Blue Floyd is really good. I've heard a few bootleg performances but never seen them. The Machine are coming here in a few weeks though so I'll check them out.

I've seen a Floyd cover band called The Surrogate Band (a play off of The Wall's lyrics, obviously). They were real good, and they're playing again here soon.

Woo got 2 tickets to Roger Waters in Toronto today!!

Awesome. Hope you enjoy it. I wonder if he plays any of his solo stuff, or just sticks to Pink Floyd (seeing as he is supposedly playing all of DSOTM)?

Both he has a 3 hour set ;)

[QUOTE=unComfortablyNumb]Wish You Were Here is my favorite album as well. I think every track on that album is amazing.

I've been meaning to get The Division Bell and A Momentary Lapse of Reason for quite some time now. Sadly, I've only heard a few selected tracks on each of these albums. What are some of your opinions on these albums?

np: Pink Floyd - Childhood's End[/QUOTE]
(momentary lapse of reason) and (division bell) is a must althought i like division bell more) but both are great

The Devision Bell is great one of PF's best work
A Momentary Lapse of Reason is not that good

The Divison Bell is one of my favorite Floyd albums.

I think Careful With That Axe Eugene is currently my favorite Floyd song. Listening to it in the dark with headphones on and watching all the shadows is quite an experience.

I much prefer AMLOR to TDB, to be honest. Especially [b]Learning To Fly[/b] which is hugely underrated.

I listened to WYWH probably 6 times in the car today. Nothing beats Shine on you crazy diamond in the car :).

Which part?

I like 1 more than 2, just me though.

I love Learning To Fly. That music video is so 80's cheesy-artsy, it's great :lol: I really need both AMLOR and TDB :(

Learning To Fly is great, but it's the only good one on the album '-_-

What about Dogs of War? That's great vocals on Gilmour's part. And Sorrow is a great effort by all the band, I think.

I think AMLOR and TDB are both great albums.. But not in the Pink Floyd sense. They're not very Pink Floydish, but are good albums.


Look at Marooned on TDB. That is a very well put together song.

I'm not sure if this has been posted in this thread or not, but I found a podcast of the full show during the Animals tour when Roger Waters spit on an audience member (the inspiration for The Wall)...

The file is 188 MB...

Cool man, thanks. All I have from that show is Pigs.

NP: San Tropez

Yeah, I love that show, besides the whole spitting thing it's still a great show, except for the rowdy crowd.

God I love Meddle so very very much. Even if I usually skip Seamus, it's still in my mind a perfect album. Fearless FTW

Fearless is pretty much my favourite Pink Floyd song. It recently overtook Wish You Were Here and Learning To Fly.

Meddle is defititely my favorite Pink Floyd album. Pillow of Winds, Fearless, and San Tropez are absolutely amazing songs (and all completely different than any other Pink Floyd), and Echoes is the precursor to the music that would make the Floyd one of the most popular bands in the world...

Back of the line, bitch. I've been riding the Fearless train since before you were born :angry:

Is it true that they brought in a session drummer for TDB? I feel bad for Nick, he's not that bad :upset:

I'm still annoyed that they replaced Rick with Michael Kamen for [I]The Final Cut[/I]. The guy's a great conductor, but surely arranging the strings was enough. He didn't have to arrange the keyboards also.

No, he just played some percussion on a few tracks (thats what he's listed as on the liner.) Then again, they had a bunch of backing musicians on that album.

Point Me To The Sky is allright. I have a complitation cd of a bunch of rare Pink Floyd songs with Syd and other early ones. My favorite rare Pink Floyd song would have to be either their cover of I'm A King Bee (if only because its the only Pink Floyd cover song I can think of) and Lucy Leave. My favorite early Pink Floyd live song would have to be Reaction In G.

I think he's great too, he rarely let his talent show, but he is pretty good. No one seems to like him though... I'm trying to find Fictitious Sports, his solo album, it's supposedly really quirky and good.

I feel the same way about Nick. I mean hes no Keith Moon but he is often called talentless. I think its because of two reasons. The first is his talents were showcased early on in live shows. People don't bother to pick up Ummagumma, Live in Pompii, or a bootleg so they don't know. The second reason is that because Pink Floyd is so popular when people hear one of their favorite drummers is Nick Mason they just think its some fan boy who is trying to think of a drummers name. What is ironic about the situation is if those people who say those who like Nick are fan boys took the time to get to know his drumming and his more underrated material they wouldn't be so quick to say he is talentless, when usually its the fan boys who know less about the underrated parts of a group.

Obviously you should check out Rick Wright's solo efforts first. ;)
