I don't really care how big a status Radiohead has. Their sound is comparable to Pink Floyd, therefore I sometimes compare them to eachother. Why would a band's status have anything to do with whether or not you compare them to other bands?

Because no one will ever refer to a band as being the Wolfmother of the 2020s. :thumb:

apple pie 08-13-2007 11:39 PM

Riva 08-13-2007 11:53 PM

apple pie 08-14-2007 12:01 AM

is it alot, like most albums are in the mid 20s and some even cost into the low 30s before taxes.

Riva 08-14-2007 12:08 AM

It cost me AU$15.99

apple pie 08-14-2007 12:29 AM

oh up in Canada it is ungodly.

pulseczar 08-14-2007 12:32 AM

what music stores are you looking in? Music World definitely overprices Floyd stuff, but I got More at HMV for like $15 I believe. That was one or two years ago, though.

apple pie 08-14-2007 12:57 AM

was part of like the 2 fo 30 sale? I donno Ill go take a look.

MattSharpIsCool 08-14-2007 01:34 AM

I found More at a record shop around here for like $16

I don't know why I didn't buy it. I think I already had a bunch of stuff and decided to get it another time, which I then forgot to do.

Danger Bird 08-14-2007 02:09 AM

People really like to post about all the albums they didn't buy.

Have you heard the pre-[I]Animals[/I] concert, [I]Echoes In The Garden[/I], where they play jam versions of Dogs and Pigs (3 Different Ones) before they were called that. They're actually called Raving And Drooling and You've Gotta Be Crazy. Pretty awesome stuff.

YouGottaBeCrazy 08-14-2007 06:22 AM

I haven't heard that. Sounds interesting though. UL it maybe :)?

[QUOTE=Kage;15131620]Pink Floyd is worthless without Roger Waters, so the Division Bell doesn't really count.[/QUOTE]

Pretty much how I feel, because:

[QUOTE=MrConeman;15132279]... but thats only to a Pink Floyd standard, they are just everyday standard rock lyrics[/QUOTE]

Pretty similar, but it all just seems 'standard rock', it seems to lose a lot of the Pink Floyd sound, and alot of their driving force. Obviously because Roger left, but I'm a massive fan of his, and I don't find too much interesting about Gilmour era floyd.

I do like a cople of songs though, but mostly the live versions from p.u.l.s.e.

YouGottaBeCrazy 08-14-2007 06:37 AM

"High Hopes" is pretty ****ing sweet.

Riva 08-14-2007 06:59 AM

I will have to upload it sometime. It's on the [I]Dark Side Of The Moon[/I] tour, and it's got an awesome set list. They play the entire album, as well as Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5, Have A Cigar, Shine On Parts 6-9, Echoes and the two pre-Animals songs I talked about above.

Apocalyptic Raids 08-14-2007 07:32 AM

Amazing set list.

apple pie 08-14-2007 08:08 AM

yah that would be awesome

I would say that qualifies as a MUST UPLOAD FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALMIGHTY.

apple pie 08-15-2007 12:10 AM

Agreed, like in the next 24 hours

Leper 08-16-2007 11:25 AM

Well so much for that. WTF RIVA...I liked you better when you were heavy.:p

apple pie 08-16-2007 11:54 AM

lol, like Louie Anderson, not as cool anymore

[QUOTE=YouGottaBeCrazy;15133316]
The majority of The Wall was written by Roger, and you're just proving my point by mentioning DSOTM. It's really not any better of an album than The Final Cut is. The Floyd started to go really downhill after Roger left because they sounded uninspired. Roger was the one with the ideas and the songwriting ability.

IMO of course.[/QUOTE]
I disagree with the first point you made, and this. Heavily.
David is without any doubt what so ever the better musician, in every sense you wish to mention. The majority of The Wall was indeed composed by Roger, as was the Final Cut, which is why they are the two of the worst albums [I][B]musically[/B][/I], by Pink Floyd.

Lyrically they are great, and of course they do both have some great song writing on them and yes, the melodies are fine too, the songs are solid, I didn't say Roger was a [U]bad[/U] composer, just that Dave was better. But nothing on either album compares (again, [I][B]musically[/B][/I]) to songs that Dave composed by himself in the later days, or songs composed by the entire band in the early days. And of course this doesn't count for everything on the Wall.

Dave contributed to that album alot more than some people would like to accept. He wrote the music for Comfortably Numb, he wrote the music for Another Brick in the Wall Pt2, he wrote that great riff for In the Flesh, and generally, David wrote all the better music on that album. Roger tends to write extremely similar sounding music. Which is why the tracks he composed on the wall comprise mostly of the same melodic phrases, and why the Final Cut sounds the same as alot of The Wall. And that's fine, because it's the way he wants to do things. Dave says that Roger would have no problem using the same melody to get across different lyrics all the time.

And really, Darkside about the same as the Final Cut musically?
I mean really.

I'm sorry for ranting at you, but seriously, saying Roger Waters is better, musically, than David Gilmour is ludicrous .
