Haven't heard all of their songs in all of their albums to judge that. Most of my favourites are from DSOTM though so go figure.

i hear a good few things do line up, but a lot of other things dont, its a huge coinsidence.. BUT Pink Floyd actually made echoes to match up with the end of 2001 a space oddesy on purpose.. because they were upset that they wernt asked to score it in the first place.

The Great Gig in the Sky sync is pretty awesome, though that's the only one I've seen. It's on Youtube somewhere. You should give it a try if only to kill time.

Mario i ask you to listen to animals one more time, even a couple.. set aside some time to listen to the songs . completely relaxed.. appreciate the songs.. it takes a while to get over needing songs with hooks or choruses, and looping riffs, but when i learned to appreciate real prog songs, Animals became my favorite cd.. at first i didnt like dogs or pigs at all. but i fell in love with sheep.. 2 more listens to dogs and i was in love.. it took me bout 4-5 listens to echoes for me to like it.. and when i did.. it became my 2nd favorite PF song next to dogs.. my #3 is Wish you were here ( all parts)

i also love the theme of animals, its based of animal farm by george orwell.. and in a nutshell dogs are business men that stab eachother in their back, only thinking about themselves trying to get up the corporate ladder.

pigs are CEO's or other high ranking people that dont give a crap about anything else, they are slimy beings, the lowest form of life on earth

And Sheep are followers, that dont think for themselves, they are lead to their death, and are afraid of the dogs.

DRAGGED... DOWN... BY.. THE STONE...

arghh.. i have to stop listening to sepultura now and bust out animals.. its been almost 6 months :P

Ill try nimatoad lol. But it doesnt even seem like prog to me. It seems like barebones drawn-out loops with sparse lyirics.

oh and its sopposed to sound barebones, thats the darkness of it.. i swear animals is one of the darkest albums ive ever heard, music critics bashed animals for being dark when it came out, because they were scared. ( like they bash metal for being dark) because it shows how F'ed up our social system is, and it talks about how we treat eachother.. and most importantly it says that most people are just sheep that dont think and just follow the "Dogs" anyways, even tho ive listened to soo much metal animals is still one of the darkest albums i know, not cuz of vocals, music or anything.. the lyrics.. and dark dosnt just mean evil or gorey.. the lyrics really give you a shiver down your spine.. because its REAL. i could go on about this album honestly.. its my #1 favorite of all time, and some people will be shocked to read that, cuz i'm always talking about Rust in Peace

The only Floyd albums I know are Saucerful of Secrets, Meddle, Dark Side, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall and Momentary Lapse of Reason. I would rank those as follows:

1. Wish You Were Here
2. Animals
3. Dark Side of the Moon
4. A Momentary Lapse of Reason
5. A Saucerful of Secrets

7. Meddle
8. The Wall

None of them are bad albums, mind you. ;)

I just got here, give me a break. :P

Anyway, I have a feeling I'm going to be the odd one out, as I actually prefer later Floyd to earlier Floyd:

1. The Wall

2. Dark Side of the Moon

3. The Division Bell

4. A Momentary Lapse of Reason

5. Wish You Were Here

Or now. Just came to the end. I enjoyed it. I don't profess to be a music critic but it got me interested. And I second nimotoad's claim on the lyrics: brilliant.

i never really felt the magic with post waters floyd.. its ok.. not bad but not meorable IMO.. i might give it another listen since i havnt listened to bell or lapse in like 2 years ..
but i'm not too big on pre meddle PF either.. piper sounds like a 5 year old wrote it, syd really was crazy.. i mean when i listen to bike i get shivers.. its like a horror movie .. it sounds more schizophrenic than sepultura's album schizophrenia itself...

anyways i like astronomie dominie, interstellar overdrive and the atom heard mother suite, then from meddle especially echoes and one of these days

have you heard Voivods astronomie domine Cover Gabu? is much better, sounds much more clear and production is great, here is alink

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hhP9ZGHTEQ

also if you havn't gotten the live echoes cd yet.. i can send it to you, its kinda hard to find.. pm me if interested.

Dont get me wrong either of you, the lyrics are great and Waters is just a great lyricist but I prefer more lively/catchier music over great lyrics.

the music work is godlike... idno i love longer songs, 2-3 minute radio friendly songs dont get time to branch out, looping riffs are ok but i love when bands go into long solo's and change time signatures often.. 6 minute + songs just own.. their is soo many different things that happen which make the experience all the better and the song soo much more memorable than a 3 minute song with the same 10 second riff looping with a chorus every 30 seconds.

i hear a good few things do line up, but a lot of other things dont, its a huge coinsidence.. BUT Pink Floyd actually made echoes to match up with the end of 2001 a space oddesy on purpose.. because they were upset that they wernt asked to score it in the first place.

Actually Rogers turned down the offer to do the music for 2001 a Space Oddessy.

Who is Rogers?

yup jethro tull beat metallica for the first best metal band grammy. the only thing that is even slighly close to metal that tull has done is that the opening riff to aqualung is pretty heavy.
