I agree 👍 Animals is pink Floyd at the peak of their powers, an absolute masterpiece! Most people who aren't familiar with Pink Floyd's extended library of music consider Dark Side Of The Moon to be the perfect album, and that may well be...but (in my opinion) it isn't even Pink Floyd's best album. That's testament to just how good Pink Floyd are. Shine on 🙂
@@dixiechatty958 Agreed, I always tell folks that enjoy a song, get comfy and listen to the album all the way through and understand the progression of those themes.
I'm super impressed by your analysis Jay especially for a first time listener! You pretty much nailed it though. The Animals album is based on the same concept as the book Animal Farm by George Orwell where the different farm animals represent different classes within society. The sheep are your ignorant working poor and middle class where dogs are considered more cut-throats like businessmen and politicians who support the hierarchy and the pigs who are held in power by the dogs who keep the sheep under control. It's a brilliant class analysis and a super cool album!
I know I say this a lot, but could you picture an artist or group coming out with such a well produced, well written and meaningful song like this today? Nope.
I gotta disagree just a wee bit. There are Adam Jones, Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor to consider with the melody and lyrics of MJ Keenan ;) Tool always manages to make it happen.
@@moonbubbles3046 I respect your opinion. For me, it was the whole package of Pink Floyd. Production, great vocals, great song writing, everyone could play, timeless guitar leads and hooks, in this song in particular, but also album after album. I agree there is talent out there. Just not on this level.(my opinion).
Did you notice that after the long instrumental section, there's a different singer?? Everything before that breakdown is sung by Gilmour, and everything after by Waters, and you can tell they represent different types of "dog".
This is my favorite Floyd song. Roger waters in the flesh tour is probably one of my favorite versions. The lyrics are timeless to this song and still true to this day. All this Floyd is making my weekend. About to bust out my albums and watch the Wall.
That would be the albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, & The Final Cut that are about musicians and the music industry. Animals is actually just describing modern Political, Corporate & Social issues with a George Orwell 'Animal Farm' theme.
Pink Floyd's Animals album is bad-ass all the way through. There are no good guys. Well, except maybe the Sheep, but you can imagine how they end up. Sheep is probably the song I'd do next. Then Pigs, Three Different Ones.
Another Floyd concept album. The "animals" are based on types of people in society. The dogs are predatory, possibly high-powered business types. Also relates to how they are trained to obey their superiors. etc.
They needed to have a section for Cats. I’m a cat person, independent and introverted, but affectionate when I feel the urge. Gentle most of the time but fierce when riled.
@@jp1170 It's a tuff call. Shine On is a masterpiece too. Personally I'd probably have to give the slight edge to Dogs tho (But I DO prefer Wish You were Here LP over Animals...it's alittle stronger IMO)
I went to see this Animals concert at an outdoor arena when I was young. It was incredible. They had giant inflated animals floating around at dusk. I'm sure I lost some hearing that night.
Lucky you. I have heard a few roio's of that In The Flesh tour. The Montreal one is the best. With pigs, welcome to the machine and shine on parts 6-9 being the highlights.
Pink Floyd approached songs like a painter approaches a canvas. Everything is about what they want to convey and length of song is irrelevant, only the message
I was 16 when this album was release. That was in 1977. Musical comparisons for that time - You make me feel like dancing by Leo Sayer and Dancing Queen by Abba. So yeah, this was really really different. So there I was, a boy, a bong, headsets and a new vinyl copy of Animals. I was hooked on Pink Floyd for life. Dogs, best song ever.
So glad you have no fear of making longer videos. Most really long tunes have a real reason for existing! Dire Straits has five or six, CCR's full version "Grapevine", Eric Burden and the Animals' "Sky Pilot", a bunch of Allman Brothers. and of course the Floyd. I'm with you!
For a proper English Gentleman, David can play some of the filthiest guitar licks ever. It's a Dog Eat Dog World. We have to help each other carry the load.
