Does anyone know if Pulse live is on DVD?

[Riva]

Nope. I only know that Live at Pompeii is on DVD. It should be released on DVD soon though.

[Riva]

So, I'm listening to Delicate Sound Of Thunder, and Wish You Were Here is scratched. :upset:

Anyone else ever had one of their favourite songs rendered unlistenable?

/bump in disguise

I had that problem, and then I found Kazaa :cool:

Hehe, it ain't so bad, as I have it ripped to my computer, but it still sucks when I'm listening to it in the car.

[Kingofdudes]

Not a Pink Floyd CD, but my Tool - Undertow CD is scratched up. :upset:

What does everyone think about David Gilmour as a singer? I think he has a great voice and has recorded some incredible layers(Especially on Comfortably Numb). It is too bad he is usually overshadowed by other classic rock vocalists.


/me goes off to watch David Gilmour DVD

/fanboy

[guitrguy]

I think he is better then Roger, but that also might because Roger is an asshole.

Dude, I totally agree. I think Gilmour is a way better singer than Waters, and just way more awesome. Gilmour is definitely my favorite guitarist of all time... I LOVE the DVD.

[Riva]

He is easily better than Syd, but I think Roger has a better tone. David has a greater range though. He's the second singer in Comfortably Numb, isn't he?

[DeusExMachina]

I think its on DVD.... my friend back in Seattle said he saw it in a store... it better come out on DVD soon, if its not already.

[Kingofdudes]

Yes, Roger does the eerie(sp?) spoekn part in the beginning. Then Gilmour comes in on "There is no pain/you are receding"

Scratch the DVD, my parents are using the TV.

[Riva]

Yes, I love that part. Very eerie (sp?).

[guitrguy]

Eerie > eery.

The people Gilmour has to do that are terrible.

[Kingofdudes]

You are correct on the spelling :upset:

Though Roger is a great vocalist aswell. Dogs has great vocals.

[DeusExMachina]

I really like the guest vocalists on the David Gilmour Live DVD, I think they do great jobs of Comfortably Numb. Bob Geldof not as much, but I think the first guy (robert wyatt? something like that) does a terrific job of it. I mean, its like talking/singing, so it gets off the idea of him being a "doctor," but still has incredible melody. I just think he has a great singing voice in general.

[guitrguy]

I think the vocals in Pigs(Three Different Ones) owns Dogs.

[Kingofdudes]

Im thinking about ordering the In the Flesh DVD. Has anyone seen it?

[Riva]

No. And I think the vocals of Pigs (Three Different Ones) > Dogs > Sheep.

[Poofy 666]

nope

when i first read the lyrics for 'Mother', i couldnt stop thinking of ashcroft <-(not capitalized on purpose)

[DeusExMachina]

I haven't seen the DVD, but the album is awesome, and its Pink Floyd, so its bound to be good.

[Riva]

Can't argue with that logic. :thumb:

[DeusExMachina]

Which early Pink Floyd CD's are worth getting? I've got Piper At The Gates of Dawn, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, DSOTM, and everything after DSOTM (excluding some of the live things and compilations, like Echoes and A Collection of Great Dance Songs. I do have Pulse and Is There Anybody Out There, though)

[Riva]

Ummagumma. I have it on tape, and I love it.

[DeusExMachina]

Awesome. Thanks.

[Kingofdudes]

Saucer Full of Secrets is good too.

[Simple Man]

Pink Floyd, what a great band....some of my favorites by them are Comfortably Numb and Wish you were here.

[Kingofdudes]

Comfortably Numb is one of my favorite floyd songs. I can listen to it over and over without getting sick of it.

[Simple Man]

I agree, the solo in that is amazing.

[Riva]

Same for me with Time and Us And Them

[Kingofdudes]

I have been listening to Us and Them a lot lately. I love the points in the song when all the vocals and instruments blend together. The only thing is, they can only capture that in the studio, live it is lacking a bit.

[Riva]

Yes, it isn't as good live. Time is better live though, I think.

[thelizardkingcc]

floyd is one of my all time favorite bands, but to be honest, comfortably numb is one of my least favorite of theirs. ive seen the wall movie shrooming, high, and sober for a combined like 50 times probably, and it blows me away, as does the album itself, but that song just doesnt do it for me. animals and the wall are my two favorite albums, with songs like echoes, shine on, atom heart mother suite, anotther brick III, and the "live at pompeii" version of "saucerful of secrets" (gilmour's vocal solo in that is beautiful,) coming up as my favorite songs.

what do you all think of atom heart mother as anal bum (that was a typo at first but i left it haha)

question #2: what do you all think gilmours greatest solo was? Id go with shine on you crazy diamond, and dogs coming in #2, off my head.

[-Listy-]

What do people think of The Final Cut? listened to it the other day, The Fletcher Memorial Home is a great song

[Brew]

^I've got The Final Cut on cd somewhere but I've never listened to it properly.

I'm going to have to go and find it later, along with Animals.

[a_minor_threat]

Pink Floyd isn't that good to me.

[smrkia05]

I think that Pink Floyd is truely one of the best bands out of the progressive rock era. not only roger waters' mind blowing lyrics but simply composition if you listen closely there are many effect, female vocalists, trumpets, synths, sax, etc. The Wall was the greatest record they produced.


