Track from The Final Cut-"Not Now John" is underrated.

How do you feel about AMLOR's Side B?

I think Endless River is going to grow on me. As with a lot of instrumental music it takes time to get into it. I almost wish they'd just released it as one track to avoid the slight gaps when it changes track.

[QUOTE=POTA]
I've already listened to The Endless River from start to finish more times than half the albums in their catalog. I think that's saying something. It has enormous replay value.

2. Dogs

As in "Animals"?

While many of you may have heard about this before, some probably haven't.  This is a real commercial from 73-74.  Presumably the band must have OK'd it?

LOL

Yeah, I love "Remember a Day" too. Besides that one, I guess my other favourite Rick songs would be "The Great Gig in the Sky" and "Us and Them".

Interesting, thanks Dean.  I think I like it more than you, I could get TER as high as 10 or 11 possibly.

In a CZ thread I remarked that The Endless River ranks at 15th in my chart of Pink Floyd studio albums, so the answer to your question is nowhere. Jim asked to see those rankings so here it is

1. Meddle
2. Dark Side of the Moon
3. Animals
4. Ummagumma
5. Atom Heart Mother
6. Wish You Were Here
7. The soundtrack to More
8. The Division Bell
9. Saucerful of Secrets
10. The Wall
11. Obscured By Clouds
12. Piper At the Gates of Dawn
13. A Momentary Lapse of Reason
14. The Final Cut
15. The Endless River

(note 1: this list is subject change on a whim and TER could feasibly rise above TFC if the wind is in the right direction).

(note 2: on any other forum except this one I would also add that there is a tree full of secrets that could occupy positions 16-34, but as this is this forum please disregard this comment)
What?

They are all very neat tracks. See-Saw too.
Remember A Day is pure GOLD.

Remember the end of the 60s the music got pretty weird.  It's almost as if they were trying to out-weird each other - Mason and Wright's solo pieces from Ummagumma were pretty out there too!  I know Waters always had a thing about the Scottish accent.  When they were recording Atom Heart Mother Ron Geesin (a Scotsman) was doing the brass arrangements and apparently Waters would really piss him off by talking in a Scots accent throughout the sessions.
