My brother died back on May 9th (2022) while he lay in the hospital dying, myself on the other side of the country, I told my mom to do one thing for him. Play Pink Floyd Animals. Love you brother. Miss you.
Yup. Back in the day, my friends and I listened to all the albums, straight through, over and over again... except for this one. Annnnd the delicate sound of thunder. Listening back to this album, I just don't understand why we didn't dig through it more deeply.

That is the first piece of music I started playing to my firstborn. Since early days at home. It calmed him down at let him fell asleep. Now he’s 4yo and Animals let him fell asleep when NOTHING WORKS 😂I will make sure Pink Floyd’s music is in his live till the end of my days. Love you Son.
This album came out when I was 17. One of my favorite albums. 2.5 years ago I had open heart surgery. I woke up the next morning after surgery. I was scared, in pain and had this weird feeling of current running through my body. One lung 40% collapsed and right lung at 60%. This was during covid and no visitors and limited nurse visits. I opened up my ipad and played this album through ear buds very low. It brought down my anxiety and made me less concentrated on pain. When I hear these songs now I don't go back into the past and think about 17 anymore but laying in the hospital. Not that bad though as I learned to sleep and relax. Not worried about work, bills, yardwork. I earned a couple months of sleep, music listening, watching movies again which I had lost that desire that I used to love. I'm listening as I type this and feeling mellow.
i have done this same thing, this album came at a time in life that just made sense, and the lyrics spoke to me like an old friend and concerned guardian
My future wife and I hitch hiked from Toronto to Montreal with a friend in the late spring/early summer of 1977 to see them perform this album at the Olympic Stadium. Followed it up by playing Wish You Were Here album and encored one side of Dark Side Of The Moon. Amazing show, we became lifelong fans. Most couples have a favourite song, we had a band’s repertoire. This album was the last bit of music she listened to before cancer took her from me and it’s hard to listen to without being overcome with emotion. But it’s great music and I don’t mind tearing up a little every time I give Pink Floyd a listen.
This is one of, if not the, best album of all time. You get yourself a good set of headphones and sit silently and listen to it and you're not going to shut it off. It's a piece of artwork.
My dad introduced me to this when I was like a lil girl. Now I'm 41 and he passed away on May 25th 2023. I can see my dad sitting there with me and we are listening to this. While he's drinking a beer.😢 Thank you dad for introducing me to your era of music. I still got yr ashes...but it's just not real still. Like yr gone. Ill keep listening to the music you did listen to.
That’s such a honor to your dad. I did the same thing with my kids. I’m 63 there about your age. My son passed away a few years back, and he was the one that listened to all the music that I listen to. Your dad must’ve been a really cool person. This album is one of their best for sure.
Yesterday was my high school English exam, the teacher allowed us to listen to music while we did it. So I put on The Dark Side Of The Moon on repeat on my phone and did the exam. The next day, I found out I passed with a 100% without making a single mistake. Pink Floyd, I listened to your music whilst I studied and with thanks to you, I am graduating next week. I was afraid that I was going to fail and I was quite nervous, but thankfully you guys gave me the power and the determination to finish strong. Music powers the world, and it certainly powered me. And now I am going to accomplish great things in college. Thank you for getting all of us this far, Pink Floyd until the end of time!
This album should be revisited every time you realize you’ve reached that next phase of life. The meaning will change and evolve just as your life and the world around you does. That’s what makes this one of the very best music arrangements in the history of all music, let alone art as a whole. Keep growing, but never forget to revisit this album every-once in a while to discover more truth that your younger self simply couldn’t understand.
You're so spot on with this. This just got me in a long conversation with my husband about the power of music and how it can trigger a memory you didn't even know you had! When Pigs (three different ones) came on I was instantly taken back to when I first heard it, 20 years ago, I remembered the car I was in , who I was with and how free I felt in that moment. Amazing stuff 😊
It's been my go to favorite since it's release. It gives me a pick me up when I'm down in the dumps or when I realize I need a good jolt about Trash in Washington
Naw, I wish that was true. That would mean we still had great new music coming out. There hasn't been anything like this since... well... this. This is visceral. Organic. Real. Art.
Pareil...en 1978 j'avais 16 et cet album est toujours mon préféré de Pink Floyd.....surtout quand on sait qu'ils se sont inspirés de "la ferme des animaux" de Orwell.
For me the song that hits me the most is Dogs. Especially the lines "it's gonna get harder as you get older" "just another sad old man, all alone dying of cancer" and "I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used"
Im at the clinic recieving chemotherapy for leukemia right now listening to pink floyd. Couldnt be happier. Hey guys, thanks for all the well wishes. A blessing on you and your loved ones!!!
It is my sincere hope that 500 or even 1000 years from now and beyond that people are still listening to and appreciating the music and the genius that is Pink Floyd.
Madison Square Garden 1977. I was 17 years old coming into NYC from NJ. Buses, subway, walking the GW bridge. Pink Floyd at it's pinnacle. What a night. Wow. In my memory bank forever
I was at that July 4th. Show sitting in the red lodge seats. There were so many fireworks coming down from the upper seats that it seemed like the entire place would explode. The band, the visuals and the crowd were all torqued up. Great performance to remember and I’m 65 now.
Here we are. It's 2021. This album is 44 years old. It's more relevant than ever. Meek and obedient you follow the leader down well-trodden corridors into the valley of steel
I tripped on mushrooms listening to this album and I honestly think of the world a different way because of what he says and its all true. It's sad that humanity is this
They will. We may not have big band and early blues on our playlists, but anyone who appreciates good music is listening to songs recorded over 50 years ago in most cases. Music from the 1920’s for instance, if they’d been more widespread as far as recording, would be more popular. So basically, the stuff from the 1970’s will live pretty much forever.
Already has happened, and I graduated from high school in 2012. Actually, we listened to a lot of this stuff in history and English class too. Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, CSNY, etc. I had cool teachers.
Same here. It's been my favorite Floyd album since it came out. My friends still had hard-ons for Dark Side (which is great) but this is it for me. Never get tired of this album.
might. might be, might be the asbolute best. one can say so after listening to their music for a lifetime. which i found me happen to be. so. you might be right, i say.
@@Miguel-yx9zg however it speaks to "the kids" ( teenagers) that a great portion of whom dont care for the lyrics and meaning, and purely listen for the sonic awesomeness.Truly timeless.
