Just read the article. Well, there goes those rumors of a North American tour I heard about this weekend. I had no idea his band members treated him so poorly...

I think it was mostly Gilmour.

That was an interesting interview. From my understanding though, Roger Waters treated the rest of the band pretty poorly too. My understanding had always been he was more of the abusive one, not the abused one.

Out of curiousity, why does everyone post links with hxxp as opposed to http?

Yeah, that's been on my mind, I think it's some sort of glitch. Are you using firefox?

Pink Floyd's on right now on VH1

You Send It are tracing where all their links go and if they find one on a forum which is illegally sharing music then they block it. You put the hxxp so they can't trace and block your link :)

I think mx has made YSI's black list. Some of the non hxxp links shutdown in seconds.

Ahh. ****. I just uploaded something and posted an http link. Hopefully they won't track video game roms.

I post on another from that uses YSI, and they just post them normally with http.

Its blocked already :(

I think YSI has started blocking every file posted on mx, because I doubt that sharing ROMs is illegal. :shrug:

I just uploaded the Yngwie Album, and only 2 poeple were able to get it before it was blocked. Same goes with all the songs I post.

I have zero sympatrhy with Roger for what happened. The others weren't jealous- they were annoyed at the simplistic direction Roger was leading them. And he really does sing out of tune quite a lot.

Well if you post them with hxxp instead of http then YSI can't trace them so they won't get blocked :)

I agree. He can whine, but he really was being dictatorial with the band.

Also, he's such a hypocrite.

he keeps going on about how much he loves the blues, but i don't hear an ounce of blues influence in any of his playing. Dave is an extremely bluesy player sometimes, but roger? no.

In live at pompeii, which one band member isn't having fun playing "seamus"?

I don't mind that. You can love something without being influenced by it.

Well Seamus was voted the worst Pink Floyd song ever....

Any of the songs off of the Wish You Were here album are undoutably the greatest pink floyd songs known to man.
And YOU know it

I dunno, Time, Echoes, Money, Comfortably Numb, Pigs (3 Different Ones), and Dogs are all pretty good too, but Wish You Were Here is definetly an exceptional album.

Yea I'm getting ready to record with my band (nothing like pink floyd)
but I love listening to that album and thinking how long they were in the
studio working on that album, I'm extremaly influenced by them I'm contantly
working through all their albums

I think you are both right and wrong, but it's a trick question. The truth is that every album holds all of Pink Floyds best. I think PATGOD, Saucerful of Secrets, Meddle, DSOTM, and The Wall can all easily rival Wish You Were Here...but I couldn't choose a favourite. I really think Saucerful of Secrets is amazing.

Syd was the Bomb!

I'd say all the songs on Wish You Were Here are very close to Floyd's best except Welcome to the Machine. I really love that song, but it isn't quite as good as the others. But a lot of songs can be considered Floyd's best. In fact, I think a few people in here even feel that Welcome to the Machine is their favorite Floyd song. WYWH is such an amazing album.

Edit- I forgot to mention that I just got The Wall (the movie). It's awesome. Pretty creepy.

Wish You Were Here was the first pink floyd album I heard, and definately the best as far as an entire album goes imo. However with a band like floyd it is really tough to say, they cover such a wide range of sounds, When I discovered Syd Barret it was like rediscovering the band.

Lets just say Pink Floyd is the one of the best bands ever, thats something we can all agree with.

123. The Wall is an awesome movie.

The Wall is definitely a great movie. WYWH was my favorite album for awhile, but I think I'm going to take a step in the noobish direction and say that DSOTM might be my current favorite Pink Floyd album. I hadn't listened to it in awhile, and listening to it again was almost like listening to it for the first time. It's just brilliant.

I hated DSOTM at the start for some reason then I gave it a few more spins and now I love it us and them is amazing.

Not a big fan of money for a PF song its repetitive.

WYWH has always been my favorite. Right now though, Animals may be catching up to it. When I first heard DSOTM, the only songs I immediately liked were Time and Us and Them. Then, I started liking it more, but there were still a few songs I didn't really like. I decided to buy WYWH, and once I heard that album, I got much more into DSOTM and all of Floyd.

The Wall was the first Floyd album I ever heard, and it was my favorite up until I got WYWH. Then that became my favorite, then I started getting more into their earlier stuff and less into the Wall.