My best friend and I would sit at her house and listen too this album twice a month. Animals, dogs, pigs and sheep. We were teens then. Only 3 songs I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Old gray mare aint what she uae too be. She's gone now. But this made me smile. Thanks.
I live in Pimlico which is on the North side of the Thames and opposite Battersea powerstation, which can be seen for a long way. Years ago, my friends and I had been tripping (not the light fandango) all night and at about 5am we went bowling down to the cab rank at Chelsea bridge as that was the only place to get a cup of tea that early. We were walking along in sunglasses, yeah, I'm aware what tits we looked but when you took them off you were treated to a blaze of new colours. My pal, Paul suddenly noticed the dirigible over the Battersea powerstation and directed us to look. We had a good laugh, telling him he must be tripping etc but then we all saw it too even though we were coming down from our trip. We came to a concensus that we had been convinced by the power of suggestion. It wasn't til yonks later that we saw the album cover and the story behind it
Absolute fave Floyd album. Perfect album beginning to end. U must listen on your own. ****fave song on album. "Pigs, three different ones." Still extremely relevant. As is most Floyd. ✌🏻
Love this song! Another great reaction as always! If you decide to go through their 60s stuff, I recommend "Bike", "Jugband Blues" and the beautiful "Green is the Colour" 💛
The album is a take on George Orwell's Animal Farm were the animals represent certain people. Here Dogs represent the world of high powered businessmen, ruthless, cut throat, greedy and back stabbing without any empathy for anyone else.
The best concert I have ever attended was Pink Floyd in 1977 (i had been a fan of their music for several years from the "Ummagumma" album, followed by "Atom Heart Mother", "Obscured By Clouds", "Meddle", "DSOTM" and "WYWH") - they played the entire "Wish You Were Here" album, took a break, and then played the entire "Animals" album - it was amazing. You mentioned the swirling sounds - at that time, they were pioneers (in a lot of things) as they used a quadraphonic speaker setup (the main speakers by the stage, and then additional speakers on the sides and rear of the arena). The dog sounds (and the sheep sounds on "Sheep") were swirling around the arena. There was also a round screen behind the drummer that had 'videos" (although videos weren't a thing at the time) that went along with some of the songs. But, the most incredible thing I've ever seen/been a part of: at the end, everyone wanted an encore, and kept up the noise, shouting, clapping, whistling, etc. etc. until PF finally came back (after about 45 minutes - the crowd didn't let up!) and played "Money".
Ah my favorite pink floyd album, bought it when it came out I was 14 and it taught me alot about people and life. I always get lost in their music too...♡
if i had only one pink floyd song to listen to for the rest of my life it would probably be this one. i see this video was recorded in sept. 2020. it's jan. 2021 now and i hope you've listened to this again several more times. you get more out of it the more you hear it,and gilmour's guitar solos never get old. i've been listening to this song over 40 years and i always hear or feel something new each time.
Great reaction man. Can tell that you really paid attention to and thought about the lyrics, and you got it immediately.. broke it down really well at the end, particularly for someone listening to the song for the first time
I always think of George Orwell’s Animal Farm when I listen to this album. Pink Floyd. That is a rabbit hole you definitely want to go down! Great Gig In The Sky on Dark Side Of The Moon....vocals on that will BLOW your mind!
Hey youngblood, l enjoy watching your reaction videos about songs, bands and musicians which became important and dear to me at early age. This album was lyrically quite serious and dark one, but musically brilliant. As Pink Floyd albunms are. I listened to this a lot when it came out and l still do sometimes. In a train approaching London for the first time in July 1981 l spotted that Battersea Powerstation. Left me speechless. I did not know that this building really existed.
First Floyd tape I ever bought. The whole album is amazing. But then again, Every album is a different and complete experience. So glad you appreciate them!
Great review man. Roger Waters in an interview said the concept behind the album is that there are 3 types of human being; dogs, pigs and sheeps. He also said that he is definetely a dog... Apart from echoes, you should also listen to Welcome to the machine. It is quite a unique and creative song. Keep on the good work!