Great album, great music and great lyrics. I can never play just one song. I have to listen to the entire album. Also it reminds me of Animal Farm. I can still see " all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others". And it is still a fact.
This album teleports me back to old times. I can visualise my physics classroom, philosophical debates, talks about the mountains... Definitely nostalgic.
Я из России. Люблю Pink Floyd. Я из Russia Moscow. Почти 50 лет наслаждаюсь их творчеством. Это гениально. Это не как быть бараном - а как не быть бараном.
Lol underrated in what way? It's generally agreed upon that this album is part of there stretch of classic albums. But if you mean compared to Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall than I suppose, as this album is probably the least talked about out of the bunch.
I am a Sabbath fan since 71. Genesis since 76 Tull since 77 Priest since 78 Saxon since 80. Pink Floyd have made astonishing albums, but Animals is for me the greatest of them. Better than Dark side of the moon. The wall. Etc. It is eerie, magical and wonderful. Outside of my top five, Floyd are definitely my favourite by far amongst all the rest.
I have been listening to Pink Floyd for over 40 years, cant tell you how much there music has influenced me and changed my life for the better. These guys were way ahead of the times from when they began. Sid Barrett was way ahead of his time and was a masterful song writer which shaped Pink Floyd and made them what they became. Sid Barrett and Pink Floyd will live on forever.
Not only were all four members of Pink Floyd phenomenal musicians and songwriters, they were fortunate enough to have some great engineering and production folks to assist them in delivering music that will never die. I cannot recall just how many times I spent in my bedroom with my headphones on just blissfully absorbed by Animals. Didn’t need shrooms or acid to trip to this masterpiece.
They proved that a band without virtuoso musicians but great composers and simply great artists are millions times better than the ones who play a thousand notes a minute !!!
My husband introduced this album to me when I was 15. 1979. My husband has sinced passed 😪 I will love him tiil the day that I die. And I will love the floyd till the day I die. Even with David Gilmour.
One of the best gigs I ever saw, was Pink Floyd doing “Animals” and “Wish You Were Here” in their entirety, at Stafford in 1977! That blew my 17 year old mind, that did!!
@@chrisross8372 Jeez! I’ve eaten my body weight in acid, psilocybin, mescaline, DMT and E’s since the 70’s! Never had any at the Floyd gig, I’d eaten all the mushrooms and trips I had at Black Sabbath in Glasgow a fortnight earlier!!
What makes Pink Floyd so amazing is that you cannot name one album that is their finest achievement. I keep switching among Dark Side of the Moon, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and Animals.
For me, it's Wish You Were Here but I see what you are saying. I would not be able to survive for too long with out DOTM or The Wall, and even this one! I love Pigs, its main melody is unbeatable.
@@seb.8707 It's funny you say that because I used to listen to The Division Bell in grad school in the mid-late 90s while I was studying in my room. It is definitely chill and calming.
This came out four years before I was born and I’ve always loved it. My generation, 1990’s teenagers, loved Pink Floyd. Can’t speak for the Gen Z kids, but there’s no doubt Floyd will be big with most generations to come long after all us are long gone. Basically the 1970’s was the peak for every single genre in modern music.
When my family were to take a vacation to Disneyland from our home in Medford Oregon we all were told we could bring one 8 track to listen to in turn. My dad took Neil Diamond, Mom took the soundtrack to American Graffiti, my brother took The Osmonds brothers 😒 my little sister didnt own an 8 track lol...I in the 6th grade PINK FLOYD ANIMALS and they just didn't get it... but I did and now at 59 years old still rock it ALL the time. Total top 10 classic and so profound that I can't do it justice with my own words. Just an unreal masterpiece of music!
OMG, since I first heard it in 1977, and the 1000 times that I’ve cranked it since, this album is a 5-star, 5-hour credit, graduate level course in Dark Contemporary Sociology. And Contemporary Political Science. It was beautifully relevant then, and even more so now. They knew where we were headed.
@@haileypaxton1606 keep discovering Hailey. Pink Floyd's music is very deep. Take your time, explore all their music, you won't be disappointed. I'm 52, heard this for the first time when I was 7. As time goes on, it takes on different meanings. Floyd, like all other music, is a snapshot of a period in your life. Enjoy the journey!
The "dogs" aren't police. They're businessmen (not at the top). Think of the phrase "dog eat dog world". In "Pigs (3 Different Ones), the first pigs are the capitalists at the top. The second "pig" is Margaret Thatcher and the conservative politicians in the UK. The third "pig" was school teacher / conservative activist Mary Whitehouse. The "sheep" aren't people in general but the conservative religiously devout but who really are passive instead of active Christians. They do not really submit to God but to their "pig" leaders.... until they realize what has happened to them which leads to revolution.
I had similar feelings as well. To me, It's come to resemble more and more, of what we know of those in the illuminati/secret societies, and how the pigs think of us people, as "sheeple", and the dogs are those they control in between. I always thought it was interesting how they chose only those 3 animals to write about in their songs. I always wondered why they chose them, but not anymore. Especially from the lyrics.
Gotta give Atom Heart Mother a try with headphones or great stereo. Not saying either is better, but, IMO it's close. Piper at the gates of dawn is not to be overlooked either.
It is amazing just how many elders still listen to this. I'm 18 and listened to pink floyd a month ago for the first time (no, it's not a joke), and I love it. These songs go beyond generations
I am 66 and have been resonating with Pink Floyd since I was 16 after I heard One Of These Days on the radio. I bought the Meddle album the next day on my way home from work. Fifty freaking years later and my mind is still blown every time I hear them.
Anyone who knows this album as well as I do- knows every sound of every song- every drum beat and every note of every solo- but is still thrilled to hear them every time we hear them. A true underrated masterpiece from start to finish and just a pure joy to experience.
My main motivation for listening to this album was that part in “Sheep” where the guitar becomes more bright and upbeat, and I loved it. This was an amazing album
I bought Pink floyd's 'Animals' when it came out with my birthday money. Was not that taken by it then. I was probably too young to take onboard what they had to say. But now I can't get enough of it. I still have my original from when I was a kid and keep on playing it. Just shows me the state of things in this ever despicable capatalist froudulent world that has been created so successfully to strip us of everything we have ever worked for or tried to achieve in out lives. Right, I'm off now back to the ward to take my night meds so I don't have to worry anymore...