If you are a true Pink Floyd fan you must see the video, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall

What're you talking about? Be a bit more intelligent with your reasoning behind these things. You state as fact that the Wall is their best album, but provide no evidence, and many of the reasons you state Pink Floyd is a great band don't even come into the wall. There is no sax, trumpets, or female vocals on that album (that come to mind at least, correct me if I'm wrong)

I took a risk on Obscured By Clouds, Floyd's second movie soundtrack, but it is really good. Definitely overlooked and really worth having.

[DeusExMachina]

Awesome. Thanks man. I'll probably buy everything eventually, but I wasn't sure what to get next.

[Kingofdudes]

So much Pink Floyd hate in these forums. :upset:

[DeusExMachina]

Really? I haven't come across too much, but thats weak. Pink Floyd is awesome.

[lunch998]

Hopefully I will just have it all one day.

[Kingofdudes]

That "Respected Bands you dont like thread", everyone is saying Pink Floyd.

Bah to them :mad:

[Berty]

So if I only have Wish You Were Here, which album should I get next?

[Kingofdudes]

Dark Side of the Moon
Animals
The Wall

All are good albums

[i am the robots]

Animals > All other Pink Floyd

[lunch998]

Animals is great.

To KingofDudes:Those people just can't understand the genious of Pink Floyd.

[jpj]

You will get DSOTM, The Wall, and Animals.

Yea, they were all making me very angry :angry: I hope they get hurt in the near future.

[Big-Bird]

Should I get Meddle?

I'm already planning on buying Animals, The Wall, and Piper at the gates of dawn

[Riva]

Yes. Meddle is a very good album, but get those three (Animals, The Wall and PATGOD first, as they will help you settle into the more conceptual Floyd. :)

[Jim Spoon]

Anything with the song Comfortably Numb on it is good

[Permanent Solution]

Yeah, Meddle is a great album. I actually got that before PATGOD, but Animals and The Wall are more essential buys than Meddle. I was really surprised when I finally heard Echoes actually, as I was expecting to maybe be a bit underwhelmed after everything I'd heard about it, but all the hype really is justified.
Bah, doubting us? :p
Echoes really is great :thumb:

Yes, meddle is my 5th favorite Pink Floyd album. Get it now.

[weatherman123]

I just went to a local cd store, and i bought two bootleg floyd dvd's, as well as delicate sound of thunder and a performance at Earls Court in 1980

[weatherman123]

and IMO, the best gilmour solo is the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb (second solo), or the second Dogs solo
I also really like the second Pigs (Three Different Ones) solo, although the one with the talkbox is pretty cool...
Another favorite of mine is the solo in Echoes, it just fits the song perfectly

What are people's favorite floyd rhythm tracks?
for me....its the chords in Breathe

[Metal Meltdown]

My favorite rhythm is probably Great Gig in the Sky (yeah, its piano, but so what?) And my favorite solo is probably the SOYCD solo. That song is just brilliant. WYWH is definitely the best Pink Floyd CD.

[ledpoisoning27]

I like Pink Floyd without being high or anything, but I'm still going to listen to it whilst high to see if it lives up to its hype.

Has anyone seen the Aussie Pink Floyd? They really are amazing, if you get chance to see them, go and do it.

You won't regret it.

I just got to the aus pink floyd show for nov 19, there not that great of seats but ill tell you how it was after ive seen so far ive heard its almost as good has seeing Pink Floyd

[DeusExMachina]

My guitar teacher saw the Pink Floyd 3 times, ranging from the early 70's shows to the Pulse tour, and he's seen the Aussie Pink Floyd. Apparently, the Aussie Pink Floyd is not as spectacular of a light show type thing, but just as good sounding. Me, I loved the Aussie show.

[Kingofdudes]

:( I want to see them, but they arent touring near me.

[DeusExMachina]

Bummer. I saw them way back in April, when they did a really selective North America tour. Now they're doing a bigger one, but I moved since then and won't be able to see the show... go figure.

[frkn'loud]

my fave Pink Floyd album is The Wall its really well put together and its got some of Floyd's most haunting songs. as for the most haunting id have to say Careful With That Axe Eugene (listening to it now) for an instumental its pretty haunting but Is There Anybody Out There is up there. Money from Darkside of the Moon is my fave Floyd song. i had no idea they existed untill my dad showed me The Wall when i was 12 i was fascinated by them. but most of Floyd's songs are pretty haunting. but i have a problem ive got Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and Wish You Were Here on vinyl, i need Animals and Ummagumma on vinyl but i cant figure out where i could get them from in Perth (west australia) can anybody help me?
cheers

[Riva]

So, anyway, back to the topic. What is the significance of how In The Flesh? has a question mark, and In The Flesh doesn't?

[DeusExMachina]

Um... Well, In The Flesh? has ambiguity about whether or not you're actually seeing the real "Pink Floyd," hence the question mark. In The Flesh makes it clear that you're seeing a "surrogate band," and not really Pink Floyd, so the title is kind of ironic.