Yes, yes! The Animals album is a great album and Dogs is one of my favorites. Comments below may say to listen to this album in its entirety to grasp fully the meaning and that is a good suggestion. This song has both David Gilmour( the first part) and Rogers Waters( second part) singing lead. Looking forward to your reaction Note: I may be wrong in the above but I always thought a heard of a difference in the second part of the song. If I am wrong please let me know
“Echoes” by PF is one of their masterpieces - gotta react to it, Jay. Amazing what they did while so young! I prefer the live in Pompeii version from 1972 (?), where they played in the ancient amphitheater with just their crew...playing to the ghosts of Pompeii 🎶🔥🎶 But, finish the Animals album first while this song is fresh in your mind🤗 Pink Floyd is wonderful at taking you places mentally & spiritually.
Pink Floyd never gets old. From the psychedelic days of 1966 with Syd Barrett to 2014's Endless River album (no one ever reacts to their last hit "Louder Than Words", such a masterpiece!) Roger Waters and David Gilmour are still performing and making new music in 2020.
Yes those wailing guitars were impressive, perfectly matching that red sunset on the Battersea Power plant on the front cover - no turned into a commercial center I believe. I kind of liken this work to the painter Lowry - he painted dour industrial settings around him. Not what you would expect from an artist. Pink Floyd have done the same in this respect.
After almost 30 years of "getting lost" in Pink Floyd when I needed them, from the hopeless depression of The Wall, to the self discovery of Dark Side of the Moon...this album (Animals) has emerged as my favorite. People will try to tell you what a particular song or album is about, and it may be true, but don't hesitate to assign a personal meaning to it...I rather think that's what Pink Floyd wanted...
lmfaooo only Pink Floyd can make a 17 minute song, and at the end you say "whoa, that was it?" I loved so much about your reaction but that was my favorite part xD
Dogs is a stellar song, awesome choice bro 👍 It's from the album Animals which is an absolute masterpiece. I recommend listening to Pigs and Sheep from the same album. Great video 🙂
MY FAVE FLOYD SONG EVER!!! My fave Floyd album. And frankly, the lyrics reminded me back when i first heard this in the early 90’s, of Bill Clinton, as it was election time... still can pertain to politics in 2020, u think..? I know its about the industry, but i always refer politics to it, which is similar... I fucking love everything about this!!
The Animals album is one of Pink Floyd's most underrated albums, and it really is a mini-masterpiece about corporate corruption, played out in the form of animals (Pigs, Dogs and Sheep...I think you can probably guess which each animal represents). With the exception of the opening and closing songs, every song on this album is at least ten minutes long. Very much in the same vain as Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall, very heavy subjects with lyrics that will make you think twice about things you may have always taken for granted.
"Sheep" and "Pigs (3 different ones)," also from the Animals album, are definitely worth a listen. "Empty Spaces/Young Lust," from the Wall album, would be another great one too!
The guitar duets in this song is one of the best and both parts played by David Gilmour. BTW, I understand Gilmour also played the bass guitar track while Roger Waters played the acoustic guitar throughout. On tour for this album, they took Whitey Ford of Everlast to play the duet with Gilmour.
People don't even know things. That tape echo on the word "stone". It comes back in an exact mirror. It you have this album on cassette, when it gets to that part, flip the tape right away. You'll hear the "stone" echo come back in, in the middle of Sheep.It was designed that way, on purpose.
This is a song about the soulless, money-grabbing, back-stabbing, corporate-climbing drones that do the dirty work for the powers that be.
Just like now.
Not Trump 2020 Trump 2021 Trump 🇺🇸🇺🇸maybe Hillary and joe Biden democraticas !!

@@jamiedimond9419 yes it does 👍
In my opinion this is Pink Floyds best album. Every song is a masterpiece.
I drove from Cleveland to eureka ca and back listing to this.
It definitely flies under the radar compared to Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.