Note that is the album cover picture above of a beloved record: I traveled to England in High school days from NJ in the late 70's with our school band. My best friend and I flat adored this album and talked about it literally daily. On the very first afternoon there w our host families my friend somehow tracked down my hosts phone number (How??) and called me and we VERY VERY spontaneously grabbed a train to London to try to catch Bob Marley in concert. This was an insanely wild idea. I was almost NEVER spontaneous. EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! NOTE: The train happened to run the same path from which the album cover picture was shot (we had NO IDEA). Incredibly, we came around the bend at EXACTLY the same time of day, same beautiful sky, same angle and I tell you we went out of our minds with astonishment and amazement I swear it seemed like God reached down to us to have this experience-I'm not kidding. It was two hippy American teenagers jumping around in ecstasy on a commuter train surrounded by frumpy 50 year old female commuters staring in utter confusion at how we could be laughing hysterically while pointing at the Batter Sea power station! They had looked at that monstrosity every day of their lives! I know what it is to feel joy and sometimes it comes from taking risks your friends encourage you to take! I Love you Pam! I really do! BTW- Bob Marley was sold out so we drank beer with hilarious English guys in a pub in London, then somehow got fish and chips (also utter ecstasy!) in the suburbs at midnight then got home and slept a deep sleep of satisfaction in our totally OK English hosts beds. Bless you! Our English hosts-you made this possible! I adore you.
it's better if you put the video to the end and then play it again without removing the video and automatically all the ads will disappear (in case there are ads).
Thank God for an older brother and an awesome Dad who were always on the cusp of great music...I grew up listening to phenomenal music because of them ... I was always out of sync with kids my age..because I had been exposed to unbelievable music thanks to my big brother and Dad...thank you! And to this day some sadly do not get it....
This is maybe my favorite Pink Floyd album. It’s such an odyssey, so experimental yet pleasing. So many incredible melodies that come as a complete surprise. Definitely their most underrated album.
Well, my pet hate is guitar solos that fade at the end of a song. It makes me want to know what the guitarist would do next. Pigs has a solo fade out, so this album is flawed IMO.
De rodillas,sin sombrero o de pie y cara al cielo hoy 6 de enero,reyes magos 4.45 a.m. con mis 46 años y por sobre todo nacido el 28 de abril de 1977 fecha trascendental de esta obra recuerdo ese hermoso dia en el que fui a visitar mi tia mimi y su esposo HECTOR GAUNA un ser divino de pocas palabras y todo accion,lucido,habil e instruido me hizo escuchar en una bandeja C.D. este disco eran fines de los ochenta apenas tenia 11 años.ESE DIA,ESE DIA MARCO MI VIDA PARA SIEMPRE.GRACIAS DIOS,GRACIAS PINK FLOYD.
My absolute favorite Floyd album of the entire catalog. Rick Wright's keyboard contributions on this album is just outstanding, Nick's groove holds the entire thing together, not to forget about David Gilmour's phenomenal guitar and bass playing on not just Dogs and Pigs 3 diff ones, but the entire album. I was not born in the 20th century, but I am sure glad my dad showed me this music. I'm reading Animal Farm currently, and now I'm beginning to understand this album.
Interpret any way you like. I ignore Rogers wacky lefty politics but animals is on point, greedy destructive big business, corrupted politicians and the sheep who follow along
Who was born in a house full of pain, Who was fitted with collar, and chain, who was only a stranger at home, who was found dead on the phone, who was dragged down by the stone, just another sad old man, all alone, and dying of cancer. Sums my shit life up pretty well. Thank God for The FLOYD!
In the late 90s I worked on New Covent Garden Market so every morning I would walk past Battersea Power Station and I could not help myself in saying out loudly "Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are" .
@@noahmay7708 administration in quotes (i.e. Trump's administration wasn't a true admin.? , that's usually what the quotes mean - duh) , White House referred to as a charade (i.e. a farcical attempt to run the country and office of the presidency like a CHARADE) - So, where was I putting "words in people's mouths" ????? Maybe you just can't fucking comprehend what you read....???? What are you, 22....... 18 ...??? I'm guessing young and really haven't much life experience , on top of a nice helping of propaganda that the last generation has been raised to believe in . No? FFS, even Roger Waters is fucking clueless as to the workings of global elitism and it's full reach into avg. , normal everyday people's lives - he, and the rest of the band (what's left) haven't known what it's like to exist , WORKING for money to get by for 40+ years.
Definitely underrated, this is the first time I'm hearing it. How the hell could a gem like this be hidden from me for so long. I've been around 1 year longer than this album. Am I listening to all the wrong radio stations?
😅. Exactly the same as me. I am now 62 and been listening to masterpiece since 16. Along with every single album of theirs. And Roger's Amused to Death is another masterpiece that I can't do without.
The guitar chord series at the end of Dogs still makes the hair on my arms stand up. This is a brilliant album. The lyrics are insightful and powerful and the music fantastic. An all-time favorite.
If you're like me, this (& all of Pink Floyd's) albums don't *require* you to be stoned to understand & appreciate their value. The lyrics combined with the music ~ the collaboration is so astonishing it makes you re-evaluate its meanings throughout the years/ decades.
I have about 5-6 albums that i have fallen in love with by pink floyd. Mood drives the favourite from day to day🙌 i can choose a winner one day....the next im swinging for one of the others. Although this album i fell instantly for i must admit. The prog rock gods have produced some truly epic albums...lyrically and musically.
This album was my awakening that explained how our governments were/are not for us, but to enrich themselves. I was 18 snd horrified. That was 40 years ago and its only gotten worse.
It’s hard to estimate how many times I’ve listened to this album…it doesn’t really matter but I bought the vinyl in 1977…I was 15 and here it is 01/31/2022 and it’s as fresh as the first time I listened❤️
@@paulbourgeois5600 the best, picking worms at 0400hrs, fishing by 0445hrs. Seeing Toronto wake up at 0530hrs. The best years, we didn't have to deal with Sgt Dickhead of HR. We did as we wanted. I so want to be 14 again
My brother died back on May 9th (2022) while he lay in the hospital dying, myself on the other side of the country, I told my mom to do one thing for him. Play Pink Floyd Animals. Love you brother. Miss you.
Wow you've just brought tears to my eyes, god bless ya..
So sorry for your loss. God bless him. 🙏
Sorry to hear that, I'm pleased you have his music in your heart
So sorry for your loss!!!
GOOD ON YOU GOOD BROTHER, GOOD ON YOU.
This is Pink Floyd’s most underrated album. From start to finish, this is a masterpiece
Yup. Back in the day, my friends and I listened to all the albums, straight through, over and over again... except for this one.
Annnnd the delicate sound of thunder.
Listening back to this album, I just don't understand why we didn't dig through it more deeply.
Animals fans on their way to explain how 30 minutes of 1984 Venezuela iPhone 10,000,000 dead is overrated
oh
jackass
underrated ???
The best Pink Floyd album completely depends on the mood you are in at the time. Each one brings you through your mind in different ways.
In a sense that is true but in another sense this is hands down the best album. At least I can say it's my favourite. No one can dispute that.
Amen to that!!!! but no matter the mood it would be Pink Floyd!!!
Mon album préfèré ❤
The beginning of performance art...with something to say... seamless in its message

