The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[BigTrav415]

I saw it at the store, but I'd never heard of it, so I didn't get it. I might now, I'm not gonna download it though

a)because I think anything good enough is worth buying
b)I'm running outta hard drive space on this compy :-/

I'm actually getting a tad bit, I guess the best word would be "used to", Floyd right now, I think I'll take a little time off them and listen to some other stuff right now so they don't go stale with me. Understand that I've been listeing to them almost non-stop for like 3 months now.

You could listen to a different band...

Or you could just buy a new Floyd cd and listen to that :thumb:

[Lunch]

It's unhealthy to listen to one band for a long period of time.

[standard]

obscured by clouds is very underrated.

You aren't kidding. Childhoods End is EASILY my favorite song right now. Very good song.

[robo2448]

I just got DSOT from my library :cool:

[magicbus]

You aren't kidding. Childhoods End is EASILY my favorite song right now. Very good song.

Has an amazing solo too.

its a classic.

OBC rules, plain and simple.

[Broken Arrow]

OBC rules, plain and simple.
Oh no doubt, I've been listening to it daily on viynl this week. So underated:(.

[moaner]

vinyl?

Wasn't there some kind of problem with the first cut?

On the LAP: director's cut, you can hear dave and Rick muttering about it, although its hard to catch exactly what they're saying.

[1One1]

Wall addict here.

I've been listening to The Wall since I was 3. Still listen to it at least once a week and love every second of it. Almost inspired me to take up bass so I could play along to 90% of the album, however Gilmour's bends are very persuasive.

[Riva]

Yeah, the Wall is fairly good. I also share the love for OBC. Something about that album just makes me feel great when I listen to it.

[DeusExMachina]

I don't have OBC

/embarassed

Magicbus, I liked your playing. PinkFloyd's critique is a lot more thorough than mine could be, so I won't bother giving any criticism. But, I liked it.

Thanks man :thumb:

Yesterday I listened to Ummagumma disc 1 and Meddle. I forgot how good those albums really were.

I should get Ummagumma. OBC is awesome. So is Meddle.

[clairvoyant]

I haven't heard any of those yet albums, all I have is Dark Side of the Moon, Division Bell, and Echoes: the best of...

:(

Get The Wall or Wish You Were Here next. Then get Animals and maybe a live cd like Pulse.

[dustyboy316]

Get The Wall or Wish You Were Here next. Then get Animals and maybe a live cd like Pulse.

Agreeed, DSOTM, WYWH, The Wall and Animals are the 4 must have albums of PF IMO.

[Kreator2112]

yea i have ds wywh and the wall, ive heard all of them, probably buy the final cut next

[Shazzam]

IMO, the most important Floyd albums, in order, are as follows.

1. Meddle
2. The Wall
3. WYWH
4. DSOTM
5. Animals

[Shazzam]

yea i have ds wywh and the wall, ive heard all of them, probably buy the final cut next

I don't think the Final Cut is as strong as other Floyd albums. It's decent, but just not there best work.

If you liked The Wall alot, then I'd reccomend Animals. If you liked WYWH and Dark Side more, then I'd go with Meddle.

[Distant Echoes]

I felt the Final Cut was there worst. It was slow, boring, and unevertful the whole way through. Not one song caught my attention.

Id actually recommend floyd albums to people in order from 73 - DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, The Wall. Goes from their album which they perfected their style, to mellow passionate rock, to more hard, satanic stuff, then into an album which sort of has a bit of each...but the tracks dont blend together as well. Rock Opera style is responsible for that...but after them 4, Id recommend some material late 60s/early 70s.

[temporary]

I felt the Final Cut was there worst. It was slow, boring, and unevertful the whole way through. Not one song caught my attention.

Yeah, I agree. The only track on it that I really like wasn't even on it originally (When The Tigers Broke Free.)

[Prince of Darkness]

IMO, the most important Floyd albums, in order, are as follows.

1. Meddle
2. The Wall
3. WYWH
4. DSOTM
5. Animals

Mine differs a bit...

1. The Wall
2. Animals
3. Meddle
4. DSOTM
5. WYWH

"The vocals are little more than rhythmic monologue" - moaner

[Shazzam]

I was very surprised when I went to FYE today. THey actually had just about every floyd album out there, and then some. I've never seen Ummugumma, Relics, Works, Is There Anybody Out There?, Obscured By Clouds, or More at a store before. They also had a Bluegrass tribute (?!) to Pink Floyd, which I should have bought.

[Danger Bird]

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the best Floyd album I've ever heard.

[TerryThorne]

Whats everyones favorite era of Floyd? I like the early years at the moment

[Lunch]

I wish I was creative and cool enough to say their early years, but honestly I think 1973-1979. Or maybe 1971-1977.

[Arrakakaka]

FYE has a great selection, usually.

[PinkFloyd]

71-83

[PinkFloyd]

About the vocals, that record has some killer vocal melodies. A gunners dream for example, the melody is genius. Just listen to the way the notes follow each other and how the melody is drawn out but yet fits perfectly. THR's melody and OTTF are very good aswell.

[MBS]

Why'd you take out the "In the form of a scroll..." in your usertitle, PinkFloyd?

When the Tigers Broke Free is such a great song, you can really tell how Roger feels about his father's death.

[clairvoyant]

I've noticed that in some Pink Floyd songs there are these "moments" that really stick out in my head whenever I think of the song, like in Another Brick In The Wall Pt.2, when Dave's guitar line is in and then Roger shouts "HEY! TEACHER!...etc", and then Dave's last line in Comfortably Numb before the guitar solo, and of course the outro solo to Sorrow.

Anyone else have these..."moments"?

[PinkFloyd]

Because it's abstract. Besides the fact that it's a good descriptive build.

[moaner]

69-77 are the most important years for me.

[Ulysses]

TEACHER!...etc", and then Dave's last line in Comfortably Numb before the guitar solo, and of course the outro solo to Sorrow.

