Legend CUT His GENIUS Partner OUT of This 1977 Record To SEIZE Control of Band! | Professor of Rock

Although Pink Floyd is no stranger to this channel, we really are breaking new ground here… taking on an epic album that we’ve never covered before. And with it, a formidable song that is as darkly beautiful as they come. Were covering the dog-eat-dog track from Pink Floyd’s 1977 masterpiece Animals, Dogs… It was written by one of the premiere lyrical geniuses of the past half-century… Roger Waters and boasts a brooding, black-hearted view of the world. Okay maybe that sounds a little bleak, but I’m telling you… When paired with the sonic excellence of his guitar hero bandmate David Gilmour, this track becomes a rarified work of art. Plus we’re giving you a preview of how this album led to the beginning of the end for this band. We’ve got no shortage of drama for this one. It’s an episode you’re not going to want to miss… NEXT on the Professor of Rock.

So today we’re coming back to a top-tier band that is one of my favorites ever… a combination of four almost mythical musicians who changed the way we listen to music forever back in the 70s. I’m talking about David Gilmour, Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright… collectively known as Pink Floyd. Although in the past we’ve broken down songs from most of their biggest albums: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall…

…we have yet to take a deep dive into their 1977 masterpiece “Animals.” So we’re going to change that today…And to kick things off, we’re going with the track that eats up almost all of Side 1: Dogs. As Pink Floyd progressed through the 70s — moving further away from the collaborative effort of Dark Side of the Moon — Roger Waters’ stranglehold over the band began to tighten. Such was the strength of his lyrical and conceptual genius. Say what you will about Roger Waters the man, but Pink Floyd would have never achieved all they did without him. But then again, you can say the same thing about David Gilmour, whose sonic brilliance is in a class all its own. As every Floyd fan knows, these two giants of rock are ‘indisputably indispensable’ to this band’s legacy. I just want to put that out there as we get into this. Because honestly, there are some hard things to sift through here.

So Roger Waters — judging by the concept albums he has spearheaded — has an insane talent for giving life to the twisted concepts churning in his head. A poet of the darkest order, his lyrical prowess towered above his bandmates’ skills with the written word. And that is where today’s drama-filled narrative kicks into gear. By the time Water got to work writing 1977’s Animals, he was making a distinct transition from writing lyrics that could be somewhat vague to addressing very precise.
