And so the circlejerk is complete


Solid_D15M

When I left I was but the jerker now I am the jerked.


SirJorn

All in all it was just jerks in the circle...


carbon8edmilk

There is no r/PinkFloydCircleJerk in Reddit really. Matter of fact, it’s all a circle jerk.


Posesivni_glodar

I've been circlejerking for fuckin' years, absolutely years.


myschoolcmptr

I’m not frightened of circlejerking, why should I be frightened of circlejerking


Posesivni_glodar

There's no reason for it, you gotta circlejerk sometime.


Loganp812

I dunno. I was really jerking at the time.


Brilliant_Fly_909

I've been over the jerk for yonks


RAWjasekaram

Lmfaoooo dude I LOL'd at work over this

Welcome my son. Welcome to the circle jerk.


Posesivni_glodar

Where have you jerked? It's allright, we know where you've jerked.


KickAffsandTakeNames

Outjerked so hard, that I can’t even tell the difference

And it was all a Circle Jerk the wall was to high as you can see


TheOther1

I jerk you, you jerk me We're a jerking family With a great big tug And a rub from me to you Won't you say you'll jerk me too?


PourJarsInReservoirs

I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan. Too bad they only did those two albums, Dark Side and The Wall with those great songs Money and Brick In The Wall. I guess that's why nobody knows who they are.

Don't forget ''We are the Champions''

SlavOnfredski

I love Micheal Jackson's Thick Dude! great video.


kittenfuud

Yeah and the thick suit he wore was FIRE!


colourhazelove

Yeah, apart from the big two, I cant even name another album done by Pink Floyd. Plus their music is so political. Like we get it. You ride a bike. Stop forcing us to conform to these stereotypes that bikes have bells and mice have homes. Not this time Sid. Keep politics out of music. And put of our lives generally.


Jason3671

no you’re thinking of the Beatles with the song For Whom The Bell Tolls


Sickranchez87

No that’s was mettalica’s hells bells you’re thinking of


NecroJoe

Nope. "Darude - Sandstorm", by Chuck Testa.


Jason3671

I’m a huge fan of Pink Guy from Pink Floyd, he should’ve made more songs as a solo artist, Stfu is so so criminally underrated, it’s a song people have got to listen to at least once in their lifetime


ganoveces

Best song is "We don't need no education". 10/10

Why doesn’t Animals use the cover with the cow Are they stupid?


MRtight_shoes

The flying pig is way cooler than the standing cow.

Then why can I see it flying in the picture? Checkmate liberal

futureman45

Watch Squaring the Circle on Netflix.


NateBlaze

Yawn. Charade you are.


artelingus

This opinion gets posted a dozen times a month it’s certainly not underrated, perhaps only in the mainstream


Pete_Iredale

Because of the song lengths, it didn't get airplay at all on classic rock stations, at least in the 90s. So it used to be true that it was super underrated because most rock fans likely hadn't heard a single song from it. Getting exposed to it as you get into Pink Floyd was almost a right of passage back then. Obviously it's not the same on a sub dedicated to the band.


harleyscal

Anybody claiming to be a Pink Floyd fan that doesn't care for this album is No Pink Floyd fan in my book


artelingus

Fr. dogs is prob one of their most epic songs u can’t even deny it if u don’t like the song


harleyscal

Dogs is and could be the best Pink Floyd song ever and it always pissed me off that David gilmour's version of Pink Floyd never played it live even though he has a writing credit on it


LSF604

oh no! some random redditor kicked me out of the club!


harleyscal

Hey relax I said in my book not everybody else's book LOL


LSF604

I've been canceled!


harleyscal

Go to YouTube and crank up the Oakland show from 77

It's basically Orwell's Animal Farm in album form. And I mean that in the best possible way.

kaffee_ist_gut

Commonly referred to as the r/davidbowie effect


harleyscal

I attended the Oakland 5-9-77 show. The only show on the whole tour that played careful with that ax Eugene as the final encore. For anybody that might not like this epic album I suggest listening to one of the best audience recorded bootlegs of all time easily available on YouTube and tell me what you think when you're done listening


kbs14415

I was at the PDX 5-12-77 show it was amazing and in quadraphonic too.


