[Tyler Revolution]

This a thread to discuss everything Pink Floyd. From your favorite album and songs, to the members solo work, and everything in between.

Fav album - Wish You Were Here
Fav song - Comfortably Numb

[Groogz]

I bought their 'Pulse' DVD when it came out a few months ago and it's amazing! As for my favorite album, I'd have to go with 'Dark Side of the Moon'.

[laryssa]

I would love to see Rogers Waters and David Gilmour perform together but I don't think it will ever happen aside from my DVDs.

I have that as well, and it's amazing.

[Tyler Revolution]

My favorite album would have to be Dark Side of The Moon, probably. It used to be the Wall, but I'm starting to lean toward Dark Side. Favorite song would have to be Comfortably Numb, though. It's such a beautiful song, and it has my all time favorite solo.

[Tyler Revolution]

I would love to see Rogers Waters and David Gilmour perform together but I don't think it will ever happen aside from my DVDs.

That would be a dream come true.

[SlightlyStoopid]

darkside used to be my favorite

it is one of the best albums of all-time

(not just an opinion, its practically science proven)

but i lean more on "wish you were here" and "animals"

"3 pigs" and "shine on you..." kick it

and the songs off of the "live at pompeii" dvd are great

I burned them on my comp cause they kill the actual recordings



I saw roger waters live last sept., and anyone here who went might agree he killed anything the rest of the gang ever put.

[Harold Wood]

animals

hands down

[Adeniz19]

wish you were here is brilliance. i could listen to that cd all day

[FeynmanWannabe]

I listened to The Wall for the first time in a while today.


Mother is one of my favorite songs. Plus, I like the solo. :-)

[mike_46_rossi]

omg i listened to 11 albums of floyd's last night and I had it on full blast and it was amazing.

[cahrishurr]

my favorite classic rock band...i have basically everything studio and live on album

i really love shine on you crazy diamond, that song is so amazing

[fenderkid212]

My fav is Dark Side, but I really like the Wall too.

Fav Song= Any colour you like.

[Smithers]

dark side is such an amazing album. and i get chills everytime i hear "welcome my son, welcome to the machine!"

i've heard the album gilmour put out last year and unfortunately it's garbage, IMO.

[Smash Adams]

Am I the only one here who prefers syd to gilmour?
pipers also has interstellar overdrive, which is a good instrumental.

[Raff]

One of the biggest bands of all times. Sadly they're underrated, and don't get the credit they deserve. Their contribution to contemporary music is absolutely beyond any real attempt to describe it.

[atticus1492]

Fav album - Wish You Were Here
Fav song - Comfortably Numb

I can agree with that.

[Brokenhill]

Hmm....The Wall would have to be my favorite.

Its just so amazing from start to finish, and I love how long it is...

The movie is sweet too

[neverstore]

Wish You Were Here is my favorite song I think... And The Wall my favorite album. And P-Floyd is my favorite tribute band!

[silverbeatle]

Piper At the Gates of Dawn is their best album by far. Syd Barrett is one of the greatest musicians and poets.
My favorite song by the band is probably "Interstellar Overdrive" Just because it's so chaotic, it's like a musical definition of chaos.

Syd Barrett probably has had the biggest influence on my own writing, and also how I look at things. Ever since Barrett, the abstract world has become one of the most important things.

Long live the Madcap.

[rosieh93]

hmm....The Wall would have to be my favorite. Just barely tho.

Its just so amazing from start to finish, and I love how long it is...

He really was a genius. It's sad that his talent was pretty much wasted.

Sorry lol, that was one of my first posts.

[3mpire]

Wish You Were Here is my favourite album by them.

Fav song... erm, prob Time or Wish You Were Here.

[Blared]

Echoes changed me musically. I love that song. Animals is one of my favorite. No one gives it enough credit.

[rosieh93]

Sorry lol, that was one of my first posts.

haha, no problem.

[Brokenhill]

The Wall still remains my favorite album by them.

