Nice, I'm excited to go. I wish it was Floyd themselves, but this should do.

Wow that was quite the debate last page. IMO Roger is the better songwriter/composer.

Well it's hard to compare the two of them, because they write such completely different music individually.

However, I would say Roger probably is the better songwriter, but David really isn't that bad. The Division Bell is a pretty well written album I think.

Roger better songwriter? I don't agree, he is a better lyricist. The songs are mostly written by Gilmour. And if you look at the back up band for Roger's solo career, you will notice they had so much influence on the music.

But the best songwriter is Richard Wright IMO, The great gig in the sky and Us and Them are great :)

Wearing the Inside Out is awesome too.

I like Us and Them but at the same time I think it's a little overrated. Maybe I've just listened to it too often.

I think Us and Them is the peak of Dark Side

[QUOTE=Lunch;15205842]I think Us and Them is the peak of Dark Side[/QUOTE]

this

I don't think there really is a peak on Darkside. IMO it builds up right until the end of Eclipse.

Ya I really can't pick any one peak on Darkside, but Us and Them is a really awesome song.

Us and Them is overrated, Time is better.

You don't normally see people saying Time is better than song x because song x is overrated

[QUOTE=gasmaskman;15206309]Us and Them is overrated, Time is better.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

It's hard to say one song on Darkside is better than another.

It sounds cheesy and cliche, but Darkside really is better as a whole then as individual songs.

Not at all. You are spot on.

Yea, it can still be taken as a whole and have a peak section. Us in the Them is the 6 minute peak of the 40 minute whole.

If not musically than certainly conceptually

[QUOTE=Lunch;15206314]You don't normally see people saying Time is better than song x because song x is overrated[/QUOTE]
I'm just saying U&T is usually considered by people I know to be the best song, when I totally disagree as Time is better IMO.

Though every time I listen to DSOTM I always play every track because I can't stand not listening to the whole thing; it's just best that way.

You and I have different ideas about 'everyone'

Most people I ask either say Time or Money are their favorite song off Darkside.

Time would probably be my favourite.

I like Brain Damage/Eclipse

Do the Floyd fans like Comets on Fire?

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids;15207324]Time would probably be my favourite.[/QUOTE]

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime is on our side, yes it is.

young heartz be free tonite

I like all of Dark Side, like when I listen I never skip a song, but for me Time is easily the highlight. The Lyrics, Dave's raspy singing, the guitar solo, the intro drums, the song is just amazing. Top three Floyd tune for me for sure.

Time's my favorite of DSoTM followed closely by Us and Them.

hell yes

I like Us and Them followed by Any Colour You Like...just cant have one without the other.

I must have listened to Dark Side a million times, but for the first time right now I'm listening to it through headphones and oh my god. It's a completely different experience!! Easily my all-time favorite album. :smoke:

My favorites from Dark Side too.

Ya seriously it's awesome.

[I]Wish You Were Here[/I] and [I]Piper At The Gates Of Dawn[/I] kick arse on good quality headphones.

I can see [i]Piper[/i] being awesome, but I wouldn't expect WYWH. Well, besides Shine On, and Welcome to the Machine would probably be pretty badass.

The only thing I drive music into my ears with at my house are my Sennheisers. Best investment I've ever made. :thumb:

Have A Cigar sounds awesome, and the sample that introduces Wish You Were Here sounds excellently creepy.

I've distanced myself from WYWH over time, partly because of Have A Cigar and the title track, and partly because it sounds too much like a Gilmour album for me.

Why because of Have A Cigar and Wish You Were Here?

They don't really do it for me. Have A Cigar is okay, but Wish You Were Here hits me as boring, and both songs in succession just don't work for me.

Strange fellow.

I can see the Gilmour aspect though, especially with Shine On You Crazy Diamond bookending the album.

I mean, when I say that I distance myself from such an album, I don't mean I hate it; far from that. It's just not as great as I once thought it to be.

It's funny you mention that, saying it sounds like a Gilmour album, because that's a good point. Especially when it is considered one of the Waters dominated albums.

breathe is mine.

speaking of darkside, what an amazing album, but also the most overrated album of ALL TIME.
proof being a million kids at my school that have only heard one floyd song (sometimes its a song not even on that album) but wear the ****ing shirt. you dont see anyone wearing a piper shirt do you? nope. lets all jump on the bandwagon.

and piper is their best cd hands down.
