Dogs is my favorite PF song ever and the solo right before "And when you lose control....." is Gilmour's best IMO. It not only totally nails the melody of the backing but also emotes exactly the tone of Waters' lyrics. One of the only solos that I'll still play every now and then. Never been able to quite get the "evil laughing" lick tone though. I think it's some sort of ring modulator.

Even this guy doesn't get it right.

Agree. Dogs is pribably my favorite song of any band.

For Dogs, Gilmour used a splitter out and went to an amp with one and to a Leslie revolving speaker with the other and recorded both outputs. The leslie speaker really gives it that throttling liveliness.

No wonder I've never been able to quite nail it. Thanks!

This is the thread for your favourite Floyd album, not your favourite Floyd song.

But it's nobody's favourite Pink Floyd album regardless of the fact that Echoes is everyone's favourite Pink Floyd song.

One of These Days is also a common Pink Floyd fave