[~The*Lemon*Song~]

Yeah, all the lyrics on that album are creepy...to me, the ones that are haunting would have to be Goodbye Blue Sky, One of my turns (linking to Don't leave me now), and The Show must go On. It's like it has double meanings, the first part being about the war, and the second about the panic of realizing where you've gotten with the music you've produced and feeling like that corporate monster whore when your music hits fame and you have nowhere to go.

[~The*Lemon*Song~]

Echoes is in my top list of favourites from Pink Floyd though.

[weatherman123]

echoes is a great song...the meddle version is WAY better than the 'Echoes' greatest hits version

[thelizardkingcc]

so on my cd of "the wall" it says the song title is "One of my TUNES" not "turns," but ive read "turns" elsewhere as well, so whats the real title?

[Jude]

I'm pretty sure it's turns, since tunes doesn't make sense...

Echoes isn't just a good song, it's the best piece of music ever written...

[Kingofdudes]

Turns is correct

[Schyma]

I almost agree...but theres a pointless moment that 7:00 to 19:00 is just uncalled for I turn off my CD player at 7:00. That 1st 7 min. though is just amazing.

[DeusExMachina]

what about the last 4 minutes? I like the whole thing, but even if you don't like that experimental bit, it normalizes again at the end.

[Permanent Solution]

I think it flows as one piece, the mood evolves constantly, you just have to be up for that kind of variety I guess.

[DeusExMachina]

Agreed.

[lunch998]

I think Dogs>Echoes, but Echoes is still amazing. Dogs just appeals to me more.

[Broken Arrow]

I think Echoes changes pace more and makes it more interesting for the listener

[DeusExMachina]

I never really got too into Animals. Guess I just need to give it another shot.

[jpj]

I never really got too into Animals. Guess I just need to give it another shot.
Yea I think you do. Animals>everything.

[Kingofdudes]

Yea I think you do. Animals>everything.

tr00f

[weatherman123]

i think theyre too different to compare

[weatherman123]

in my opinion:

animals>meddle>dsotm>wywh>the wall>patgod>ummagumma>saucerful>thats all i have

[Lateralias]

The only thing I don't like about Animals is the song Pigs (3 different ones), it loses my attention after the first few minutes... but I love the rest of that album... Dogs and Sheep are amazing songs, with great solos too.

[~The*Lemon*Song~]

I love Animals. Animals, Meddle, The Wall, DSOTM...those are probably my favourites. I like Obscured by Clouds as well.

[DeusExMachina]

WYWH Is their best CD, in my opinion. Every song on it is just amazing. And its got my two favorite songs of all time (SOYCD and WYWH)

[ledpoisoning27]

the band is quite fantansic, thats really what i think... o by the way which one is pink?

[-Listy-]

:lol:

[weatherman123]

i think we can all agree that as brilliant as dave gilmour is/was, he is no watters when it comes to putting albums together...

[frkn'loud]

Pink Floyd named themselves after two blues musicians: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council (this was back when they used to play bluesy stuff). So none of the the band memebers are pink or floyd

[DeusExMachina]

Um... whats your point? We all know that none of the members are named Pink or Floyd. I'm pretty sure everyone knew where the name came from. When LedPoisoning27 said that, he was quoting Have A Cigar, not actually asking a question.

[Permanent Solution]

[Kingofdudes]

I think it has something to do with insecurity. Or else just generally being moronic. It doesn't make you cool to like obscurities. I hate the people who say DSotM and The Wall were crap compared to say, Atom Heart Mother :angry:

[the mighty zep]

I base my enitre life around DSOTM. I just think its the best thing to happen to music...its so perfect and original. I mean, what doesnt it have that makes a great album? Other than the cost...

but yeah, next to dark side - WYWH. Probably the most meaningful album made. and then Animals. The Wall is probably my least favorite, though it serves for a good story. Comfortably numb and ABITW are an exception, but the rest could be better. not the Floyd im used to

[bennyl]

I think it has something to do with insecurity. Or else just generally being moronic. It doesn't make you cool to like obscurities. I hate the people who say DSotM and The Wall were crap compared to say, Atom Heart Mother :angry:

Obviously they are "better" because they were hugely more sucessful. However, generally, the point is more to do with the fact that some people never go deeper than Dark Side. For instance, songs like echoes never get respect, and the two best things by them (in my opinion) would be Piper and WYWH. And no one gives piper any respect

[Riva]

I respect all of Pink Floyd's work, but I just don't see how people can deliberately name some obscure Floyd song as the greatest purely to be an elitist.

[whitelightning]

everyone should take another look at pink floyds piper at the gates of dawn it is one of their greatest albums thanks to syd barrett

[Kingofdudes]

Everyone should read through this whole thread, or at least the latest posts.

[thelizardkingcc]

i think that one of their long songs has to be their "greatest" which is truly immeasurable, but if i were to choose which one was the "most great" in terms of grandeur or something like that, it would be echoes or shine on you crazy diamond... absolutely musical masterpieces.

[~The*Lemon*Song~]

I think it has something to do with insecurity. Or else just generally being moronic. It doesn't make you cool to like obscurities. I hate the people who say DSotM and The Wall were crap compared to say, Atom Heart Mother :angry:

It's like people saying Led Zeppelin is overrated, or that the Yardbirds were (when Pagey was in) better than Zep.

