[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]You lucky bum. I'd definitely be willing to drop all that money to find all of the Pink Floyd records.

As for the whole lyrics thing, I can see it in some cases, but definitely not others. Lyrics like Time or Money don't seem very Beatles-esque.[/QUOTE]

The lyrics to Time don't strike me as very beatlesy at all.

there are, however, very good lyrics indeed...

man, i love that song.

You know I think Saucerful of Secrets is really underrated. Right now I'm getting into Corporal Clegg.

I like the guitar part in ABItW Pt.1, after the lyrics. A lot of people think that song drags on, but I enjoy Gilmour's licks there.

I never got into much syd era stuff.

Harsh as it sounds, I find syd inspired more great music than he actually made.

its so different though, its kinda hard to compare syd and gilmour eras.

Saucerful is the band without Syd, and he only wrote a few of the songs on the album.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Saucerful is the band without Syd, and he only wrote a few of the songs on the album.[/QUOTE]

ah, ok.

which [I]'Saucerful' [/I] stuff is on echoes?

My 'floyd collection is rather thin I'm afraid, i'm fairly new to it all

I have dark side aswell, and a tape of great dance songs (charity shop find, 75p :thumb: ) and i found those 2 albums in my dad's CD collection

which would you advise i buy first, wish you were here or meddle? I really liked "one of these days", but shine on is an utter classic, and wish you were here is a nice song.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Saucerful is the band without Syd, and he only wrote a few of the songs on the album.[/QUOTE]

Yea but he picked a great song to go out on (Jugband Blues).

Get the one you know less about. Then it's more rewarding.

[QUOTE=Otherside]Get the one you know less about. Then it's more rewarding.[/QUOTE]

meddle it is then

thanks

I just recently got into Pink Floyd. I've always known who they are but never [I]really[/I] listened to them. Welcome to the Machine = the ****e

Meddle is very good, I'd get that one.

In recent news, Waiting For The Worms is a very creepy song. The lyrics are...chilling?

[QUOTE=magicbus]Meddle is very good, I'd get that one.

I love that track. It really gives me the chills.

Yea man, but I just realized the part on The Trial when the judge comes in actually gives me goosebumps. So I'd say this is the most chilling part on the album.

I love waiting for the worms. Call me weird, but In the Flesh and Waiting for the Worms are my favorite tracks on the CD. (Along with Hey You)

[QUOTE=magicbus]Yea man, but I just realized the part on The Trial when the judge comes in actually gives me goosebumps. So I'd say this is the most chilling part on the album.[/QUOTE]

From the Show Must Go On to the end of the album is an amazing experience, to me.

/nazi :p


Yea lunch, I agree. It gets very good.

People think im crazy for liking The Trial so much, but i think its one of the best, and strongest tracks on the album.

I dont really care much for waiting for the worms, i dont know why, it doesnt appeal to me

I really like waiting for the worms also, it sounds really neat with both of em singing.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]You know I think Saucerful of Secrets is really underrated. Right now I'm getting into Corporal Clegg.[/QUOTE]

I bought a kazoo so I could play that song. hehe. Me=Lame :p

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the end of the Wall. It is just entirely too dark for my tastes. I still appreciate it, but I just feel so bad after listening to it. :p

Check my postcount. :eek:

[QUOTE=Distant Echoes]People think im crazy for liking The Trial so much, but i think its one of the best, and strongest tracks on the album.[/QUOTE]
I love/like it a lot too.

IMO, the second disk is way better than the first.

I like the first disk better off Is There Anybody Out There. What Shall we do Now I think was one of the strongest songs on the album. Also there is a lot more jamming between the band. On the studio I prefer the second disk though.

I think I prefer the end up disc one and the beginning of disc 2. The middle section. :lol:

Disc 1.5?

:lame:

[QUOTE=magicbus]Yea man, but I just realized the part on The Trial when the judge comes in actually gives me goosebumps. So I'd say this is the most chilling part on the album.[/QUOTE]


That part in the Wall (movie) is so haunting......It makes me shudder.

[QUOTE=kombucha mushroom mofo]I think I prefer the end up disc one and the beginning of disc 2. The middle section. :lol:

:lame:[/QUOTE]

Conceptually the transition doesn't make much sense, but it is very strong musically.

I prefer the second disc, personally. Is There Anybody Out There is one of my favorite songs ever.

Anyone listen to the tribute band Blue Floyd? Theyre coming soon to a local venue of mine.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I prefer the second disc, personally. Is There Anybody Out There is one of my favorite songs ever.[/QUOTE]

Yea I think Roger said that that and Nobody Home were his favorites.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I prefer the second disc, personally. Is There Anybody Out There is one of my favorite songs ever.[/QUOTE]

Well, I cannot judge either the first or second disc... It's really a matter of what I feel like at the time. Although Goodbye Blue Sky, The Thin Ice, In The Flesh? and Mother are on disc one, Waiting For The Worms, The Trial, Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb are on disc two. How can I choose!

Anyone like [I]More[/I]?

[QUOTE=Schyma]Anyone like [I]More[/I]?[/QUOTE]

I really like the soundtrack to the motion picture. Favourtie song is definitely The Nile Song

Hey guys! Welcome to my first post...

I'm doing an assignment for college whereby I have to describe why the 7/4 rhythm in 'Money' is unusual...Sounds like a dumb assignment? Yeah...:(

Being more than a little lacklustre in my knowledge of music theory terms, coupled with the fact that talking about music theory is like dancing about geometry, I'm struggling...Can any one help out?

Cheers!

My freind lent me "Is there anybody out there" (the wall live) and i didn't like it very much at all...

I agree, I personally didn't like the flanger he used on a lot of solo's.

[QUOTE=Purple Floyd]That part in the Wall (movie) is so haunting......It makes me shudder.[/QUOTE]

that whole movie is weird... watch it at 4 in the morning with your band when your all so tired you throw ur shoes at them if they talk.... then its fun!

What exactly do you mean by 'describing' the time signature?

[QUOTE=Med57]I love Nobody Home. I suddenly realised the other day how monstrously good that song is, and that's what tipped the balance for me in favour of liking Disc 2 more. Basically I think that the second half of Disc 1 can drag a bit sometimes, whereas Disc 2 is absolute quality all the way through, and, being a geek, the story of Disc 2 is more interesting for me as well.



I fully agree. It sounds like absolutely nothing else, but it's genius. Even just from a musical point of view, there's just so much going on that you don't notice at first, and the rhythm under the first part of the song, that always seems to be teetering on turning into discord is brilliant as well.



I don't suppose there's any chance of you ever sending that to me on AIM...(A)[/QUOTE]


I have Live in Venice if you want me to upload that...

Guys, I've heard that Pink Floyd did a cover of 'Stairway to Heaven.'

One of my friends says he has it, but I haven't been able to hear it, since the first time he told me about it, I wasn't into Pink Floyd and now when I asked him for it, his sister had taken the CD.

So, is it true?

Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Learning To Fly
Yet Another Movie
Round And Around
Sorrow
The Dogs Of War
On The Turning Away
Time
The Great Gig In The Sky
Wish You Were Here
Money
Another Brick In The Wall, part two
Comfortably Numb
Run Like Hell

The quality isn't that great, and it's post-waters, but it's still pretty good. Nick uses these crazy red green and blue pulsating drum sticks.

First of all, I think the time sig is actually 7/8. I could be wrong, but I think that's what it is.

Money is so 'unique' because almost every song that gets a lot of air time on the radio is written in 4/4 time.