Anyone else have these..."moments"?

The crescendo type intro at the beginning of the instrumental song "Marooned", when the guitar hits and holds that high note, I can listen to that over and over, one of my favourite Pink Floyd pieces, evokes so much emotion in the guitar melody.

[DeusExMachina]

My favorite era of floyd is probably Meddle to the Wall. So, 71-79 or so. But, I like pretty much all of it.

I agree with PinkFloyd about The Gunner's Dream, that song is really great. But, most of the album I really don't like.

[Broken Arrow]

69-77 are the most important years for me.
Same for me.

Anyone else have these..."moments"?

Yeah, in Comfortably Numb when Gilmour starts hitting the high notes at the end, when Mason flows perfectly from his solo into the first verse of time and Waters sings "digging away..." and when Gilmour sings: "Forever and ever!" and the slide guitar comes in on High Hopes.

I wish I could be original, but my favorite Floyd period is 1971-'79.

[Schyma]

Everything between PATGOD and Meddle was sub par to bad. I really enjoy their mellow psychedelic prog era (as does everyone) and everyone knows what I think of Syd's years.

I really hate to compare those 2 eras even though Syd's era is better. It was more original, more creative and the most psychedelic music ever heard. I'm not saying latter era couldn't be original or creative (because it was!) but you just can't compare with Syd's psychedelic imagery and spaced out music. It was as if he was trying to communicate with another universe just amazing amazing music.

me = minority :(

[magicbus]

My favorite era was earlier stuff, but not the earliest. Like 1970-1973.

[Whale and Wasp]

i like 1967 - 1979 the best...

i was wondering, if you labeled each pink floyd album as "most ____", what would it be?

i would label it as...
piper at the gates of dawn - most fun to listen to
a saucerful of secrets - most mysterious-sounding
ummagumma - most experimental
more - :( not familiar with it yet
zabriskie point - :( not familiar with it either
atom heart mother - most unique
meddle - most relaxing
obscured by clouds - most funky-sounding (bahh i cant explain it)
dark side of the moon - most poignant
wish you were here - most depressing
animals - most angry
the wall - most captivating
the final cut - least variety (i couldnt think of a "most")
momentary lapse of reason - most happy-sounding
the division bell - :( not familiar with it either

[robo2448]

zabriskie point - :( not familiar with it either

Is this a bootleg? I know you said you're not familar with it, but I've never even heard of it.

[Whale and Wasp]

Is this a bootleg? I know you said you're not familar with it, but I've never even heard of it.
its another one of their soundtracks

[DeusExMachina]

The Final Cut = Most Monotonous.
The Division Bell = Most Instrumentally awesome.

[Lunch]

PATGOD - Most psychedelic
AHM - Most experimental

I don't feel like thinking of any more.

[zetabossio]

Amlor=deeply
The Divission Bell=melancolic
The Wall=depresive
Dsotm=psycodelic
Atom Heart Mother=crazy
Wywh=melancolic

[zetabossio]

Look what Gilmour said about syd barret and i think he is wright:

"It's sad that these people think he's such a wonderful subject, that he's a living legend when, in fact, there is this poor sad man who can't deal with life or himself. He's got uncontrollable things in him that he can't deal with and people think it's a marvellous, wonderful, romantic thing. It's just a sad, sad thing, a very nice and talented person who's just disintegrated."

yeah, good quote.

Wright :rolleyes:

[BigTrav415]

I've been working on SOYCD today on guitarra, it's easier than it sounds but still kind of hard. It's one of the most things I've played yet though :thumb: :smoke:

Hmm... album most ______'s.... well, my knowledge of Floyd albums is limited at best compared to other posters in here, but here's what I've heard.

Meddle - Most trance-inducing (in a good way :smoke: )
Dark Side of the Moon - Most transitional (many meanings for that I guess)
Wish You Were Here - Most breath-taking (my breath has been taken many times by that album)
Animals - Most rockin' \:)/
The Wall - Most melancholy

[WheepingGuitar39]

My favorite Floyd era is
1967-2005.

Althought I didnt really like the 1995-2005 era too much..
2005 was a great year though ;)

[perfect_isolation]

ummagumma is my favourite album. live at pompeii = my fav concert
1. Careful With That Axe, Eugene
2. A Saucerful of Secrets
3. Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun
4. Echoes
top songs on my list

[Ulysses]

Yeah, Live at Pompeii is fantastic, it would also be my favourite concert. I bought the DVD a few months back, great tracks and the Gong with the sun setting in the background, great atmosphere and very surreal in imagery and of course sound.

[Deathtoall99]

concept albums striaght up own, and I love how on most of Floyd's albums, the end of track one blends well with the start of track 2 and so on.

Ya Live at pompeii is terrific... quite possibly the best concert idea ive ever seen
ofcourse, its not exactly a concert.

Me and my dad (whos in a local blues band and is a bit synical of pink floyds music) were watching the concert and we both noticed something
In a few scenes you can see people sitting on the rocks watching the concert
Are these crew members of perhaps just people passing by, getting a free show? HOW AWSOME WOULD THAT BE!?
not just to see them live, but to see them play some excellent ambient jams in an ancient greek theatre.

Roman, actually, but yeah that would be kickass.

Heres my most ___ list for some albums:

Piper At the Gates of Dawn: Most Psycodelic
Meddle: Most defining
Dark Side of the Moon: Most well known
Wish You Were Here: Most breathtaking (got that one from BigTrav415)
Animals: Most progressive
The Wall: Most awesome

Nice. But yeah, 1995-2005 was a bit of a dry spell... hopefully it'll end soon.

[moaner]

Everything between PATGOD and Meddle was sub par to bad.

Albums, or songs?

A saucerful of secrets live off ummagumma is a great song, and the ummagumma live CD is very good, if a little short.

"Jugband blues" is a good song, too.