I like Sheep off of Animals...cause that's what people are...follow the shephard everyone. Pigs (3 diff ones) is great as well. I wonder if Mary is someone Waters dated?

I voted for Floyd as well...even though Zep is my favourite band, I still think Pink Floyd was the most original, unbeatable, and just all around superior band.

[Brooksyd2]

Yeh I saw that Listy, had me in stitches, looks a lot different nowadays though doesnt he, although i guess thats to be expected!

By the way my favourite Floyd album would have to be DSOTM, probably because that was the first album I listened to! But every album of theirs I have listened to is absolutely incredible, and I have listened to a lot! My favourite single song would have to be either SOYCD or Echoes, although at the minute I have San Tropez playing, cool song! With that in mind I have to agree with whoever said it first, that Floyd are better when listening to whole albums, I find it hard to listen to just one song and not the whole album!

[Jude]

Mary is almsot certainly not someone Waters dated, that wouldn't fit the album at all. I think it's some politician's wife, IIRC.

I can't believe people skip such large parts of Echoes. I can understand skipping from about 10 minutes to 14 minutes, although I never could (it would ruin the flow of the song for me) but from 15 minutes to the end is the best music I've ever heard...starting from the pings coming back in...

[DeusExMachina]

It's like people saying Led Zeppelin is overrated, or that the Yardbirds were (when Pagey was in) better than Zep.

Well, I don't consider myself an elitist, and I do like Led Zeppelin, but I also think they're overrated. I'm not trying to be "cool" or "unique" when I say that, I just think that, on this forum especially, they're treated like God's gift to man. They're really good stuff and all, one of my favorite bands, but I don't think they hold a candle to The Beatles or Pink Floyd.

[weatherman123]

i dont think you can, or should compare zeppelin and floyd
you can talk about specific things in comparison, but generalized, no
anyways, i was going to ask people this
maybe it seems like a stupid question, but is it true that contrary to popular belief, watters gilmour mason and wright didnt experiment with acid often?

[Riva]

While I'm not sure about Gilmour, Mason and Wright, I am pretty sure that Waters experimented with more than just acid in his career.

[~The*Lemon*Song~]

Pink Floyd claims to not have been a drug orientated band, or more like Gilmour does. He says so in the DSOTM video...he also says you can trust them on that. Now, I listen to "set the controls for the heart of the sun" and I'm thinking...hmm? But then again, they were just an all out experimental band. Besides who give two ****s about wether they did drugs or not? No one questions the Beatles on that matter. It's just sad that people think Floyd is stoner music and it's cool because of that.

Here's something intresting I read...I'm not sure if it's true, but that sucks for them
Discrimination anyone? (http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Number=293013516)

[Rebal69]

Has anyone heard of "Dub Side of the Moon" by Easy Side Allstars. It is a Reggae version of Dark Side of the Moon and it is pretty good and accurate. I recamond checking it out if you like Floyd and Reggae. It's Worth it. Or at least i think so

Here's something intresting I read...I'm not sure if it's true, but that sucks for them
Discrimination anyone? (http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Number=293013516)


Gilmour, Wright, and Mason weren't heavy into drugs. However, Roger said that he and syd barrett "enjoyed rock & roll, drugs, danger, and sex, in that order." Also, there's all the stories about the band having to put down $5000 every time they went to a hotel, to pay for any damage waters might cause while on an acid trip.

As for that article, looks like a load of crap to me.

[the mighty zep]

I believe it. But i think the odds of just an old rusted 70s car would be the same of having drugs with or without a zeppelin bumper sticker.

And i hate that crap about people disliking floyd because their a stoner band or only stoners listen to them. I would like them to name their favorite bands and i think itd be pretty obvious about 90% of all classic rock bands did drugs. If they can even make music that good with or without drugs...theres an obvious sing of greateness here. Dont bash on stoner bands, because they can be wrecked and still have a better musical career then any one of us

[funk_rock_jazz_drummer]

pigs ( three differant kinds) is just a melodic masterpiece

[Kingofdudes]

Every other post in that dang classic rock poll: "lolz pink floyd isnt teh classic rock"

Retards...

[Det_Nosnip]

Well, they aren't really "classic rock," they were doing their own thing that happened to correspond with the same time period. They're prog or art rock, really.

[Kingofdudes]

Classic Rock as I see it, is memorable, influential music, that has been able to stand the test of time. And Floyd has been able to do that.

[the mighty zep]

floyd defintaly is classic rock, though their genre is prgressive/art/phycedelia rock.

[weatherman123]

Classic Rock as I see it, is memorable, influential music, that has been able to stand the test of time. And Floyd has been able to do that.

that is a beautiful definition
i have a classic rock radio show at my school, and i hate when people tell me certain music isnt classic rock because it was too 'tripped out', 'not real rock' etc

[no_talent]

i hate the term "classic rock"

[Broken Arrow]

i hate the term "classic rock"

For what reason???

[Syncratic]

Pink Floyd is PURE FREAKIN' CLASSIC ROCK! I'm listening to Comfortably Numb as we speak...listen to it and tell me you don't like Floyd!

[Riva]

Ok people, the time has come. Pink Floyd and Led Zep are facing off in the finals. I know this is going to seriously test some loyalties, but I am certain the Floyd will prevail in the end. Just make sure you vote for them.







fake accounts made to vote will* be accepted







*will not

The poll is up now.

