[QUOTE=lunch998]Dark Side is probably overrated, but maybe some people have heard a lot of Pink Floyd and still prefer WYWH. I personally think WYWH is slightly overrated, but its still great. Then again I have heard almost all Pink Floyd, and I can say the Obscured By Clouds is very underrated. I think all Pink Floyd is great, but your favorite song doesn't isn't going to be everyone elses favorite song.[/QUOTE]


someone that sees what i mean!!! yay! :)

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Maybe it's real, but it sounds like a hoax to me. Like the whole DSOTM/Wizard of Oz synch thing... its only there because people want to believe its there. It really doesn't work that well at all.[/QUOTE]

People say it TOTALLY GOES IN SYNC with the movie because they see it on the websites, which are trying to getr people interested and excited. Ive done it a few days ago with some crappy video (didnt work well with commercials though...), but i still got the point. The only thing is the album lyrics and song structures are just very ironic to the movie. But youll find most the movie doesnt go very well with the album...but i think its interesting enough for everyone to check out. It doesnt work half as good after the first time the albums done.

Ive heard it also works with DSOTM, then Animals, then tracks 2-5 on Divison Bell. Maybe ill try that, but i doubt it will work.

The most ironic parts to me were these

1. The whole Great gig in the sky vocal solo while the house is in the tornado
2. 'Chinge' to money starts when the door opens to color
3. Breathe "Balenced on the biggest wave" - Dorothys on the pole
4. Dorothy listens for the tin mans heart when Eclipse ends and the heartbeat starts.
5. Time "kicking around a piece of ground in your hometown" Dorthy travels down the dirt road
6. The backround voices in The Great Gig saying 'im not afriad of dyeing, why shouldnt i' and all theo ther comments as the tornando approaches.
7. The great gig IN THE SKY/house is in the tornado in the sky
Any COLOUR you like/Dorothy cant decide which path to take on the YELLOW road
BRAIN DAMAGE while scarecrow sings about him not having a brain.

there were some other cool parts, but those were the really cool ones, and if you didnt notice, theirs all the first time you play the CD. And yes, you should have the TV on mute when trying it...maybe captions would work, because some dialouge matches the lyrics. they suggest using the 50th anniversary DVD edition and starting the CD right after the thrid lion roar (on the MGM opening credits)

[QUOTE=Floydian] the version of comfortably numb from pulse is the best, but the one performed with NIN, David Bowie etc. is also v. good[/QUOTE]


what????????? what have i missed??

[QUOTE=the mighty zep]I dont even know what your talking about

You mean when you play the wall (disc 1) over WYWH, they would blend or somethin?

if you explain ill try it right now[/QUOTE]


I mean, as in the ending notes for a song off of The Wall blend into the beginning notes of a song off of Wish You Were Here. However, I couldn't think of any that did do that, and I was asking if anyone else does.

hmmm....ill check in on that.

If you find out what song in paticular tell me

The Closest match i could find was the end to Young Lust and the beginning to the song Wish You Were Here. Nothing special though. I think that was a false statement.

Bugger, and I was hoping it was true. Ah well, it would have been a cool little trick though. I'll go punch the guy who told me that. Thanks mighty zep.

[QUOTE=Jude]I don't think Animals is really equivalent to Animal Farm. It's more addressed to British society at the time. Dogs is about the rich and powerful, pigs is about the government, Sheep is about the common people...[/QUOTE]

Most of the lyrics in the songs match up with the Animal Farm idea, and numerous reviews have said it is about based somewhat on Animal Farm. I think it is more of a fact than an opinion.

Has Roger ever said anything about the lyrics?

[QUOTE=KingofDudes]Has Roger ever said anything about the lyrics?[/QUOTE]

Here is a Dave Gilmour Quote about the album:

"The Animal Farm concept didn't come up until the album was about three-quarters finished. I don't think Roger had it in his mind before, but at some point he realized how close the lyrics were on those tracks, and he changed the lyrics about a bit on 'Dogs'...and 'Sheep'... It all obviously fitted together in his mind, coming to mean that. It is a good thing, in the end, having come to a collective decision, though. It knocks out some of the excesses which might otherwise appear from us as individuals."

Aside from that hard evidence, every review I've read of Animals (Probably about 10-15 of them) explain that the Album is somewhat based on Animal Farm.

Well, it it mighty close for it to be a coincidence.

Now, I know Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is a chapter from Wind In The Willows, but is there any significance beyond that?

I can give you a solid, definite mebbe on that.

[QUOTE=Floydian]IMO their most haunting lyrics are from hey you, the version of comfortably numb from pulse is the best, but the one performed with NIN, David Bowie etc. is also v. good[/QUOTE]

Uh....I think I can say with confidence that Pink Floyd has never performed, nor will ever perform with, Bowie, much less NIN. I can only imagine that you've downloaded one of those mislabeled files off Kazaa where it has the names of five random unrelated artists, none of whom would ever share a stage with each other, on it and it's up to you who it actually is.

Getting back on topic, I'd have to say that my all time fave Floyd songs are Comfortably Numb, Time and SOYCD. Lyrically, they're awesome. Musically, especially the solo from Time, is just amazing.

I just love the lyrics from Comfortably Numb:

Hello, is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now,
I hear you're feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I'll need some information first.
Just the basic facts.
Can you show me where it hurts?

Amazing stuff.

i love ppink floyd my parents love pink floyd, they love pink floyd enough to name me after them, hi im barrett. my favorite song is......... i like em all the same the ooone with the best lyrics is definitly dogs
You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer.
And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you've sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone
Dragged down by the stone.
I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everythings done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.
genius....

My parents had an argument about that song. My mom thought it was about drugs, which it probably is, but my dad didnt think so..Answer please?

Have you ever seen the movie?

if hes asking that question...most likely no

[QUOTE=KingofDudes]Have you ever seen the movie?[/QUOTE]
Wait...OMG! You mean the part where he goes like...comatose after doing lotsa drugs! Man, I love that part, cause he's like....dead almost! lol :rolleyes:

^
I love that part..... The wall is just the most amazing album I've ever heard! But some people only listen to the hit songs off of Pink Floyd albums. There are some idiots out there that where Pink Floyd shirts yet they only know the songs: Money, Wish You Were Here, and Comfortably Numb. Don't get me wrong.... those songs are amazing....but there are better ones. To fullly understand Pink Floyd you must listen to their albums all the way through.
And by the way, the most haunting Pink Floyd lyrics are from: Goodbye Blue Sky. But that isn't my favorite song..... it's a tie between Nobody Home and The Great Gig In The Sky.

Relics and Saucerful of secrets are amaaaazing Pink Floyd albums.

The nile song is one of the best Floyd songs.

underrated albums.

Yes, all of their studio albums are the kind that you have to listen in order, otherwise you miss out on the whole feel and tone of the album.

The sarcasm is biting :rolleyes:

I wasn't being sarcastic you silly man.


Or was I?

anyone else use that? You can download 'David Gilmour in concert' at the concert video section, good stuff

ill be getting ummagumma soon, i have a bootleg version of it (not all songs were played, some of "saucer" was played too), but it gave me a good idea of what ummagumma will be like. but, i will always be a fan of all of their albums.