My favorite songs are:

Comfortably Numb
Us and Them
Time
Welcome To The Machine
Shine on you Crazy Diamond
In The Flesh?
Goodbye Blue Sky
Nobody Home
Two Suns in the Sunset

[Shiny_Boots]

we dont need no educayshun

[summer skin]

Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
The rest is pretentious slop.

[Brokenhill]

Oh, by the Way was released recently.

It's sick...I wish I had this.

http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/obtw/

[Yes. And?]

I've gone from being completely indifferent to this band to borderline disliking them, all thanks to one person, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Well done. :appl:

[Brokenhill]

This should stay on the first few pages...

No explanation needed.

I'm thoroughly enjoying Animals and The Final Cut.

Can't wait till I get Meddle next, that and Atom Heart Mother

[Koopato]

i've only heard the wall and dark side. didn't like the wall all that much. but dark sides cool. time is my favourite song off it, love everything about it.

[SickOfStars]

I've gone from being completely indifferent to this band to borderline disliking them, all thanks to one person, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I absolutely fucking adore this band. Can that please bump you up to at least indifference???

[summer skin]

Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
The rest is pretentious slop.
Quoted for sexy.

[level8loser]

some of it is pretentious, but that is the point. still, to this day, "one of these days im going to cut you into little pieces" and "careful with that axe, eugene" are fucking classics.

[Brokenhill]

Wots...uh the deal?

[yoyoninjagirl]

Dark Side of The Moon is my favorite.

[Brokenhill]

Favorite song off of it?

[lake of tears]

Mine is Division Bell

Coming back to life

[Brokenhill]

Ahh...

[SickOfStars]

hahahahahaha, nice reaction.


at least division bell is better than a momentary lapse of shut the fuck up and die in a car crash this album is awful

[Brokenhill]

Pink Floyd and awful can't appear in the same sentence.

[SickOfStars]

Pink Floyd and awful can't appear in the same sentence.

Pink Floyd's album, 'A Momentary Lapse of Reason' is awful.

Oh.

Bump your "The Wall" thread.

[SickOfStars]

Bump your "The Wall" thread.

sure thing kiddo

[Brokenhill]

Some kid on another forum was arguing with me, he says that Pink Floyd isn't unique and is bland and way overhyped.

He claims PF, LZ, BS, and a few other bands as some of the "dumbest bands ever".

He claims PF, LZ, BS, and a few other bands as some of the "dumbest bands ever".

that's because of the tie-dyed t-shirt, generally stupid, hot topic, "I love rawk" kids that make up their young fanbase.

[Brokenhill]

I asked him what bands he though were "amazing" then...he listed a whole bunch of punk and metal stuff I hadn't heard of...

Let me find it...

[Brokenhill]

Here...

Sirenia. Anything Morten Veland touches, like the early years of Tristania. Psyclon Nine, or at least their recent album. Kamelot, during and after Karma. Carcass for inventing Goregrind single handedly. Etc

[SickOfStars]

Subgenres of grind......... kid's too l33t to touch

[Brokenhill]

Lol.

[Brokenhill]

Doesn't matter, they can't touch Floyd.

[El_Jeffe]

righto steveo, hit me mate. i've only heard 3 of the big floyd albums (courtesy of my old neighbour), the wall, dark side of the moon & wish you were here. what should i check next?

[Brokenhill]

Animals. Definitely.

[El_Jeffe]

sweet as, i'll get on it. cheers

[SickOfStars]

also, with animals. I'd suggest hammering on that one for a while. I think it's probably the least accessible of the "big" floyd albums.

[Brokenhill]

I think it's the most underrated.

[Brokenhill]

Exciting news, but I have my doubts.

all of floyd or no floyd. roger needs to fucking suck it up already.

[Brokenhill]

I would be happy to hear David, Rick, and Nick though.

If Roger came back it would be insane.

