I despise AMLOR, but enjoy Division Bell. Learning to Fly is cool but it's too poppy for me to place it on a pedestal.

My favorite songs of Pink Floyd are the trippy ones with structure. I don't like the really poppy ones.

Same here, but LTF is the only exception.

Actually, Fearless is kind of poppy, but I like that one. I think it's off Meddle.

It is from Meddle, it's amazing how much it sounds like Dark Side of the Moon.

Yea, DSotM really does sound alot like a cleaned -up version of Meddle.

I was going to say the same thing.

I don't like Dark Side of the Moon that much, I mean there are so many other Pink Floyd cds that are much better.

DSOTM is the most popular album among fanboys, but that doesn't make it a bad album. I think it was a great album, everything about it is good and right.

Actually I think MLOR is more hard rock than poppy, so I suppose it is commercialised, but then, I can't be bothered being [i]that[/i] elitist. :)

Oh no I don't get me wrong Dark Side of the Moon is a great album, but compared to their other work I'm kind of wondering why thats so well known.

I think DSOTM is the most perfect album composed - in terms that everything aimed for the creation of it was matched perfectly. IMO, i think its the best, but id understand other peoples for not liking it the most, with the fact of its perfectness still standing.

I think DSOTM is the perfect introductory album for Pink Floyd. It's very 'listener friendly.' In fact, if it wasn't for that album, I wouldn't be into Pink Floyd.

I saw the Wall first... I liked it and all, but it never inspired me to buy something from them. After giving DSOTM a try, I really took a liking to them and how they were and decided to start buying some of their other stuff.

After i got used to all the albums from 73-79, their major concept albums, it was sort of hard to cope with their pre-DSOTM works, but after listening to each song, its sort of trippy in its own individual way...so i found it easy to get used to quickly.

NP: set the controls for the heart of the sun

STCFTHOTS (man, that's a big acronym) is a weird song. It's not the greatest when you listen to it, (to me, at least) but it's really infectious. It's been in my head for weeks.

You know I've been thinking about it, and Pink Floyd really stopped working good together as a band after Meddle. In their pre Meddle days all the instruments played a huge role. As they went on the instrumentals dropped off until after they broke up.

yeah, i don't see whats so good about it too, people are always talking about the guitar solo on Time and other things from the album but their stuff off of Meddle or Animals is a lot more complex. i think all it is is DSotM is so calm and relaxing, compared to their other stuff, a great album to mellow out to or other things.

Thats very true, I know exactly what you mean.

I love DSOTM. Sure, Meddle can be more complex, but I think DSOTM flows better than any of their albums, except possibly WYWH.

eh?

All the instruments are used on both of the Shine on you crazy Diamonds. Dogs brilliantly fuses the guitar and keyboard. I would say the instruments dropped off from "The Wall" to "MLOR".

Your right about Shine on you crazy Diamond, but for a cd that has three 10 min+ songs on it Gilmour dominated a lot (not that thats a bad thing), their other 10 min+ songs all the instruments play their own part.

Actually the more I think about it, the more I realize that Wright dominated that album.

He was the backbone of SOYCD
He pwnz Welcome to the Machine
He has amazing synths on Have a Cigar

But he is missing on WYWH.

Yea I had to think again about my statment because I didn't think of WYWH for some reason. In many ways that was the end of his huge role in the band...but what a way to go out.

I really like the songs on it. Time is my favorite song of all time...

Something for you fans. A Tattoo I plan on getting, symbolising my girlfriend and I. You see, we both love Pink Floyd, so I worked in no less that 5 Floyd references. Rep to anyone who can pick all 5.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]WYWH is my favourite Floyd song... strange?[/QUOTE]

That used to be my favorite too until I got more into the jam band songs.

WYWH word banner
DSOTM heart
WYWH handshake pose
PF on the banner

one more...

last thing might be a Piper at the Gates of Dawn reference because it seems medieval like that