$5000, it's like what you put down when you rent an apartment with a really big dog. Poor guy, treated like an animal. Oh well, who cares about him anyways? He's only Roger Waters.

I'm hoping it's a hoax, but I guess only people of that area would know.

[Frodo]

I have The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were Here, Animals, The Wall, and Pulse. They are indeed my favourite group ever. Interesting thread as well, I've learned some more PF trivia.

Oh, and D'boon thanks for the 'Murder' recommendation, its fantastic.

[DeusExMachina]

If anyone wants some interesting Pink Floyd trivia, go to http://www.mojo4music.com/html/floyd_answers.shtml It's the answers to a quiz in Mojo magazine, interesting stuff.

[weatherman123]

question:
didnt waters' girlfriend or wife or some sort of significant other sing on ummagumma?

[~The*Lemon*Song~]

Which song? I don't recall a femine voice on that album...Waters didn't get married until alot later.

[lunch998]

This is late, but Mary Whitehouse, in Pigs(Three Different Ones), was a person in England fighting for Censorship and she had attacked Pink Floyd on a few occasions.

Im not sure about that one, maybe you should check out the line-up for all the parts in the album and see if anyone else is featured as other vocals. Not something a yahoo search couldnt find out.

I know for a fact that Gilmours girlfriend wrote alot of the lyrics in the album Division Bell. About 30 years off topic, but still relevant.

and we need more people to vote for Floyd in the Ultimate classic rock band, their getting crushed by these n00b "Led ZePpelin Rox!" people. Anyone who hasnt voted yet, get out there and vote! I promise itll only take 15 seconds out of your day.

let people vote what they think, not what you want them to think.

[~The*Lemon*Song~]

yes, and they think to vote floyd.
Coze if they don't *shakes angry fist* :D

[weatherman123]

well i was looking at ummagumma on vinyl, and there was a lady beside waters and my friend said she sang on a song...i think its written down in there too, but i dont own it and i havent been able to verify if this is indeed true
anyways....has anybody grabbed the MOJO floyd special?

[Schyma]

Ummagumma sux except for the live songs

[weatherman123]

i disagree, but to each his own
ummagumma is a great listen in my opinion

[Riva]

Ummagumma is great, but I only have it on tape.

I'm listening to Waiting For The Worms again. I love the melody for this song.

[lunch998]

My favorite Pink Floyd song right now is One of These Days.

By the way, the Cover of Ummagumma is so cool, and the picture of all their gear lined up.

[abdab67]

Piper at the Gates of Dawn is my favorite album. Oh, and Syd did'nt mean anything with the title, its just one of the names of the chapters in The Wind and the Willows.

[abdab67]

Also I agree with the one guy, Ummagumma's studio stuff is complete garbage yet the live stuff is great.

[DeusExMachina]

I've got the MOJO Floyd special. Lemme look it up, and I'll post the answer.

[Kingofdudes]

I need to order that MOJO

Best version of Welcome ot the Machine is the one of Roger's In the Flesh cd :thumb:
I recommend a listen of it.

[lunch998]

I recommend getting Obscured By Clouds, it is so horribly underrated. A must for true Floyd fans.

[DeusExMachina]

Doesn't say.

[Kingofdudes]

Does anyone know if Richard Wright has any other bands or solo projects after Pink Floyd? I want to check out some of his stuff.

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah. He has some solo works. I know on the David Gilmour DVD, they perform a song off his solo album with Rick Wright singing.

[Kingofdudes]

Yeah. He has some solo works. I know on the David Gilmour DVD, they perform a song off his solo album with Rick Wright singing.

Yeah, that song is what sparked my interest into his solo stuff.

[lunch998]

I never knew anything about his solo stuff.

[DeusExMachina]

I don't know much about it, but it sounds interesting.

[Led Guitar]

Goodbye Blue Sky is a creepy song.

[DeusExMachina]

I love Goodbye Blue Sky.

[darkslide]

everyone knows Pink Floyd is arguably one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time.... but everyone has a different opinion why, and because of what songs.....

The songs that I love more than any Floyd are the following:

1. Echoes
2. Time
3. Dogs
4. Have A Cigar
5. Julia's Dream
6. Wish You Were Here
7. Us & Them
8. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

All of these are brilliant, and if you haven't heard one, you should.

[Riva]

Goodbye Blue Sky is an awesome song.

And KoD, Wright has two solo albums; Wet Dream and Broken China. I have a few tracks I'll send ya next time I'm on AIM.

[DeusExMachina]

Is Wright's solo stuff good? I really liked the song on the DVD.

[Kingofdudes]

meh AIM transfers dont work for me, do you have gmail?

[ledpoisoning27]

Pink Floyd named themselves after two blues musicians: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council (this was back when they used to play bluesy stuff). So none of the the band memebers are pink or floyd

Really i thought Pink was the singer in there band and floyd was the guitarist. :confused:

[fleakeepr666]

My fave Floyd songs have got to be:

1. Money ( I know it's kind of overrated but I still love it.)
2. Another Brick in the Wall
3. Time
4. Echoes
5. Comfortably Numb

[I'mhungryForASandwich]

Pink Floyd rocks

[PaleEnchanter]

i love every album by Pink Floyd except for Piper At the Gates of Dawn, the real pink floyd sound didnt emerge till A Saucerful of Secrets came out IMO. Dont get me wrong PATGD is a well created album but it was too reminiscent of the beatles.

i think Saucerful gave them David Gilmour so i think that is what completed the sound they needed to be great, saddly i think the departure of syd was what was needed for them.