[Brokenhill]

Oh yea and I just started listening to A Momentary Lapse of Reason for the first time...so far it's not bad.

There's no way it can be "awful".

[SickOfStars]

Exactly, and I will tolerate nothing less than insanity and mayhem

[Brokenhill]

Just because an album doesn't feature Roger, doesn't mean it's bad.

[Brokenhill]

Oh and for anyone who wants to hear anythign by Floyd, go here...

It's basically every studio song avaiable for free listens. Full length, no limit.

[SickOfStars]

Just because an album doesn't feature Roger, doesn't mean it's bad.

Oh, I know. There are times when I quite like The Division Bell. Also: the P.U.L.S.E. live performance is pretty awesome.

I'm just a huge fan of 'original line-ups'...or as close as you can get, as Mr. Barrett is no longer with us.

I'm still not huge on the Final Cut... "featuring" Roger doesn't really seem like a good idea to me anyway lawlz

[Brokenhill]

I prefer the Roger era too, but I like Gilmour more. Even during the Roger, the songs where Gimlour sang and helped in writing, tended to be my favorites. (Comfortably Numb, etc.)

But AMLOR is def. not awful, I think it's a good album. Even asfter just the first listen through.

[Brokenhill]

Overhead the albatross, hangs motionless upon the air...
And deep beneath the rolling waves, in labyrinths of coral caves.
An echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand.
And everything is green and submarine.

I'm a long time Pink Floyd fan. At a young age I always liked "Vera". I don'tknow what albulm is my fav.

The Trial,
Clueless and Stumped.

Gilmour turned 62 today.

[AlternateToLife]

Bought my first Pink Floyd album on friday. Dark Side Of The Moon.

[Brokenhill]

Sweet, how do you like it?

Finally someone besides me to bump this thread =P

[angryandconfusd]

Wish You Were Here has always been my favorite album. Its a good one to just lay back and listen to straight through/

awesome. i did the same thing when i first bought it. then came the wall, then came all of the other ones practically within two days of each other. amazing catalog. The Final Cut is my favorite floyd album though. it just sticks with me more than the other ones, the Wall is second place for me.

[Chris Fallon]

My dad's favorite band of all-time. He's got so much Pink Floyd shit in his basement bar, it's awesome.

I've heard The Wall is one of the greatest floyd albums. I've been meaning to check that out.

[Pluto.]

Us and Them is amazing.

[SLoT]

Interesting pick.
I think it may be because it's not as admired like Dark Side, but yet still a concept that's as big as the Wall. I feel certain parts of the Wall are lacking in certain sections of songs due to there being so many on the two cds, but Final Cut is 13 tracks that were layed down after the Wall and certain things were better understood I suppose. Like I said it's tough to describe. It is undeniable though that the Wall is one of the most incredible releases period. Also it may have been the tension between Gilmour and Waters during this time that really found its way into the record emotionally.

You should definitely check it out without hesitation if you like Floyd at all.

It's a great album, but it definitely is Roger-heavy in writing. But then again I like Roger's writing a lot, because The Wall is my favorite.

The thing is just that I can't come back to TFC as much or as often as any other Floyd record.

[Tyler Revolution]

I adore David Gilmours voice. Roger Waters, not so much, but it's tolerable.

[Tyler Revolution]

It's all preference. Like I said, David Gilmour is stunning in my opinion. His voice is gorgeous.

[SickOfStars]

"do I still love this band?"

let me check....... oh... oh my... yup, I do

big surprise

[Brokenhill]

It's all preference. Like I said, David Gilmour is stunning in my opinion. His voice is gorgeous.


I like both of their voices. I prefer David's yes, but the sound to me doesn't completely matter, because the mood they bring to each song or the emotion they put into it stands out more.

Roger is tone deaf anyway, that's why his voice isn't too great, but in a bunch of the songs, the mood he gives off is very good.

[Brokenhill]

Finally purchased The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Meddle. And of course i'm extremely pleased with both...