[Schyma]

I don't like any of the albums between those 2 albums. I mean there were good songs but the albums in general weren't very good.

Yes, "Jugband Blues" is AMAZING!!!!

[moaner]

Meddle: Most defining
Dark Side of the Moon: Most well known
Wish You Were Here: Most breathtaking (got that one from BigTrav415)
Animals: Most progressive
The Wall: Most awesome

Weak, dude :p Most Awesome. Perhaps most ambitious; Double album, concept album, made with movie etc

[BigTrav415]

I actually think I'll change my The Wall ____ to "Most emotional" It really just invokes so many feelings in you listening to it, like WYWH... I personally believe my best piece of advice to any Floyd newbie is to buy an album, wait till like midnight, then listen to it in bed with your headphones turned up like all the way. That has to be the best way to listen to any Floyd album, especially Meddle, WYWH, and the Wall.

NP: Pink Floyd - Vera

[moaner]

most OTT - the wall

[BigTrav415]

most OTT - the wall
OTT? Over the top by chance? I would agree with that partially, but personally I believe that DSotM was the most OOT (if that's what it means :p ). It was like nothing before it, and just amazing and exaggerated and every other good thing to describe an album :D

[Endless Obsession]

Obsessed with Hey You for the moment.

[moaner]

OTT? Over the top by chance? I would agree with that partially, but personally I believe that DSotM was the most OOT (if that's what it means :p ). It was like nothing before it, and just amazing and exaggerated and every other good thing to describe an album :D

yeah, over the top.

I'd say dark side of the moon wasn't that OTT, it was an album that everybody could relate to.

[standard]

Nice. But yeah, 1995-2005 was a bit of a dry spell... hopefully it'll end soon.

In '95 Pulse came out. What an amazing live album.

[kitarist]

Right on. Wish You Were Here is definately my favorite Pink Floyd album. I especially like the keyboard solos in Welcome to the Machine.

[moaner]

that song always really bored me. :)

[Distant Echoes]

I transcribed the keyboard solo at the end fo guitar...it's actually quite simple, only about a page in legnth. Getting the sound though, different story.

Welcome to the Machine is my favorite song on the album, but only when Im listning to the album. Hearing it single also seems boring and pointless.

Can you post it?

[temporary]

Really? I love that song.

Yeah, same here. I love Waters erie vocals, and the keyboards are phenomenal.

[Distant Echoes]

Alright, Im gonna try to attach it, which usually doesnt work, so if not Ill just post it.

One of the few transciptions Ive made for Floyd...Next to The Sax solo's in DSOTM and the Vocal Solo in Great Gig. I love that one, but still am perfecting the tone changes.

This one is still mildly a rough draft, so any corrections you see just mention. It'll occupy the thread for a few more posts...

Enjoy!

[DeusExMachina]

Awesome, thanks for the solo! You should put up the sax solos and the vocal solos. That would be ridiculously cool.

[Distant Echoes]

Thanks. I tend not to share the vocals solo...its my only source of pride.

I may eventually post the sax solo. I believe it's possible to get the one for Us and Them elsewere though, but I havent checked. I could imagine it's hard to do though...theres certain parts in Money that are challenging, but the rest is a breeze.

If anybody has any other ways to play the Welcome keyboard solo, please share. Specifically the sound...I could Imagine youd need a wah for some expression, a touch of delay, comp, and maybe some distortion; but the tone construction is out of my reach. All comments are welcome!

[BigTrav415]

I've just realized how cool of a song Any Colour You Like is. Such awesome guitar... it's just an insanely groovy and trippy song. I can't believe I never appreciated it much till now.

NP: Pink Floyd - One of These Days :cool:

[skynyrd73]

good to see this thread is still going strong..any comments on The Final Cut? Most people wither say its ok, love it, or hate it, me, i love it. i think its there best album thats in the closest form to a story. its just so personal and the vocals/instrumentals amaze me. and oh yeah i love that sax especialy! :chug:

[DeusExMachina]

I don't like The Final Cut (as anyone who has posted in this thread much will attest to). However, there are a couple tracks on it I love, particularly The Gunner's Dream and Your Possible Pasts. Mostly, I think it's just the dregs of The Wall.

[BigTrav415]

I was just looking at the group picture in the Meddle booklet, I have to say all of them look good with long hair except for Waters. He looks kind of freaky actually... sorry I'm wasting server space with crap posts like this, I'm just bored as hell.

[Shazzam]

Yeah Waters has a huge nose...

Wright looks like a completely differnt person in Live In Pompei though, I almost didn't recognize him at first.

[marmalade_skies]

Hey, distant echoes, thanks for the keyboard solo. I've gotta go learn to play it now. :D

In case anybody doesnt know, I know all of Wish you were here album and DSOTM on guitar, so i do have the right to make comments...dispite popular belief :p

I dispise the final cut, but i hate talking about it too. The topic is brought up too much.

dude, i mean comon. if you wanna experoence all of Floyd you have to listen to every album. theres albums i love, and albums im not that fond of, but i dont just block it out. I mean despite nearly everyones oppinion in here most likely, i think Dark Side of The Moon is an amazing album, but albums like Animals and Obscured by Clouds are right up there if not tied with.

I've listened to every album but The Final Cut, I don't think I'll mind missing out on one. And I know how great OBC is.

[Distant Echoes]

If it were my choice, i wouldve never heard the final cut either, and im undoubtadly one of the biggest floyd fans here (lets not start a competition). I purchased all their albums, but right now just dont have More. Im not is a rush to get it either.

OBC is good, but too poppy. Doesnt sound like the floyd style, especially between Meddle and DSOTM

i love final cut, i mean i spin in circles singing and it seems like the almbus is over in 10 minutes. and about the great OBC, i find that album so relaxing and just..woh..haha good stuff. youve got the very relaxed like spinny music in it, just plain out awsome but weird, then some old fashioned Classic Rock with The Gold is in the... i mean you never realy here Floyd like that, just wow man i BOW to Floyd..

