True. Bike was the first thing that came to mind when I thought of that album.

I think it is pretty safe to say that they may have been the tiniest bit high while writing that song

Heh. Syd Barrett was out of his mind on acid when writing that.

I just got Meddle yesterday......

it's :cool:.

I love Meddle. I really like A Pillow of Winds and Fearless (and, of course, Echoes.)

You didn't own Meddle before that?

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]That entire album is pretty weird, but I love it.[/QUOTE]
I'd go as far as to say it's the greatest Rock album ever recorded. (needless to say Pink Floyd's best) I just love the imagery and ryming in his lyrics I mean it's just perfect for Psychedelic music. Ever time I go shrooming I have to play "The Gnome" with it's simple acoustic guitar and playful lyrics it's just perfect for walking to a shroom feild. The songwritting on this album is quite revolutionary aswell. This album is as perfect as a Rock album has gotton. Words really can't describe how I feel about this album.

Wow. High praise coming from Schyma. I agree it's a great album, but I wouldn't say it's Pink Floyd's best, let alone the best rock album ever. But, it's fun to listen to.

It's good and very entertaining, but doesn't compare to say, WYWH or others. It's really fun to listen to though.

Few people can comprehend the [I]full[/I] genius of Syd Barrett. :p

I [I]really[/I] enjoy the Roger Waters side of the Floyd but the Syd Barrett side of the Floyd does sooooo much more for me.

I have a 4ft by 2ft Wish You Were Here poster. :D

[QUOTE=Lunch]You didn't own Meddle before that?[/QUOTE]

I had it when my friend gave me the entire Floyd discography, but in my Floyd n00bish-ness I deleted it.

What happened to Mister Blue Sky, Aaron?

I was logged in on MYR because my firefox glitched and had to switch to a different account. I had to relog in.

I thought you got a merge, though?

Also, did you get my rep message, c/o Bartender?

Nah, I just got the joindate and postcount added to this account, it was already made so I thought "why not?"

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Also, did you get my rep message, c/o Bartender?[/QUOTE]

On this account I have 0 rep, and on the other account the only rep message I have is "Welcome to the rep thread" from Strummy.

Oh bugger. Bad luck, then.

I have a full studio discography on this PC.

MEddle is a fantastic album.

I still haven't heard Meddle. What are some of the best songs on it?

"It's sad that these people think he's such a wonderful subject, that he's a living legend when, in fact, there is this poor sad man who can't deal with life or himself. He's got uncontrollable things in him that he can't deal with and people think it's a marvellous, wonderful, romantic thing. It's just a sad, sad thing, a very nice and talented person who's just disintegrated."

David Gilmour

One of these days, fealress, and echoes.

All of them :p

I really like Echoes though. It's 20+ minutes long, and takes up an entire side on the album. I'm actually learning to play it now, I only know bits and pieces. Meddle is one of my favorite Floyd albums, it rules.

I nailed the whole thing essentially. But i couldn't record it.

occasionally i play it all the way through. I will tonight, for fun.

I really like Fearless, it just has an effect on me that I can't describe. But you have to respect Echoes for just being amazing in general.

I know the beginning, and up to the solo, but I always play the Pompeii version's solo when I get to that point. I'm gonna learn the studio solo, and then a few parts at the end that I'm missing.

the pompeii bit with the slide?

I have to mould the 2 together to make it half playable (example- dave recorded one solo on a 24 fret gutiar, i don't have one, neither does he in pompeii) (another example- there are 5 guitars layered in one part) but I can certaintly do it.

How do you Floyd fans feel about Saucerful of Secrets and Obscured By Clouds? They're relatively unknown albums but I seem to be enjoying them.

I don't have ObC, but SoS was hit and miss. I really liked a few tracks, but others just grated on my nerves too much.

Kind of off-topic, but what do you think of Immortal Technique Ill? My friend brought a cd over with him today and it's pretty good stuff.