This album came out when I was 17. One of my favorite albums. 2.5 years ago I had open heart surgery. I woke up the next morning after surgery. I was scared, in pain and had this weird feeling of current running through my body. One lung 40% collapsed and right lung at 60%. This was during covid and no visitors and limited nurse visits. I opened up my ipad and played this album through ear buds very low. It brought down my anxiety and made me less concentrated on pain. When I hear these songs now I don't go back into the past and think about 17 anymore but laying in the hospital. Not that bad though as I learned to sleep and relax. Not worried about work, bills, yardwork. I earned a couple months of sleep, music listening, watching movies again which I had lost that desire that I used to love.

Glad it got you through Bro. My fave Pink Floyd. So many tales to tell about this album.
What a good story of your life, greetings from Bogotá, Colombia.

Still alive is the best

That must've been one hell of a gig.
She's still with you then
Every time you hear this, i'm sure she's beside your heart. So enjoy those sacred moments. She will be happy anyway.
grief is the price we pay for having known love. what a joy your life with her myst’ve been. you were blessed.
The depth of grief is the only true measure of love. You loved hard, long, and true. If you need to scream into the void then do it. You LOVED!
Anyone who thinks this is the best album ever made by any band period - I'm pretty sure we could be friends.
It's up there. And I have no argument against it not being.
Haha not a thumbs down anywhere 👍

