[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]I am getting The Wall DVD for my 18th, hopefully!! Only a week and a bit and I will be able to see what my friend said was the trippiest video of his lifetime.[/QUOTE]
I just bought it yesterday....It is really trippy, yet the it has a lot of meaning. The tits ain't bad either.

The Wall is. Pretty much the only explanation i've come come up over the last hour to explain fully.

i am a huge pink floyd fan, and The Wall and DSOTM are great, and though it doesnt have very many songs, Wish You Were Here(not just the song, the entire album) was great, the song WYWH is great, along with Welcome to the machine, Have a cigar, and i have never met anyone that didnt like Shine On You Crazy Diamond(dedicated to their first main songwriter, syd barret, who suffered from mental complications after their first album)

overall, Money is great for his awesome tenor sax parts by Dick Parry(i play tenor sax so its a weakness of mine), and WYWH is one of my fav songs ever, but the most haunting lyrics come from "Speak To Me/Breathe"

for long you'll live and high you'll fly, for smiles you'll give and tear's you'll cry, for all you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be - Speak To Me/Breathe, Dark Side Of The Moon Album

I just recently started to listen to them and think they're amazing. I have DSOTM and I'm just wondering what CD I should get next. Any suggestions?

I have WYWH, DSOTM, animals, The Wall and the final cut. So uhh yeah.

Carry on...

Dave Gilmour thinks he's a pretty crap guitarist, how wrong he is. On my three best albums it is arranged 1. Wish You Were Here (I love Have A Cigar) 2. The Wall and 3. Dark Side Of The Moon (Time contains one of the most beautiful guitar solo's ever constructed, so bluesy yet so vibrant!)

Nice!

I will tell ya'll something about Waters and his lyrics.

For truly haunting incredible lyrics, check out the songs "Two Suns in the Sunset" and "The Final Cut" off the underrated album, The Final Cut. Maybe the album is too meloncholy for the general majority of Floyd fans, and is admittingly musically adventurous, but those two songs are amazing. I happen to love the whole album, and as sick of people are of the conceptual design of most of Floyd's albums, it would be a sin for hardcore Floyd fans to not give that album some love.

Also, Meddle is a masterpiece too. Echoes is absolute brilliance, and we all know Fearless is mindblowing.

Some tidbits about Gilmour and his writing outside of Waters, if you can find it, Gimour released a solo album in the mid 80s called About Face. There's a song on that album called "Murder" that is jawdropping. Excellent writing on that song. Very dramatic. The rest of the album is slightly mediocre though, but if you can't find that song lemme know and I'll post it.

I'll see if I can track it down. Sounds interesting.

My favorite songs are Comfortably Numb, Time, Welcome to the Machine, Money and Eclipse... David Gilmour is an amazing guitarist, and i have to agreee that comfortably numb is better live. I find it creepy on dark side of the moon - brain damage when its like "I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"... anyway a fantastic band, and lots of their music is very relaxing.

I think Floyd is more than argueably the best band ever. The didnt just make music, they made art. Everything about their songs just works so perfect...DSOTM is a masterpiece, one of them albums thatll never get old-even if you listened to it 3 times a day for the rest of your life. Every song on that album, better or worse, is just as important an aspect to it than the last, TIme will forever be one of my favs. WUWH is so touching to me, that theres not even words. Welcome to the machine is probably one of my favorite songs, but only when i listen to it with the album. Animals took floyd from the slow rock/jazz combo to a bit more hard rock, crazy solos...making Sheep one of my favortie songs ever. The Wall is a bit unlike the FLoyd sound i enjoy listening to...but still a piece of art. COmfortably Numb, Another Brick I-II, The Trial, all classics.

After Waters left, theres no doubt the band got a bit worse...but worse for pink floyd is only 9 bars above incredible as to 13. The Final Cut and Momentary Lapse arent good, they have their moments, but still...Division bell is a good one. Greatest guitar work ive heard in a long time, Marooned, Take it Back, High Hopes. Its a great album.

