Animals is incredible. I think it's my favorite PF album.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

^^ Yeah. The Echoes compilation basically covers the essentials of The Final Cut, Momentary Lapse and The Division Bell, though I'd personally recommend hearing "Signs of Life," "Terminal Frost" and "Cluster One" at least once as well.

This.

It's important to note that that recommendation was for someone who already has

The Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
A Momentary Lapse of Reason
The Delicate Sound of Thunder
The Division Bell
Pulse

I mean, I like Meddle, apparently more than most people (I like the whole album, not just the first and last tracks), and there are a few gems on other albums, but really, Pink Floyd didn't make that many, and Bosk already has most of the good ones.

I need to get Animals and The Wall eventually, but somehow have just never pulled the trigger.  I don't really have a strong desire to get any of their other albums.  Am I completely missing out?

You are missing out big time if you haven't listened to The Piper at The Gates of Dawn yet, it's mindblowing.

Animals and The Wall are both great too  :tup

The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Syd would write lines that sounded so classic and you'd wonder how come nobody came up with them before. The fantastic example is the gingerbread man line: "Take a couple if you wish, they're on a dish." Tremendous.

Totally disagree about The Division Bell. That record, IMO, is great from start to finish, every single track being a winner.  I think it is THE go-to Floyd album after the Big 4.

The Division Bell is alright, but I never really go back to it. That being said High Hopes is (or I guess was now) possibly the greatest closing song to a band's career ever.

I still consider High Hopes to be Pink Floyd's closing song. The stuff on The Endless River as being a side-note imo.

That's where I always land on TDB. I wish I liked it more. The songs sound more alive on PULSE than the do on the album, but the same is true for the AMLoR/DSoT songs. Which is why I never listen to those two albums, since I have DSoT and PULSE. That said, High Hopes is my favorite PF song.

I seriously adore the entire The Division Bell album. It's maybe their most mainstream-sounding one but it's one wonderful tune after another.

I bought The Endless River when I was just discovering the band, right after the first two I bought (Dark Side and The Wall). I think it's fantastic as well. Yes, even Louder than Words.

I still can't grasp the fact that I'm talking about a songs of a band that have been around for decades, and having written many songs that only start to resonate with me at this point in time. Now I wish I was there when they were too.  ;)

Just watched the blu-ray concert film of Roger Waters The Wall... This was the third time... and the volume was pretty high, and my mind was blown, again. It was just like being there. What an amazing film, the audio is fantastic and I love the energy and visual awesomeness of the concert. The bits where Waters is seen driving around or talking to his friend or reminiscing about his dad don't bother me in the slightest... they're actually little breaks in the overall flow of The Wall's album presentation, and besides giving some personal journey material these breaks make the album longer than the 80 minutes we have. The added material not on the album is superbly integrated.

Totally recommended this comes! Probably the best Floyd concert (not by Floyd) and one amazing audiovisual experience. The film is IMO perfection. The only thing I miss in this blu-ray package is the second disc that seems to have been forgotten for my country (Belgium).

I found the CD of it at Hastings, got it since it was discounted pretty high 70% since that store was closing early.

It's great and I want to get the Blu-ray to actually watch.

It's a completely different experience altogether. Not shot like a regular concert either. Edited from multiple concerts on the tour, and you Always get the best angles. Simply jaw-dropping. If you have a good sound system you're in for a treat. :)

Waters has done, IMO, one great solo album in nearly 35 years since leaving Pink Floyd, so my expectations are not high at all, especially since I fear he will beat us over the head with the lyrical content about whatever subject he is pissed about these days.  :lol :lol
