Listen to DSOTM. It's been called everything from overrated to sheer class, but it's what got me into them. I think it's the perfect crash-course in Floydism, as it's the one everyone goes on about :p

Far from my favourite, though.

On another note, I haven't listened to Pink Floyd in a number of weeks :( Might fish out The Final Cut tonight.

Meh I thought that maybe Final Cut would grow on me it hasnt. There's just not enough variety on the album, and includes very little besides the singing.

[quote=rippa32;13787280]$150AUS I payed. You can do $100 but there shitty seats. Theres also even more expensive ones but I didnt feel like spending $200.[/quote]

That's what I thought it was.:thumb: Well, hope it's worth it. It's looks like it will.

[quote=sonictheplumber;13787296]I haven't heard a single PF album....[/quote]

:amaze:
yeah, definitely listen to DSOTM. After that The Wall or Wish You Were Here. Animals or The Final Cut if you like The Wall. I'd say A Momentary Lapse of Reason if you liked WYWH better. Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Meddle are also great buys. PATGOD is nothing like any of the others, but Meddle is where Pink Floyd started to get there sound. By sound, however I mean that's where they started there whole concept albums idea.

:lol: Did I leave anything out?

[QUOTE=sonictheplumber;13787296]I haven't heard a single PF album....[/QUOTE]

Get either The Wall, or Darkside of the Moon. Floyd don't have one single defining sound by any means, but those two albums would give a fair idea of wether you could get into them or not.

Ok I'll get 'em. My parents might get me DSOTM for Christmas because I told them I wouldn't mind having it, but I'll just buy it myself if they don't get it for me.

DSOTM is ****in amazing so is wish you were here.

and as a side note, I think i'm going slightly mad

I listened to Floyd going to bed last night. The "sex whales" part in BBC Archives' Echoes really woke me up :lol:

I haven't listened to them in a long time either. I think I might go for the "sex whales" later. :p

BBC Archives? I didn't even know that existed :confused:. Is it like that BBC Sessions album Led Zeppelin has?

I got it from a torrent a while back, there's some good live versions of the meddle era tracks, with echoes being the stand out.

Whale sex? my friend called it 'war of the clangers'. But you have to have seent the clangers tv show for it to make sense...

It sounds a lot more like sex with whales.

I know from experience.

you would

[QUOTE=robo2448;13801452]you would[/QUOTE]

Dude you were there.

ssssh.

I thought we agreed not to talk about that!

there was a lot of alcohol that night and a lot of stuff happened that we don't need to share!

Pink Floyd and mind-altering chemicals? Never!

Yea BBC Archives is a bootleg I have. Good tracks on it.

Cool, ill have a look into it. How big is it?

[quote=Danger Bird;13802059]Pink Floyd and mind-altering chemicals? Never![/quote]

:eek: How could this be!?!?!

I love Pink Floyd, the only thing I can complain about is The Wall. Other than a few songs I can't stand that album. I just don't like the over all feel of the album.

I love The Wall. That's one you definitely have to sit down and listen to the album the whole way through.

It's my second favorite Floyd CD, after Darkside.

i thought the members themselves weren't into the drug scene much

Judging from a comment Roger Waters made pertaining to Live at Pompeii, they smoked pot. The comment was something along the lines of "we all looked rather stoned during the film", so, I'm just using context clues.

I'm fairly sure Syd is the only one to get into psychedelics, at least heavily.

And I know Rick Wright had a cocaine problem during the 70's.

[QUOTE=ghettoeddo;13809252]i thought the members themselves weren't into the drug scene much[/QUOTE]

They certainly took em, no more than your average rock band though.

yea thats what i meant.

floyd's become like..the poster band for drugs

You try playing music like theirs and not become the poster boy for drugs. It definitely [i]sounds[/i] drug-influenced.

yea i didnt say it was a bad thing haha

[quote=ghettoeddo;13809574]yea thats what i meant.

I thought Grateful Dead was the poster band for drugs. I don't listen to Grateful Dead, so i wouldn't really know.

/listens to both heavily

/especially teh Dead

/druggy

I feel like Dead fans are more expected to be drug users than Floyd fans.

Yes but when people who are used to pop music or whatever is on the radio, and then they hear something unique like floyd that uses sound effects to add atmosphere they immediately assume drugs must have been invloved. I have no idea why, funnily enough the first time I heard Dark Side I actaully didn't like it but drugs never occured to me.

David Gilmour says something on there about drugs too, it's pretty funny. Something like "Pink Floyd isn't drug inspired music...you can trust us" or something like that and then he just looks at the camera with this hilarious akward look on his face.