[Riva]

I love Obscured by Clouds whole-heartedly. It may be poppy, but it is still a great listen.

[standard]

I've listened to every album but The Final Cut, I don't think I'll mind missing out on one. And I know how great OBC is.

It's worth a listen. It's comparable to dsotm. It's such a good album, and people are like "Oh I'm a true Floyd fan, I won't listen to it because it's not the whole band".. **** that. It's such a good album. Lyrically probally their best work, it's deep. The solos are AMAZING, epic, although none of them are too long. The sax solos, all that good stuff. It's a good listen, I recommend every atleast give it a go. It's the album that got me into PF.

Although I respect your opinion, I think the Final Cut has the worst lyrics of any Floyd album.

There are a few ok songs though, I especially like The Hero's Return.

[standard]

Atleast someone has respect for opinions. :)

Well I say that for songs like Two Suns In The Sunset.

"The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset"

The song is about the atom bombs on Japan.

Maybe I like it so much because the lyrics connect with a lot of WW2, which Waters' father did die in.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I happen to enjoy "The Final Cut" (the song) quite a bit.

[Whale and Wasp]

I personally thing its a real shame that The Final Cut turned out as poorly as it did. I really think the idea is a great one.

That's how I connect with ABITW Part 1.

The lyrics in that song are so powerful, and the endless ocean of delay is so mysteriously haunting.

"Daddy flew, across the ocean"

"Leaving just, a memory"

[Lunch]

ABitW parts 1 and 3 > part 2.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

ABitW parts 1 and 3 > part 2.

True.

[robo2448]

ABitW parts 1 and 3 > part 2.

Lyrically, I'd have to agree. Musically, I've got to go with Part 2, even if it is a n00b song.

[BigTrav415]

I think I have finally made my list of my Top 10 Favorite Floyd songs of all time. (Out of Meddle, DSotM, WYWH, Animals, and The Wall) I'll say a bit about why after each song.


10) Sheep
This is my favorite song off Animals, barely beating Dogs. I think what I like about it is Gilmour's awesome guitar riffs, Wright's great effects and keyboard, and Roger's great bassline and vocals. But easily the best part of it is the epic outro riff by Gilmour. It's just insane... Gilmour will always be my favorite guitarist :)

9) Fearless
Pretty much just a really great song. A beautiful, light guitar tone, an uplifting bridge riff, fun imaginative lyrics by Gilmour, generally just an awesome song. Great to listen to when you're feeling down :)

8) Astronomy Domine
Yeah, it's not on the albums I listed above. I've never actually heard the entirety of PATGOD, just this song. It's just a really groovy, trippy song, with off-center lyrics in Syd's affable English monotone. Just a cool song :)

7) One of These Days
One of the most rocking songs I've ever heard in my life. Starts out with a heavy bass note echoed over and over, then joined by another bass, with some well timed effects, up to the drum-guitar break-in, with some great slide guitar by Gilmour. And a huge rise up to the infamous Mason lyric "One of these days/I'm gonna cut you into little pieces", then bursting into an all-out fast jam, with Gilmour and Wright leading with great playing by both. Just a rockin' song :)

6) Nobody Home
This may seem kind of an oddball pick, but it's definitely one of my favorite songs off The Wall. It's just so simplistic; great bluesy lyrics, great piano, great everything... it's one of the only songs of The Wall that doesn't have a million effects on it, but still stands out in my mind very well. When I used to sit in my bed at night and listen to The Wall, this song would just give me goosebumps from its greatness. Definitely one of the most underappreciated Floyd songs.

5) Echoes
This song had grown on me a whole lot. When I first downloaded it, I never really listened to it, and I never did until I bought Meddle. It struck me as a good song, but not one of the best. But as I listened more and more, I really started to appreciate it more. It's a song you just can't describe I guess... it's just... good :)

4) Wish You Were Here
Who doesn't like this song? One thing about music is that often when you hear a song, it reminds you of something... or someone... this song definitely reminds me of my old science teacher. he was a Floyd fan too, but we never really talked about them at all... I knew this was one of his favorite songs by them, and I think of him everytime I hear it. It's just such a beautiful song anyway... brings many emotions to you... one of Floyd's best, easily :)

3) Time
This is mostly because it is my dad's favorite Floyd song. It was at his house one fateful weekend when I first heard "Dark Side of the Moon", on vinyl, the same vinyl my dad and his buddies in college wore to the nub by playing so much. I say it's a fateful weekend because A) I pretty much discovered Pink Floyd and B) because it was when my dad told me he was getting remarried. I met the woman he was marrying two weeks before they married, and she lived 2 1/2 hours away. We listened to DSotM on tape on the way down and on the way back. It's just a memory that sticks so much in your mind...

2) Brain Damage
This is my 2nd favorite Floyd song, by a very close margin, for a few reasons. It was literally the first Floyd song I'd ever heard. It was the first song I ever learned on my guitar. It was the song during which my dad told me he was getting remarried. Of course the song itself is great, but its position on my list is partly because of its meaning in my own life. But that's what music is about, isn't it :)


and.... my favorite Floyd song ever...












1) Shine on You Crazy Diamond
Where do I start with this song... I guess I'll start when I first heard it, on my class trip last year to the mountains of North Carolina. I bought WYWH while I was down there, and listened to it when we walked back from the mall to our hotel room. I remember just listening to it and being completely amazed by it, and the entire album. But I think the main reason that this song is my favorite is that it has the strongest tie to imagery in my mind than any other song... Whenever I hear this song, I think vividly of riding the old train through the mountains, stopping in Bryson City, one of my favorite places ever. I remember staying up 'till 2:30 in the morning playing poker with my closest friends. And, most of all, I remember the breath-taking beauty of the Appalachian Mountains, and whenever I hear this song, I feel like I'm there again... I guess it's good that I have such a good memory tied to such a good song :)


Well, that was my list. I don't really care what you say, comment if you want, whatever.