@@FuzzBucket69 je pense qu'il s'en doute bien. Il s'agirait de décrire la place qu'a ce groupe dans sa vie et dans son coeur..
This album should be revisited every time you realize you’ve reached that next phase of life. The meaning will change and evolve just as your life and the world around you does. That’s what makes this one of the very best music arrangements in the history of all music, let alone art as a whole.
Keep growing, but never forget to revisit this album every-once in a while to discover more truth that your younger self simply couldn’t understand.
Soooo true !!!
So much yes! ❤
Thanks that’s so true x
You're so spot on with this. This just got me in a long conversation with my husband about the power of music and how it can trigger a memory you didn't even know you had! When Pigs (three different ones) came on I was instantly taken back to when I first heard it, 20 years ago, I remembered the car I was in , who I was with and how free I felt in that moment. Amazing stuff 😊
My man revisiting it as I type
40 years have come and gone
This album is 45 year old today and still an absolute banger.
Wow! I appreciate (and understand) it better today than when it came out. As a kid, I liked the music. As an adult, I've lived the lyrics.
It’s ssiiiiick
It's been my go to favorite since it's release. It gives me a pick me up when I'm down in the dumps or when I realize I need a good jolt about Trash in Washington
Enjoying it the same way right now I did 30 years ago 😜
Naw, I wish that was true. That would mean we still had great new music coming out. There hasn't been anything like this since... well... this. This is visceral. Organic. Real. Art.
My mom played this growing up🤘. Such jams and I miss her so much!! 🌹RIP Mommy🌹
Kickass mum you were lucky to enjoy, RIP
Ohhhh, God bless you!
J'avais 18 ans quand j'ai écouté cet album maintenant j'en ai 63 et c'est toujours un grand plaisir de l'ecouter
C'est formidable - et vous aussi !
pareil en tous points ! ! !
Én 16, és imàdom!
Pareil...en 1978 j'avais 16 et cet album est toujours mon préféré de Pink Floyd.....surtout quand on sait qu'ils se sont inspirés de "la ferme des animaux" de Orwell.
For me the song that hits me the most is Dogs.
Especially the lines "it's gonna get harder as you get older" "just another sad old man, all alone dying of cancer" and "I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used"
Dogs is my favorite too!! I play it when I'm sad like now (my dog died) it helps me to really get that cry out. I know its weird but...that's me!
Agree 100% - they simply hit home -
That song is THE SHIT. The hook is the most beautiful composition I have ever heard.
Without a doubt, my favorite Floyd LP. If I could only have 10 LPs in my collection, this is one of them.
You are right my friend!!And for me as well..love all of their work but this album is very special for me.. greetings from Greece
Hard to choose best Pink Floyd's best album but I'll say this is one of favorite ones. What an Awesome band!!!
Im at the clinic recieving chemotherapy for leukemia right now listening to pink floyd. Couldnt be happier.

It is my sincere hope that 500 or even 1000 years from now and beyond that people are still listening to and appreciating the music and the genius that is Pink Floyd.
If they don't are they really that advanced, I imagine what will be and would could have been
@@bryceharrison4917 what
Madison Square Garden 1977. I was 17 years old coming into NYC from NJ. Buses, subway, walking the GW bridge. Pink Floyd at it's pinnacle. What a night. Wow. In my memory bank forever
I was at that July 4th. Show sitting in the red lodge seats. There were so many fireworks coming down from the upper seats that it seemed like the entire place would explode. The band, the visuals and the crowd were all torqued up.
Great performance to remember and I’m 65 now.
Here we are. It's 2021. This album is 44 years old. It's more relevant than ever. Meek and obedient you follow the leader down well-trodden corridors into the valley of steel

@@carlneoh5843 the most accurate statement here
Was my friend’s favorite album of Pink Floyd, and she died of cancer. It will never fail at bringing her back to me every play-through.
multiple people in their comments talk about people close to them who like this album who then died from cancer.
Music is like that
I tripped on mushrooms listening to this album and I honestly think of the world a different way because of what he says and its all true. It's sad that humanity is this
Someday, maybe, our great grandchildren will listen to this in music class. Cheers to that generation. 🥃
They will. We may not have big band and early blues on our playlists, but anyone who appreciates good music is listening to songs recorded over 50 years ago in most cases. Music from the 1920’s for instance, if they’d been more widespread as far as recording, would be more popular. So basically, the stuff from the 1970’s will live pretty much forever.
Already has happened, and I graduated from high school in 2012. Actually, we listened to a lot of this stuff in history and English class too. Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, CSNY, etc. I had cool teachers.
People will be talking about Pink Floyd in a 100 years like they talk about Mozart and Beethoven etc in this day .
I'm in high school and I'm listening to this. Wish you were here is my favorite, but I really like this one too, the guitar on "Dogs" is magical.
high school music class, probably heard this album 80+ times for analysis projects
My favorite Pink Floyd album. The only one of their great albums that I never get tired of listening to. Musicianship is phenomenal.
this one and Meedle ! 🙂
My favorite too. Unappreciated masterpiece
Same here. It's been my favorite Floyd album since it came out. My friends still had hard-ons for Dark Side (which is great) but this is it for me. Never get tired of this album.
might. might be, might be the asbolute best. one can say so after listening to their music for a lifetime. which i found me happen to be. so. you might be right, i say.
Definitely one of my favorite Floyd albums.
12 años tenía y ya oía esas rolas, hoy qué tengo 59 años las oigo nuevamente y vuelvo a sentirme de 12. Como pasó el tiempo!!!!
This is the best album of pink Floyd by far! I could listen day or night no matter my mood!!
One of the best albums ever made. Timeless
It's so good to find people who still enjoys this masterpiece in these strange times. This is a marvelous album indeed! :)
Very relevant now…
@@Miguel-yx9zg however it speaks to "the kids" ( teenagers) that a great portion of whom dont care for the lyrics and meaning, and purely listen for the sonic awesomeness.Truly timeless.
@@danksideoftheballoon9887 mega facts
This is my 'desert island' album. I wish it was longer.
"And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around" Music and lyrics are genius.
Or how about " Just another sad old man , all alone dying of cancer" - always gets me ......
Great album, great music and great lyrics.
I can never play just one song. I have to listen to the entire album.
Also it reminds me of Animal Farm. I can still see " all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others". And it is still a fact.
Makes a lot of sense seeing as pink admitted to taking inspiration from it.
@@ozthecapybara9182bro the entire album is based off animal farm 💀
This album teleports me back to old times. I can visualise my physics classroom, philosophical debates, talks about the mountains... Definitely nostalgic.
Я из России. Люблю Pink Floyd. Я из Russia Moscow. Почти 50 лет наслаждаюсь их творчеством. Это гениально. Это не как быть бараном - а как не быть бараном.

