Pink Floyd sucks*

Discuss.


[size=0]*Is a great band with many solid literary inspirations[/size]

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Animal Farm is a great book. I love it. By the way, Gilmour, your new icon is totally awesome.[/QUOTE]

Thanks :)

rep +

Yup, I like his new one better than the old one which is the same person but at a different angle ;)

So, what does everyone think that the best opening lyrics for a pink floyd song are?

"Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?"

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day" - Time

or

"You've got to be crazy" - Dogs

I don't know.

One of these days, I'm going to rip you into little pieces.

[QUOTE=PinkFloyd]"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day" - Time

I defenitely agree on 'Time" as being one of the best.

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

Or

Good Bye Blue Sky

Look, Mummy. There's an airplane up in the sky.

Slightly off topic, but I missed it, so, does anyone know which five songs went through the poll in round 1?

Metallica-Fade To Black
Tool-Sober
Iron Maiden-Fear Of The Dark
Led Zeppelin-Black Dog
Jimi Hendrix-Little Wing

Yay for Metallica.

Yay for Led Zep.

:mad: :angry: !RETURN TO TOPIC NOW! :lol: :p

You're all wrong, the best opening lyric is Astronomy Domine 'Lime and limpid green, a second scene/A fight between the blue you once knew" It also happens to be one of their best songs :cool:

Lyrics I don't understand scare me. :(

Anyways, we can make it best closing lines as well.

In which case it has to be "Time", hands down.


"The time has come, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say......."

I like the end of the Trial or the end of Outside the Wall.

Time, as previously mentioned, as well as:

Hey You: "Together we stand, divided we fall."
Sheep: "Get out of the road if you want to grow old."
When the Tigers Broke Free: "...And that's how the High Command took my daddy from me."

Plus more that I can't think of right now.

Running over the same old grounds, what have we found? the same old fears... Wish you were here.

I just got meddle. :D

[QUOTE=Medopalis]I got that 5th of the Floyd albums I own, and really like it. I think Echoes is possibly a bit over-hyped, as it's really long, quite good, but nothing all that special. The rest of the album more than lives up to what people say about it though, and it flows really well (as usual for them).[/QUOTE]
I agree Meddle flows excellently. One of these Days was the first Floyd song I ever heard.:D

the lyrics in sheep are cool.loving the vengant sheep!lol

I really like Meddle. Its really eclectic, which is cool.

i think echo is probably my favorite

People, go to the best songs poll and vote for Eclipse! PINK FLOYD NEEDS YOU!

hey dont know if any one else has asked but i dont feel like reading 20 pages, and im not getting much reply in the trading albums over aim thread so i thought this was the best place to ask.
can anyone get me started on some pink floyd, i cant find their cd's anywhere really. it sucks. and i dont feel like buying some offline, so i was wondering if could send me a cd or two off of aol instant messenger.
id REALLY appreciate it
screen name- malignant5050
thanks in advance for any help and if theres anything i could send you in return i gladly will :)

^^^i have that and wish you were here i JUST got them like 10 min. ago
if u could get me some other stuff id appreciate it
sorry i didnt post it sooner

I can't send you them, but I'm sure you will be able to find some Pink Floyd. Even if you get them to order it in. But if you are looking for Floyd, to buy or download, try to pick up Meddle and Ummagumma, if you can.

Meh... I'd start with something a bit more friendly to people new to Pink Floyd. Those are great albums, but when I first got Meddle (still don't own Ummagumma... :upset: ) I wasn't really into them too much. Now I love them, but I'd say the Wall is a pretty good place to start.

i just saw the aus pink floyd show this weekend and let me just tell all you floyd fans out their who havnt seen it. go see it if it is still coming to your town. it is the greatest concert i have seen in a long time. they sound so much like pink floyd i forgot they were a cover band.

Well, he already has DSOTM, so I figured this would be a well-rounded Floyd experience.

For sure. Makes sense.

Who else is angry that Eclipse didn't make it through the poll? :angry:

As long as Us and Them get through this one, I'll be able to handle it.

Apparently Pink Floyd is going to be in every poll as well.

Rad. Yeah, Us and Them will make it through this poll... or else... *shakes fist*

I'm surprised that Eclipse even got into the 100. I love it but it can't stand alone as a great song without the rest of Dark Side.

Yeah, I never really expected to see Eclipse on the polls.

Mother.
 

I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of the solo in 'Mother' off of 'The Wall'. Personally, I think it's one of the greatest solos ever. I just feel that it is way under recognized, but thought no one could not like it.

I like the song, but the solo has never grabbed my attention, so I would have to disagree with you.

Its probably one of the shortest great solos ive heard.

But honestly, nobody can disagree, no other solo could sound better in that song. Its probably one of the best fit solos to a song ever made.

pink floyd, one of the best bands ever, nuff said
