[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]In 1989, some Pink Floyd fan magazine voted Seamus the worst Pink Floyd song. They also voted The Final Cut as the worst album, even though the editors of the magazine voted it the best album.[/QUOTE]

Honestly, I'd have to agree with them.

Seamus is an OK song, but it's pretty far down on the list of Pink Floyd songs that I like.

The Final Cut also just doesn't seem like a PF album to me.

BludgeonySteve 08-05-2005 04:48 PM

They really don't have very many bad songs or albums. Just different ones (PATGOD is very hard for me to like, but I still wont say that it's bad). The Final Cut was OK, definitly not as good as their best stuff. Not even close.

I preffer the [b]Live At Pompeii[/b]'s [i]Seamus[/i] remake, [i]Mademoiselle Nobs[/i].

The harmonica, the howling dog and no lyrics made it interesting to me. =D

I read a really interesting article about all the problems Pink Floyd had with splitting and reformed, they proper hated eachother didn't they (Waters and the rest).

I find that Piper at the Gates was the worst one. That really didn't sound like Pink Floyd, and the musical feel was just not there. I know it's because Barret was in the band and Gilmour had not joined yet, but still.

I think it's good, but yeah, it's almost a completely different band.

[QUOTE=ThePiperAtTheGates]I heard they did that song as a joke-to be funny. But no one thought it was funny.[/QUOTE]
I've never heard that song, though I've heard about it. Anyone have an mp3 of it?

It's not that it's bad, it's just completely different. It's kind of like Sgt. Pepper's Beatles but much more psychadelic.

Clown 08-05-2005 08:53 PM

If anybody needs some good backing tracks, check this site out. (go to 'Soundclips')

[url]http://www.gilmourish.com/welcome.html[/url]

It has a version of Time IDENTICAL to the actual song, except the solo is gone (it's not some hack job cut out either, the solo track was just never put in). There are also some other good BT's as well, user created, but still top notch.

If you have never been to this site (which is unlikely), go there right now.

I think your the one that showed it to me a while ago?

magicbus 08-05-2005 10:56 PM

That could be, I did link it in here before. I first went there to figure out more about Gilmour's tone.

I'd say something off of Final Cut.

MLOR and DB are much better albums than the overly conceptual Final Cut. It reminds me of Amused To Death at times.

I'd say every song on The Wall (though musically insignificant) is still important as a means to tell the story. That being said, Floyd's worst song is probably Crying Song. Whilst it is only mediocore itself, the fact it follows The Nile Song (which is wonderful) makes it seem worse off.

gilmourish is a fantastic site...

Dine On You Famous Fatass

Remember when you were thin
You ran like the wind
Dine on you famous fatass
Now there's a steak on your plate
Like you need to gain weight?
Dine on you famous fatass
You got lodged in the armchair
You stuck to the leather
Grown horizontally
Come on you eater of chocolate candy
Come on you eater
Of hot dogs
And sundaes
And dine!

You reached to the freezer too soon
You cried for a spoon
Dine on you famous fatass
Hampered by clothes grown too tight
Lost the talent to write
Dine on you famous fatass
Well you wore out your britches
With many fish dishes
Screamed for some real cheeze
Come on you fatty
You eater of waffles
Come on you eater
Of pasta
And sauces
And dine!

Nobody knows what you are
A walrus or car?
Dine on you famous fatass
Pile on many more layers
Don't forget the tomatoes!
Dine on you famous fatass
And you'll bask in the dim glow
Of refridgerators
Eat until you burst
Come on you big boy
You plus-sized guitarist
Come on you consumer of pork chops and Triscuits
And dine!

DeusExMachina 08-06-2005 12:26 PM

I like that SOYCD parody. Quite amusing.

Gilmourish is definitely an awesome site, I solo over that Time background quite a bit.

Clown, that picture is awesome.

SGplayer2005 08-06-2005 02:03 PM

Pink Floyd Rocks Wish you were here is my favorite I can listen to that over and over again I really need more of their CDs I only have Dark Side of the Moon and Meddle.

I find that to be in extremely poor taste.

[QUOTE=moaner]I find that to be in extremely poor taste.[/QUOTE]

I find it pretty funny. And to the guy that only has DSOTM and Meddle, get WYWH or The Wall next.

Dragon_Prince 08-06-2005 04:43 PM

omg, I like that one

I don't tend to chuckle about mental collapse and depression, but hey...

Hah, that was quite funny.

Rothmans 08-06-2005 05:49 PM

The SOYCD was sad I didnt find it funny at all.

Flaminghotchino 08-06-2005 06:00 PM

Theres nothing sad about fat people.

Is there?

temporary 08-06-2005 06:26 PM

[QUOTE=Rothmans]The SOYCD was sad I didnt find it funny at all.[/QUOTE]

I don't think its a funny song at all, but his parody is great...

Kingofdudes 08-06-2005 06:45 PM

the only Syd connection I get from that is the porkchops reference

Riva 08-06-2005 06:48 PM

Yeah, it's not like it mentions his mental illness. Syd was fat, so is 20% of the rest of the world. It's not really that malicious at all.

Flaminghotchino 08-06-2005 08:26 PM

more like 89%
