I like the Echoes: A Space Odyssey one better.

That one's mine :D

I also put 2001: A Space Odyssey with Ummagumma up.

Anyways, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a better movie than The Wizard Of Oz

This is true.

Question: In the end of Wish You Were (the song) is it David Gilmour singing da da dos and what not or is he actually playing that part on the guitar? (It starts at 4:05 of the song)

Both actually.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's both too.

If you watch him play it on Live 8 you can see it's both, [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11UUVzlI6hI[/url]. You can watch it there.

He always does that. He does it on a few songs on the Pulse video, too.

I just found this. Some of you guys have probably heard it already, but I thought it was really cool. The Flaming Lips cover "Lucifer Sam"

I hate the Flaming Lips so I'll just assume it sucks and not check it out.

Why do you hate the Flaming Lips?

I just don't like any of their songs. Don't like their style I guess.

Edit: Not any of the ones I've heard anyway.

I thoroughly enjoy me some Flaming Lips.

Money!

Get away!

The Flamings Lips are oh so excellent.

what exactly have you heard? i by no means enjoy them a bunch but i do think they have their moments.

awesome band

That wasn't a bad cover, by any means.

I've been puzzling out the meaning of Poles Apart, lately. I think it's about Roger , but I'm also sometimes tempted to just call it another song about Syd.

Considering the time it was written, I'd venture a guess it's probably about Roger, being pretty much at the height of his and David's feud.

Yep, that's what I thought to.

Hey guys, I havn't posted here in ages. I found out something interesting though, a friend of mine hates Pink Floyd but just recently he bought Piper At The Gates of Dawn and absolutely loved it. I know the Barret stuff is different to the other floyd stuff but I found that interesting.

Depends which Floyd he heard first really. If you ask me Pink Floyd were 3 different bands. Four if you wanna get technical.

1. The Syd led 60's psych-pop stuff.
2. The full band collaborative years.
3. Roger gradually taking more and more control, leading through to The Final Cut, and his departure
4. The Dave Gilmour led era.

I think anyone who didn't know the band, and listened to one then any other of these eras may well get confused that it's actually the same band. Floyd evolved alot.

I think soundwise the 2nd and 3rd ones you mention there are fairly similar, but yeah, you've got a point.

Well he hasn't heard number 4 but it was mainly Dark Side Of The Moon he hated. And onwards to The Wall as well.

I've been trying to get my dad to change his mind about Floyd, but I'm about to give up. He's disliked them for 30+ years now, so my efforts are seemingly futile.

Although he did like Animals a bit, and the late David-led stuff a little.

If I were you I'd give up. If he's anything like my dad then he's too stubborn to take musical suggestions from you and will stick with what he knows lol

Luckily for me my dad helped me get into Floyd. :)
I'm still bitter that he and my mum were at one of the 1994 Earls Court shows.

I love Pink Floyd but the only album I have is the live album "Delicate Sound of Thunder", which albums are the best?

That's a tough question. What disc of [I]Delicate Sound Of Thunder[/I] do you like the best? Or rather, what songs off the album are your favourites?

And for people I know who I'm trying to get into Floyd, I either burn them a sampler with a couple songs from every album, or I just play Ummagumma (the studio disc) and see which songs they like the best. It usually works well.

Just watched the videos of Roger at Live Earth or whatever it was called. Can't go wrong with the last half of DSOTM. It's kind of interesting to watch Roger sing David's parts, since his voice is so completely different. Especially now that he's pushing 65.

Yeah, I'm glad he more or less recovered his voice after the performance he had at Live8. I mean, it really was shocking to hear what was a strong, rich voice come out so wavery.

Before I went to bed last night I listened to [i]Dark Side of the Moon[/i]......

and I liked it.

I never cared for Dark Side of the Moon at all, with the exception of a couple of songs.

I've enjoyed Piper at the Gates of Dawn at times, though.

i just recently watched roger waters live at berlin

what's everyone's thoughts on it? i thought it was really cool... :-\

Ugh, why would you start someone off with Ummagumma?:confused:

It's probably the least immediately accessible album out of them all. I would think a Floyd n00b would be quickly turned away.

Whichever song they like the most helps me decide which album they might like. It's worked so far.

But I never put songs from [I]Ummagumma[/I] on Pink Floyd samplers. Go figure. :p

How do you work that out though? I can see someone might prefer the space rock stuff or gravitate towards Dark Side, Meddle etc but there's nothing really on there that resembles the Roger Waters dominated albums.

Granchester Meadows reminds me of The Wall, actually. Rick's stuff is like earlier Floyd, pre-Meddle, whereas Dave's stuff is sort of classic era.

That's an interesting way of doing it. I don't particularily like any of the tracks on Ummagumma though.:-/