This album is so underrated. As a Pink Floyd fan of over 40 years, I still feel this is one of their greatest albums!
Totally agree! it's my favorite Pink Floyd album. I value it even higher then Dark Side, The Wall or Wish you were here.
Keith...underrated....WHAT? THIS IS A MASTERPIECE
Lol underrated in what way? It's generally agreed upon that this album is part of there stretch of classic albums. But if you mean compared to Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall than I suppose, as this album is probably the least talked about out of the bunch.
@@bernacasa8677 “Underrated” by the talking heads but every hard core Pink Floyd fan knows this is one of their best.
The sound on the middle sequence in Dogs [ with the distant barking etc ] is so atmospheric is it not?
Literally my favourite album in earth, dont care what decade it is
you get it
Man, 45 years later this is still flawless
I am a Sabbath fan since 71. Genesis since 76 Tull since 77 Priest
since 78 Saxon since 80.
Pink Floyd have made astonishing albums, but Animals is for me the greatest of them. Better than Dark side of the moon. The wall. Etc.
It is eerie, magical and wonderful.
Outside of my top five, Floyd are definitely my favourite by far amongst all the rest.

You're absolutely right as Robert said in 60 minutes with Australian reporters; this was a movement of post second war youth.

I have been listening to Pink Floyd for over 40 years, cant tell you how much there music has influenced me and changed my life for the better. These guys were way ahead of the times from when they began. Sid Barrett was way ahead of his time and was a masterful song writer which shaped Pink Floyd and made them what they became. Sid Barrett and Pink Floyd will live on forever.
Not only were all four members of Pink Floyd phenomenal musicians and songwriters, they were fortunate enough to have some great engineering and production folks to assist them in delivering music that will never die. I cannot recall just how many times I spent in my bedroom with my headphones on just blissfully absorbed by Animals. Didn’t need shrooms or acid to trip to this masterpiece.
I hear ya 🤘
They proved that a band without virtuoso musicians but great composers and simply great artists are millions times better than the ones who play a thousand notes a minute !!!

My husband introduced this album to me when I was 15. 1979. My husband has sinced passed 😪 I will love him tiil the day that I die. And I will love the floyd till the day I die. Even with David Gilmour.
Love Gilmour! But R. Waters wrote all the songs! Pink Floyd is RW's band IMHO! David just an excellent guitar player! damn good one!
They are both vital Lennon and McCartney style.
Legendary album My favorite Pink Floyd album. Animals

Cause It s immortal, Pink Floyd for eternity 😊
One of the best gigs I ever saw, was Pink Floyd doing “Animals” and “Wish You Were Here” in their entirety, at Stafford in 1977! That blew my 17 year old mind, that did!!
Lucky :(
You do acid

I was two nights at Wembley in 77. awesome
@@terrypussypower thats us Scots for ya bro
Pink Floyd’s best album ever👍👍💗💗
What makes Pink Floyd so amazing is that you cannot name one album that is their finest achievement. I keep switching among Dark Side of the Moon, Meddle, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and Animals.
Meddle is an absolute masterpiece, though as long as its PF I'll have a good day!
For me, it's Wish You Were Here but I see what you are saying. I would not be able to survive for too long with out DOTM or The Wall, and even this one! I love Pigs, its main melody is unbeatable.
Exactly. They have an entire catalogue of gold!
I really like how chill and calming the division bell is, even though I wouldnt call it the best
@@seb.8707 It's funny you say that because I used to listen to The Division Bell in grad school in the mid-late 90s while I was studying in my room. It is definitely chill and calming.
My first Floyd album.22 again. Peace and love to all my brothers and sisters listening 😁✌️
I was 10 when my father used to play this album at max volume on christmas
I really like the memories, my old man had some good tastes
Really interesting!! I think I'd really like that! Too What a way to make Christmas extra special!!
That's cool. My Dad and Mom had the Dark Side of the Moon 8-track! I bet they used to smoke! 😉😆
The same memories with my father :-)
Sounds sweet. My parents played disco lol
@@usandthemakakelly2535 Oh, you know they did. Trust me, they were/ are super cool.
The best album in 100 years❤
This album will always stand the test of time and still be on the top of the list when ever i get stressed and need to de compress this is my go to
I saw this concert at Milwaukee County Stadium June 1977. Owsley Orange microdot enhanced. I was 17. Epic!
This came out four years before I was born and I’ve always loved it. My generation, 1990’s teenagers, loved Pink Floyd. Can’t speak for the Gen Z kids, but there’s no doubt Floyd will be big with most generations to come long after all us are long gone. Basically the 1970’s was the peak for every single genre in modern music.
Wow......very nice. Saw ELO in '77. My gf and I were doing blotter and the Lazer effects were out of this world 🌎
This could have been released today and it _still_ would sound futuristic.
Yeah! I’m still amazed by this album, with every listening, after all these years. Their best album in my opinion. 🤭
Fuck yeahhhh.
@@Mark_72 I agree. My favorite!
Dark side of the moon is the greatest album in the world ever! ….. and it’s not even the best Floyd album .Let that marinate in your mind🤯