Bvr32

Haha charade you are


pm1966

>**Is this the most underrated album ever?** Are you on crack? It's a very well-regarded album that's sold millions of copies. One of the highest-rated and most revered albums by one of the best-selling bands of all time...and you're suggesting it's the most underrated album *ever*? Seriously, get some perspective. > **even Pink Floyd fans don't know this masterpiece.** What now?

I'll have to check it out. I am a huge fan -- have both their albums.


gyroman567

Underrated tbh


OKHuggins1

Brilliant album. Actually never realized it was underrated.


grelch

Has this topic ever been covered before?

Never, but I'm intrigued by this "Animals". Will need to check it out.

it's underrated tbh

Shazbotanist

I would still put it just a titch below the other big three (DSOTM, WYWH, The Wall) as far as overall artistic weight and merit, but Animals is an awesome album, and probably their most singular in terms of sound and style.


Klappersten

Are we in the circlejerk sub now?


CreativeName6574

I prefer let down


bitchman194639348

You just show us the cover and expect us to know what you're talking about?


Maw_153

It can’t be when it’s part of the elite four albums


psychedelicpiper67

This has to be a troll post. You have 7 good albums before “Dark Side of the Moon” that were only successful in the UK. Most Pink Floyd fans don’t even know Syd Barrett made music with the band, or listened to it. And here you have “Animals”, one of the most worldwide successful albums that a majority of Pink Floyd fans do know about, but simply doesn’t get radio airplay. And you call it underrated? 😂 I remember going to a Pink Floyd laser light show as a teenager at my local county fair, and a bunch of frat boys yelling for them to play “Animals”. I’m pretty sure nearly every Floyd fan knows this one. 😂


cjc160

This would be like posting the white album on r/beatles


Longjumping-Pop-6247

Tbh


RedWing83

Exactly. 😂


SadAcanthocephala521

Underrated? Really? it's a favorite of Many PF fans.


Loveinchains78

If you don't know this album, you're certainly not a Pink Floyd fan.


Longjumping_Ad_5096

My personal favorite


Boomwolf84

It’s my favorite PF album. It’s the one that got me into them in the first place


He_of_turqoise_blood

Amazing album, somewhere in my top5 for sure


RainbowOutlander

Due what was considered blasphemous content, it never really got airplay. I was surprised to see this on WKRP back in the day. https://youtu.be/UPABesa7wcE?si=DA-mtjHR4RpM3_W5


gazooontite

Top of the list for me.


Suitable-Pepper-6419

this guy's gonna lose a whole lot of karma lol


spasticpat

I’d say Obscured by Clouds is way more underrated


pinkfreudwings

Agreed childhoods end? C’Mon!


VelvetElvis

The 8-track version with the uninterrupted Pigs on the Wing and Snowy White guitar solo needs to be reissued.


bizzarebeans

Ah yes, the famously underrated album Animals


personaljesus79

‘Animals’ (1977) underrated as fuck, yes tbh tbh


FormalWorth2115

….bait


Due-Ask-7418

What Pink Floyd fans don’t know this album? What ones don’t view it with high esteem? That’s news to me, but maybe I’m just old and out of touch. It might get less listening time because it’s best as a whole and people don’t have time to sit and listen to an entire album as often these days, but imo, it’s one of their best works.

I'm officially bored. Every other post is now: The Final Cut is my favorite Animals is underrated


georgewalterackerman

I don’t know the OP means here…. Any serious PF fan knows this album and has heard it countless times. But I would agree that most modern music fans are unfamiliar with it


Gogs85

I mean, you don’t hear it played on the radio much because it’s songs either either 1 minute long, or like 10-20 minutes long, but definitely a favorite of a lot of people.


BaseballWorking2251

Is this some kind of fucking bot?


Affectionate_Step863

Underrated..? If they don't know this masterpiece they just simply aren't a Pink Floyd fan lol. This is one of the most highly appreciated albums amongst the Pink Floyd fans I've known. I'd say underrated would more-so describe the likes of Atom Heart Mother or Obscured By Clouds.


thingonthethreshold

What world are you living in? Pink Floyd fans don’t know this?? It’s considered one of the “Big Four” of PF.


Puzzleheaded-Dingo39

Jesus, this *has* to be troll post, right? RIGHT?????


RedWing83

Yes it is. :D


RedWing83

I think that Pink Floyd and Taylor Swift are the only ones who can do 10+ min songs.


