Dark Side is probably their best piece of work. That might be one of the best put together albums ever, period.

My personal favorites are Animals & Wish You Were Here with Meddle behind them

Facts ! :ehh: Nice order.

DSOTM :wow:

Animals :wow:
The sad thing is,even during their hey day, they rarely performed songs from Animals. Probably one of the most underrated albums of all time. For me personally, Dogs is probably the greatest song of all time.

The themes of Animals is pretty relevant today.

The whole song is just a testament to Rogers lyricism and Gilmours guitar skills. This was peak Gilmour. I don't think we will ever see another pink Floyd in our lifetime. It's rare to have two freaks of nature in one band.

You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone
Dragged down by the stone


I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer


Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone

DSOTM and Wish You Were Here tied for me, I can never decide which I prefer :wow:

Animals comes right after, followed by The Wall