Same here our trips were out to Wisconsin from NY. Also a big Zep fan.....
Hell yeah brotha!
So true. Doesn’t really matter what Pink Floyd album you choose, it’ll be a masterpiece.
I recently found this 8 track in decent shape lol
We have popular music and then we have Pink Floyd…
OMG, since I first heard it in 1977, and the 1000 times that I’ve cranked it since, this album is a 5-star, 5-hour credit, graduate level course in Dark Contemporary Sociology. And Contemporary Political Science. It was beautifully relevant then, and even more so now. They knew where we were headed.
I am 21 and recently discovered Pink Floyd ❤️ it’s helped my life in many ways!
@@haileypaxton1606 keep discovering Hailey. Pink Floyd's music is very deep. Take your time, explore all their music, you won't be disappointed. I'm 52, heard this for the first time when I was 7. As time goes on, it takes on different meanings. Floyd, like all other music, is a snapshot of a period in your life. Enjoy the journey!
Sheep - the people
Dogs - the police
Pigs - the capitalists
one of the best albums ever made, i am loving Rodger Waters ♥
The "dogs" aren't police. They're businessmen (not at the top). Think of the phrase "dog eat dog world".
In "Pigs (3 Different Ones), the first pigs are the capitalists at the top. The second "pig" is Margaret Thatcher and the conservative politicians in the UK. The third "pig" was school teacher / conservative activist Mary Whitehouse.
The "sheep" aren't people in general but the conservative religiously devout but who really are passive instead of active Christians. They do not really submit to God but to their "pig" leaders.... until they realize what has happened to them which leads to revolution.
Truth.
свиньи- люди
I had similar feelings as well. To me, It's come to resemble more and more, of what we know of those in the illuminati/secret societies, and how the pigs think of us people, as "sheeple", and the dogs are those they control in between. I always thought it was interesting how they chose only those 3 animals to write about in their songs. I always wondered why they chose them, but not anymore. Especially from the lyrics.
Surely it’s the Pigs who are the filth ? Lol
Im 15 and pink Floyds is by far the best music I've heard my whole life and id say it'll stay that way forever
Listen to Phish
They are number 1 welcome to the club.
Aye! I'm 15 too waassup, pink has a special place in my heart bro. One of the greatest bands of all time, no doubt
Give RUSH a listen if ya' haven't yet. ie: 2112
Don't be afraid to seek other stuff. you're so young I'm jealous of all the band's you have yet to discover. Keep on keeping on, my dude.
If I had to put my money on it, I would say this is Floyd's top of the crop right here.
Gotta give Atom Heart Mother a try with headphones or great stereo. Not saying either is better, but, IMO it's close. Piper at the gates of dawn is not to be overlooked either.
@@johnnycampbell3422 Piper at the gates of dawn is absolutly slept on, Syd had such a strange vision
Definitely at the top but after Dark side of the moon
🙏🙏🙏
Pink Floyd dominated my teenage years and this was my favorite album! I think it’s their best!
I've listened to this band for nearly 40 years.. It's still my favourite.
I am 45 but listening this album for 46yrs.

From 71 - 80, Floyd made five, count em, five masterpieces. An output unequalled before or since.

Brilliant, perfect music.
It is amazing just how many elders still listen to this. I'm 18 and listened to pink floyd a month ago for the first time (no, it's not a joke), and I love it. These songs go beyond generations

I am 66 and have been resonating with Pink Floyd since I was 16 after I heard One Of These Days on the radio. I bought the Meddle album the next day on my way home from work. Fifty freaking years later and my mind is still blown every time I hear them.
Anyone who knows this album as well as I do- knows every sound of every song- every drum beat and every note of every solo- but is still thrilled to hear them every time we hear them. A true underrated masterpiece from start to finish and just a pure joy to experience.

@@thefrijole15 значит ты самый лучший в мире барабанщик? LOL!!!
Never Truer Words Spoken 💗
The entire album is my comfort blanket 😌
My main motivation for listening to this album was that part in “Sheep” where the guitar becomes more bright and upbeat, and I loved it. This was an amazing album
I believe the word is 'IS' a great album, not was, just my opinion.
I bought Pink floyd's 'Animals' when it came out with my birthday money. Was not that taken by it then. I was probably too young to take onboard what they had to say. But now I can't get enough of it. I still have my original from when I was a kid and keep on playing it. Just shows me the state of things in this ever despicable capatalist froudulent world that has been created so successfully to strip us of everything we have ever worked for or tried to achieve in out lives. Right, I'm off now back to the ward to take my night meds so I don't have to worry anymore...
Simply a masterpiece. No one has the balls to make art like this anymore.
It is my favorite Floyd album. Final Cut is great also. Roger Waters made some great solo stuff too.

A god damn fact, this
Or the brains. And the kids want the t shirts, but couldn't recite four lines of any song.
or the musical chops
Note that is the album cover picture above of a beloved record: I traveled to England in High school days from NJ in the late 70's with our school band. My best friend and I flat adored this album and talked about it literally daily. On the very first afternoon there w our host families my friend somehow tracked down my hosts phone number (How??) and called me and we VERY VERY spontaneously grabbed a train to London to try to catch Bob Marley in concert. This was an insanely wild idea. I was almost NEVER spontaneous. EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
NOTE: The train happened to run the same path from which the album cover picture was shot (we had NO IDEA). Incredibly, we came around the bend at EXACTLY the same time of day, same beautiful sky, same angle and I tell you we went out of our minds with astonishment and amazement I swear it seemed like God reached down to us to have this experience-I'm not kidding. It was two hippy American teenagers jumping around in ecstasy on a commuter train surrounded by frumpy 50 year old female commuters staring in utter confusion at how we could be laughing hysterically while pointing at the Batter Sea power station! They had looked at that monstrosity every day of their lives! I know what it is to feel joy and sometimes it comes from taking risks your friends encourage you to take!
I Love you Pam! I really do! BTW- Bob Marley was sold out so we drank beer with hilarious English guys in a pub in London, then somehow got fish and chips (also utter ecstasy!) in the suburbs at midnight then got home and slept a deep sleep of satisfaction in our totally OK English hosts beds. Bless you! Our English hosts-you made this possible! I adore you.
FANTASTIC story, hell yeah!
Thanks for sharing this Story.😊

