I believe it's the video for comfortably numb.

[QUOTE=Spinal Pap]That's how I got into Floyd too, my dad bought me a copy of Dark Side. I didn't like it at first, that was when I first got into classic rock and my favorite band was Zeppelin. It was so much different. It took me about a month to really get into it.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much the same thing happened with me. I was getting into Led Zeppelin and decided I should start collecting vinyl of classic rock. I was digging in a crate on a second hand market and came across DSOTM and the cover looked familiar but I browsed further. Luckily my father stood behind me and convinced me to buy that album as well since it was only 50 cents. My first vinyl albums were some really good ones (i.e. DSOTM, Led Zeppelin's II and IV and Neil Young's Harvest (also a suggestion of my dad)). I liked it from the start but didn't gave it too much attention until one day I decided to get some other Pink Floyd albums (which were Wish You Were Here and The Wall).:)

Yea I colect vinyl too. But I've never been able to find any floyd. I've got some good Zep and Hendrix...basicaly all the good 60's bands. I need to get DSOTM
though.

Most of their vinyls aren't too hard to find except maybe PATGOD... I think you can find that one for the same price as a cd if you search a little tho. I see The Wall and DSOTM all the time on second hand markets... :)

I never have and I search a couple times a month. I'm not sure why I can't
find them. They sold so many darn copies

Try ebay. You can get them for 5 bucks or something on there.

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]IMO, The Devision Bell gets that title ... And Wish You Were Here[/QUOTE]

I don't know, most of the solos on TDB just don't convey the same type of emotion for me that the ones off The Wall do. WYWH has some good ones though, the solo in the first part of SOYCD is one of my favorites.

I love the guitar playing on TDB, I think it's very emotional. Also, the tone is just orgasmic.

Yea but shipping is always a hassle...but you are right they are on there
if I ever get desparrate I'll pick a copy up

^ tons of them

I'm sure you can get them on amazon as well.

i just wanna clarify
the waters era pink floyd didn't do drugs right?

i was always under the impression that they didn't do that much, probably pot and ****

First off, Pink Floyd I agree is a great band, I own a bunch of their albums, but why should it be labeled "The most Influential"? I have been wondering this for quite a great deal of time. Can anybody give me a valid reasoning or list of examples of Pink Floyd's influences in the music of today? If someone could try and post it that would be great.

No, they didn't really do drugs much, contrary to popular belief.

Pink Floyd's influence can be seen in stuff like Radiohead, and less explicitly in other progressive bands like Tool. But, I'd say most - if not all - progressive bands today are in some way influenced by Pink Floyd, whether or not they realize it.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I'm sure you can get them on amazon as well.[/QUOTE]
Never knew Amazon sold vinyl. Thought they only did cd's...

I can't see a way that a single modern Prog rock band doesn't have a distinct Floyd influence. I mean, lots of The Mars Volta screams Pink Floyd, and Dream Theater often make a point of how much Pink Floyd inspired them.

Bottom line if you've ever tried to record something you have to have a deep
respect for the Floyd. And if you're ever claimed to enjoy good music you are
gonna respect Floyd. I can see some big influences in those bands you mentioned. One of the cool things about them is they reach out to lots of people
and you can just feel the emotion and that what they are doing is important to them.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I love the guitar playing on TDB, I think it's very emotional. Also, the tone is just orgasmic.[/QUOTE]

Don't get me wrong, I really like TDB, and I'm not saying it's not emotional, I just get a stronger emotional vibe from The Wall.

The Intro of Coming Back To Life is superb especially on Pulse, it's like one big 0rgasm ... :rolleyes: ;)

[QUOTE=Dragon_Prince]The Intro of Coming Back To Life is superb especially on Pulse, it's like one big 0rgasm ... :rolleyes: ;)[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it won't be long before the DVD is out. My plans for the 5th of December = watch Pulse all day.