[PinkFloyd]

I love The Final Cut.

[MBS]

I forgot how much of a masterpiece The Wall was, the theme of depression and insanity always kind of turned me off from it, but musically it's genius.

Roger's verse in Hey You is absolute perfect, because in the story, Pink just realized his wall was too high and just Roger's voice matches the perfect tone of desperation.

It's great.

NP: Is There Anybody Out There?

[marmalade_skies]

What does NP stand for?

Everyone keeps putting "NP:" and then a Floyd song after it. Can somebody help me out?

[Rothmans]

What does NP stand for?

Everyone keeps putting "NP:" and then a Floyd song after it. Can somebody help me out?

It means now playing.

[magicbus]

It means "Now Playing". For instance:

np: A new Floyd bootleg I just downloaded thanks to WelcomeToTheMachine's link above.

I listened to 3 Floyd bootlegs last night :cool:

/hooked on bootlegs.

[clairvoyant]

NP: High Speed Dirt - Megadeth

Anyways, I finally got Animals and wow...Pigs (Three Different Ones) and Sheep are just...wow...awesome. The whole album is great.

[Riva]

NP: High Speed Dirt - Megadeth

Anyways, I finally got Animals and wow...Pigs (Three Different Ones) and Sheep are just...wow...awesome. The whole album is great.

Yeah, but I prefer Dogs and the bookends Pigs On The Wing 1 & 2 over the other two. It's an all round brilliant album though. Glad you liked it.

[Rothmans]

I know this is probably over talked but does anyone remember the first time they heard pink floyd?

I remember a friend gave me DSOTM and I remember saying "is this ever gonna ****ing start?

Then I hestitantly downloaded The Wall and when teh first riff came in to In The Flesh? I knew I fell in love.

[Dragon_Prince]

Someone let me hear WYWH the song, I liked it, 2 years later someone always talk 'bout Floyd so I listened to DSOTM and I thought it sucked, but a few months later I loved it

[thunderzstruck]

6) Nobody Home
This may seem kind of an oddball pick, but it's definitely one of my favorite songs off The Wall. It's just so simplistic; great bluesy lyrics, great piano, great everything... it's one of the only songs of The Wall that doesn't have a million effects on it, but still stands out in my mind very well. When I used to sit in my bed at night and listen to The Wall, this song would just give me goosebumps from its greatness. Definitely one of the most underappreciated Floyd songs.

Hey, another Nobody Home fan! I really love the song, and I didn't know anyone else did. Nice write up on the songs. The part when Waters sings: "...and I've got a strong erge to fly/but I've got nowhere to fly to...fly to...fly to." is amazing.

[robo2448]

I love the singing in Nobody Home. I listened to the Wall really late at night for the 2nd time last night. Not quite as freaky as the first time, but still cool.

[Broken Arrow]

My dad showed my "One of these Days" on Delicate Sound of Thunder VHS.

[robo2448]

I bought DSOTM, because all my friends said it was awesome. I remember hearing Speak to Me, and I was like, what the **** is this when I heard the heart beating. The first time I heard the cd, I only liked Time and Us And Them. Then I downloaded Wish You Were Here, which I really liked, and then I gave DSOTM a few more listens, and really got into Floyd.

[Lunch]

Here is my attempt at a top ten Floyd song list (in no order):
SOYCD (6-9)
Dogs
Hey You
Interstellar Overdrive
Eclipse
Sheep
Echoes
One of These Days
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
Astronomy Domine

[marmalade_skies]

I think I heard Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) on a Music Choice channel on my TV.

After that I heard a handful of some other songs on the radio and stuff and my brother ended up buying the wall, which was the first actual Floyd album I listened to.

[magicbus]

I heard DSOTM from a friend, and I was amazed. I couldn't believe it, I especially liked the vocals. It was just awesome hearing that for the first time.

[bibbl]

Hey, I was listening to clips of Piper at the Gates of Dawn and is it just me or do they sound like the beatles? That might have just been those little clips, but that was the first thing that popped into my head.

[courtney_killed_kurt]

I think I heard Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2) on a Music Choice channel on my TV


That was also the first Floyd song i heard and i decided to buy The Wall and it was the craziest cd's i'd ever heard, but then i listened to it a few more times and i realized how awesome it was.


A few months later i saw the movie The Wall which made very little sense to me.

[Whale and Wasp]

I know this is probably over talked but does anyone remember the first time they heard pink floyd?

I remember a friend gave me DSOTM and I remember saying "is this ever gonna ****ing start?

Then I hestitantly downloaded The Wall and when teh first riff came in to In The Flesh? I knew I fell in love.
well for most of my life ive only heard another brick in the wall pt 2, run like hell, time, and on the run.

then when i was 11 (2 years ago) i started listening to the rock station on the radio a lot and got introduced to brain damage/eclipse, mother, hey you, wish you were here, have a cigar, welcome to the machine, comfortably numb, and breathe.

then at the beginning of this summer i took a listen to PATGOD and became obsessed with it and it sparked a new series of obsessions over their other albums.....so basically im listening to album after album for the past 3 months and my obsession might possibly stop once i finish listening to every single album.

but i'll always love pink floyd

[Lunch]

Hey, I was listening to clips of Piper at the Gates of Dawn and is it just me or do they sound like the beatles? That might have just been those little clips, but that was the first thing that popped into my head.

It's just you, PATGOD reminds me very little of the Beatles.

[bibbl]

It's just you, PATGOD reminds me very little of the Beatles.

I don't know. It might have been just those clips, they were only 30 seconds long. It sounded like a totally different band to me, though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I finally have all of PATGOD. :cool: I'm listening to Matilda Mother right now, and so far, the album is living up to it's expectations.

