first time i ever heard floyd was in high school religion class (catholic all male...ack) where the hippy teacher used "greatest gig in the sky" (i think that's the one with the lady singing) as a song to meditate to. then i realized what i had been hearing on classic rock stations and immediately went out and put down virtually all my money on the box set - shine on.
In my senior year of high school we talked the teacher into letting us watch The Wall. We told her it was, quite accurately, almost like literature... lol. It was the end of our senior year, nobody cares at that point. Anyway, we were watching it and those of us who knew made sure to shuffle our little old English teacher out of the room, under some fabricated pretense, so she wouldn't see the "groupie" scene.

i have a live recording of primus doing the animals album. les comes out and says he ate some kinda tainted brownie earlier and had spent most of the day puking his guts out "but im feeling it now.. im definetly feeling it now"
kinda sad how the other band members treated syd i thought. apparently he was dosed against his will alot of the time and genuinely (sp) went off the deep end. "A Saucer Full of Secrets- The Pink Floyd Odessy" is a good book that traces the bands entire history. it definetly made me look at floyd differently
I've never heard the Primus one, but I have the Les Claypool and the Flying Frog Brigade covering "Animals." It is disc 2 of the live frogs set. Disc 1 ends with "Shine on You Crazy Diamond", and then Les says "We'll be back with more Pink Floyd than you can Handle" Sick set....if anybody needs it PM me.

Hehe, well as long as your a Floyd fan! I hope you didn't think I was being to critical. I'm just speculative when someone says they liked Floyd when Barrett was helping make the music
Though my favorite Floyd albums would be the more pop oriented ones:
#1 - DSOTM #2 - Wish You Were Here #3 - The Wall #4 - Animals

Yeah, that's a damn good song.
They could pull off Astronomie Domine or Intersteller Overdrive, though. But I agree with what you are saying. All the vocals wouldn't be near as good as the album.