My favorite songs are:
1. set the controls for the heart of the sun - a saucerful of secrets
2. remember a day - relics
3. see emily play - relics
4. keep talking - the devision bell
5. the fletcher memorial home - the final cut
6. brain damage - dark side of the moon
7. sorrow - momentary laps of reason
8. in the flesh - the wall
9. shine on you crazy diamond - wish you were here
10. several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and groovin with a pict. - works (this is a collection of their early works, but this first song, is just animal noises all jumbled up and mixed to sound like percussion instruments, its rather uh strange!)

[Riva]

Is Wright's solo stuff good? I really liked the song on the DVD.


Awesome. My favourite is a song called Mediterrainen C, which is an instrumental. Really haunting, yet melodic. Reminds me very much of his work with Floyd.

Dude, Led Zeppelin does rock, and im not trying to bash on them or nothing like that...but you cant deny all these n00bs do say stuff like that all the time. I would know, because before i came to these forums i was one of them. I just figured that you know...were in the Pink Floyd Thread...maybe some people here would want to vote for Floyd, but i guess i was wrong. I guess it doesnt really matter anymore because their getting crush by about 100 votes, so whatever. The better band won.

Any way, im still yet to get Ummagumma, since its pretty hard to come by here. That was their 2nd or 3rd album right? i believe it came out in 69, but im not sure. I really havent heard much of Barrets material, but i wont critisize it or praise it until i have a final opinion.

1. The Wall

3. Echoes
4. Comfortably Numb
5. Us and Them
6. Money
7. Time

and then the rest are too close to call.
btw: I find The Final Cut a very underated album, pick up the reissue if you have not heard it.

[MistyMountainHop]

95% of you guys dont know anything about Pink Floyd. All you mention is things off of The Wall or Darkside. That is only 15% of their career. Did you even know they had about 6 albums before darkside, and only the first had Syd (piper at the gates of dawn). They also had 3 albums after The Wall. In my opinion Darkside was alright and The Wall was nothing compared to other albums such as 'Meddle' with the epic song 'Echoes' at the end of the album. Another good album is Atom Heart Mother which is more trippy then darkside. The title track 'Atom Heart Mother' is comparable to the song 'Echoes'. By the way, i will say you arent a true Pink Floyd fan until youve seen the 1972 Live in Pompeii movie. Its the best Pink Floyd piece ive experienced.

Some other mentionable Pink Floyd songs:

Childhood's End (Obscured By Clouds)
A Saucerful Of Secrets (A Saucerful Of Secrets)
Fearless (Meddle)
Interstellar Overdrive (Piper At The Gates Of Dawn)

excuse me? dont say 95% of us don't know anything about pink floyd, you've been here for how long? maybe it appears that we only talk about DSOTM because we are currently having a DISCUSSION on it, so don't just jump in on us.

and Meddle is an amazing album, i really like One of These Days, and of course Echoes is my favourite.

last night i was listening to Interstellar Overdrive (while high) and for the first time i realized what genius that track is. i used to think it was just a bunch of noise, but finally i noticed just how much work and effort they put into it. simple amazing.

fair enough.

i really like Ummagumma. ya it came out in 69, its like half a live album half a studio album. i warn you, barret doesn't add a whole lot to this album (im sorry if that offends someone). but its still great.

and by the way...how do you guys pronounce ummagumma? i say it like um, but some people say oom.

You think your so smart because you are so different not liking the Wall and Darkside. Bravo! Seriously, you need to learn to stfu. If you like other work, thats good for you but we don't all share the same tastes. If you ask me, the Wall is far superior to Meddle, not because it's more popular, but because it has countless great songs (Mother, Nobody Home, Vera, One Of My Turns, Don't Leave Me Now, Waiting For The Worms, Outside The Wall, Goodbye Cruel World and the list goes on).

And if you did know something about Pink Floyd or just something about basic mathematics, you would know that The Wall + Darkside Of The Moon span much less than 15% of Pink Floyd's carreer, jackass.

btw: even gilmour called atom heart mother ****.

Yeah, I love Ummagumma, as I have said before. However I only have the tape version, which sucks, because the quality is running low. And I pronounce it um-ah-gum-ah. But then again, I'm aussie, so it might be different for other accents. :p

Please don't be an elitist. Sure some of these people might not know much about Pink Floyd. Sure some of them like DSOTM more than many of their other albums. But you know what?
WHO GIVES A FLYING ****, ARSEHOLE
At least they are enjoying discussing Pink Floyd, which you haven't done at all in this thread, and yet have the teremity to put others done.

What bullshit is this, that a true Floyd fan has to qualify by seeing a certain DVD. What if I said that a true Floyd fan has to own More: The soundtrack to the movie, on it's original tape? Everyone would call me a dickhead, which would be justified. If you are going to be a stupid elitist and try to make yourself feel like you know more about Floyd then any of us, you are wrong. There are at least three people on the forums who I know for certain are the biggest Floyd fans on MX.

