Pink Floyd - Fearless


I somehow missed this song along the way, heard it for the first time a few years ago. WTH??

The entire album Meddle is incredible. It's my favorite Pink Floyd album…

Meddle is a great album but c'mon it's nowhere close to DSOTM.

I think it's literally the album before DSOTM.

I also like Animals and Wish You Were Here better than DSOTM…

It is the album before.

My rank is:

DSOTM
Wish you were here
The Wall
Animals
Meddle

The Wall sucks.

It's just Waters getting all emo and jerking off the whole time. It's the reason why Wright left the band. It was the beginning of the end of Pink Floyd…

I'm well aware of the history of Pink Floyd and that's just like your opinion, man…

But back on target, Fearless is a great choice.

An even better Pink Floyd hidden gem would be Jugband Blues. The last song with Syd…

Edit: The only problem with Jugband Blues is that you may need to listen to it 10-20 times before you really start to appreciate it.

Animals
Wish You Were Here
Dark Side Of The Moon
The Wall

That's the correct order.

Any Pink Floyd album list if fine by me as long as The Wall is at the very bottom…
Zombie Jon Snow

I'm gonna throw out some Men at Work songs. Probably not considered a great band, I think they got dismissed as a gimmick band. But for me they have about 15 songs I love.


Of course they were very well known for Down Under and Who Can it Be Now and had a few other charted hits like It's a Mistake, Overkill and Be Good Johnny.


But there were a bunch of other great songs like Underground off their first album.




Another was Down by the Sea. Off their second album I think High Wire might have been a single but it did not chart and even off their third album Maria and Still Life..

Colin Hay is just a criminally underrated singer.

The Pink Floyd conversation got me thinking about great 3 album stretches. What compares to

DSOTM
Wish You Were Here (maybe my favorite album, cover to cover, of all time)
Animals
Zombie Jon Snow

Yeah I honestly could have gone either way on that. Just not the middle three. I think most people like earlier or later.

This was my response to another thread exactly like this one. One of my favorite songs by them. Such a simple song, but great lyrics and just a great riff.

Feel like this one doesn't get as much love as some of the other songs in their catalog.
Maybe my favorite, and sure to get me scream-singing in the car.
