I like Free Four and Mudmen the best off that album, though I've only listened to it once.

Yeah I have a feeling that your opinion of what your favorite song off the album is, is going to change. All the songs on that album are have a way of growing on you at different times.

Sort of like Sgt. Pepper's?

Exactly like Sgt. Pepper's. I like albums like that. It in a way makes the album seem new every time you listen to it. Perhaps thats why its my favorite Pink Floyd album.

How I love that album...
Been awhile since I posted in here. Havent listened to much PF lately...

Meddle is easily my favorite Pink Floyd album..:)

My favorite section of Echoes is the first verse (Overhead the albatross..etc.), the words meld together very well and it all just rolls off your tongue...

THe glory of Echoes is in that 17th minute :| especially live it was great

Alright, i just got Wish You Were Here, and its amazing :thumb:

I love it

Prepare for a month of pure obsession and a lifetime of true love ;)

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]I think my favorite part about Echoes is the lyrics, they never fail to amaze me. Especially in the second section, I just love how it ends with..."And so I throw the windows wide and call to you across the sky."[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I love those lyrics. Echoes always reminds me of Christmas Eve. Probably because I always make a point of listening to it on Chirstmas Eve, 'cause it reminds me so much of it (yeah, thats weird.)

Anyone in here listen to Shpongle..?

Brownie points to anyone who can catch the Floyd reference in this song..:)

[QUOTE=BigTrav415]He looks so fly on the Meddle picture with the shaggy mane. I can't even imagine wanting to cut off that hair. Then again I think beards and long hair in general are awesome, I plan to grow hippy hair and a beard as soon as my parents let me :lol:
[/QUOTE]

keep putting off getting your hair cut and saying "I'm too busy, I'll do it some other time" until they finally get bored of asking

Or, have a dad who likes/liked prog rock the first time round and thinks it's cool anyway

If you're young enough to listen to your parents I doubt you could do the beard justice ;) (I sure as hell couldn't)

Ugh, growing my hair for the first year and a half was awful. I had really short hair up until my sophomore year of high school when I started growing it. It lookd absolutely terrible until the middle of my senior year, and I wasn't really happy with it until I got to college...

Be forwarned, long hair is one of the coolest things ever, but it takes true willpower to make it very far in the process...

Hehe, I've been growing my hair ever sincfe leaving High School (3 years now). It's good, but it hasn't gone past my shoulders due to work and a fastidious girlfriend. :p

I dont know why people say growing your hair long is hard, I've done it twice.

The recent convo has inspired me to listen to echoes.

I usually get a hair-cut about once a year, and let it grow out until it's nice and shaggy. I think I look better with long hair anyway.

I hope my hair is to my shoulders by the time I go back to school. It's pretty lengthy right now, past my ears everywhere. I really want that Jim Morrison style/length.

EDIT: I just realized my hair is almost like my avatar, just a tad longer.

Mine goes about an inch past my shoulders.

Hmm, that never happened to me. But then, I always thought Floyd went way downhill after Dark Side.

[QUOTE=Led-Zeppelin]Hmm, that never happened to me. But then, I always thought Floyd went way downhill after Dark Side.[/QUOTE]

They didn't go downhill, they just took a different direction. Dark Side was the turning point of their musical career...

EDIT: They did go downhill after Animals, though, considering the relationship of the band members...

The one with the long hair is me

...into a shi[size=2]t[/size]ty arena rock band. Sorry if that's harsh but I really think that aside from a few good songs the quality really declined. I love everything from Piper to DSotM, though, and WYWH is okay.

Just because they turned away from the psychadelic music they played with Syd doesn't mean that the Floyd became a "sh[I]i[/I]tty arena rock band". That's just being rediculous. There's nothing sh[I]i[/I]tty about their later music.

I'll give you the arena rock band during the post-Animals era, but you can't call Animals an arena rock album. It's completely inaccessible to the arena rock audience...

When I think arena rock, I think Poison and Def Leppard, not anything Pink Floyd has ever done. Now, their sound changed dramatically after Dark Side, which is something that I'd call musical maturity. You can like Piper, Saucerful, and Atom all you want, but you can't say that they had reached maturity on a musical level...

Meddle saw their songwriting become more focused, but the album as a whole was disorganized. Dark Side was their perfect album, in that the melodies, rhythms, and lyrics all flowed together naturally and made it a very cohesive effort...

You can choose favorites all you want, and say that you dislike post-Dark Side Floyd (my personal favorite album is Meddle), but you can't neglect the fact that the band wasn't musically mature until DSOTM...

Haha, Arena Rock is far removed from anything Floyd have ever done. [I]Final Cut[/I] is perhaps the closest.

Led-Zeppelin, I'm going to have to go ahead and completely disagree with you there. Completely.

In response to whoever said I'm being a parent-listeneing-to baby, it's hard to not listen to your parents when they telly uo you're going to eat and they drop you off at the haircutters. I do always tell them to cut it as short as possible though :) It's a good length right now. I would grow a beardstache, but a) my school is really gay about facial hair and b) the idiots at my school are really gay about facial hair (i.e. omg lol travis has a trashstache lololol mexicans lololol gay lololol) I've punched a guy for being a dumba[font="Verdana"]ss[/font] to another guy for the other guy growing a moustache. I don't see what the big deal is anyway.

My parents always tell me they like my hair better long, so I almost always keep it grown out. It's short right now for the first time in a while, I probably won't cut it for like 2 years.

I personally think Meddle was the turning point for Floyd when it comes to musical maturity.

I'd say MLOR is arena rock. There are definitely hints of cheesy arena rock in there. On the Turning Away, Sorrow and especially Learning to Fly rule but the rest of the album is pretty forgettable.

I always start to grow my hair out but eventually cut it because I get pissed off when it's in my eyes. Plus my mom makes a point of hinting (not very subtle) that I look much better with short hair. Right now it's probably George Harrison circa Rubber Soul length. I don't think it's ever been much longer than this, and when I get it cut, I don't get it much shorter, so it's always around this length. I think I'm going to grow it out though and see what happens.

My mum loves me with long hair, actually. :p

I don't think of MLOR as arena rock at all. Arena rock is Def Leppard, The Who and the like.

Don't put the Who in that shi[SIZE="2"]tty[/SIZE] company. Jesus if Lunch sees you comparing The Who with Def Leppard...

Meh, I always thought as MLOR as cheesy, overproduced, synthesizer driven arena rock. But yeah, MLOR isn't really like most arena-rock bands. I mean, if we're talking about arena-rock Floyd, I'd say it's the closest they ever came to it. But I don't think Floyd was arena rock at all.
