There are few bands easier to introduce to someone than Pink Floyd

3rd page? 3 days with no posts?

I just gave Darkside a listen. What a perfect album.

I dunno I can think of a lot of bands that would be more easily introduced...

The first song I give to people is Shine On or Wish You Were Here, depending on what other music they generally listen to. Or Great Gig In the Sky, that works surprisingly well for me.

Funnily enough, the song that my ex liked the most by Floyd was Dogs.

How can anyone possibly fail at introducing someone to Pink Floyd?

"Hey you've never heard Pink Floyd? Here's Dark Side of the Moon"

Quite a few people dislike [I]Dark Side Of The Moon[/I] though, both here on MX and elsewhere.

Then hit them with WYWH the song

if you know they have a real taste in music, which in my experience never occurs when your getting someone into Pink Floyd, go for the obscure stuff but otherwise it's really simple

When I was younger I hated it, with the exception of money. Then one day about 3 years ago I listened to it and then was blown away. Its probably in my top 10 albums of all time now.

Same with me, except I first heard it about 3 years a go and hated it. I gave it another go later on because I knew my dad loved it, and I still hated it. Then one day I was at a loss as to finding something to listen to and found Dark Side in my pile of CD's. I dunno what it is but I've been a fan ever since.

I never considered Dark Side of The Moon to be my favorite. Animals is just too good for me.

Yeah. [I]Dark Side of the Moon[/I] is solid all the way through but [i]Animals[/i] is just so damn good.

My favourite Pink Floyd album changes by the week, I don't know if anyone else here is like that. Last week's favourite was Meddle, and this week's favourite is Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

The order by which I'd rank them changes quite a bit each week, I think. I'm not sure what I'd say as my favourite album right now, though.

Yeah my favorite varies between Dark Side, WYWH and Animals. Although my favorite song will ALWAYS remain with Shine On.

My favorite song is Careful With That Axe, Eugene. I still haven't found a version better than the Ummagumma one.

I love Animals.

Me too but we're talking about Pink Floyd here dude.

Have you heard the studio version of it?

Yeah, I like Ummagumma's better.

My favorite is Darkside. Just the way it flows.

I'm actually not the biggest fan of Meddle or WYWH. Echoes and Shine On are great tracks, but the rest of the songs on both albums are just a little lacking.

:eek:

But...

"Fearless", "One of these Days", "Welcome to the Machine", "Wish You Were Here"......

I'm gonna go cry now.

Not to mention [I]Pillow of Winds[/I]:angry:

One of These Days is a little corny but other than that Meddle is great

When I say "lacking", I don't mean "bad". I still like the songs and I do like both albums. I just think they're both a tad overrated.

[QUOTE=Danger Bird;15060519]One of These Days is a little corny but other than that Meddle is great[/QUOTE]

You wouldn't be saying that if someone threatened to cut you into little pieces.

Especially if they said it in that voice.

What are saying... ?

I don't want any trouble here guys

Actually, "One Of These Days" is one Floyd song I am not a big fan of. It's just kind of boring. I'm all for instrumentals, but that one just doesn't really do anything.

I'm going to say something that may get me shanked around this part of the town...

"Echoes" is overrated.

"Echoes" is overrated.[/QUOTE]

YOU are overrated.

/shank

I don't think Echoes is overrated but I have always preffered One Of These Days as my favourite off that album.

[QUOTE=Leper;15060965]YOU are overrated.

/shank[/QUOTE]

you gotta be crazy!

Echoes isn't the best song on [I]Meddle[/I], that honour belongs to Fearless.

Listening to Dark Side of the Moon. Haven't heard it in a while.

:thumb:

Always good music.

[QUOTE=Riva;15061797]Echoes isn't the best song on [I]Meddle[/I], that honour belongs to Fearless.[/QUOTE]

Yes. That's what I'm talking about.

Guys we all know Seamus is their best song evar.

I hope you choke



The rest of Meddle seems pretty dull by comparison because Echoes just overshadows the **** out it

no. "Fearless" is amazing.

i dont know if i have a favourite song. there are too many good ones.