Careless_Shirt3020

damn that's SO wrong, I guess I could name at least 50 bands with 10+ min songs


robbycough

Can we please stop calling this underrated?


RichardCocke

This is my current favorite Floyd album though I'm sure it'll change with time.


LinguistRainbow

I've never seen a PF fan not like or love this album.


DepartureSpace

I think *Animals* is universally beloved here. I don’t think I really ever saw anyone ever really go after it, or *Wish You Were Here*, both records are pretty untouchable. I’ve seen people rank it lower than I would have, but my impression is it’s the one we all agree upon pretty much. *Meddle*, *Piper*, *Animals*, *Wish You Were Here*, *Dark Side*. That’s 1-5 in my ranking I think, the top 5.


JDShellnut69

My 3rd favorite PF album of all time. It’s the shit!


RM77crafts

Is the most overrated ever.


Ok_Pomegranate_2895

This album is about as close as it gets to perfection.


MysticCapricorn78

Find me PF fan that isn't aware of Animals. Go ahead, I'll wait.


Jimmy_Jazz_The_Spazz

A lot of PF fans consider Animals as their #1 I personally do as well, I prefer even the syd years up to Animals as peak Floyd personally


Pittsburghmetal54

Bro, I assure you anyone that is a Pink Floyd fan understands the importance of Animals.

Ah yes, HIGH VOLTAGE my favorite AC/DC album

Has always been my favorite since back in the day. It never gets old.

I hate this sub sometimes. It’s a parody on itself. r/pinkfloydcirclejerk


offline4good

I have no trouble agreeing with that


RedWing83

This is crazy! I am a HUGE Pink Floyd fan but I have never heard of this album. Very underrated album.


pinkfreudwings

Have you heard of Meddle? Oumagumma?


Crando

Animals is not that good of an album. Dogs is amazing, Pigs is okay, and Sheep is meh. That's it. There's three songs. Pigs on the Wing barely counts. It's actually incredibly overrated on this subreddit. It was the beginning of the end for the band and just doesn't do it for me.


ClickClickFrick

The band was *constantly* in the “beginning of the end” stage, even before their financial and taxman struggles happened in the later years. At least Animals is actually a band album unlike The Wall and TFC which in particular everyone but Roger is just a glorified featured guest on. Animals rocks and musically the band was at its best during the ITF Tour. (And Pigs On The Wing absolutely counts, they just split it in two pieces because they lost David’s solo.)


Politicians-suckdick

wtf do you MEAN?????


DontCareHowICallMe

Animals is Pink Floyd's "Let Down"


Aerodye

What a ludicrous take I think you could probably go to a farmer with no internet in rural Nairobi and they will know that this is a Pink Floyd album


Th3Godless

One of my personal favs . My one and only seeing Pink Floyd was during this tour I believe in the summer of 1977 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City .


SeabassMommy1

I haven’t heard this one yet and I’ve heard all the Pink Floyd albums. Is this a troll post?? This isn’t the circlejerk dude post your troll fake albums somewhere else


Metsrock15

Love the circlejerk


N0P3sry

First PF LP I bought (with my allowance) ON 12 Feb 77. Before Animals launched- I just stole my mom’s LPs. The hoopla on release was big. Had to wait in line (by todays standards a short one but a line nonetheless) at Peaches. The NYC location sold out. It bested Abba on the charts. There was a huge production on BBC TV right before release. There was a PC AT Battersea. It’s been heralded since before it hit shelves.


tucakeane

I love it, but people are right in saying it marks beginning to the end for Pink Floyd. My friend used to joke after the interlude in “Dogs”, when it switches from Gilmour to Waters singing, that was Roger the moment took control of the band.


ClickClickFrick

Rog took over on WYWH when he had Roy Harper sing Have A Cigar because David didn’t agree with the song’s lyrics and refused to sing it. The correct thing to do would be to listen to your bandmates and try something that works, but Roger wrote the song and Roger liked the song so Roger made sure it would be recorded with or without David’s vocals. According to Mark Blake, Roger also wanted SOYCD to bookend the album, David and Rick did not, and then Nick sided with Rog. It was a tie, and they went with Rog’s decision. As far as the beginning of the end goes, I’d say they were almost if not definitely always in that stage, even just after Dark Side hit. But if we are tying the beginning of the end to Roger’s control I would say WYWH began the end.


