I like Water's voice better, I have to say. I think in some cases, the Gilmour/Wright combo voice is great for their songs (Echoes, Time, etc.) but mostly Waters just seems to fit the most.

[quote]On a completely different topic: Gilmour, remember that shirt you posted the link to awhile back? The tye-dye with Gilmour playing guitar? I got it today! *glee* If I can get hold of a digital camera, I'll post a picture.[/quote]

:lol: I got mine today too

In certain cases like "The wall" I would agree, but for the most part he is very sub-par. On his "In the Flesh" CD, he sounds horrible on Wish you were here, Time, and money but does sound good on "The Wall" songs.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Breathe = Gilmour
Time = Gilmour and Wright
Money = Gilmour
Us and Them = I don't recall
Brain Damage/Eclipse = Waters

Here's a good way to distinguish. In Comfortably Numb, the doctor part (hello, is there anybody in there, just nod if you can hear me, is there anyone at home?) is Waters. The chorus (there is no pain you are receding) is Gilmour.[/QUOTE]

Thanks a load. Man, the one thing I dislike about Comfortably numb is the "Hello, is there anybody in there" part. It just gets on my nerves for some reason. :confused:

Check pinkfloydfan.net's discography, every CD shows who sang what.

Awesome. I love the internet. And Gilmour. :D

It is meant to be discomforting. The doctor is intruding into Pink's peaceful mindscape.

Lets talk about the barrett years

I enjoy Barret's style of music, but I enjoy Gilmour's more. I really like both though. Matilda Mothre is my favorite song of PATGOD. Its got very cool lyrics and the intro is hauntingly cool.

[QUOTE=Lateralias]Another favorite part of mine in Echoes is the progression after the whole strange interlude... with the keyboards coming in around 14:55 or so, [B]and then the guitar comes in and that whole part goes to about 18:42[/B], oh gosh, I love that part, I don't know why but it's awesome.[/QUOTE]

When this part comes on, everything in the world is good and right.

I like Barrett's style, and I think I can understand how, if I lived in the 60's and was around when Pink Floyd started, I would prefer Barrett to the later years (as many aging hippies do.) However, in looking at it from now, and having heard many of the later CD's before having heard PATGOD, I think the newer style is better. Barrett was an amazing lyricist though, the lyrics are just so different.

[QUOTE=hypocracy hater]Lets talk about the barrett years*[/QUOTE]

Year* if you dont include any time before PATGOD and his one song on Saucer full of secrets


PATGOD is a pretty solid album, but I like his work on "The Madcap Laughs" more


CDs I bought today

Meddle
The Final Cut
Obscured by clouds

On the topic of who sings what: anyone know for sure who sings in Shine On You Crazy Diamond (part 1 and 2)?

I need OBC. I have almost all their albums, but my library is somewhat lacking when it comes to the really early ones.

Anyone figure out what they're saying in Ummagumma its kind of sounds like "come back to me"? The track it called "Several Small Species..."

[QUOTE=Raijo]On the topic of who sings what: anyone know for sure who sings in Shine On You Crazy Diamond (part 1 and 2)?[/QUOTE]

Waters.

That's what I thought but the FA claimed that Gilmour sang on it so I got confused.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I need OBC. I have almost all their albums, but my library is somewhat lacking when it comes to the really early ones.[/QUOTE]

OBC was released in 1972(I'm just saying this because in your post in sounds like you said it was a really early Floyd album.) It is awesome though, really overlooked.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I need OBC. I have almost all their albums, but my library is somewhat lacking when it comes to the really early ones.[/QUOTE]

Same with me, all I need A Momentary Lapse of Reason, Ummagumma, PATGOD, Atom Heart Mother, and More(the soundtrack)(if you count that as a floyd album)

[QUOTE=lunch998]OBC was released in 1972(I'm just saying this because in your post in sounds like you said it was a really early Floyd album.) It is awesome though, really overlooked.[/QUOTE]

/me feels stupid

I have every studio album from Meddle on (except Echoes, because I refuse to get a greatest hits) I don't have DSOT, but I do have The Wall Live and PULSE. I also have PATGOD and AHM, but I'm lacking the others.

They really should release a DVD of a live Wall performance :(

I have Ummagumma, Animals, DSOTM, WYWH, The Wall, Meddle, and PATGOD. I plan on getting OBC or Pulse next. I haven't got into the later stuff yet, after The Wall, so you guys might want to clue me in on that?

The Division Bell is excellent musically, but is weaker lyrically. But is still a great album. Im not too sure about Momentary Lapse of Reason.

The Final Cut - Not too great, but I would suggest buying it, because it has a couple real gems in it. Namely, The Gunners Dream (the sax solo and the lead in to it are orgasm inducing)

AMLOR - A step up from The Final Cut, but a little poppy. Still a good buy, I recommend it, but not the greatest release.

The Division Bell - Great album. I highly recommend buying this one.

:upset: The version of echoes I have is only 16 something minutes long. Stupid greatest hits albums always abridging awesome songs. :rolleyes:

Blegh. I have a moral opposition to Echoes. I think the idea of a Pink Floyd greatest hits is just wrong.

Me too. It just doesn't seem right.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Blegh. I have a moral opposition to Echoes. I think the idea of a Pink Floyd greatest hits is just wrong.[/QUOTE]

tr00 :smash:

I may consider getting Relics though, I heard it has some unlreleased tracks on it.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Blegh. I have a moral opposition to Echoes. I think the idea of a Pink Floyd greatest hits is just wrong.[/QUOTE]

I personally think it's good for me, because I don't have much Floyd material, but I'm really into them of course, so Echoes was a good way for me to find out what era of their stuff I liked, and which purchases for me to make next. But yes, the song echoes is only 16 minutes long on there. I got hosed. :upset:

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=DeusExMachina]Blegh. I have a moral opposition to Echoes. I think the idea of a Pink Floyd greatest hits is just wrong.[/QUOTE]

It's like getting a book featuring the best chapters out of other books. They might be well-written, but you're missing the big picture.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Blegh. I have a moral opposition to Echoes. I think the idea of a Pink Floyd greatest hits is just wrong.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. Echoes is for Dark Side Of The Moon T-Shirt whores. Just the band's best songs all thrown together.

The only way to listen to Floyd is an entire original album at a time., I says.