[x togepi x]

i woke up in a pile of kittens today. this was better than anything pink floyd ever did.

Great choice.

That could be Syd's creepiest song (aside from Vegetable Man) if you think about it...

[chaosB4storm]

Yeah it's pretty creepy, but it makes me think of his actual life with its references to the mental institution and how he was kind of kicked out of the band because of his life-style.

And I'm most obliged that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead
Dressed in red

Great song. He's my inspiration.

Just the fact that he's writing about himself at that time...and that he already knows his fate, yet his course can't be changed somehow.

"...and i'm wondering who could be writing this song..."

"the wall" is one of my all-time favorite movies.
scared the shit out of me the first time i saw it, though.

[BrokenMirror]

Yesterday I finally got a copy of Wish You Were Here. That album is amazing. It's probably gonna end up being my favourite Floyd album. The sheer quality of the musicianship is awe inspiring, and it feels so much more deep and personal than Dark Side.

Good to hear...

Yea Dark Side was more of a political album.

WYWH is a great album, my 3rd favorite. It hits the spot musically and lyrically, and in other ways.

i only own the 'Echoes' compilation...love the song 'sheep' though so i'm thinking about getting the Animals album. anyone own it? any good?

I've only recently been starting to listen to Pink Floyd regularly, but it's really starting to grow on me. I listen to either Wish You Were Here or Dark Side of the Moon at least once a day. I also have Animals, which is also a great album.

[Brokenhill]

Good deal.

[chipdip18]

Very good deal. Which album to move on to next?

[Brokenhill]

Meddle. Echoes is epic.

[chipdip18]

Alright sweet deal. I think that i like Wish You Were Here the most, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (All Parts) is too good.

[ambiguous.dude]

Meddle. Echoes is epic.

The word epic gets redefined with this song.

[Brokenhill]

The word epic gets redefined with this song.


I'd have to agree.

My favorite thing about it is that they all sat down and played all of it the first time through, and it went straight onto the album. They didn't go back and re-record parts.

[Brokenhill]

Alright sweet deal. I think that i like Wish You Were Here the most, Shine On You Crazy Diamond (All Parts) is too good.

Yea, 'Uncut Magazine' did an article with the top 30 best Floyd songs of all time, and David Gilmour chose that as #1...which I definitely agree with although it's not my overall favorite.

[chipdip18]

Pink Floyd has such a vast discography, i can't wait to explore it all, you know?

[Brokenhill]

Oh yes, I know. I had to order a few online a couple weeks ago because I couldn't find them in stores.

I love their early material so much, like 'Atom Heart Mother' (My sig.) and 'Obscured by Clouds'.

[chipdip18]

When did they first start releasing stuff? The mid 60's?

[Brokenhill]

Well in '66 they released their first single Arnold Layne. It has a video too, if you want to look it up on YouTube.

Their debut album though was in '67, 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn'.

I never really got into The Wall, compared to the other albums.
Fav album is a tie between The Division Bell & Dark Side of The Moon.
However, everything Floyd release is great, Animals and Wish You Were Here are Phenomenal.
They are one of my fav bands of all times, however, NO ONE beats The Smiths for me.

Man, i'm just now getting into Pink Floyd, and i really love them. This is some amazing and high quality music.

Is there a difference betwee that and just Atom Heart Mother? If not, then yeah i have that one too.

[Brokenhill]

Well Atom Heart Mother is the album but the first track is the suite.

[chipdip18]

Ah gotcha. That's the one with a horn section right?

[Brokenhill]

Yes.

[chipdip18]

Yeah, it's an interesting take, i wasn't quite expecting it, but i still liked it nonetheless. I think Davide Gilmour is my favorite singer for Pink Floyd.

[Brokenhill]

The more you listen to it, the more it grows. I love it.

David does have a better voice overall, but Roger conveys more emotion most of the time in his singing...

