Pink Floyd
 
Pink Floyd is the greatest music ive ever listened to. I;m sorry to tell u but they all had to be under the influence of marijuana when writing their songs.

My favorite is speak to me/ breathe. That song is the best.
Pink Floyd has always been my favorite band. :cool:

I have that album. It is very very wierd. There is a lot of guitar solos and **** in it. And in the instrumenst it lists, it says the guitar is a 12 string played with a feather. That album is ****ing WIERD. Go buy it.

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 04:27 PM

Who listened to the two new Roger Waters songs on his website? I didn't really like them.

What's the website?
I'll check them out and come back with a rating :thumb:.

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 05:07 PM

[url]www.rogerwaters.com[/url] They sound just like he's falling back on a formula, but the formula isn't working too well anymore.

IAJP 12-19-2004 05:12 PM

Thanks dude,
I'll check that out,
cheers,

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Heh. Sorry.

Out of curiousity, what's everyones favorite Pink Floyd song purely in terms of lyrics? It changes all the time for me, but right now its probably Us and Them or Echoes. And, of course, WYWH is always at or near the top of the list.[/QUOTE]

As I have said before, Us And Them all the way.

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 05:18 PM

I agree. Us and Them has beautiful lyrics. One of the best songs on the album in every way.

IAJP 12-19-2004 05:31 PM

Us and them is my favourite Pink Floyd song :).

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 06:26 PM

Us and Them is amazing. I've been listening to Echoes more and more recently, and that song is friggin brilliant. From a music theory standpoint, all the half cadences and deceptive cadences during the build up to the third verse are just used amazingly well. It's just this sense of "when's it coming... when's it coming" and then there's that awesome guitar riff, and its just like "YES!" I love that song.

WishYouWereHere 12-19-2004 07:48 PM

[QUOTE=thewormyourhonor]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:[/QUOTE]
if you dont like pink floyd, why are you even in this thread?

Sam 12-19-2004 08:11 PM

^I kno right?

I had an Atom Heart Mother shirt when I was in 5th grade. It was so cool, but I lost it....

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 08:37 PM

Atom Heart Mother is awesome.

Distant Echoes 12-19-2004 08:37 PM

The only Floyd shirts ive seen in my high school are all Dark Side of the Moon...i had one of my own, but that prism is a symbol of Rock n Roll forever...no other shirt could represent it better.

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 08:39 PM

The DSOTM cover is quite possibly the most famous rock album art ever.

Distant Echoes 12-19-2004 08:42 PM

The reissued 30th anniversary edition doesnt even name the songs because they know...its a rock symbol.

Do you guys think the 30th anniversary prism is better or the original artwork?

I like the 30th edition, it looks more realistic with the shaded prism, and the colors blend into eachother.

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 09:02 PM

I haven't given the 30th anniversary one enough of a look to say for certain, but as it stands, I kind of prefer the original. It's simple, and just classic. But maybe I'm just old fashioned.

Reissue

[url]http://otterpop.sbay.org/album/darkside.jpg[/url]
Original

I want to paint the reissue on my basement wall really big, but it looks really hard so i might have to do the original, when i learn how to paint

Hell maybe ill paint my Avator picture on the wall...i love that thing.

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 09:16 PM

Is the top one the reissue? If so, I agree, its better. I thought when yo said reissue you meant that 30th anniversary SACD thing, which I think looks a little too mechanical, for lack of a better term.

Distant Echoes 12-19-2004 09:22 PM

maybe it was 15th anniversary, but i think i know which one your thinking of...Its alright, but it looks like a stained glass or somethin. Theres alot of weird pictures...alot on my computer, but its hard to make it look bad

DeusExMachina 12-19-2004 10:53 PM

Yeah, I love that logo. It looks really cool in your little icon picture doohicky.

Nah,
the original was so much better than the 30th aniversary.
Unfortunatley, I couldn't get the original...so I've got the 30th Aniversary CD.
:(

Gossamer175 12-20-2004 11:27 AM

Personally I like the cover of Meddle the best.

magicbus 12-20-2004 01:00 PM

I think the original prism was for the album release, the "gray" prism was for the cd release, and the stain glass one is for the 30th anniversary edition. I like the first one the best.

[QUOTE=Gossamer175]Personally I like the cover of Meddle the best.[/QUOTE]

Hey, me too. I always get confused when I try to decipher what exactly that picture is... I think it's an ear with water in it, someone clear me up if I'm wrong

magicbus 12-20-2004 01:14 PM

I think its a picture of a pond, but it reminds me of a camel. My brother says its an ear too, but I don't see it.

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 02:03 PM

The picture for Meddle is a close up of an ear, with images of water ripples superimposed on it. Sort of like "sound waves." It's a really cool cover, but a wee bit abstract for me. I love the art for WYWH.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I have a DSOTM shirt. But its different from the ones everybody has from Hot Topic or whatever. Which translates to me = awesome.[/QUOTE]

DeusExMachina 12-20-2004 04:03 PM

8 Dollars? that's really friggin cheap. **** you.
