The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

***Riva*** · 10-12-2004, 09:03 PM

Pink Floyd were arguably one of the more infuential bands of the '60s, '70s and even today. This thread is for discussion of all things Floyd, and also the solo projects of the members. A great site for learning about Floyd is [url=www.pinkfloydonline.net]here[/url].

For a great article, written by the forum's own Med57, read [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=286205]this[/url].

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many of the regulars of this thread often write interpretations of the albums Pink Floyd have released. These collaborations will be listed below, so that even the most casual Floyd fan can get an idea of the stories and concepts behind the albums. New users are welcome to join in, just wait until either Lunch998, MalcolmYoungRock or myself call for nominations for the album. Once the album is decided, each person can dibs a song. Then, you have around two weeks to write the analysis of the lyrics of the song. We are still debating whether the instrumental side should also be considered...

Hmm...well where to start...Floyd is amazing. The part in Comfortable Numb that goes "Is there anybody in there?" was kinda eerie the first time I heard the song.

JonG · 10-12-2004, 09:06 PM

Time is the greatest Pink Floyd song, amazing piece of artwork, DSOTM is. Took 1 n a half years to make 9 songs. Money is the most known, but it is a very great song, The raggity sax and the guitar after makes me get pumped :P

As for Comfortably Numb, it's alright, I'm not the biggest fan, Wish You Were Here has great vocals and Run Like Hell is one of their best instrumentals. I also like Welcome To Machine.

lunch998 · 10-12-2004, 09:06 PM

My favorite album of theirs is Animals. I guess it isn't haunting, but its dark, very serious, and the music is amazing. Great lyrics throughout the album, too.

Kingofdudes · 10-12-2004, 09:09 PM

Comfortably Numb is great on the "Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live: 1980-81" CD. I havent heard anything off of Delicate Sound of Thunder, but im downloading Time and Comfortably Numb off of it now.

I own dis fred k?

TheFlying-V · 10-12-2004, 09:09 PM

wish you were here and animals

Kingofdudes · 10-12-2004, 09:22 PM

Time was meh on that CD, but Comfortably Numb was awesome

ledfloyd_fan · 10-12-2004, 09:39 PM

Comfortably Numb was also great on PULSE. Which do you think is better, Dogs or Shine ony you Crazy Diamond? I'd say Dogs, but WYWH is my favorite floyd cd.

Kingofdudes · 10-12-2004, 09:43 PM

Dogs for me, it is probably my favorite Pink Floyd song

***Riva*** · 10-12-2004, 10:04 PM

I prefer Shine On You Crazy Diamond, though Dogs is also very up there.

Schyma · 10-12-2004, 10:50 PM

Roger Waters < Syd Barrett

Probably not, since the album is titled Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Schyma · 10-12-2004, 11:11 PM

I dont know that guy was pretty twisted

Schyma · 10-12-2004, 11:12 PM

Oh ****!!! Sorry about that

vecter1212 · 10-13-2004, 01:00 AM

Syd was insane, never get tired of comfortably numb btw.

***Riva*** · 10-13-2004, 02:56 AM

Hey, I was listening to a tape of Ummagumma; and in Several Small Species of Mammal Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict, is there supposed to be a background hum, or is it just the tape? Because it fits in well, but it sounds out of style, if you know what I mean.

LiZZySkYnRd7^ · 10-13-2004, 04:14 AM

Pink Floyd has been my favourite band for ages. Picking a fave song however would be like asking somebody to choose between their children. The Wall is the best by far in my estimation, with DSOTM a close second. I think hauntingly I would go with Hey You.

angus_young_wannabe · 10-13-2004, 04:25 AM

Brain damage has fairly haunting lyrics, talking about insanity and whatnot.

I have been listening to Pink Floyd a lot over the past few months and with every cd I am continually blown away. A truly amazing band. Favourite song at the moment would have to be Dogs, the middle section is just brilliant and the harmonized guitar solos are one of the best. But one song I never see mentioned anywhere is Fearless off Meddle. It would definately have to be one of the best songs off that album apart from the obvious, echoes. anyone else agree?

anyway enough of my rambling its great to see another pink floyd thread, there hasnt been one for a while.

toolboy84 · 10-13-2004, 04:26 AM

I like WYWH and DSOTM the most, also The Wall.

The solo from Time is amazing, and Comfortably Numb is a brilliant song. Also Wish You Were Here is an amazing song.