[chipdip18]

Yeah, i could agree with that. I think i'll just have to give Roger more of a listen, since i'm usually listening to the albums David sings on.

[Brokenhill]

Roger sings most of the time. David rarely has whole songs to himself, only a handful like A Pillow of Winds, Fearless, Wish You Were Here, Fat Old Sun, etc.

What are you mostly listening to?

[chipdip18]

Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon and Meddle. Maybe i'm getting the singing mixed up?

[new_arbiter]

Roger sings most of the time. David rarely has whole songs to himself, only a handful likeComfortably Numb and Fat Old Sun.

What are you mostly listening to?

Really? I always thought that Roger was singing in the verses.

Reading this thread makes me want to listen to Wish You Were Here.

[Mikeyx1230]

Anyone here ever lucky enough to catch Pink Floyd live back in the day?
I doubt there is anyone old enough on this forum actually.

[chipdip18]

I bet there is like two or three people old enough. Seeing them live would be amazing. I really want to go to a laser show in Seattle.

I might not know because im from England!

[chipdip18]

Oh i see, well up in Seattle, and in other places it's not uncommon, they do a laser show to Dark Side of the Moon in a performance space. It's suppose to be amazing.

That sounds crazy!
I think id like to see it on mushrooms.

Haha i would say that 80% of people there are under some sort of influence.

Hahaha very excellent point. Hey so i'm thinking about doing a quarter in the spring in England, would you reccommend England in the spring? I've always wanted to travel/spend time/live there.

And it depends, what does the season have to do with it?
Are you looking for weather or what?

Well my university goes my quarters, not semesters, so it's like three months at a time. Season doesn't have to do with it, that's just the particular season i would be able to go. Well, not weather really, but just how it is in general. Do you enjoy living there/

Oh right, i get it.
Well, dont count on hot weather, because England barley gets that, but it wont be freezing.
It depends where you go i guess, i live in a town called Bournemouth, in the South, and there is always something happening, it depends what you're into though?
You could always go to London, you cant go wrong there.

I love living here, all the tea and crumpets you can imagine :-d

Yeah, i think the program through my school only really goes to London, but i'll look into it more. Well it's good to hear that you enjoy it haha, that's what matters most probably.

So back to Floyd, which album is your favorite?

[Brokenhill]

Really? I always thought that Roger was singing in the verses.

Reading this thread makes me want to listen to Wish You Were Here.

You're correct, he does do the verses. My bad, I forgot.

And listen, you shall.

[Mikeyx1230]

Its a tie between The Division Bell & Dark Side of The Moon.
How about you?

[chipdip18]

You're correct, he does do the verses. My bad, I forgot.

I listened to some earlier today actually.

Its a tie between The Division Bell & Dark Side of The Moon.

From the handful of albums i've got from them, i'd say Wish You Were Here ranks number one, followed closely behind by Dark Side of the Moon.

[Brokenhill]

Wish You Were Here, Dark Side of the Moon and Meddle. Maybe i'm getting the singing mixed up?

Well he sings the most in 'DSOTM', and a lot in 'Meddle' as well, but him and Roger are about even for 'WYWH'.

But yea, you've been listening to the ones where he sings the most in haha.

[chipdip18]

Haha alright then. Then i would probably say i prefer David's singing the most, but they are still both good. The instrumentation of this band is staggeringly bold and phenominal though.

[Brokenhill]

I haven't been listening to them that much lately...since I got 4 new albums and they're all Post-Rock.

The last PF song I heard was Come in Number 51, You're Time is Up, yesterday.

[Mikeyx1230]

I listened to some earlier today actually.

Wish You Were Here is great.
I love all there albums tbh, its hard for me to rank them.

[Brokenhill]

Yea, while they aren't all incredibly amazing (technically) at playing their instruments...they all are great writers, musically. And Roger is a really good writer lyrically.

I love all their instrumentals, they have so much variety. My favorite being Any Colour You Like.

[chipdip18]

Don't have that song. Which albums did you get?