This is maybe my favorite Pink Floyd album. It’s such an odyssey, so experimental yet pleasing. So many incredible melodies that come as a complete surprise.
Definitely their most underrated album.
discovered this album about 3 months ago - now in my favourites of all time
me too - i grew up on punk and discovered this recently, now my absolute favourite
The perfect example of a exemplary album. It's flawless and the solos flow like water. Perfection
Well, my pet hate is guitar solos that fade at the end of a song. It makes me want to know what the guitarist would do next. Pigs has a solo fade out, so this album is flawed IMO.
The question and answer stuff between David and Richard was, as always, sublime!
@@barmybee61 actually so true, I hate fade outs

My absolute favorite Floyd album of the entire catalog. Rick Wright's keyboard contributions on this album is just outstanding, Nick's groove holds the entire thing together, not to forget about David Gilmour's phenomenal guitar and bass playing on not just Dogs and Pigs 3 diff ones, but the entire album. I was not born in the 20th century, but I am sure glad my dad showed me this music. I'm reading Animal Farm currently, and now I'm beginning to understand this album.
@@jesse7328 very true, although I find some of Animals to be inspired by Animal Farm in some ways.
Interpret any way you like. I ignore Rogers wacky lefty politics but animals is on point, greedy destructive big business, corrupted politicians and the sheep who follow along
Well said, love love love it!!! So many great albums but this one just stands out to me!
Animals could easily be about brexit, the torys are the pigs, the police are the dogs and we are the sheep and we must rise up eventually
Nobody captivates an audience like floyd. Thats what this album is from beginning to end "captivating"...
Who was born in a house full of pain, Who was fitted with collar, and chain, who was only a stranger at home, who was found dead on the phone, who was dragged down by the stone, just another sad old man, all alone, and dying of cancer. Sums my shit life up pretty well. Thank God for The FLOYD!

I always catch flack when I say it's their best album, but...it's their best album. From beginning to end it is absolutely mesmerizing.
Esse álbum é simples fantástico, comecei a escutalo quando tinha 16 anos, hoje aos 62 anos viajo no som e escuto constantemente.
😅. Exactly the same as me. I am now 62 and been listening to masterpiece since 16. Along with every single album of theirs. And Roger's Amused to Death is another masterpiece that I can't do without.
The guitar chord series at the end of Dogs still makes the hair on my arms stand up. This is a brilliant album. The lyrics are insightful and powerful and the music fantastic. An all-time favorite.
If you're like me, this (& all of Pink Floyd's) albums don't *require* you to be stoned to understand & appreciate their value. The lyrics combined with the music ~ the collaboration is so astonishing it makes you re-evaluate its meanings throughout the years/ decades.
Classic album. One of if not the best of Floyd, but alas there are so many great Pink Floyd albums and songs how can anyone choose...
HOW CAN ANYONE CHOOSE!!!
Its my favorite PF album. Besides the debut album of course. Yes Im the weird one....😂
I have about 5-6 albums that i have fallen in love with by pink floyd. Mood drives the favourite from day to day🙌 i can choose a winner one day....the next im swinging for one of the others. Although this album i fell instantly for i must admit. The prog rock gods have produced some truly epic albums...lyrically and musically.
3 favourite Floyd albums; “Animals”, “Obscured By Clouds” and “Piper At The Gates Of Dawn”,
But “More”, “Meddle”, and “Wish You Were Here” also rule!
@@Dangmomma96 you. Read my fucking mind!
Its blues, its jazz, its symphony and progressive rock rolled into one. In a class by itself.
Is it possible it’s their best?
@@dtmcbride This is great, but The Wall is the true masterpiece
It's average...:+)
Also has lyrics that are relevant to our day
it can be. they can do this now. its up to dave. dave can do it
An absolutely legendary album. As expected by the greatest band ever, Pink Floyd. This, and most of their other albums are pure gold.
This album was my awakening that explained how our governments were/are not for us, but to enrich themselves. I was 18 snd horrified. That was 40 years ago and its only gotten worse.
damn...
It’s hard to estimate how many times I’ve listened to this album…it doesn’t really matter but I bought the vinyl in 1977…I was 15 and here it is 01/31/2022 and it’s as fresh as the first time I listened❤️
Weren't the '70s a great time to grow up as a kid!
Not only has it not aged a day, it also takes you back to another time. For me anyway.
the classical music of 20th century on the same range as mozart
❤️❤️
@@paulbourgeois5600 the best, picking worms at 0400hrs, fishing by 0445hrs. Seeing Toronto wake up at 0530hrs. The best years, we didn't have to deal with Sgt Dickhead of HR. We did as we wanted. I so want to be 14 again
One of my all time favorite albums. I just saw Roger last month in Atlanta. We had floor seats, man. Floor seats. It was an honor to experience that.
Wonderful
I saw Roger Waters in concert. Unforgettable.
Waters is finished for me many years ago
would love to see one
