I'll check em' out...

Hows about Modest Mouse? Or, I haven't heard them, but I've heard very good things about The Mars Volta.

I checked out a song by The Mars Volta off of their leaked new album. It sounded very Radiohead-esque to me, but it was only one song, so I can't say much about them.

:amaze:
woaw. so much fans. you amazed me, guys. i don't know how old are you but Pink Floyd are reputated to be our parents' kind of group... i just think they could last 10 other years again.
yep, i have in my family two other addicted and i'm getting myself gradually amazed by Pink Floyd.
in fact, my father picked out - i don't know....- maybe 10 or more lives of Pink Floyd on internet and he's always listening to it. i really prefers lives that the ordinary-recording-studio albums. there are pretty good.

You'd be suprised at the comeback Floyd is making, although they do tend to be mainly posers. :-/

Would you guys rather see Roger Waters or Dave Gilmour live?

Dave Gilmour. Definitely. He has aged much better than Waters.

Pink Floyd are so good. I am not overwhelmed by any other band's greatness like I am pink floyd's.

Comfortably numb is probably my favourite song ever.

I am really in love with Goodbye Blue Sky right now. Really in love.

[QUOTE=Shazzam]Hey, I found some sweet videos hidden deep into the Officail Pink Floyd site....

[url]http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/main.php?flash=present&quicktime=present[/url]

then click 'Echoes Album Site', a new window sould pop up, then choose your connection speed. Then click the box thing between the words Pink Floyd and Echoes, and go to video player.

There's everthing from Behind the Wall Tour Documentary to Animal's TV commercials.

Sorry if this has already been posted.[/QUOTE]

Those videos are fantastic, the live Wish You Were Here is just...zing.

They need to tour again :( I know people said it will never happen, I just want them to, so I could possibly see them.

Or I could buy a DVD, one of the other.

Well for me at least, that's true, in a way. My Dad is a huge fan, and while I was growing up there was usually either a Floyd cd, a Genesis cd, or a Thin Lizzy cd in the player. My dad has good taste...

I'm 19, incidentally.

one of my earliest memories is listning to the vinyl of The Wall and now that I have money to buy the albums I'm a huge fan. I in love with Echoes (track not compliation album) I'm 14

Besides on the actual website, does anyone have any videos of pink floyd playing? I havn't had any luck on soul seek so far..

I got into Pink Floyd when I discovered of my dad's DSOTM album on vinyl. I'm 14.

My mom liked Pink Floyd, so I just kinda grew up with it.

Good shizzl'.

My Dad likes good music, and I was brought up with some prog bands, like Genesis and Rush, but my parents weren't huge Floyd fans I guess. I really don't know how I got into them. I remember I learned the Comfortably Numb solos, saw the Wall for the first time, and randomly bought Live At Pompeii for $10 all around the same time, and I've been hooked ever since.

I don't have any on my computer, but you can get live DVD's and bootlegs. They're good stuff.

Does anyone else find it amusing that people love to talk about their age? It's almost like people view it as a badge of pride. "I'm 14 and listen to Pink Floyd, therefore I am cultured and know more than the average 14 year old!" Not an attack on anyone, just an observation.

Are we remembering how we got into Floyd?

If so, my dad played me the video of "One Of these Days" on DSOT.

Oh... I guess I should say that. My dad played me an old tape of The Wall.

I got into Floyd when one of my friends told me to listen to DSOTM, and I loved it. Then I listened to WYWH, and my dad showed me Ummagumma, and then he bought me Meddle on vinyl. I researched and found the rest of the albums myself. But man, the first time I heard DSOTM was amazing.

Just a random question for you guys, does anyone else really like Genesis?

[QUOTE=guitarded_chuck]Just a random question for you guys, does anyone else really like Genesis?[/QUOTE]
Uh, I haven't heard anything by them that wasn't on the radio.

They are pretty good.

Radio helped me to discover Floyd. I really really got into them after listening to Animals.

They play animals on the radio there? all we get is a load of songs from DSOTM and The Wall.

I couldnt enjoy listening to floyd songs on the radio, knowing theres a concept behind them...just like when i listen to an album, i always finsih from start to end, even if theres a song i dont like...which there isnt.

I found Delicate Sound Of Thunder in my mum's CD collection, which hooked me, then listened to Ummagumma, Obscured By Clouds and More on tape, which turned me into the Floyd fanboy I am today.

Nah, my first taste of Floyd was the radio, and after checking out Animals I was hooked.

After i got DSOTM for the first time, i hated it...but like LZIV, i just kept listening to it for some reason...and grew into it.

Probably wouldve helped if i knew what a concept album was all them years ago, wouldve helped me understand alot more, but what was odd was that [I]I [/I] asked for the CD, and my parents or friends didnt just let me listen.

My dad likes their early stuff, but that wasn't how I got into them. One day I just bought Dark Side, and you know how it goes from there.

Its been a while since i saw you on Lunch, including before the site crash. Rep ++

Its been so long im actually able to rep you :)

but my parents love all that stuff, but barely have any albums. Most is slowjam stuff.

I got a huge 24'x6' dsotm poster for the basement, after deciding not to waste my time painting it. very nice :thumb:

Hey, good to see you again.

ive been trying that site when it was down...only got to level 7

pretty bad for somebody who got a 120 on the IQ test :(

but to stay on topic...would Obscurred by clouds be a good next album for me to bou by Pink Floyd. I have most of the post dsotm era, and want to go back a little. i know thats the next album back, but still have heard some good about it

It's really good. I think I'm the official OBC whore in here.

Obscurred by Clouds is a very good CD. Very mellow and relaxing.

I haven't heard much Genesis.

I haven't heard Obscured By Clouds yet. I found this other kid at my school who likes PF though, so I'm hoping he might have some stuff I can borrow or have burned or something.

I think I got hooked on Pink Floyd after I moved into my new house and discovered Dark Side of the Moon in my dad's CD collection. Then I got Animals, bought my dad The Wall for Xmas, and now I'm a full fledged Floyd fanboy. (I have more Floyd cds, but those were the first 3 I got.

EDIT: [/parentheses] :lol:

I heard a song on the radio one day, I'm pretty sure it was off the wall, and I asked my dad what it was. I then found out he was a huge fan and hada buncha cds. Then we bought those ill3g7l russian mp3 cds..with just about every album on 2 cds...and iii love it.