But part of me always thinks Animals is easily their best album.
I agree 👍
Animals is pink Floyd at the peak of their powers, an absolute masterpiece!
Most people who aren't familiar with Pink Floyd's extended library of music consider Dark Side Of The Moon to be the perfect album, and that may well be...but (in my opinion) it isn't even Pink Floyd's best album. That's testament to just how good Pink Floyd are.
Shine on 🙂
@@moviebad109 yes! My feelings exactly
Totally agree!!
18:50 "Whoa, that was it?" after listening to a 17 minute song, you still want more... Now you know....
NOW you're on to something, bud. Pink Floyd's "Animals" album is an absolute MASTERPIECE, my very favorite PFloyd album for more than 40 years.
My favorite also. It really should be listened to all at once, like most Pink Floyd albums.
@@dixiechatty958 Agreed, I always tell folks that enjoy a song, get comfy and listen to the album all the way through and understand the progression of those themes.
Gilmour has a huge tapestry of the album cover hanging in his living room.
OMG! The sound this band created is unbelievable! In my opinion they’re in a class by their selves 🙌🏻
Indeed.....Pink Floyd created their own genre of music. Hardcore PFloyd fan since 1972....!!!!!
DrVonChilla Hi, yes indeed. You said it better! I was thinking the same that they don’t fall into any genres. Category of their own!!!♥️

You get it. It's about YOU.
You are now a Floydian.
This is my favorite Floyd song. Roger waters in the flesh tour is probably one of my favorite versions. The lyrics are timeless to this song and still true to this day. All this Floyd is making my weekend. About to bust out my albums and watch the Wall.
He's talking about the music industry. Roger wasn't a fan of corporations, still isn't.
I'm sure alot of musicians felt the same way....record label companies are nothin but a bunch of greedy vultures
He's talking about corporate, profit-driven folk in general.
They were talking bout greedy music culture in "Have A Cigar."
That would be the albums Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall, & The Final Cut that are about musicians and the music industry. Animals is actually just describing modern Political, Corporate & Social issues with a George Orwell 'Animal Farm' theme.

JULIE BOWNESS Good on ya, Jules! I can’t get enough fun facts! 👍👍💖💖💖
'Raving & Drooling' was the title I also heard.
This is my favorite Pink Floyd album. Please consider doing Sheep from this album.
Been listening to PFLoyd since 1972 and "Animals" is my favorite, too. PFloyd at the APEX of their powers...!!!!!
Actually I never heard this before. I’m blown away.
So many levels of fine tuned, deep perfection in Pink Floyd's music. Welcome to the Machine....
Pink Floyd's Animals album is bad-ass all the way through. There are no good guys. Well, except maybe the Sheep, but you can imagine how they end up. Sheep is probably the song I'd do next. Then Pigs, Three Different Ones.
The sheep rise up at the end and kill all the dogs "Have you heard the news?? All the dogs are dead!!"
Another Floyd concept album. The "animals" are based on types of people in society. The dogs are predatory, possibly high-powered business types. Also relates to how they are trained to obey their superiors. etc.
It was inspired by Animal Farm

@@cw5451 you're about 30 years late with that complaint. I dont see how that would fit in with the album
Yeah, that was always what I got from it, dogs were the corporate business type, dog eat dog world; "no one has a real friend......
Jennifer Mirra I don’t know where it would have fit in either...maybe after dogs. 😆 But it still would have been cool IMO.
Probably PF's best song....certainly top 5 for sure
My favorite song from my favorite concept album. It's had a massive effect in my guitar playing.
Probably best album
Shine on you crazy diamond
@@jp1170 It's a tuff call. Shine On is a masterpiece too. Personally I'd probably have to give the slight edge to Dogs tho (But I DO prefer Wish You were Here LP over Animals...it's alittle stronger IMO)
This is there best song... Followed by Echoes
Oh this will be priceless. Yes enjoy the ride. Thanks.
