Dark side and Wish you were Here were always my main albums growing up but in my older years I listen to Echoes (Live at Pompeii) almost daily. It’s my daily zen song.
Absolutely all great albums, I also had kind of an Echoes period. A Saucerful of Secrets with Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun is amazing too.
But Dark Side of the Moon somehow contains the essence of everything else Pink Floyd had made at the time, and somehow packs it more perfectly.
Not that I was aware of that when I first heard Dark Side of the Moon, but looking back, that album is their peak achievement.
And after Wish You Were here it changed and became something different, it is still good, but it doesn’t have quite the same magic.
Obviously all subjective, you can put in IMO basically at the end of every line. 😋
I’m stupid, I always mistake Meddle for being named Echoes, I think it’s because the Echoes number is the entire side 2, and because the ear with the rings in the water seems to me to illustrate echoes. So to me the proper name of the album should be “Echoes”. 😋
But yes Fearless is a great number too, Climb your hills your own way. My guess is this is somewhat inspired by Syd Baretts situation at the time. There is this sadness mixed with hope. This was also a major part of The Dark Side of the Moon.

That’s how I am with fearless. Love that song. Live at Pompeii was awesome though.

I’m with you all the way. Even the cover looks like it should be called echoes
