Yet you have Animals as your avatar... Animals is much more boring than TaaB. Do you find Dark Side boring? Because it is more or less two side-long songs, the only difference is it is cut into songs and Taab isn't.


Scientists have recently made a major breakthrough! They discovered something which they decided to call "opinions", I think you should look into it.


All I meant by that was that Taab has some quieter moments, yes, but it generally has more going on than Animals, I didn't mean that Animals was inferior to Taab or that one captures the listeners interest more: simply that TaaB has more going on, y'know?

Anyway, that is my opinion! I'm just sharing it.

I guess but I don't know the heaviness in Dogs catches my attention more than TAAB

Echoes by Pink Floyd is a little disappointing, not dreadful, but not great either. After that it's got to be Thick As A Brick.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

Well said!Clap It's rather like a good book... the more pages, the juicier it is, you just don't want it to end.  I think musicians work very hard on their pieces before releasing them.

I agree with those who say Gates of Delirium. I'd add The Remembering to that list.
 
The remembering rawks! 
 
Actually, besides thick, I love about every seventies epic i have heard (which isnt saying much considering I dont own any VDGG).
 
I'll come back to his one after some thought...

Ah yes. How could I have forgotten Echoes. Parts are pleasant but parts just go on with no substance whatsoever. It is certainly the weakest epic, so I apologize to Yes. Echoes, in my opinion - overrated bland rubbish.

Echoes (and Meddle) are the most overated Floyd to me.  Echoes has marvelous moments but really puts me to sleep, and I don't have that problem with any other floyd.  I love Floyd.

Beowulf- I think it's highly overrated Wink

Dream Theater- Six Degrees. I love the version on Score,. but the studio version just bores me.

Gates of Delerium>Supper's Ready, although both are overrated in my opinion.

Passion Play by JT, though side 2 of Thick as a brick is weak.