Oh snap. N00b elitist :rolleyes:

You are an idiot. I have all of Floyd's albums, you know what, I still love the wall. I also like The Division Bell. There are tons of people here that know what they are talking about, far more than 5%. Who are you to judge, you joined within the last few days. Good qualification for a "true Pink Floyd fan" btw, seeing a movie makes you a true fan, and anyone who hasn't seen it isn't afan :rolleyes: Moron. Also, I have all of the songs mentioned above on my computer. I don't like them as much as oher stuff. The sound I like by Pink Floyd was not as defined on OBC or PATGOD. So I am less of a fan for liking their later stuff? No. Oh yeah, as far as released stuff goes, The Wall and DSoTM is far less than 15% of their releases, I can tell you are good at math. FYI, they had 7, not 6 albums before DSoTM. PATGOD, SoS, More, Ummagumma, AHM, Meddle, and OBC. I have the LED version of PULSE, do you? Probably not, since it was a limited edition release when the album came out. Doesn't that make me elite :rolleyes:

I really love an elitist n00b who doesn't even have his facts straight :thumb:

[lunch998]

OMG Im awsome becuz ive seen a movie and i have their early cds. wowzers, everyone else here sux.

People are so smart, it amazes me.

Aside from the spam, do some people own Obscured By Clouds? (No, I'm not trying to act like I'm a bigger fan than everyone here, because I'm not) I just find it very good, yet I never hear discussion about it.

And One of These Days is one of the coolest album-openers ever.

[Riva]

I do have Obscured By Clouds, but it's on tape. And One Of These Days live on Delicate Sound Of Thunder is fantastic.

first of all you cant even really consider The Wall a 100% Pink Floyd album, so your basically saying you like roger waters the best.

I do have OBC, not a bad album, but not my favorite. One of these days is pretty cool, but so is Speak to me...kinda like a synopsis of the whole album, plus the heartbeat thing is cool.

What's wrong with Roger Waters? Brilliant musician and songwriter if you ask me. His only problem was that his ego got in the way at around this time. (And a bit on Animals, as well.) He had a good run while it lasted though.

[MistyMountainHop]

Oh snap. N00b elitist :rolleyes:

You are an idiot. I have all of Floyd's albums, you know what, I still love the wall. I also like The Division Bell. There are tons of people here that know what they are talking about, far more than 5%. Who are you to judge, you joined within the last few days. Good qualification for a "true Pink Floyd fan" btw, seeing a movie makes you a true fan, and anyone who hasn't seen it isn't afan :rolleyes: Moron. Also, I have all of the songs mentioned above on my computer. I don't like them as much as oher stuff. The sound I like by Pink Floyd was not as defined on OBC or PATGOD. So I am less of a fan for liking their later stuff? No. Oh yeah, as far as released stuff goes, The Wall and DSoTM is far less than 15% of their releases, I can tell you are good at math. FYI, they had 7, not 6 albums before DSoTM. PATGOD, SoS, More, Ummagumma, AHM, Meddle, and OBC. I have the LED version of PULSE, do you? Probably not, since it was a limited edition release when the album came out. Doesn't that make me elite :rolleyes:

I really love an elitist n00b who doesn't even have his facts straight :thumb:

so if i sat here and had the most posts on a website, it would somehow make me a big pink floyd fan? ive spent multiple hours with each one of their albums and i doubt youve listened to half of them all the way through.

[Riva]

Please stop flaming in my thread. Take it elsewhere if you wanna get owned, but don't try to bs in a thread full of fans.

[lunch998]

Why do people who like Pink Floyd get pissed off at other people who like Pink Floyd? We all like Pink Floyd, that's why were here. If you know more than most about them, good for you. However the majority of people just like the music and come in here to add their thoughts about it every now and then. So let them enjoy Darkside and The Wall, while you feel smug about yourself because you're lisening to Atom Heart Mother.

Haha, of course not, but neither does seeing a certain concert. By the way, I congratulate you for another dumb post. Why would I own albums and not listen to half of them all the way through? Maybe we have :eek: different musical tastes! What a concept, you mean not everyone agrees on what is good? Oh my. I didn't claim to be a bigger fan because I have a higher post count, I was commenting on your newbness because most people who have been here awhile have learned not to try and be elitist assholes :thumb: I like how you didn't even bother to address the fact that you were wrong about their album count as well. I proved you wrong, and you didn't even acknowledge that. By being wrong I therefore proved you not to be as hot as you thought, you don't know every thing you think you do. Moreover, My play count in itunes for every Pink Floyd song ranges from 5 to 20 :thumb: My parents also raised me on it, so I can almost guarantee I have heard them more than you, since I have been listening to them for 18 years now :)

w3rd, lunch.

*high-fives*

Now, what do you reckon the best song off of Obscured By Clouds is?

[MistyMountainHop]

i just get mad becuase lots of people (and you know this) dont know anything beyond Wish You Were Here, Darkside, and The Wall. pink floyd just has way more music then that. some people try to seem hardcore when they arent. i wasnt directing it towards any specific person, but ive read some posts through out the thread and ive seen some pretty halarious replies.

