Damn Animals with Pink Floyd is overrated!

orchestra night - eric clapton - wonderful tonight.. are few f ma fav's..

I've never read a Hairy Pooter book and only sat through a couple of the films, they're not my cup of tea to be honest, but don't let that stop you attempting to belittle me, so please do continue.

You may have something insightful and interesting to say, but you cannot seem to find a way to say it that isn't patronising (as your reply adequately illustrates) and that weakens whatever you point you are trying to make. It is possible to make a point and make yourself look more erudite and informed without making denigrating remarks about the people here on the PA. From my experience the "people here" are incredibly knowledgeable, well read, well educated and have a far broader outlook and breadth of experience than you ever give them credit for.

...that said, who is Jane?

I think that one of the reasons why PF ended up falling apart was that the creative convergence between them began to fall apart.

 

You can see where Roger went, and even in his solo albums, and eventually CA IRA, which almost no one here has heard or will sit in for 10 minutes, because it isn't rock'n'roll in the top ten format that you gotta have it! David felt more comfortable just playing the lead in rock songs, that became almost meaningless, and then in a grand concert in Poland, his ego was bigger than the orchestra, that you can't hear and the music was created and conducted by Zbigniew Preissner, and what David did was criminal, and cheap and just another form of punk rock for the masses! The kind we call a rip!

 

I think that Nick is too comfortable with his toys to care a whole lot. I think that Rick was more interested in the "escape" fro the conventional music and his last solo album shows it. Still "composed" but very different. I kinda think that he missed the experimental side that helped add so much "ambience" to a lot of the work that they did, some of which became defined then as just some more rock and roll music and nothing else. Separate Rick's keyboard stuff from everything else, and it is bleeping insane and crazy and way out there! In some ways, he was the "alien" in the whole thing!

So true, Waters perhaps one of the most politically outspoken musician's of this time and it was found in his lyrics way before Animals as you say DSOTM and earlier. The Wall still so prevalent even in modern day tours, much to Israel's disliking of his support of Palestine over the new wall being built in Israel. Finger on the pulse as always whether you agree or disagree with him. ATD another great lyrical work along the lines of The Wall and DSOTM.