I went to see this Animals concert at an outdoor arena when I was young. It was incredible. They had giant inflated animals floating around at dusk. I'm sure I lost some hearing that night.
@ggofthejungle
I saw this tour also and those giant animals were amazing!. They played for what seemed 3 1/2 hours.
Lucky you. I have heard a few roio's of that In The Flesh tour. The Montreal one is the best. With pigs, welcome to the machine and shine on parts 6-9 being the highlights.
This is my favorite song off of Animals. I don't know why this album wasn't a bigger hit than it was. I played it to DEATH when it came out.
Pink Floyd approached songs like a painter approaches a canvas. Everything is about what they want to convey and length of song is irrelevant, only the message
My first time hearing this song, fantastic tune
I was 16 when this album was release. That was in 1977. Musical comparisons for that time - You make me feel like dancing by Leo Sayer and Dancing Queen by Abba. So yeah, this was really really different. So there I was, a boy, a bong, headsets and a new vinyl copy of Animals. I was hooked on Pink Floyd for life. Dogs, best song ever.
So glad you have no fear of making longer videos. Most really long tunes have a real reason for existing! Dire Straits has five or six, CCR's full version "Grapevine", Eric Burden and the Animals' "Sky Pilot", a bunch of Allman Brothers. and of course the Floyd. I'm with you!
OH, HELL YEAH!!! I haven’t heard this in decades. I’d forgotten how much I loved it! 💖💖💖👍
The whole Animals album is a masterpiece!
rushgal4ever Definitely!! 👍👍💖
In “decades”??? Now that’s just wrong. 😊
C W 😂😂😂👍
That building on the cover is Battersea power station. I grew up there and could see it from my bedroom window.
Ditto - almost! I grew up in Pimlico, and could see Battersea Power Station from the kitchen and living room windows...
For a proper English Gentleman, David can play some of the filthiest guitar licks ever. It's a Dog Eat Dog World. We have to help each other carry the load.
It’s interesting how they can bring the darkness of life into the art of music and make it so good to listen to. And it makes you really think.
My best friend and I would sit at her house and listen too this album twice a month. Animals, dogs, pigs and sheep. We were teens then. Only 3 songs I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Old gray mare aint what she uae too be. She's gone now. But this made me smile. Thanks.
I live in Pimlico which is on the North side of the Thames and opposite Battersea powerstation, which can be seen for a long way. Years ago, my friends and I had been tripping (not the light fandango) all night and at about 5am we went bowling down to the cab rank at Chelsea bridge as that was the only place to get a cup of tea that early. We were walking along in sunglasses, yeah, I'm aware what tits we looked but when you took them off you were treated to a blaze of new colours. My pal, Paul suddenly noticed the dirigible over the Battersea powerstation and directed us to look. We had a good laugh, telling him he must be tripping etc but then we all saw it too even though we were coming down from our trip. We came to a concensus that we had been convinced by the power of suggestion. It wasn't til yonks later that we saw the album cover and the story behind it
This is their only major album I never really listened to after 32 years of being a fan. About time I fixed that. Nice vid.
Absolute fave Floyd album. Perfect album beginning to end. U must listen on your own.
****fave song on album. "Pigs, three different ones." Still extremely relevant. As is most Floyd. ✌🏻
Love this song! Another great reaction as always! If you decide to go through their 60s stuff, I recommend "Bike", "Jugband Blues" and the beautiful "Green is the Colour" 💛
Even without the lyrics..... The music tells the story. ❤️
This song is one of the best ones o love to hear I can sit back and go into dream land jayvon you half to listen to pigs to
The album is a take on George Orwell's Animal Farm were the animals represent certain people. Here Dogs represent the world of high powered businessmen, ruthless, cut throat, greedy and back stabbing without any empathy for anyone else.
That's my all time favorite pink floyd song and top three album for me. You have very good heclecktic taste.
Pink Floyd is from another dimension. No music makes feel like they do.
No better musicians. Period.