[MistyMountainHop]

i didnt admit to my album count because i purposely didnt count ummagumma. and anyways, i thought getting the album count wrong by one was a pretty little thing to argue over.

[Riva]

Why not count Ummagumma?

Wow, thats excellent. Maybe they like what they have and just dont want any other FLoyd. Maybe Floyds other stuff doesnt apeal to them.

*Re High-fives*

I really like the way it starts, With Obscured By Clouds, and then I like When You're In a lot. What do you think?

[MistyMountainHop]

Why not count Ummagumma?

i dont really consider ummagumma a true full album, it was sorta more of a live album.

[Permanent Solution]

It had 2 CDs, 1 live, 1 album, how is that not an album...it isn't a 2 CD album, but it is still a full studio album.

yeah, but what you are missing is that the songs on the album are just noises/sound effects and not actual songs, did you even listen to it?

[Permanent Solution]

Some of them are, but not all of them are. The Narrow way in particular is not only sound effects. Either way though, the noise effects are done artfully and cohesively. Who said music must have drums, guitars, bass, and vocals? Music is art in sound, no more, no less. I don't know why that makes it less musical.

[Riva]

Ummagumma is a concept album, and I love it for that reasons. I don't try to compare it to a "normal" album.

And I really like the closer Absolutely Curtains, and Obscured By Clouds is a good one as well.

[Kingofdudes]

OMG IM NOT A TR00 FAN CAUSE I LIKE PINK FLOYDS DOSTM - WALL PHASE!??1//!

yeah, whatever

So Riva do you got gmail?

[peacefrog1201]

Careful with that axe eugene I believe has the most haunting lyrics.

[Riva]

So Riva do you got gmail?

Fine, I'll set up the account now. :p

[thickasabrick]

anyone else think that Pink Floyd created their best music when they all worked together? If you notice, some songs are just credited to Barret, or Gilmour and of course usually Waters, but a lot of their best credit the four main bandmembers (five if barret is still in the band)

take a look at the wall, just about all of the singles released (and the best songs IMO) were credited to Waters and Gilmour, not just Waters.

That's why i like DSOTM and Meddle alot, those were the days when they weren't too "cool" too work together for songs. eventually their egos got the best of them.

[Kingofdudes]

True, one of the reason why DSotM is so great is because of how all the instruments work together, watching the DVD you can tell they all had idea for the album.

Teamwork > Power Trip

[DeusExMachina]

But insulting people because they're not "real fans" isn't petty? I'm gonna try and not rip into you, as it seems others have already done their share, but for your own sake, tone down the ego. Where you live you may be some hotshot hardcore Pink Floyd fan, but that doesn't make you the alpha and omega and what constitues a "real" pink floyd fan. Oh, and for the record, I own almost all their albums, have been listening to them for years, love all of it, and Wish You Were Here is my favorite. Does that make me a poser?

To some extent I agree with you. However, according to an interview with David Gilmour, the only song on DSOTM that was a real "team effort" was Time. I think its less to do with all of them actively being involved with the creation, and more to do with being openminded to ideas and constructive criticisms of other members of the band.

[Orange Fog]

Christ Misty I used to be just like you. But I'm not anymore, thank god :chug:

I feel sorry for you that you just couldn't take the time to read at LEAST 2 pages of this thread and realize that MANY people have already mentioned albums like "Saucerful of Secrets" and "Meddle" countless times.

In truth, I have noticed that most people aren't mentioning stuff about DSTOM and The Wall because they're so popular there isnt much to say that nobody already knows.

[johnther]

Shine on would be an eerie song and the middle part of echoes

Pink Floyd probably has the best guitar player David Gilmour, because he shows you don't have play fast to be good you just gotta have heart.
(this is just my opinion)

[Riva]

I think with Pink Floyd, because they each buzzed with so much energy and musical creativity, it was hard for them to focus on one song in particular.

[PinkFloyd]

first of all you cant even really consider The Wall a 100% Pink Floyd album, so your basically saying you like roger waters the best.

I do like Waters the best. I consider him the greatest songwritter of all time. And The Wall is a Pink Floyd album. If you have the time, pick up the CD and look at the front label. It is clearly labeled Pink Floyd. Weather Waters was the main creative force or not, it is still labelled a Pink Floyd album and that's what is has gone down as in history. Using your way of thinking, no "Pink Floyd album" can be considered 100% Pink Floyd because in case you didn't notice in NO PINK FLOYD ALBUM is the amount of songwritting devided equally (meaning 25%,25%,25%,25% or 20%,20%,20%,20%,20%).

[Broken Arrow]

I was wonder which album you guys think is better?

Atom Heart Mother or Ummaguma(sp?)

I like Floyd alot and have most of their albums what should I buy next?

I have Animals
WYWH
DSOTM
The Wall
Meddle
PATGOD
and Saucerful or Secrets.

[the mighty zep]

Well u seem to have most of their early stuff. maybe youd like something after the wall, like Divison Bell '94, Final Cut '83, or Momentary Lapse of a Reason '86. But then again, most their earlier stuff is usually better in peoples opinions, like Ummagumma, Atom Heart Mother, or Relics.

For early stuff - ummagumma
For Later stuff - Division bell
