Yeh, or 'Careful with that Axe, Eugene'... or 'Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict'... among others.. Floyd had lots of humor... ever read the words to 'Bike'...

Yep,I don't doubt that the pig appreared on the the animals tour. However, they did bring the pig back for the MLOR tour in the UK And I can vouch that it had a big er...well, er....
Did the Animals tour pig have a large...um...(cough, cough) as well then?

What about Gong, or Frank Zappa? Plenty of humour there. Some of my Proghole schoolmates could not force themselves to like Gong for that very reason, but at 16 it was that, and discovering the joys of good herb, that opened my mind to them. Superb!

I agree that Syd had a sense of humor but I purposely skipped that era of Floyd to make the point. Personally I never thought Careful With That Axe Eugene was funny(the Live Version on Uma Gumma still gives me shivers when Roger does his bloodcurdling screams) and I never thought one way or another about the cover of Atom Heart Mother..although I will agree with Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in A Cave and Grooving With a Pict

I also think that "Young Lust" from the Wall is funny... especially the ending phone call back to the UK..... and on AHM... Funky Dung... it may be an instrumental, but with a name like that back then it couldn't help but be funny...
and the story about the pig from the DSOT tour (AMLOR album) is true, they did indeed have a pig with big genitals... and it was because Roger had the Pig design from the Animals tour copyrighted (for some ungodly reason) cause I believe the idea was Storms originally....

Ok...you win...but after watching the Wall movie I am going to make you retract Young Lust as humorous.., but I still don't thinK Gentle Giant was as stuffy as you say...but then again you tend to have 1st hand experience with alot of these bands so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this subject. (See- a progger can admit he's wrong sometimes....but don't expect it very often...at least not from me!!!

Who was it that said;
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it and the mark of a wise mind that can change and be better for it
you are both gdub