Except the Bangles (that's a joke)
@@corkydukeII5898 LOL
I had ANIMLS on my license plate in college in the late '80s-early '90s ... one of my favorite albums ever. Thanks for the reaction!
Animals is my absolute Favorite Pink Floyd album. It's a literal rock symphony.
Such a great song
“I could sit here all day and listen to this.”
Which makes it particularly nice that this is a 17 minute song. ;) hehehe
The best concert I have ever attended was Pink Floyd in 1977 (i had been a fan of their music for several years from the "Ummagumma" album, followed by "Atom Heart Mother", "Obscured By Clouds", "Meddle", "DSOTM" and "WYWH") - they played the entire "Wish You Were Here" album, took a break, and then played the entire "Animals" album - it was amazing.

I forgot about this song , I had to unplug the headphones cause I thought my 2 G. Shepperd s were barking.
Ah my favorite pink floyd album, bought it when it came out I was 14 and it taught me alot about people and life. I always get lost in their music too...♡
if i had only one pink floyd song to listen to for the rest of my life it would probably be this one. i see this video was recorded in sept. 2020. it's jan. 2021 now and i hope you've listened to this again several more times. you get more out of it the more you hear it,and gilmour's guitar solos never get old. i've been listening to this song over 40 years and i always hear or feel something new each time.
Gosh I love all your vids!! Thank u so much for picking PINK FLOYD this time!!! Dogs, my fav song ever....thank you so much!!
Excellent song shows the mastery of Pink Floyd.
“They always seem to get it right, Man”. Very true & an understatement!
Great reaction man. Can tell that you really paid attention to and thought about the lyrics, and you got it immediately.. broke it down really well at the end, particularly for someone listening to the song for the first time
George Orwell’s Novel “Animal Farm” explains everything........
love seeing people reacting to the music I grew up with. these guys are the real deal.
Pink Floyd is REALLY deep. 👍😎
I always think of George Orwell’s Animal Farm when I listen to this album. Pink Floyd. That is a rabbit hole you definitely want to go down!
Great Gig In The Sky on Dark Side Of The Moon....vocals on that will BLOW your mind!
Marti Rannells You probably think that because it was loosely based on the book. 🤗🎶🤘🏼
One thing about Floyd.....they always bang out the thought provoking songs 🔥
My effin FAVORITE Floyd song. Ever. Gah! I clicked this so fast.
Hey youngblood, l enjoy watching your reaction videos about songs, bands and musicians which became important and dear to me at early age. This album was lyrically quite serious and dark one, but musically brilliant. As Pink Floyd albunms are. I listened to this a lot when it came out and l still do sometimes.

The album cover is of Battersea power station (no longer functioning) in London.
Great review man.

Apart from echoes, you should also listen to Welcome to the machine. It is quite a unique and creative song.
Keep on the good work!
Yes, yes! The Animals album is a great album and Dogs is one of my favorites. Comments below may say to listen to this album in its entirety to grasp fully the meaning and that is a good suggestion. This song has both David Gilmour( the first part) and Rogers Waters( second part) singing lead. Looking forward to your reaction
Note: I may be wrong in the above but I always thought a heard of a difference in the second part of the song. If I am wrong please let me know
“Echoes” by PF is one of their masterpieces - gotta react to it, Jay. Amazing what they did while so young! I prefer the live in Pompeii version from 1972 (?), where they played in the ancient amphitheater with just their crew...playing to the ghosts of Pompeii 🎶🔥🎶 But, finish the Animals album first while this song is fresh in your mind🤗
Pink Floyd is wonderful at taking you places mentally & spiritually.
That would be my recommendation too. I wore out my VHS tape of Live at Pompeii. It has to be the original version though, not the directors cut.
Pink Floyd never gets old. From the psychedelic days of 1966 with Syd Barrett to 2014's Endless River album (no one ever reacts to their last hit "Louder Than Words", such a masterpiece!) Roger Waters and David Gilmour are still performing and making new music in 2020.