[chipdip18]

Wish You Were Here is great.
I love all there albums tbh, its hard for me to rank them.

Well and that's out of the six or so albums of theirs i have. They've got a massive discography i've got to get around to hearing.

Exactly! They aren't immensely complex, but the writing is orchestrated quite well. And yeah, great lyrics to go with it. And they may not be incredibly amazing technically, but they definitely have great skills and mastery over their respective instruments.

[Brokenhill]

Godspeed... - 'F# A# ∞'

65daysofstatic - 'The Fall of Math'

Mogwai - 'Young Team'

Explosions in the Sky - 'All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone'

Though DG is actually a very good guitarist IMO. But everyone knows how to write-in their instrument and play them well.

It's all about the atmosphere they create, strongly aided by Rick Wright.

Godspeed... - 'F# A# ∞'

I own the bolded and enjoy both of them quite a lot, definitely great albums. Godspeed is especially good. I've been reccommended Young Team as a must have, and been meaning to get it. I'm asking for it for Christmas.

It's good, and it comes with a bonus disc with like 4 extra sogns and live material.

I love F# A# ∞ [CD] but i'm still geting used to it, because I first DLed the vinyl version of that album and fell in love with it.

I'm listening to the CD right now actually.

I have all of these, f# a# and fall of math are especially great.

[Brokenhill]

Oh i see. Is the CD different than the vinyl?

Yea, the CD has an extra 24 minutes. Most of that is from "Providence", but the other bit is from "East Hastings" in which one part on the CD is an extended/alternate version from the original press.

It also has a few things in different order. And you can hear some slight differences in production.

[Brokenhill]

I do love 'The Fall of Math'...it's starts out so awesome.

I only need to buy a few more PF albums, but it's going to be hard next time I go buy something because of also wanting the next 65dos album, an earlier EITS release, and 'Lift Your Skinny Fists...'

Oh interesting. Which one would you say you prefer so far?

[Brokenhill]

The vinyl version, mostly because I prefer the ending, and the overall production sound to it.

I love all the "new" material though. The CD would be better if it was ordered a little bit differently I think.

I see, i see. Well whenever i manage to scrape enough money for it, i'm going to buy a vinyl player, and i'll probably pick that up on vinyl too.

[Brokenhill]

Yea I need a record player...they're pretty expensive.

[Brokenhill]

Oh and if you've heard Careful With That Axe, Eugene, then you've basically heard Come in Number 51, Your Time is Up, because the latter is just a rerecording for a film.

[chipdip18]

Oh gotcha, but i can't say that i have heard it. Which album is it from?

Along with some Smiths vinyls, and some Hardcore vinyls.
I plan on buying loads more in the future though of course.
I want Godspeed You! on vinyl, how rare and expensive or not are there records?

[Brokenhill]

Oh gotcha, but i can't say that i have heard it. Which album is it from?

Come in Number... is from The Zabriski Point soundtrack, but Careful With that Axe... is on 'Ummagumma', and also 'Relics'

Yea, heh. :-(

Alright i gotta bounce! Later guys.

Actually not that hard. Try any used record store. I mean so many were initally produced (at least DSOTM and after) that there's a bunch still floating around.

And my actually record is in good conditon...the sleeve and all that isn't bad either.

Heh, lucky you.

[RyanDamage]

I just picked up a first pressing of Animals, which I am super psyched about.

[Brokenhill]

Nice.

[Mikeyx1230]

Heh, lucky you.
Its only a cheap record player, being my first and everything.
But i hope as my collection gets bigger, ill buy a more expensive player.
My dad told me about his old friend from when he was a kid, collected records, and had a £4000 record player.
So that would be what, about $8000? to the americans who read this.
And that was like 25 years ago, who knows how much a record player like that would cost now, probably about £10,000.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention, love the Fall of Math Av.

[chipdip18]

Oh man that is some really expensive stuff. Haha i should start saving up now.
