I honestly don't understand why people don't talk about Pink Floyd's Meddle. It has everything you could possibly want from a Pink Floyd album. They didn't just stumble upon the sound they got on Dark Side of the Moon.

You get all these douchey teens walking around with an Animals shirt on, that haven't even heard the damn album. I'll be honest, I've never been able to sit through the whole album.

Nobody gives Meddle love, and it's as much Pink Floyd as you could hope for.

'Echoes' from Meddle is great but other than that I think the album preceding Dark Side 'Obscured by Clouds' is better and displays even more of what you would eventually hear on Dark Side.

On the subject of 'Animals' I've never been a big fan of the song 'Sheep' but the rest of it is great especially 'Pigs (Three Different Ones)' which for me is a tie with 'Time' as my all time favorite Pink Floyd song.
