Roger is no longer in the band. However there are no plans to make more Floyd albums. So not really.

Yield 11-17-2006 10:19 PM

I finally finished watching Pulse. Wonderful show they put on. Time is one of my favorite Floyd songs there is.

Txus 11-17-2006 10:24 PM

[I]Pulse[/I] is one of my favorite music DVD's.

Yield 11-17-2006 10:32 PM

yeah, I liked it about the same as The Wall: Live in Berlin
which means I love both of them very very much

MrKite 11-17-2006 11:45 PM

Time is one of the best songs off of DSOFTM.
What do you guys suggest I get next by these guys. I think they'll soon become one of my all time favorites.

Yield 11-17-2006 11:56 PM

Animals. Animals is one of my personal favorites.

robo2448 11-18-2006 12:18 AM

Well has DSOTM grown on you? If it has, Wish You Were Here or Meddle would be the way to go. WYWH first though. If you like the Wall much more, then maybe Animals since Roger dominated the band on that too. Actually the Final Cut is the most similar album to the Wall but I would recommend those 3 (and a bunch more) over that one.

And David Bowie was one freaking weirdo but pretty awesome. Heroes is one of the best songs ever written.

MattSharpIsCool 11-18-2006 12:21 AM

Animals is good. It's very different from Dark Side though. It's alot more like The Wall, which you said you liked. So maybe try that one.

Try Obscured By Clouds. It's also pretty different. Its kind of pop rock-ish.

And Meddle is good. Kind of the start of the Pink Floyd "sound."

And "Heroes" is probably the only Bowie song I can stomach.

rippa32 11-18-2006 01:23 AM

I'd say meddle if only for One Of These Days and Echoes. The others are very different to the Dark Side sound but still very good songs.

Apocalyptic Raids 11-18-2006 01:27 AM

[I]Wish You Were Here[/I], [I]Meddle[/I] and [I]Animal[/I]s are the ones you should get next. In that order.

MattSharpIsCool 11-18-2006 01:32 AM

Do you like psychedelic rock? Yes____ No_____

If you marked "yes" above, try Piper At The Gates of Dawn. A fellow named Syd Barrett wrote most of the songs, played guitar, and sang on the CD. He was soon replaced by David Gilmour because he went crazy.

If you marked "no", choose one of the other CD's that have been mentioned.

And is it just me, or does anyone else find WYWH overrated? "Shine On" is one of my favorite Floyd songs, and the others are good, I just dont know if it's necessarily a "masterpiece" like a lot of people refer to it as.

rippa32 11-18-2006 02:19 AM

I feel the same. I found the other ones Water's had heavy influence on were better.

Lunch 11-18-2006 02:39 AM

I used to love WYWH but when I put it on now I can't get the same effect at all. I guess it just got boring to me, but I can still listen to Dark Side and Animals.

rippa32 11-18-2006 07:28 AM

I get bored with Dark Side which is funny because I used to idolise that album.

Riva 11-18-2006 08:06 AM

I find I listen to DSOTM less and less, but I still love it.

I don't think I could ever grow tired of WYWH, even though it's quite painful to listen to the title track right now, for emo reasons.

rippa32 11-18-2006 08:20 AM

Well for me the only thing still going for it is Shine On and Welcome To The Machine.

MrKite 11-18-2006 11:31 AM

DSOTM really bores me. I think the next ones for me will be Animals and Piper At The Gates (I love psychedelic rock).

Lunch 11-18-2006 11:49 AM

You better really love psychedelic rock for Piper.

MrKite 11-18-2006 01:14 PM

Oh, I do. It's one of my favorite genres.

Jacaranda 11-18-2006 01:47 PM

I just learned Money and Pigs (3 Different Ones) on bass. Pigs is really fun to play.

Yield 11-18-2006 06:04 PM

Piper is my favorite album of theirs. I love all of them, but that one just stands out.

Danger Bird 11-19-2006 12:38 AM

I love [i]Shine[/i] but I really don't like WYWH other than that. In fact, I can barely stand anything they did after Dark Side. Then again, I think Ummagumma is their best album.

Jim 11-19-2006 04:33 AM

Anyone else reminded of a particular bass guitarist whenever they watch Harry Potter's latest?

:confused:

I think the word 'uncanny' would prove appropriate.

Riva 11-19-2006 05:11 AM

Hrm... it is quite a likeness.

Also, I think you just have to like classic rock to like PATGOD, I don't count it anymore psychadelic than [I]Revolver[/I].

Jim 11-19-2006 05:18 AM

PATGOD had to grow on me considerably, but I now think it's quite a special album. There's alot of intriguing material on it and some of the songs are just fun.

Lucifer Sam and Flaming ftw. :)

Riva 11-19-2006 05:23 AM

In my opinion Pow R Toch H is the best.

Jim 11-19-2006 05:29 AM

Ah, yes. With Syd's vocal percussion. :lol: And what appears to be strange monkey noises accompanied by Rick's breezy piano. Priceless :)

Apocalyptic Raids 11-19-2006 05:30 AM

I've never paid much attention to [I]Piper At The Gates of Dawn[/I] to be honest. I'm more of a [I]Meddle[/I] and onward kinda guy.

Jim 11-19-2006 05:32 AM

I am too. :cool:

But there's still fun to be had pre-1971 for me.

rippa32 11-19-2006 06:18 AM

I have still yet to get Ummagumma, Id like to get Saucerful Of Secrets as well.