Yes sir. Gold.
Any time Pink Floyd is on .... you have my attention 💕
Serious tune from Animals which is a Masterpiece ☝️
MORE FLOYD
Yes those wailing guitars were impressive, perfectly matching that red sunset on the Battersea Power plant on the front cover - no turned into a commercial center I believe. I kind of liken this work to the painter Lowry - he painted dour industrial settings around him. Not what you would expect from an artist. Pink Floyd have done the same in this respect.
Ive always felt one truly hasnt experienced floyd til they hear "animals" 👍
After almost 30 years of "getting lost" in Pink Floyd when I needed them, from the hopeless depression of The Wall, to the self discovery of Dark Side of the Moon...this album (Animals) has emerged as my favorite. People will try to tell you what a particular song or album is about, and it may be true, but don't hesitate to assign a personal meaning to it...I rather think that's what Pink Floyd wanted...
Great to see someone discovering Pink Floyd.
Their intelligent lyrics are always full of social comment. A truly outstanding band.
I love that you are feeling these great songs
One of my top 5 PF songs! I lived in this dog eat dog business world for 42 years, it sucked!
Oh by the way. Fair warning. In their music you will hear things that are not music lol but fit in it. Lol
Pink Floyd fest! Great album.
Their best song ever. Thanx for reacting!
lmfaooo only Pink Floyd can make a 17 minute song, and at the end you say "whoa, that was it?" I loved so much about your reaction but that was my favorite part xD
Dogs is a stellar song, awesome choice bro 👍
It's from the album Animals which is an absolute masterpiece. I recommend listening to Pigs and Sheep from the same album.
Great video 🙂
Other than every Beatles album this is my favorite album. You should listen to it start to finish in order. Thanks
Lol, you jumped right into the psychedelics with this one!! 😂😂😅 Pigs is also a great one from the same album
Great song to check out is You Win Again Bee Gee's.
I recommend listening to Echoes if you haven't already. The 23 min original version. 👌. I wouldn't even call it a song. Rather an experience.

I know its about the industry, but i always refer politics to it, which is similar... I fucking love everything about this!!
The Animals album is one of Pink Floyd's most underrated albums, and it really is a mini-masterpiece about corporate corruption, played out in the form of animals (Pigs, Dogs and Sheep...I think you can probably guess which each animal represents). With the exception of the opening and closing songs, every song on this album is at least ten minutes long. Very much in the same vain as Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall, very heavy subjects with lyrics that will make you think twice about things you may have always taken for granted.
No words exist for how good this song is❤you should check out old Genesis also.
"Sheep" and "Pigs (3 different ones)," also from the Animals album, are definitely worth a listen. "Empty Spaces/Young Lust," from the Wall album, would be another great one too!
This is arguably their best song
I like your reaction. It seems genuine. Please keep doing more. So many people are fake. But you seem real. Again, please do more
Floyd at their very best. This is their best album...bar none. Best heard with headphones
Basically they create Artistic Compositions.. And are proud of them.. Nuff said
Roger likes to take like a big frying pan of truth and smack you across the head with it, when it comes to his lyrics :p
I love this quote...so true!..😎
The guitar duets in this song is one of the best and both parts played by David Gilmour. BTW, I understand Gilmour also played the bass guitar track while Roger Waters played the acoustic guitar throughout. On tour for this album, they took Whitey Ford of Everlast to play the duet with Gilmour.
Got to listen to the album in its entirety for full effect. Great concept,and IMO,their best work!
No words necessary...😁
People don't even know things. That tape echo on the word "stone". It comes back in an exact mirror. It you have this album on cassette, when it gets to that part, flip the tape right away. You'll hear the "stone" echo come back in, in the middle of Sheep.It was designed that way, on purpose.
I got this album in 78 from money I got cutting grass
A few years later I worked at a mall on the east coast, bought 300 CDs when they first came out, and a $500 200 watt Carver amplifier.
