ivyficI just have to take a moment to praise Pink Floyd's Animals. At the moment, this is one of my absolute favorite albums; it may even displace Sting's Soul Cages for the top spot.
It's amazing - I can listen to it on repeat for days and never get tired of it. It's the musical equivalent of glucose: everything is carcinogenic when ingested in sufficient quantities except for glucose. You can feed rats a 100% glucose diet, make them live over a vat of it and breathe glucose fumes, and it won't cause cancer. Animals is like it. I just can't overdose on it.
Of course, to this I have to add that when my brother played this album for me when we were in high school, I thought it was the most boring thing ever written. But then, I used to think I hated Boston Creme Pie too.