The word of them reuniting is spreading like crazy around here...i just heard it on the radio on the way home, but its just not gonna happen. the Magazines say that for more issues sold-Djs for more listeners, they just want money, so they start rumors. The odds of that happening are about 1:50, but if it did...I think it would be great. Id buy tix to that show so fast and pay as much as it takes. I dont care if they suck now, i just want to see the greatest band of time in action again.

hey you is the best song its kinda of haunting though
espiceally the video for it on the wall dvd

does ne body have any stuff from them with syd barret on guitar

oh the movie the wall kick ***

[QUOTE=jimi hendrix the third]hey you is the best song its kinda of haunting though

Piper At the Gates is a great album.(Syd Barret on guitar)

My favorite, as I said earlier, is Animals. I think it combines the overall sound and musical quality of WYWH with the dark and emotional lyrics of the Wall to form a happy medium that fits me perfectly. Plus, Animals is their best concept album, but no one considers it as one.

[QUOTE=KingofDudes]Comfortably Numb is great on the "Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live: 1980-81" CD. I havent heard anything off of Delicate Sound of Thunder, but im downloading Time and Comfortably Numb off of it now. :thumb:

The Wall in general has very haunting lyrics IMO.

Like Lunch, my favorite Floyd CD is Animals.[/QUOTE]

The Wall is a concept album I believe.

I absoloutly adore Shine On You Crazy Diamond

[QUOTE=Big-Bird]The Wall is a concept album I believe.[/QUOTE]

Which is why I said the whole album has haunting lyrics.

Ummagumma is a concept album, isn't it?

The final song certainly is very strange.

I pity this thread...ive only rad the first page but i seems as if it was all the WYWH , DSOTM, and The Wall fans......and A few exceptions of Animals.....ok first of all DSOTM is overrated in a way...it is an awesome album but is given more appreciation than it always should....The best floyd song is obviously THE NILE SONG from the album "More: Music from the Motion Picture." This song is perfect in every way as in it mixes psychadelic sound with heavy distorted metal guitars and vocals better than what they normally did...in the song Atom Heart Mother off of the album of the same name there is a truly awesome slide solo.....and any floyd fan that picks WYWH over A Saucer Full of Secrets is insane......OK now the Wall is a dark creepy album but I am ashamed to say the album The Fragile by NIN is a dark two disc album that is fairly similair to The Wall but sadly alot better so please listen to it and compare them....now lastly.....listen to all the Floyd songs before u pick your favorite... :angry:

OMG this made me want to puke....The Division Bell Hurts my ears more than the putrid vocals of that band Coheed and Cambria! oh godddd......u forgot sum major "artistic" albums they made...PATGOD and Ummagumma...and i guess you could say More:MFTMP...please dont confuse the Division Bell with PINK FLOYD anymore...oh gpd...*throws up*

oh and Final Cut album did have Waters in it...and it was a very good album....only a couple notches below The Wall...

I have Ummagumma, More: Soundtrack from the Motion Picture, and Obscured by Clouds on tape, The Wall, DSOTM, WYWH and Piper At The Gates Of Dawn on CD, and have heard plenty of other songs. And I still prefer Wish You Were Here, Time, Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb over any other song. So listen to other people before you spout off.

Dark Side is probably overrated, but maybe some people have heard a lot of Pink Floyd and still prefer WYWH. I personally think WYWH is slightly overrated, but its still great. Then again I have heard almost all Pink Floyd, and I can say the Obscured By Clouds is very underrated. I think all Pink Floyd is great, but your favorite song doesn't isn't going to be everyone elses favorite song.

The bad thing about DSOFM is it gets kinda old after a while but i suppose everything is like that. The Wall i have yet to get tired of. One thing i will says is i can't get tired of listening to any Syd Barrett songs. They just keep getting better.

Dark Side is the best way to get into Pink Floyd, but your right. After discovering all the other great Floyd material, Dark side can seem boring when you go back to it.

I have every Floyd album, including some unreleased Syd stuff, and Dark Side is still my favorite.

I think quite a few people are falling into the trap of thinking that obscure = better.

I own Animals (which is my favorite), Wish You Were Here, and Dark Side. I'm aiming for Meddle next, Echoes is such an amazing song. Pink Floyd have got to be one of the most influential and classic progressive rock bands out there today, and oh yeah, David Gilmour is an extraordinaire guitarist.

