Members daniel2001 Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Let's just get it straight that Pink Floyd is the absolute greatest band ever. Spot on Animals is a good listen, but I can't listen to it perpetually, DSOTM I can. I can hum every moment of it, I know every word. Just need to learn to play it. As individual songs, I don't think the tracks work very well at all, but if you consider the album as just 2 pieces of music, then its perfect. I think of the A Side as one piece, and the B side as another. I wore out a new pressing of Dark Side within six months of getting it, and it was the first album that I ever listened to properly.

Members PFDarkside Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I absolutely love Pigs and Dogs. And that Rhodes intro to Dogs... If I had to pick my fav Floyd tune Pigs is definitely up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fiery Furnace Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Dark Side of the Moon is the greatest album of any time, ever, in case no has mentioned that. That's backed with reliable evidence, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gold_soundz Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I love saucer full of secrets but most floyd fans I meet don't seem to rate it. But I guess the 'holy trinity' of WYWH, animals and DSOTM are their best albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilbo26 Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Sorry, Animals isn't. I love the album, but the two Pigs on the Wing are a compltee and total waste of space. They're just intros and outros, the other 3 songs are so long there's not really any room for much else. I think they fit in quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CapnMarvel Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hmmmm, not even close.Lets consider what else is out there:Miles Davis -- On the Corner or any of his 70s coolnessFunkadelic -- Maggot Brain. Eddie Hazel kills anything bluesy Gilmour ever did with a single track.Television -- Marquee MoonCan -- Tago Mago or Future daysDavid Bowie -- LowBrian Eno -- Here Come The Warm JetsStooges -- Raw PowerSerge Gainsbourg -- Historie De Melody NelsonPIL -- Metal BoxLee Perry -- Return of the Super ApeThese are just a few off the top of my head that are better, we haven't even really got into the punk/post-punk stuff yet. Right, agree totally...though I'd put some more on that list. But Animals IS the best Pink Floyd album. Of the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roy Brooks Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 That is actually one Pink Floyd record that I can listen to. But I would have to say that teh "best" record of the seventies is Hampton Grease Band- Music To Eat followed by Grateful Dead- Europe 72, King Crimson- Red, and Yes- Yessongs.

Members harshoul Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I grew out of that pretentious {censored} years ago, and now that i'm a mature listener i can proudly state that ABBA where the biggest act of the seventies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Televator Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have scads of Pink Floyd recordings, including all of their albums up to The Final Cut and a few pretty crazy bootlegs and imports from the Ummagumma and Saucerful of Secrets eras, and I have to say that Animals is my least favorite of all of them. The overt, heavy-handed politcal posturing, insipid balladry, and recurrent "woes-of-fame-and-forturne" theme of post-Meddle floyd, coupled with its bluesier sound, makes even the best of their music from that period hard to listen to (except for Dark Side, which to me is something entirely different and special).

Members Heineken Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 It's true... Gilmour's tone on that album is the nastiest of all the 70's PF stuff. And it's the only PF album where Waters vocals really outstand Gilmour's (not that he sings much at all...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DonaldDemon Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 ahhhh Animals...how I love thee. Funny this thread came up because i haven't listened to it in a few years but decided to resurrect it a few days ago. It's in my truck and won't be leaving for a few more days. Has anyone ever heard Les Claypool's live CD covering the entire album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they fit in quite nicely. Yes, they're just intros and outros, but he said the best album of the 70's, and it would've been stronger overall if it was 2 and half minutes shorter. Or just think how awesome it would've been if they had made WYWH a double album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members comfortablynumb Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I just listened to it again, then I listened to Meddle. I think I prefer Meddle.. Though, The Wall is still my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
