The third best Floyd album

is Atom Heart Mother, no doubt about it.

After Piper (their best) and Dark Side (their second best), this is
the one which is the most interesting and the least boring.

There is practically no whining here (only Waters "If" is a bit
whiny). Gilmour plays some of his most non-calculated solos. And
Wright does some great freeform piano on Alan Psychedelic Breakfast.

The title track is great for the whole 24 minutes. Who does a 24
minute instrumental? These guys had balls. Summer 68 is an excellent
Wright song. Fat Old Sun is a bit boring at the beginning but has a
neat solo at the end.

Meddle is pretty good followup but overall quite boring. And Echoes
doesnt even compare to AHM suite. WYWH has the same problem. SOYCD is
overall boring and doesnot warrant its combined 30 minutes. The lesser
said about the crappy Dogs on Animals the better.

I like The Wall very much but it is not an entertaining album. And too
angsty and depressing for my taste. Hence I would prefer this over The
Wall.

I know Waters/Gilmour/Mason have said this album blows. I say they are
idiots.

So you are getting the bootleg Floyd at your Kwik-E-Mart? Are they $5 each?
Do they have Blondie songs at the end to fill up the whole CD? Do you know
the difference between Blondie and Pink Floyd?

He only whines when Uncle Mustapha passes up the younger boys and visits
Raja at night. Owning a Kwik-E-Mart in the ghetto has its privileges.

This is all so sweet that it makes me want to rewrite the first line
of Erich Segal's "Love Story":

"What can you say about a 38 year old pop album that nobody listenes
to any more?"

I like it too BUT it definitely can't be considered one of PF's top 3
albums.