I can't wait for the PULSE dvd to come out, hopefully it will have all the same material as the Live CD did, including all of DsotM, and a good selection of songs off The Wall. Kinda disappointed theres nothing from Animals though, they were probably all to long of songs to play. I doubt that reunion rumor is true about the band getting back together for a tour, but if it is, it will be sold out in a heartbeat.

I agree, Dark Side definately is a pinnacle for Pink Floyd, and I can't stand how people can say that it gets old after hearing other PF material. I just like to think the albums recorded around the DsotM era are all on the same level of success as Dark Side itself.

Fair enough.

Frankly, of the hundreds of albums I have, Dark Side is one record that I never, ever get tired of listening to. That says something in itself.

Same here, it was the first album to get me into classic rock, and to this day I still have random DsotM listening streaks, sometime the cd ends up in the player for 45 minutes, or even weeks at a time.

Yea that just didn't happen to me after I got more Pink Floyd. I love Dark Side but I find that I can't stop listening to Animals.

I doubt that a Floyd reunion tour is on the horizon. The breaking up left the whole band feeling some animosity (if that's the word) between each other. Roger just released a DVD not to long ago, and so did Gilmour.

The original name for DSOTM, when they were touring with it before it was released was Dark Side of the Moon: An Album for Assorted Lunatics. Post other Floyd trivia. NOW!

[QUOTE=DBoon's Ghost]Nice!

Did you know that "Murder" was written about John Lennon following his murder.


I think the most haunting Floyd tune, for me anyway, is "Great Gig in the Sky", the one with just the piano and the girl improvising the vocals.

I just recently bought the dvd, "Classic albums: Dark Side of the Moon", which is great, it shows all members talking through each track and playing the songs and Leads! acousticly and electric. The bonus have the extended interviews/lessons with Water, Gilmore, and Wright on "Time", "Money", "Great Gig in the Sky", & "Brain Damage" and more. With demo recordings too. It also has interviews with Alan Parsons talking about the mixing and effects. A must have for a PF fan for sure.

Dogs was originally called "You've gotta be crazy" and Sheep was called "Raving and Drooling." Both were played live as early as 3 years before Animals became an album.

Ive been listening to Pink Floyd alot recently, gonna try the DSOTM/Wizard of Oz thing tommorow :lol:

Haha, late response, but I agree...I think they are the same sort of people who claim that when a band hits mainstream it has sold out. I love The Wall and DSotM, and listen to both frequently, and am not so inclined to listen to their older stuff. I think people believe they are more "elite" when they can name songs that they think no one has heard of before. Additionally, Division Bell was a stellar album, Gilmour's slide solo in High Hopes is phenomenal, and if that album makes you "want to puke" than I hope you do because you clearly are close-minded and, frankly, an idiot. :)

i thought Division bell was great too...not like the same 'art rock' theyve made before...but it was a good way to end.

Every Floyd album is good...none of them make me want to puke, but whatever suits your style. ?

That guy really has some issues, but who the hell cares, were all entitled to our opinion. Pink FLoyd probably has the widest range of opinions because of their odd style of music. I loveit, people hate it, people want to vomit...but i think it makes them the greatest band in the world, how no other band has attempted, or came close, to matcing Floyds music style.

DSOTM is my personal fav. The Wall probly has the most haunting lyrics. Anyone see the movie? Thoughts? What do you think the album lyrics mean?

David Gilmuor in Concert and Animals have just arrived. Im happy :D

Animals will rox ur sox.

Trust me. ;)

[QUOTE=rock not roll]Animals will rox ur sox.

I've been loving it on Rhapsody for a while, finally decided to make a commitment :naughty:

My dad found some Pink Floyd Videos at work today :eek:

he found the tapes for


The Wall(too bad my brother already has the DVD)
Pulse
Delicate Sound of Thunder


Today has been a great day :)

the most haunting lyric is on the great gig in the sky about 3 minutes in where if u turn it up real loud u hear thvocalist say, if you can hear this wisper, your dying, scary stuff,

gilmour is amazings, but he should have wrote more
