It's funny, I always considered myself a Pink Floyd fan, but only really knew the material from "The Wall" ,"Dark Side of the Moon", and "Wish You Were Here". It wasn't until a few weeks ago when a friend and I were hanging out that I heard "Sheep" and realized what I was missing. I listened to Animals in its entirety last night, and it's quickly has become one of my favorite albums from any band, despite only having 5 songs on it.
What do you guys think? What's your favorite song?
Mine is definetly Sheep, I love the way Waters' voice turns into the keyboard in the first few verses....Amazing.
Just Heard Pink Floyd's "Animals"
Underrated masterpiece sandwiched between two 'hailed classics.' Better than "Wish You Were Here" in my opinion.
Whats magical about Floyd is that they have several faces. you might spend your life thinking you're a fan, being familiar with a face or two, then you discover the rest and get overwhelmed!
to me, Pink Floyd are (1)the Syd Barret era with the early sound and first album, (2)the era where they started experimenting and writing weird ass shit (3)the most famous era where they created GOLD from Dark Side of The Moon til The Wall and (4) the last two albums without Roger Waters... a new modern sound.
Anyway, Animals happens to be my number 1 favorite Floyd album, i spent long nights listening to its charming progressiveness and wallowing in the sweet sound and atmosphere it created around me. Dogs is my favorite track cuz of the guitar work.
