Don't underestimate the PINK FLOYD Under-Polllllll

!!!

I find Waters's vocals on Pigs anything BUT cloying. If anything I find them a much more honest demonstration of his anger than he plays at on The Wall, as much as I love that album.

"Echoes" kinda bores me these days, it's so obviously just a nice little song painfully stretched out to fit one side of an album. Also I always thought the line "Strangers passing in the street/ By chance two separate glances meet" was "Strangers passing in the street/ By chance two separate classes meet". Really tempted to vote "Atom Heart Mother" but I hate that Waters whingefest "If".

seems like a good place to post this http://vimeo.com/36261399

It seems the 'period' of PF I like best is the one where they all try really hard at being a rock band and writing songs and filling the space left by the bloke that used to do all that.

and not the "Rog takes over" bit.

Which would seem to suggest I'd like the last 2 PF albums. Would I?

Animals for me. I love how damn paranoid 'Dogs' sounds when it fades in, and the way each vocal line crossfades into that synth tone during 'Sheep' (not to mention the outro on that track, which is one of THE moments of the album when it kicks in).

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

I love 'Animals' so much I can't even tell you. For one thing, I love the singing, which is not the first thing that usually comes to mind when I think of Pink Floyd. I love how 'stone' echoes eternally. I love the conceit; it's one of the very few concept albums where the idea doesn't intrude on the mysterious beauty of the music. I love the melodies, they are indelible. I love the lyrics, especially 'Dogs.' Whenever I hear that song I think, oh God, my poor father. I LOVE the riff at the end of 'Sheep.' I love every fucking thing about this album, including the tremendous album cover.

I just bought the remaster of Animals after not having heard it for years. I always loved the record's vibe, but in retrospect that impression is mostly produced by the majesty of "Dogs." Therefore I gotta vote Meddle.

i am skeptical

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Sad that More didn't get a vote, but it would be 4th or 5th at best if I ranked them.

Wow, high turnout!

I can get behind this, agreed about the cover, it's the only Floyd album I have on vinyl and the gatefold sleeve looks so great.

This poll inspired me to give The Final Cut a go - absolutely hated it (too much shouty/pained Roger) but would be interested in hearing a fan's view. Also listened to the 'More' soundtrack, which was ok.

always thought Ummagumma had a lot of supporters here?

i also feel bad for More. Cymbaline is in my PF top 5.

The two who voted for Momentary Lapse, I'd like to see you in my office after work.

Have we ever polled Roger Waters solo albums?

To poll Roger Waters's solo albums?
Now that'll be a momentary relapse into pain:)
