A Collection of Great Dance Songs - Pink Floyd
This oddly titled album is really a greatest hits collection of some of Pink Floyd's most powerful songs. None of these are dance tunes in the traditional sense. All of them are powerful. Some are modified and tweaked, so you get a different slant on some favorites.
You start with One of These Days - a powerful instrumental piece of strength and anger. "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces," growls the singer. Follow that with Money, the classic tune about how people grub their entire lives for money - but in the end, money can make you pretty miserable.
Move on to Sheep, talking about how people tend to have herd-like tendencies. In Shine On you Crazy Diamond, it talks about how fresh people are when they're young, and how this is something we should strive to maintain as we grow up. The more poignant Wish You were Here is understood easily by anybody who is missing someone they care for.
You end up with the ultimate song of power for this band, Another Brick in the Wall Part 2. Played at just about every school around the world, it's not just about schoolkids, but about all of us in life, being squished into roles we have no interest in playing. Does anybody really need sarcasm and hostility laden down on them? I think not!
A great collection of songs with incredible lyrics and intricate melodies. Highly recommended.
