    OBC is such an underrated gem.

    I think overlooked works for me better. In my personal rankings it would still sit behind anything else from the Meddle-The Wall run. It's sorta like Animals in a way. I know alot of people that are pretty big Floyd fans and some of them hadn't really even heard of Animals or Obscured....Once they both got their fair shake they soon found their place among the other great albums these guys put out. They just don't get the hoopla that DSotM, WYWH, and The Wall get.


    It kinda got the shaft because of what it is and when it came out. Everyone thinks Meddle was the album before Dark Side, and in a way it is because it is the last true band-based studio album from them before Dark Side. OBS is a movie soundtrack and was approached as such (themes, style, sound). It sort of snuck in there with little fanfare.

    Is there a book/article written about the writing/recording process of Animals? It's an interesting album, and I'm sure the writing process/recording was just as interesting, considering its place in between Wish You Were Here and The Wall.

    There is no better way to express my love and admiration for Pink Floyd than to say they are second on my list of favorite bands right behind, well, take a guess.

    It is obvious that Dark Side, WYWH, and The Wall get all the attention, and deservedly so, but some of their other albums are amazing and unique in their own way. Obscured by Clouds, for me, is one of them, as is Meddle.

    Anyone share my sentiments?

    meddle is by far my favorite floyd album. obscured by clouds is great, i LOVE childhood's end!
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    In college, if I had the privilege of having a lady friend in my room/apt, and if we were enjoying some "green," I would frequently insist on listening to Meddle. Conventional wisdom would say Al Green or Craig Mack or Seal, but I chose Meddle.
    Needless to say, Echoes was always interesting. Who the f*#k wants to be conventional anyway?

    Sounds conventional to me. You should be back to listening sometime during the 1st verse.

    IMO the best PF Album has to be Animals, it has some of David Gilmours best guitar work on it (Dogs) and whilst i love DSOTM and WYWH i think animals is the true last of the Pink Floyd sound. Recently i got myself a copy of Les Claypools Frog Brigade cover of the whole Animals album, and note for note its a perfect copy. Plus the solo from Dogs was the first solo i ever learnt to play.
    Brixton '93
    Wembley '96
    Manchester '00
    Manchester x 2 '12

    The waiting drove me mad.

    What he said. My favourite Floyd album by quite a long way, and Pigs on the Wing (pt1) was the first Floyd song I could play!
