FPF and david gilmour.

Will they also be talking about Waters’ virulent anti-Semitism?

Oh wait, it’s “academia”, so they’ll probably be promoting it.

[WayneS]

Gilmour?

I think Roger Waters deserves the overwhelming majority of our scorn. he is, quite simply, a piece of human garbage.

Dogs in Music?
Hounds of Annwyn
Nothing strange about that

I used to like ‘Animals’ until I started paying attention to the lyrics.

Except for the very short acoustic guitar songs at the beginning and end of the album, the album is an attack on capitalism (Dogs), conservatives (Pigs) and encourages violence against capitalism (Sheep).

I’ve abandoned listening to almost every outspoken liberal d-bag in the music industry, but I can’t let go of Waters. I want to punch him in the face every time I see his picture, but still, there it is. I just can’t help myself.

[rktman]

LOL! Yup. Gilmour comes pretty close regardless of his guitar talent.

[Dr. Sivana]

Except for the very short acoustic guitar songs at the beginning and end of the album, the album is an attack on capitalism (Dogs), conservatives (Pigs) and encourages violence against capitalism (Sheep).

Sounds like he read Orwell upside down.

This is college education today.

[Boogieman]

I love “The Wall”, but I just ignore Water’s craziness and enjoy the music.

[Boogieman]

Yeah, I can’t blame the guy. He found a way to get a PhD listening to Pink Floyd albums, good for him.

[Skooz]

‘Echoes,’ ‘Shine On,’ and ‘Dogs.’

Three of the finest pieces of Rock music ever produced.

Masterpieces all.

[dfwgator]

But by far, Animals is Gilmour’s finest moment in Floyd.

[dfwgator]

Actually Animals is a series of songs that Floyd originally played live on the Wish You Were Here Tour with completely different lyrics, “Dogs” was called “You Gotta Be Crazy” and “Sheep” was “Raving and Drooling.”

When it comes to animals in music this has always been my favorite piece...
