‘Echoes,’ ‘Shine On,’ and ‘Dogs.’
Three of the finest pieces of Rock music ever produced.
Masterpieces all.
I would give a strong nod to the Atom Heart Mother Suite, as an orchestral piece, it was music for classical musicians familiar with 20th Century compositions. As such, it made a big splash with orchestral composers.
I suspect that it sort of rehabilitated Orff’s Carmina Burana, tainted from his Nazi connection, along with many other dramatic choral works.
