Atom Heart Mother (suite)

"Atom Heart Mother" is a six-part suite by prog rock band Pink Floyd, composed by the whole band (Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason) and Ron Geesin. It appeared on their Atom Heart Mother album in 1970, taking up a whole side of the record. It is Pink Floyd's longest un-split epic, clocking in at 23 minutes and 41 seconds, beating "Echoes" by about 10 seconds. It is also the only Pink Floyd song over 18 minutes long without lyrics. Though very few consider the "suite" their favorite song, it is a hardcore-fan favorite. It is rumored to have been played in one take, with a very unsteady tempo. The only main argument about the song is about how long each part is.
