haha. 123'd. I have almost my entire Pink Floyd discography on almost constant rotation. I do take a break from certain era's though, I'm on a bit of a Dave binge recently.

That is my favourite Gilmour-era song by a long way, followed by Coming Back To Life probably ... it's just that when Waters left the music kinda moved towards more peaceful themes ... if you know what I mean ...

Waters-era all the way :thumb:

It's hard to say. However, Pink Floyd aren't the most creative band I've heard from their era, and style.[/QUOTE]

I kinda disagree with this to be honest man; DSOTM for example is a completely unique album ...

DSOTM, I agree it is a very unique album.

I've always liked High Hopes (the guitar solo is wow..) and Wearing The Inside Out.

High Hopes is the best song of the Gilmour led era, I refuse to accept any other opinion.

I'd say they were one of the most creative for their time but not for [I]Darkside[/I]...etc; [I]Piper of the Gates of Dawn[/I] was [B]easily[/B] their most unique album.

Well this could get interesting. PATGOD might be more unique because DSOTM has a similar style to WYWH, OBC, and some of their later work (at least more so than Piper's similarities with any other Floyd album), but does that mean Piper is more creative?

Their most unique album was probably [I]Animals[/I], really, because you have the pairing of [I]Piper At The Gates Of Dawn[/I] and [I]Saucerful Of Secrets[/I].

You could also pair up [I]More[/I] and [I]Obscured By Clouds[/I], [I]Meddle[/I] and [I]Atom Heart Mother[/I], and concievably connect [I]Wish You Were Here[/I], [I]Darkside Of The Moon[/I], [I]The Wall[/I] and [I]The Final Cut[/I], though perhaps in a bit more twisted fashion.

And it's easy to put [I]A Momentary Lapse of Reason[/I] with [I]The Division Bell[/I].

But [I]Animals[/I] has that unique kind of "vibe", that dark proto-punk imagery that you hear in a lot of [B]Dogs[/B] and [B]Sheep[/B].

I actually think [I]Animals[/I] was one of their least creative albums. It sounds like any old Progressive band could have pulled that off. I think they lost a-lot of their uniqueness on [I]Animals[/I]. [I]Saucerful Of Secrets [/I]doesn't sound at all like [I]Piper[/I]; a mere mediocre attempt at replicating a masterpiece. (except for the one Barrett written song)

Nothing is better than The Wall on Vinyl.

Strange, I've never looked at the albums in that way but I definitely see those connections now. I sort of unconsciously put Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Final Cut in the same group, even though musically they are quite different. It's just that they oppose(and yet mirror) each other in that The Final Cut was almost soley Roger Waters and MLOR was a complete lack of him.

It's not just the music though. It's the lyrics, and more importantly the concept of the album's rustic sound. Anyone could have made music like that, but did Pink Floyd.....?

[QUOTE=deejuks2]Nothing is better than The Wall on Vinyl.[/QUOTE]

Dark side of the moon on vinyl in the dark while intoxicated.

Seriously, i've listened to some Floyd vinyls; the remastering on the cds completely sucks the quality right out of them. Same goes for most Hendrix and Zeppelin.

This is so cliche, but Darkside really is an amazing album when your under the influence. I've been rediscovering it lately anyway, it's so incredible.

I haven't listened to any Pink Floyd for a month. But it's just because I played the hell out of everything I owned before that. Next time I listen to them, it will be great again.

I haven't been listening to them much latley.. I do that every once in a while, go through a metal phase. Like latley I've been listening to pretty much Children of Bodom, Opeth, Black Dahlia Murder, Norma Jean, Necrophagist.. etc. Plus I've been working and going to school. I've had literally one hour to myself the last 3 days.

Heh, for me a dry spell of Pink Floyd is 70 songs in one week. :p

Maybe one day I'll wake up and say "I hate Pink Floyd". :-/

I did. I fell asleep listening to them and had these wacko nightmares.


Then I listened to them again andl iked them, but I'm not gonna fall asleep listening to em again.

[QUOTE=Anglachel]I did. I fell asleep listening to them and had these wacko nightmares.[/QUOTE]

about what?

i hadn't listened to them for a couple weeks and put it on today... it really relaxed me. possibly because i was listening to shine on you crazy diamond, high hopes, learning to fly, etc. easy listening type stuff.

My friend told me he would put on some Floyd before falling asleep to have cool dreams, he called the playlist "Pink Dreams". He was usually extremely high before doing so though.

I dont remember what the dreams were about, it was like years ago. But it freaked me out so much I remember being afraid to this day.

I went to sleep high once and decided I wasted weed.

Listenin to pink floyd while
sleepin brings out awesome
dreams

Rune Like Hell is such a great track :)

I've got Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Animals, DSOTM, The Wall and WYWH. what should i get next?

maybe like "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" or somethin

I recommend Meddle, and then Ummagumma and Obscured By Clouds.

Nice avatar by the way magicbus.

[QUOTE=kingofthedrums22]I've got Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Animals, DSOTM, The Wall and WYWH. what should i get next?[/QUOTE]

I would say Meddle and then Obscurred by Clouds

[QUOTE=inassociationwithdeanlearner]Nice avatar by the way magicbus.[/QUOTE]

Thank ye kindly.

I'd also recommend Pulse to the guy looking for a new album. But Meddle, Pulse, then Obscured By Clouds in that order I think.