^Woohoo to the first September 05er

[temporary]

My dad showed my "One of these Days" on Delicate Sound of Thunder VHS.

Yeah, thats a great jam. Gilmour really goes nuts on the slide guitar.

[FlyingPaul_83]

I just finshed listening to Animals, and all I have to say is wow. I like this album a lot. This is my first time hearing pink floyd, besides another brick in the wall. I judged thewse guys wayt too quickly.

NP:Pink Floyd - Sheep :thumb:

[clairvoyant]

Indeed, I love Animals. My favorite Pink Floyd album (but I only have that, Division Bell, DSOTM, and Wish You Were Here...along with Echoes)

[DeusExMachina]

That made me feel good just reading it. I don't know why, but I really like your descriptives. :thumb:

I never really "got" Animals. I'm not cool enough, I guess. :upset:

NP: Prelude for Lute by Bach, performed by Andres Segovia.

Sheep does have a cool outro riff.

He's not a September 05, he's Marmalade_Skies, but he was banned.

[FlyingPaul_83]

N00b question:

who is the singer?


:upset:

[Shazzam]

N00b question:

who is the singer?


:upset:

Roger Waters (bassist) and David Gilmour (guitar) both do the singing

But in the early days (Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, etc.), Syd Barrett was the singer, but got kicked out due to excessive LSD use.

[magicbus]

This site might help. It has a lot of information about Floyd albums, including who sings on which song.

Have you ever heard the song Comfortably Numb? (It's from the Wall, but Pulse has an even better live version of it)

If not, download it immediataly.... Best Guitar Solo(s) ever :thumb:

[clairvoyant]

Yes, Comfortably Numb solo rocks. Most all of David Gilmours outro solos are amazing anyways, like Sorrow, Pigs (Three Different Ones)...etc

A song I haven't heard much of on here is Fat Old Sun (Off the album Atom Heart Mother, early 70's I believe). The lyrics are beautiful, and what a solo! :)

[Shazzam]

^^

Yes, I got that a while ago off of Kazaa, it's amazing.

The only thing that sucks is the camera zooms in on Gilmour's RIGHT hand way too much.

My friend burned me Dark Side of the Moon a while back and I'd listened to it a little, but hadn't really got around to actually listening to the CD until last night.

It was some good stuff, especially Time.

Now I see why it's such a popular album.

Yeah it's really accessible.

Any Colour You Like is about the trippiest song ever. If you don't believe me, go smoke a bowl of chronic and blast that song in a dark room and see what happens. (It kicks *** when your not high too :) )

What's a better Floyd DVD, Gilmour Acoustic 2002, or Live At Pompeii?

I want to get one of them for my birthday, which one should I ask for? I'll probably end up getting both though.

[Schyma]

Live in Pompeii was AMAZING!!! Can't say it's better though because I haven't seen it yet but Pompeii is extremly hard to beat.

[DeusExMachina]

What's a better Floyd DVD, Gilmour Acoustic 2002, or Live At Pompeii?

I want to get one of them for my birthday, which one should I ask for? I'll probably end up getting both though.
Pompeii is incredible, but it depends on what you're into. I've always been a fan of mellower music, and thus the acoustic DVD appeals to me more. But, Pompeii has some great tracks, and some insight into what studio time was like for the band, so... it's really a toss up. Depends on what era you're more into: Pre-DSOTM, or later stuff and stuff Gilmour wrote after 94?

[magicbus]

Live At Pompeii is better IMO. Much more epic, and while I love Gilmour, I think it was better to see them all playing together.

I do own both though, I'd check out both of them.

[robo2448]

I guess I'll get Live At Pompei first, but get both eventually.

[DeusExMachina]

I'd probably say get Pompeii first, although I prefer the acoustic DVD to LAP.

[Riva]

If you do get Pompeii, make sure it is the Director's Cut.

[Shazzam]

If you do get Pompeii, make sure it is the Director's Cut.


I have it, and I can't stand it. It takes away from the original feel of the whole thing, and there are all those annyoing planet animations.

The good thing though, is that the entire 'original' footage is in the bonus features.

NP: Prelude for Lute by Bach, performed by Andres Segovia.

Hah, loser. Just kidding, I like classical music, too.

And yeah, Animals is pretty awesome. It used to be one of my least favorite albums, but it grew on me a lot (particularly Pigs) and now its my favorite after The Wall and Wish You Were Here.

[Shazzam]

So Dark Side of The Forum it is....

[Riva]

Yeah, I got Bartender to rename it. If you guys want a different one, I can pull some more strings. :)

[Broken Arrow]

Yay, for name change.

I like it.

[robo2448]

We finally got the name change :cool:

Pigs is such an amazing song, the solo at the end is one of my favorite Gilmour moments.

[dr._feelgood]

How long are we gonna keep the name changed?

Gratz. I put a lot of thought into that... my teachers at school always tell me I'm a good writer too.

BTW, I'm glad for the name change, but I still would've preferred "One of These Threads Is Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces" Come on, you know you love it ;)

NP: Chumba Wumba - Tub Thumpin'

...

damn iTunes Shuffle :upset:

[moaner]

"One of These Threads Is Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces"

yeah, i do like that.

I nominate that for our next name in a month or so's time.

[bibbl]

That is a good name, though the current new name is pretty good, too.

[Distant Echoes]

Yes, Nice thread name.

One of these threads is going to cut you into little pieces is good as well.

Mister Blue Sky, Do you want me to send you Atom Heart Mother? Personally I don't think if your not a hardcore nazi Floyd fan you sould buy it, but I have it if youd like.

[Shazzam]

Didn't Neurotoxin upload the entire Floyd discography a few days ago?


He can just get it there then...

Mister Blue Sky, Do you want me to send you Atom Heart Mother? Personally I don't think if your not a hardcore nazi Floyd fan you sould buy it, but I have it if youd like.

