Union 5-3992 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I figured I'd put two really big moody albums against each other. Pick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Tougher than i first thought. Animals just might be my favorite Pink Floyd album. In the Court of the Crimson King is not my favorite King Crimson album. But, it does contain some stellar songs. "Moonchild" does drag on a bit. Hmmm... For now, at this moment, I vote for Animals.

Union 5-3992 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think Animals blows it to pieces, they're both so different. ITCOTCK is so beloved and Animals is considered an album Floyd fans like a lot other than the big three. Figured it'd be a good matchup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITCOTCK is so beloved and Animals is considered an album Floyd fans like a lot other than the big three. Figured it'd be a good matchupI wouldn't say it blows it to pieces. ITCOTCK contributed to defining Prog rock. "21st Century Schizoid Man", "Epitaph" and "The Court of the Crimson King" are monster songs. And "I Talk to the Wind" is a very pleasant listen. It's essentially Prog rock defined. But, at this moment, for now, I still prefer Animals. Probably because it was the last Pink Floyd album were Roger Waters wasn't a totally domineering prick. All the band members shine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Never was a fan of King Crimson. Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album, and one of my favorite albums, period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dwarf Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Love Floyd,love Animals.Gilmour shines on this album.However ITCOTCK must surely be one of the defining prog rock albums,and the birth of the mellotron.Pure class.My vote goes to ITCOTCK.

YYZumbi Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 King Crimson is a unbeatable band up to their album Red, and then they started to be to weird. So My vote goes to King Crimson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Love Floyd and Animals, but have to go with Krim. It sort of is an apples/oranges comparison though - the debut album of edgy pioneers vs. an album released arguably at the height of the career of one of the greatest. I'm not surprised more have chosen Animals - it's more accessible in a way (Floyd is more accessible). Krim has always had this element of dissonance and open improvisations (Floyd's spacey bits seem more choreographed.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