[QUOTE=robo2448]Well there's the movie. And the DVD has special features with some interviews and insights, so the special features are kind of like a documentary.[/QUOTE]
Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' is so amazing. The incredible concept which is somewhat based on Roger Water's childhood is magnificant. Therefore 'The Wall' movie and album, surpasses 'Dark Side of the Moon' in my book.

I've been listening to that album a lot lately. I have DSOTHM, The Wall, and WYWH, what should be the next album? Maybe Animals?

Yes. Then Meddle.

I'd also like to say that The Wall was their worst album from 71-79.

Hmmm, I think that "honor" goes to Obscurred by Clouds, actually.

Meh, I don't count that one. I was under the impression it wasn't actually an "album." Seems it is. Oh well, I'll omit it anyway, because I kick a[size="2"]s[/size]s.

:lol: It's such garbage compared to Meddle and DSOTM.

I figured as much, which is why I've stayed far away from it.
I think I'll continue to do so.

Yeah, I know you secretly listen to it in the middle of the night when no one else is around.

[QUOTE=Britton]The greatest guitarist of all time? No way! off the top of my head I can tell
you tons of other people that are much better. Roger is better with lyrics
enough said. Granted Gilmour has tons of talent. but still you can't say that
Dave is the best at anything...he was/is very good though[/QUOTE]

Name me 10 better guitarists. I can name 10 other guitarists who are great, but still nowhere near as good. (In no particular order):

1. Brian May (Queen)
2. Steve Howe (Yes)
3. Eric Clapton (Solo, Cream, Derek & the Dominoes, The Yardbirds)
4. Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
5. Slash (Guns 'n' Roses, Velvet Revolver)
6. Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)
7. Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)
8. Randy Rhoads (Blizzard of Ozz)
9. Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin)
10. Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple)

Here, we see some of the greatest guitar players ever to have lived, but still they cannot live up to the standard of Dave Gilmour. I know that all have different styles, but they all have a certain level of skill. That level of skill, whichever guitarist you care to name, does not match up to Gilmour. I realise I am repeating myself a bit, but I cannot name a single other greater person ever to have lived. May sound extreme, but it's true.

[QUOTE=DeusExMachina]I think JakLovesStrats is a fake account. That's the only explanation.

That being said, Gilmour's tone on TDB is like aural sex (omfg punz lol).[/QUOTE]

Fake account? How do you figure that one out?

Jak, I banned you for making comments like that, and then you come back and make more. Bloody hell.

--------------------------------

And yes, a lot of the avant garde metal acts have Pink Floyd influences, also.

I think Obscured by Clouds is Pink Floyd's most tragically underrated and unappreciated album. The opening tracks Obscured by Clouds and When You're In are just great rock music, with less of the ponderousness of the following albums. Wots... Uh The Deal is a ballad which rivals Wish You Were Here for sheer beauty, and Free Four is a great 70s pop/rock tune, something completely original in Floyd's catalogue (much like the rest of the album :))

OBC has some great slide guitar work aswell.

/would add more, but has to go to street law class

[QUOTE=Kingofdudes]OBC has some great slide guitar work aswell.

/would add more, but has to go to street law class[/QUOTE]If they could take about 3/4 of OBC and a couple of songs from More, they could re-release it as "Pink Floyd: The Soundtracks" and it would be amazing

So I'm planning on buying 'Relics' in a short amount of time. Is it any good. I'm buying it 'cos I've run out of them to buy, I have the famous four and I dunno what to get next. So I decided 'Relics.'

Which albums do you have? Relics is kind of a compilation album, and IMO there are better ones you can buy first.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Which albums do you have? Relics is kind of a compilation album, and IMO there are better ones you can buy first.[/QUOTE]
Animals, WYWH, DSOTM, TW = Floyds Famous Four.

I would go with Meddle or Obscured By Clouds next to help make the transition to the early years. Or you could go all out and get Piper At the Gates of Dawn.

Yea, I'd also suggest Meddle, then probably OBC. Meddle is tied with DSOTM and WYWH for my favorite Floyd album.