Thanks a lot for the offer but my computer is too slow to download a full album. When it has it's fast days, I go on YSI sprees, but it's slow today. :(

[Walrus Gumboot]

I really love the new name, now the Zeppelin Thread will have to rename to retalliate :p

Is PATGOD supposed to sound really rough, or did I just get a bad d/l?

[thickasabrick]

No PATGOD sounds good. You must have got a messed up version.

edit- K this is bugging me, in several different places I've read two different versions of the lyrics for Jugband Blues......does he say "room" or "moon?"

[standard]

Moon. I just read it in my Echoes booklet.

w00tz for the new thread name. :)

I need "Atom Heart Mother".

Want me to upload it?

Pigs is such an amazing song, the solo at the end is one of my favorite Gilmour moments.

Yeah, that song is just amazing. My favorite part is actually the intro, with the kickass synt pattern, the perfectly placed fret-less bass, and the simple guitar riff from Gilmour. The solo at the end is amazing, but after dogs its not as good.

[DeusExMachina]

Huzzah for the name change. I approve.

[Lunch]

Does anyone here have Is There Anybody Out There, and would they be willing to upload it or trade for it?

[MBS]

Want me to upload it?


Again, thanks for the generous offer, but my computer's really slow. I can only upload. :(

[RNR]

The thing about uploading is that I would have to get up. So no.

I sure do love Pink Floyd.

[angusmaster]

Tommarow , i get the newest guitar one magazine , which has the wall as the cd rom or whatever it is that comes with it.

[1One1]

We need more info about that.

[clairvoyant]

High Hopes is a surprisingly good song in my opinion. The Division Bell has some really good songs, and then just some incredibly boring songs.

[DeusExMachina]

Does anyone here have Is There Anybody Out There, and would they be willing to upload it or trade for it?
I have it somewhere, but don't know where unfortunately :upset:

If I can find it, I'll upload it for you.

I like the new name....Dark Side of the Forum. I still would've like to see:
Alan's Psycadelic Thread(Pink Floyd)

What do you think?

[Lunch]

I like the title now. It's creative without being too obscure, so everyone still knows what it is.

[temporary]

High Hopes is a surprisingly good song in my opinion. The Division Bell has some really good songs, and then just some incredibly boring songs.

Yeah, I really like High Hopes. The lyrics are really cool, and the slide guitar solo is unbelieveable. Probably my favorite Gilmour solo after Comfortably Numb, Time, and Shine On. Plus it had an increadably strange music video.

[DeusExMachina]

I was unaware Pink Floyd made music videos. Eh, I guess I'm just ignorant in the music video field.

They made them for their concerts in the 80s and 90s. I'll upload the High Hopes one if I can get it on my computer.

[DeusExMachina]

I'm doing a cover of Mother with The Flabbit Rides High. Anyone want to play drums or bass? Also, if anyone knows that little keyboard bit, that would be cool too.

[moaner]

Yeah, I really like High Hopes. The lyrics are really cool, and the slide guitar solo is unbelieveable. Probably my favorite Gilmour solo after Comfortably Numb, Time, and Shine On. Plus it had an increadably strange music video.

The slide so really isn't that great to me. I think its nothing compared to the power of the one off SOYCD.

[Reywas]

I Agree abou SOyCD but High Hopes solo is awesome too.

[bibbl]

What does SOYCD stand for?

All this decoding of crap like DSOTM and WYWH is making my brain hurt.

imo, SOYCD > High Hopes, but High hopes puts on a hell of a fight. Slide Solo on SOYCD is insane when your actually playing it though. It seems a bit repetitive with some fills thrown in, but when gilmour goes to the 31st (imaginery) fret, the accuracy can not be touched by any other guitarist. I sound like Im murdering dolphins when i try to play that...but i try.

[bibbl]

Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Oh, right. Thanks.


Ya that's a cool song. At least the first one is. I haven't heard the second one, though.

[magicbus]

David Gilmour's s/t is pretty cool so far. The guitar is really awesome, even though the lyrics aren't very meaningful.

That's exactly what I found too...I have it on vinyl. I listen to it now and again, but sometimes it just seems like more of a tribute, than a pleasure to listen to it. I've never figured out just what it is, but I think you've got it.

I just came here to tell you guys, that if you have that Windows Media Player thing where it shows the cool designs that go with the music...you should put on Welcome to the Machine (although I'm sure any Floyd will do the trick...) and turn that Windows thing to full screen so all you see is the crazy designs and stuff, and just watch it go with the music. It's so amazing.

I'm gonna do it again, I've just gotta figure out which song to use now.

edit - Amateurs... :p :lol:

[Paranoidd]

I'm obsessing trying to get a gilmour-ish tone right now :/

[thickasabrick]

I'm obsessing trying to get a gilmour-ish tone right now :/

Heh heh...I obsessed over that about six months ago. I got it perfect....I know exactly what to set it at if I want that clean (SOYD, ABITH solo type tone...) and to get the more overdriven (Time, that's basically what I tried to perfect it to) tone. It's perfect.

Although everyone who has a half decent knowledge of Pink Floyd usually comments immediately on how Gilmourish my tone is. I tell them it's just the perfect tone. ;) :lol:

edit- and did you know they closed the "Should Cannibus Be Legalized?" thread!? That's outragous!

I was very upset about the thread closing. :(

Right now my tone is actually decent. Well, it's not decent, but I'm happy with it and it's probably the best I'll get from my gear (Epiphone Les Paul, Marshall MG15, PodXT). It's running through an emulated 1987 Roland JAzz Amp (Andy Summers of The Police used it for most of their stuff) with bumped up mids and bass and the treble a little flat. The overdrive is at about 3, so the control of the crunch is really the hands. The harder I hit it, I can get a nice tube-overdrive sound, but still play really clean if I want to.

Also running a U-Vibe and some Reverb, noise gate, and a Fuzz box that is usually off, but switches on for distortion (duh).

