...and is probably my favorite Pink Floyd album. It would be easy to shoot for something more obscure (and Obscured by Clouds is also right up there) or to go the opposite direction and point to one of their huge, definitive hits like Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, or The Wall, but nothing can really touch this one for me. The last four songs on the first side are about the most pitch-perfect run of laid-back, blissed-out jamming that I'm personally acquainted with, and if the darker, trippier Floyd is yr thing, well, you've got "One of These Days I'm Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces" and the entirety of Side Two in "Echoes". I once heard Low cover "Fearless" in an intimate in-store performance at the legendary (and now sadly departed) Let It Be records, and it really made me appreciate the fragile beauty of the song, but even a cover as delicate and reverent as theirs can never replicate the stunning dissolve into distant soccer chants that works so surreally well here.

You guys like this one?
