Comfortably Numb is one of my favorite floyd songs. I can listen to it over and over without getting sick of it.

I agree, the solo in that is amazing.

Same for me with Time and Us And Them

I have been listening to Us and Them a lot lately. I love the points in the song when all the vocals and instruments blend together. The only thing is, they can only capture that in the studio, live it is lacking a bit.

Yes, it isn't as good live. Time is better live though, I think.

floyd is one of my all time favorite bands, but to be honest, comfortably numb is one of my least favorite of theirs. ive seen the wall movie shrooming, high, and sober for a combined like 50 times probably, and it blows me away, as does the album itself, but that song just doesnt do it for me. animals and the wall are my two favorite albums, with songs like echoes, shine on, atom heart mother suite, anotther brick III, and the "live at pompeii" version of "saucerful of secrets" (gilmour's vocal solo in that is beautiful,) coming up as my favorite songs.

what do you all think of atom heart mother as anal bum (that was a typo at first but i left it haha)

question #2: what do you all think gilmours greatest solo was? Id go with shine on you crazy diamond, and dogs coming in #2, off my head.

What do people think of The Final Cut? listened to it the other day, The Fletcher Memorial Home is a great song

^I've got The Final Cut on cd somewhere but I've never listened to it properly.

I'm going to have to go and find it later, along with Animals.

Pink Floyd isn't that good to me.

pink floyd
 

I think that Pink Floyd is truely one of the best bands out of the progressive rock era. not only roger waters' mind blowing lyrics but simply composition if you listen closely there are many effect, female vocalists, trumpets, synths, sax, etc. The Wall was the greatest record they produced.


If you are a true Pink Floyd fan you must see the video, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Wall

Even posers have seen them.

What're you talking about? Be a bit more intelligent with your reasoning behind these things. You state as fact that the Wall is their best album, but provide no evidence, and many of the reasons you state Pink Floyd is a great band don't even come into the wall. There is no sax, trumpets, or female vocals on that album (that come to mind at least, correct me if I'm wrong)

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Which early Pink Floyd CD's are worth getting? I've got Piper At The Gates of Dawn, Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, DSOTM, and everything after DSOTM (excluding some of the live things and compilations, like Echoes and A Collection of Great Dance Songs. I do have Pulse and Is There Anybody Out There, though)[/QUOTE]

I took a risk on Obscured By Clouds, Floyd's second movie soundtrack, but it is really good. Definitely overlooked and really worth having.

Awesome. Thanks man. I'll probably buy everything eventually, but I wasn't sure what to get next.

So much Pink Floyd hate in these forums. :upset:

Really? I haven't come across too much, but thats weak. Pink Floyd is awesome.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]Awesome. Thanks man. I'll probably buy everything eventually, but I wasn't sure what to get next.[/QUOTE]

Hopefully I will just have it all one day.

That "Respected Bands you dont like thread", everyone is saying Pink Floyd.

Bah to them :mad:

So if I only have Wish You Were Here, which album should I get next?

Dark Side of the Moon
Animals
The Wall

All are good albums

Animals > All other Pink Floyd

Animals is great.

To KingofDudes:Those people just can't understand the genious of Pink Floyd.

[QUOTE=Berty]So if I only have Wish You Were Here, which album should I get next?[/QUOTE]
You will get DSOTM, The Wall, and Animals.

[QUOTE=KingofDudes]That "Respected Bands you dont like thread", everyone is saying Pink Floyd.

Yea, they were all making me very angry :angry: I hope they get hurt in the near future.

Should I get Meddle?

I'm already planning on buying Animals, The Wall, and Piper at the gates of dawn

Yes. Meddle is a very good album, but get those three (Animals, The Wall and PATGOD first, as they will help you settle into the more conceptual Floyd. :)

Anything with the song Comfortably Numb on it is good

[QUOTE=Medopalis]Yeah, Meddle is a great album. I actually got that before PATGOD, but Animals and The Wall are more essential buys than Meddle. I was really surprised when I finally heard Echoes actually, as I was expecting to maybe be a bit underwhelmed after everything I'd heard about it, but all the hype really is justified.[/QUOTE]
Bah, doubting us? :p
Echoes really is great :thumb:

i like learning to fly, brain damage, the wall ..

[QUOTE=snare]i like learning to fly, brain damage, the wall ..[/QUOTE]


Just starting out?

[QUOTE=Big-Bird]Should I get Meddle?

Yes, meddle is my 5th favorite Pink Floyd album. Get it now.

I just went to a local cd store, and i bought two bootleg floyd dvd's, as well as delicate sound of thunder and a performance at Earls Court in 1980

and IMO, the best gilmour solo is the Pulse version of Comfortably Numb (second solo), or the second Dogs solo
I also really like the second Pigs (Three Different Ones) solo, although the one with the talkbox is pretty cool...
Another favorite of mine is the solo in Echoes, it just fits the song perfectly

What are people's favorite floyd rhythm tracks?
for me....its the chords in Breathe

another brick in the wall

great song wierd at the end what does that person say?

cant have any pudding if you dont eat your feet? lol i cant figure it out

you can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat
how can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat

My favorite rhythm is probably Great Gig in the Sky (yeah, its piano, but so what?) And my favorite solo is probably the SOYCD solo. That song is just brilliant. WYWH is definitely the best Pink Floyd CD.

[QUOTE=Lord Brummington]I like Pink Floyd without being high or anything, but I'm still going to listen to it whilst high to see if it lives up to its hype.

Has anyone seen the Aussie Pink Floyd? They really are amazing, if you get chance to see them, go and do it.

You won't regret it.[/QUOTE]

I just got to the aus pink floyd show for nov 19, there not that great of seats but ill tell you how it was after ive seen so far ive heard its almost as good has seeing Pink Floyd

My guitar teacher saw the Pink Floyd 3 times, ranging from the early 70's shows to the Pulse tour, and he's seen the Aussie Pink Floyd. Apparently, the Aussie Pink Floyd is not as spectacular of a light show type thing, but just as good sounding. Me, I loved the Aussie show.

:( I want to see them, but they arent touring near me.

Bummer. I saw them way back in April, when they did a really selective North America tour. Now they're doing a bigger one, but I moved since then and won't be able to see the show... go figure.
