WYWH? One could argue that I guess, but Meddle has Seamus and Animals has Pigs on the Wing so f*ck no.
Wish You were Here is disrupted by the title track which sticks out like a sore thumb on the otherwise glorious album. It's like a less annoying song than Money, albeit as grossly overplayed, on an otherwise better album than DSOTM. Meddle is kinda' a weird album in that it's almost structurally the inversion of DSOTM. Meddle is a collection of disparate tunes, including Seamus, with Echoes being the one marathon song that gives the album it's central theme. DSOTM is a wannabe concept album ruined by Money (imo, of course). Pigs on the wing I & II...really? C'mon, into & outro, prologue & epilogue, foreword & afterword, matching ****ing bookends. How much more symmetrical, cohesive, and undisruptive does it get?