I'm pretty happy with it :D

To tell you the truth man...you could probably get it pretty **** close with that gear. I use a Epiphone Black Beauty 3 (neck pickup is the most beautiful tone I've ever heard) and a Marshall DSL. I've got various effects pedals if I need them (the amp has reverb, and I rarely need to go past that...although sometimes I like delay or flange.) But it sounds absolutely perfect...I can turn it to the Ultra Gain setting and crank the distortion all the way...theres a mid scoop button that makes it perfect. I turn the presence up all the way (some Marshalls don't have that though, I've got an MG30) and it sounds perfect. Bass is about 7 or 8, Mid is about 4, Treble is about 6 or 7.

edit- the strange thing is...when I crank the distortion up all the way (like I mentioned) it doesn't get any more distorted than Gilmour in Time...or that guitar that follows the vocals on Another Brick in the Wall part 2. That's why some people hate Marshall DSL's...because they don't give out crippling distortion. But that's why I like them. I think this belongs more in the Guitar forum, but I'm sure people don't mind.

[Paranoidd]

Discussion about Gilmour belongs everywhere ;)

Listening to DSOTM the other day, I realized that David Gilmour is simply my favorite soloist, ever.

ps neck pickups own, the only time I switch to bridge or both is if I'm just getting too much bass for what I'm playing. The crappy speaker in my amp can't handle too much.

Eventually I want to pick up a Mesa Boogie Rect-O-Verb 2x12 so I can stop complaining about my crappy amp.

[thickasabrick]

Awesome. Gilmour is definitely my favourite soloist. The man knew how to write and play the most beautiful pieces of music on his guitar. I melt into jelly when I listen to it. I'm trying to get my soloing skills up to his level....right now I'd say I'm sitting a little below Neil Young.

edit- and not Neil Young in terms of songwriting skills....strickly guitar skills. No one touches Neil Young (except Dylan of course). Jesus Christ I need people to talk to in the Classic Rock thread.

[thickasabrick]

I think I killed the thread. I'm listening to Saucerful of Secrets right now (the album..although right now I'm actually on the song. Strange coincedence). Did Barret only write Jugband Blues on this album? I wish he wrote more, not that Water's songs were anything short of brilliant.

Well, half of Neil Young's solo's use about five notes. He's one heck of a songwriter, though. Gotta love the lyrics of Keep On Rockin' In The Free World.

Yea, Barrett just wrote Jugband Blues. Great song though.

I think that song is one of the worst songs ever recorded.

[DeusExMachina]

My tone is pretty close to Gilmour's. Not exact, but I love my tone, and don't really want to change it.

Since there was a bit of talk about pickups (I was too lazy to read all the posts), what do you all think of Lindy Fralin pickups? I've got one in my neck, and love it. I used to prefer the bridge setting, but now refuse to leave the neck setting.

About as clever as Ashlee Simpson.

As for Pink Floyd, they're just about as clever as Dark Side of the Forum.

Which is... as I said before, about as clever as Ashlee Simpson.

...or maybe they're in the same league as B2K

By the way, I think "Us and Them" is the worst song ever written. :rolleyes:

[courtney_killed_kurt]

does anybody have any reviews about The Wall the movie?

i thought it was pretty crazy but I've heard it makes more sense when you're stoned.

[BigTrav415]

Meh, the album is better, but the movie is one of the best album-movies out there. In a very limited genre. I've never been stoned before, so I wouldn't know. Nor do I plan too.

[adioviva]

Did any of you ever hear the song money, i like the bass line

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Have I heard the song Money? Of course! I'm sure we all have, as it is probably one of their top five biggest hits. Not one of my personal faves, but a very sweet bass line, and also a nifty little solo.

[DeusExMachina]

Money is alright, but bores me when listened to often. Probably my least favorite track on DSOTM.

I love the Wall movie.

bibbl, check out the Pink Floyd discography thread. You can download the Symphonic Floyd there.

[adioviva]

The wall is pretty bad in my opinion, except for "We Don't Need No (Education)"

[Maggot Dream]

I don't know which part of that sentence to correct first.

maybe if you did get stoned you wouldn't be so bored? :thumb:


jk drugs are bad...

[thickasabrick]

does anybody have any reviews about The Wall the movie?

i thought it was pretty crazy but I've heard it makes more sense when you're stoned.

I never quite understood this whole thing about needing to be on drugs to understand The Wall....they even said that on TV one time (MTV or one of those channels). It's The Wall! If you've ever heard the album, you should know exactly what the albums about....and the movies exactly the same thing. You don't need to be stoned to understand it, it's very clear what it's about. Although I've only watched it stoned....(and once on mushrooms, couldn't concentrate though).

You definitely don't need to be stoned for it to make sense.....it is a beautifully amazing movie either way.

edit- and what on Earth did that one person say about The Wall? We don't need new education???! We'll let them off on the technicality of obviously being a Floyd noob.

[Riva]

Have I heard the song Money? Of course! I'm sure we all have, as it is probably one of their top five biggest hits. Not one of my personal faves, but a very sweet bass line, and also a nifty little solo.

Yeah, the solo is great. It's also supposedly the only number 1 hit to be written in 7/8 time. Or something to that extent.

Oh **** it.
I just finished replying to this moron in the DT thread.

and I REFUSE to believe DirtyQuebec is quebecois.
I don't feel like typing in my theory again.. it's in the DT thread lol

Just ignore him, he has nothing better to do than try to get people angry on an internet forum. WheepingGuitar, do you have Is There Anybody Out There? Someone uploaded it in the A&I YSI thread but it didn't work.

[WheepingGuitar39]

...the song?

or the whole album :lol:

The whole album, of course I have the song.

I know everyone one knows about DKSOTM and the wizard of oz but I found out that Echos sinks up with the pilot episode of DeGrassi? When the part after the seagul part comes on, its like a sonic orgasm?!
