    Does what it's supposed to...

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 2, 2004 | 2 out of 2 found this Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd review helpful

    Pros: A whole boatload of Pink Floyd!

    Cons: Pink Floyd is an "album band"

    Pink Floyd are the definitive album band. Each song flows so well into the next that when you put on an album, its like a 45 minutes song and not 7 short ones. This is a good album if you've never listened to Pink Floyd, or have only heard Dark... Side of the Moon and want to see what they're about (although I would also like to recommend Wish You Were Here as a GREAT album also - even though most of it is on this one). Good if you're just getting into Floyd, not so good if you've been a fan for a long time.Sparky...OUT! Read more Less

    I agree some people just like to complain and need to pull their heads out of their asses. However I'm only rating this 2-disc album 3 stars because I'm tired of "greatest hits" albums never containing their greatest hits, I'll be honest I haven't he...ard "most" of Pink Floyd's music but where is Young Lust? Welcome to the Machine? and In the Flesh? or Breathe? this is one of the worst greatest hits albums ever whoever put it together was still trying to make money off their older albums, and the song Bike absolutely sux it's goofy and stupid it should have been left off for an actual hit Read more Less

    A great way to start

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 14, 2003

    Yes, the album is missing many of the best floyd songs, but overall i think its a great starting point for any casual fan. This is what made me like pink floyd, and now i own every pink floyd album! So, if you like what you hear on this, keep in mind... the albums will be well worth the money! Read more Less

    Missing some truly classic Floyd

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 19, 2003

    I had been a Pink Floyd fan before I picked up Echoes. I was practically raised on The Wall because of my parents. I had a few albums and I thought I might like to hear some more of their music before running out and buying another Floyd album. Echoe...s is the best compliation out there for Pink Floyd, but that doesnt make it worth the price of admission. Though I am glad to see such classic Floyd as Set the Controls For The Heart of the Sun and Arnold Layne, I was dissapointed to find a few tracks missing. There is also to much emphasis on Dark Side of the Moon and post-Roger Waters Floyd. Such tracks as Great Gig in the Sky and Sorrow should have been left off to include such missing Floyd classics as Have A Cigar, Run Like Hell, Intersteller Overdrive, Careful With That Axe Eugene, and Dogs. Another problem I have with this album is the editing. Why chop off the last two parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond? Without them, it just doesnt sound right. Same goes for Echoes and Marooned. Also the way disc two ends is ridiculous. It would have been perfect to end the album with a song like High Hopes, but they went and put the silly Bike at the end. This album contains some great material, but its a lost opportunity to capture the spirit of Pink Floyd. Buy it only if you dont plan on buying anymore Floyd. Read more Less

    Buy the albums instead, but still awesom

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 26, 2002

    Ok, Pink Floyd is a concept-album band and they made the best albums of the music history and there are many songs missing in this best of, but is it possible that an album with Time, High Hopes, Confortably Numb, Shine On or Sorrow can get less than... 5 stars? I don´t think so... However, if you like PF buy the albums instead, starting from Dark Side and Division Bell.If you are look for a real Pink Floyd best of, check out the Shine On Boxed Set! There's a lot going out there! Read more Less

    Not a great selection

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 17, 2002

    To improve this compilation, they should have taken out 'Fletcher Memorial Home', 'Jugband Blues','Happiest Days of Our Lives', 'Keep Talking', 'The Great Gig in the Sky', 'When the Tigers Broke Free', Part 6,7 from 'Crazy Diamond', and 'High Hopes'....Instead of these songs, there should be 'Brain Damage/Eclipse', 'Intersteller Overdrive', 'What Do You Want From Me', 'Saucerfull of Secrets'(from Ummagumma), 'Fat Old Sun'(from Atom Heart Mother), and 'Wats Uh...the Deal'(from Obsured by Clouds) I would have givin it a 5 star rating if these songs were on it instead!!!!!!

    Great Collection

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 14, 2002

    I really like the songs they chose for this album, they did a great job of re-Mixing the songs to seem like their and endless song... but the ONLY thing i didn't like is that they cut Morooned short... besides that IT ROCKS!
