i have the wall, amlor, meddle, animals, wywh, obc, more, dsotm, the division bell, and echoes. my next one will probably be one of the live ones.
But anyways, about echoes, i think its a good cd to get some1 aquainted with the style of pink floyd. thats what i heard first from them and thats what got me into floyd.

[QUOTE=Raijo]I read an interesting quote recently where Dave Gilmour said "I've been in The Who, I've been in The Beatles and I've been in Pink Floyd! Top that, mother****er!" I'm curious about this quote. When was Gilmour in The Beatles and The Who? How did this happen? Was he a guest musician for them or a session guitarist or something? Anyone know?[/QUOTE]

He played with McCartney after The Beatles broke up, he might have appeared briefly on one of their albums, but I don't think he did. As for The Who, he played for them live, and he played lead guitar for Pete Townshend when he was on tour with his solo act. Gilmour is also the only person other than Townshend to have penned a song on a Townshend solo album. That sounds like a very un-Gilmour thing to say though. He always came off as rather modest. Well, just goes to show when a woman's on her back the meter's always running... /me just watched SNL recently.

Edit: Oh, and Riva, I'd rep you for that book analogy, but I already repped you for making that poll.

What year was this? (who with townshends solo?)

Townshend also helped out with Dave's solo album "About Face"

Really? I know that Dave asked Townshend to write lyrics for a song of his, but he ended up not putting the song in his album. Those lyrics and that song ended up on Townshend's solo album White City, as White City Fighting. And, to appreciate it, Dave played with McCartney and Townshend in the 80's.

I have relics,
If anyone wants any information on it.

[quote=pinkfloydfan]All Lovers Are Deranged (Gilmour/Townshend)[/quote]

I love that song :)

What is that song from? I don't recognize the name...

About Face

I need to get that album. I have none of Gilmour's solo albums :upset:

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I need to get that album. I have none of Gilmour's solo albums :upset:[/QUOTE]

How are his solo releases compared to Pink Floyd? I know they are probably not as good as Floyd, but how do the styles differ?

[QUOTE=Gilmour]tr00 :smash:

I may consider getting Relics though, I heard it has some unlreleased tracks on it.[/QUOTE]

I think Relics can be exempt from the general idea that greatest hits suck.

I have an idea. Let's forget about Echoes, their greatest hits albums and name Dark Side of the Moon the Pink Floyd unofficial greatest hits album. :D

Lets not.

[QUOTE=rock not rolled]Lets not.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

The Guitar part at the end of Sheep is so cool. Not that Gilmour needed another reason why he is awesome, but that is one.

Yeah, Sheep is awesome. I haven't gotten too much into Animals as a whole though. I just don't find it that amazing. Eh, I'll give it another chance *puts Animals into CD player*

I have sorta lost my interest in Animals, and I have started to love WYWH more lately.

That is because WYWH > Animals.

And

PATGOD > All

Animals is only great when you have a chance to listen to the whole thing through. Then it's a f[COLOR=White]uc[/COLOR]king brilliant album

[QUOTE=hypocracy hater]And

PATGOD > All[/QUOTE]

Ae you sure about htat? No doubt it's good but does it really beat The Wall, Animals, Wish You Were here, Meddle, Dark Side of The Moon...?

Of course favoritism is completly realitve, someones favorite album could be Final Cut, simply because that's the album that appeals to them most. WYWH and Animals are my favorites.

My favorites are probably WYWH and DSOTM, cliche as it may be. Of course, they're all so good its hard to name one as a favorite.

[QUOTE=Otherside]Of course favoritism is completly realitve, someones favorite album could be Final Cut, simply because that's the album that appeals to them most. WYWH and Animals are my favorites.[/QUOTE]

Wish You Were Here? No way! *looks at user title*

I must say that DSotM is my favorite. How trendy :rolleyes:

Today I was thinking of how specific classic rock bands influenced more modern music, and I really couldn't put my finger on any modern band other than Radiohead. Do you guys have any ideas? I realize that there must be many, but I went snowboarding today and my head is throbbing, so I didn't try very hard.

My favorite is probably Animals.

I don't listen to too much Tool, but I've been told they're pretty heavily influenced by Pink Floyd. Something about a certain part of The Grudge which is identical to a part of SOYCD.

Oh yeah, I think they did a cover of Comfortably numb as well. It might not have been Comfortably Numb, but I do think they covered a Pink Floyd song.

EDIT: To guy below me, so do Dream Theater.

Scissor Sisters do a cover of Comfortably numb

Scissor Sisters should rot.

Tool have done covers of both Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here live, I believe.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Scissor Sisters should rot.[/QUOTE]

They should, they have fuc[I]k[/I]ed it up beyond repair.

[QUOTE=Med57]I know they've covered Comfortably Numb, but I don't know about WYWH...with who Floyd influenced from current bands, I can't think of that many either. Tool, Dream Theater and Radiohead, to varying degrees are possible, because of some prog influences, as well as, in the case of Radiohead, the same "space" sound, but there's no-one who you can really look at as a modern day Pink Floyd in my opinion.[/QUOTE]

They are an Original. Like Syd.

Yeah, it's interesting. Some classic rock bands have been cloned to death (Zeppelin, anybody?) But no one has really been able to do the Pink Floyd sound.

The little keyboard thingy on SOYCD 1-5 at about 1:17 is what's at the end of The Grudge. I'd heard it on the Tool song first, so when I listened to SOYCD and recognized it I got all excited. :p

They've used other Pink Floyd "riffs" in their songs, but at the moment I can't remember where. Floyd was a huge influence to Tool. I guess they loved em.

I created a Syd Barrett thread.

I realize I've asked this before but does anyone know who did the cover of WYWH with the vocalist from Radiohead? I know he sings it, but it's not Radiohead doing the insturmentals. I'd say it's probably the best Floyd cover I've heard.

On a side note...*learns "Breathe in the Air"*

Hahaha. Syd Barrett was a funny guy.
