I'm just a few albums and a few hours of listening to them away from being a fanboy. I was going to buy it anyways but atleast now I know it's good. :)

[QUOTE=rock not rolled]was banned for 14 days. Something like 8 left...

How's the album Meddle? Like seriously, I've heard songs off of it but how's it as a whole?[/QUOTE]

The songs that I've heard from it are pretty awesome, but I haven't heard it either. What did you get banned for in the first place?

The saxophonist's is Dick Perry to the guy who asked.

Yeah I was kind of dissapointed in the purchase of Animals. I've heard all the songs and had them on mixes for ages so I finally bought the album. While the songs are amazing in quality, it just didn't flow aswell as WYWH or the others. And Dogs being the second song on the album is just wierd. You'd think with that epic ending, it would be towards the end. :/

yah it definently wasnt as good as wywh but it was a good album(as is all of Floyd's). I loved dogs. thats like the best song on that album. o and btw yes meddle is a awesome album, especially fearless, san tropez, and echoes.

To RnR, get Meddle. I know its been said, but get it. It's brilliant.

Animals is supposed to be uneasy listening. It was made at the time that The Sex Pistols et al were making music that was harsh and "not nice". Also, Animals tells a story, and it introduces the Dogs first, as the Pigs are the main focus of the story.

Animals has more songs that are actually songs. Not like The Wall or something that's basically a movie soundtrack with some songs thrown in.

Meddle is great. Im thankful that echoes is 23 minutes long because that song is so perfect nothing could be added or taken from that song to make it better the way it is. One of these Days is also one of my favorites too. I wish they hadnt split it up on the DVD though.

I watched the "regular" version of it (not the Directors Cut), and it seemed really tacky to me. Im glad i didnt get that one now that i seen it

I couldnt imagine Dogs last on Animals...Maybe it different if you dont fully understand the concept, but excluding Pigs on the wing 1 and 2, I like Sheep's Ending to the album much better

Actually, everything off The Wall is a song, and I enjoy everyone of them, whether it be Happiest Days Of Our Lives or Comfortably Numb.

Even Stop is musically coherent.

I think averageguitarist is talking about Floyd style songs going into eachother Like DSOTM rather then just songs thrown on an album. The only real connecting songs on the album are another brick and the happiest days, Empty Spaces to Young Lust, and Stop to The Trial, and probably a few more, but thats only because its more of a rock opera focus than a Concept album, but they perfected what the Who had started only 10 year earlier IMO

I disagree. I listen to The Wall, and all of the songs flow into each other. I know that you are talking about the end chords of one being the beginning chords of the other, but I still consider a flow even when the song begins abruptly from the next one. Hence The Wall Disc 1 and 2 could be considered one long song, especially with the repeated melody that is most identifiable in Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) but occurs in a lot of the songs.

Actually Dick Perry played with them on DSOTM not DSOT. That guy was Scott Page.

I love Animals soo much.(epecially right now)

They are technically songs, but tracks like Bring the Boys Back home, Empty Spaces, etc are just in their to further the plot or change the mood. They all awesome, but they're not really a song in the same sense Mother or Comfortably Numb is a song.

Whatever. :wave:

Buy Meddle. Its very very good. :thumb:

In response to the repeated melodies on The Wall, the one that's played under the solo in Hey You is also heard on Waiting For The Worms and The Trial. You know which one I'm talking about, that [i]reeeaal[/i] badass one. The one that sounds awesome.

Just a suggestion, If you like Roger Waters lyrics then you should pick up his cd Amused to Death, it is great. And also Roger Waters has recorded some new tracks that are download only about the war in Iraq. I am convinced that Roger Waters lyrics get better with time and he was at his peak with albums like Amused to Death or The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hicking. Too bad lyrics like that were used for his solo work, not with Pink Floyd :( RIP pink floyd

If it consists of musical note, and has a begining and an end it is a song.

I agree completely. I always thought the album flowed beautifully.

And to Carramrod, I disagree. I think Roger Waters went downhill in every way after he left Pink Floyd. I don't like those new songs at all.

I don't think he has heard him sing.

Don't think I have, or carramrod has? Because I think those new songs are very subpar, having heard the singing and the instrumentals. The lyrics are boring, in my opinion.

Roger cannot sing, its horrible.

Agreed. He used to sing decently. At least his voice would fit well with the songs. But now it's pretty crappy.

On a completely different topic: Gilmour, remember that shirt you posted the link to awhile back? The tye-dye with Gilmour playing guitar? I got it today! *glee* If I can get hold of a digital camera, I'll post a picture.

Ironicly, he got it today too.

love pink floyd i do preffer syd barretts music but all floyd is ****inf sweet
the most haunting lyrics i think in the gnome

Allright, I would just like some clarification about Roger Waters and Gilmour on their vocals. Who sings DSOTM? I'm having a hard time distiguishing them from each other, so could someone give me some defining features of each of their styles?

Most of the time its Gilmour. Name a few song thst confuse you, and we might be able to help.

****. Well, what songs on DSOTM does Waters sing on, that would help me out a lot.

Breathe = Gilmour
Time = Gilmour and Wright
Money = Gilmour
Us and Them = I don't recall
Brain Damage/Eclipse = Waters

Here's a good way to distinguish. In Comfortably Numb, the doctor part (hello, is there anybody in there, just nod if you can hear me, is there anyone at home?) is Waters. The chorus (there is no pain you are receding) is Gilmour.