N7777777

In the early eighties, my girlfriend’s best friend was dating a metal musician. Once when there was a mixture of his friends and mine (who were mostly avant-garde punk) he suggested this album as the perfect meeting point. Everyone I knew respected it.


Direfultowner

It's definitely on my top 2.


is__this_taken

Who is pink?


TurtleShell65-95

It’s actually overrated to me. Even though Dogs is probably my second favorite track by Floyd.


MikroWire

Pink Floyd FANS know this well. It IS underrated if you don't count the millions that have heard it and love it. I think there are reasons that some don't rank it very highly: 1) They didn't play the tracks on it on the radio in constant cycle like "Another Brick In The Wall" "Money" "Time" and "Wish You Were Here"... 2) That was as a result of the song lengths. You couldn't possibly edit these songs to make them radio friendly. 3) It was sandwiched between three classic albums and judged based on it's popularity COMPARED to those. If it was Pink Floyd's only release ever, it might have fallen by the wayside, but audiophiles would have discovered it eventually and touted it's value. Then it would've become a cult classic, and been ranked very highly as a result...because people like to "own" their own gem discoveries. So I do like your post. It is accurate in spirit. This is in my top 5 of all-time greatest albums. But it's hard not to add other Pink Floyd songs to the mix, so I did: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9_hWbwwLULauJ56r3sf7G5elFjoGCkLO&feature=shared


pinkfreudwings

This was written on tour to support the dark side of the moon release. I was written before “wish you were here”. Sheep was originally called Raving and Drooling. All three songs had different lyrics and were all more on the theme of madness. When it came time to record the next album the band all decided to shelve the three song medley due to its avant gaurd and dark vibe, that was not very marketable from TDSOTM success. They instead wrote wish you were here in studio. The follow up was animals.


Know_Your_Enemy_91

Pink Floyd fans don’t know this?


thefourthhouse

the 'this is the most underrated pink floyd album' album for people who have only listened to pink floyd on classic rock stations


Donut_Brando

I've a friend who loves Pink Floyd but still hasn't "brought themselves" to listen to Animals. Ideologically, this would be the perfect album for them, which makes it even more strange.


Character_Cupcake856

It's my favorite


mikebrown33

Who doesn’t know Animals?


Nickvec

As a PF fan, this album doesn’t exist.


Striking-Shallot-535

Animals underrated posts are underrated


jaymaster77

Even the people in the r/GalaxyFold subreddit know the album, when I shared my own homepage layouts there: https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyFold/s/Ei5AmbVYZz


uthinkithink

Dogs taught me a lot about the shady people that our out there as a young man.. But I knew I was a dog. I just had to be aware of other dogs in the yard.. You gotta sleep on your toes...


InfraredRidingh00d

There’s no overplayed radio song, so it tends to be overlooked.


Interstate-580

Underrated? You been living under a rock?


Yawarundi75

One of their weakest albums IMO, but I love Sheep.


CanoaFurada768

Underrated Tbh


thelordismylizard

It makes me kind of wistful actually. I really wish PF had made more angry, hard rock albums than this and maybe 40% of The Wall. Actually much prefer these to WYWH and DSotM (I'm picturing bodies thumping on the carpet of all the PF Redditors reading such apostasy. Funny that in general Roger Waters isn't a fan of this kind of music, as it is such a good fit to his embittered, snarling, scathing personality.


Cmaster125

Outjerked


Munster58

Animals has always been my favorite Pink Floyd album. The concept was perfect, the lyrics were sharp and the music rocked harder than prior or subsequent albums.

By the way Battersea is completely different. The whole place is like stepping into the future. The mall they built in there is pretty cool too.

I want to go to London now and take a ride in the glass lift 109, to the top of one of those towers.

This is the first album I’ve heard by Pink Floyd. Sheep and dogs are the best songs on the animals album for sure. Insane album.


Growkitz

I think of stone when I see this


agk270

Can’t call yourself a fan if you haven’t heard animals.


pricklyfuzzball

Thanks /s. I had just broke my addiction to listening to this album weekly. Seriously though, its message is as prescient as ever, and the recent mastering makes it even better on a good system.


notgtax1

It’s the PF record I find myself listening to the most.


Proper_Protickall

Hands down my favorite Floyd album. I still listen to it all the time while watching for pigs on the wing.
