit over the top and not very floydish. Oh well, whatever.

ps: How many posts do I need to not be an "axe" anymore? 100?

Actually, the band likes it a lot.
Roger&David hate it from all of their heart. (that title track)

I love rest of the songs in AHM.

They do hate atom heart mother (the song), they think it should have never been done.

I agree with that & also the live performances of 1977 were great.

They speak of it with respect as their first success.

Thats interesting, cause in the book "Saucerful of Secrets, The Pink Floyd Oddessy" (considered by many to be the best book written on PF) it clearly quotes most the band saying that it was mostly hogwash and a huge disapointment. But its been a while since I read it. Can anyone confirm this?
