The ONLY Pink Floyd thread

[maxamassacre]

i couldn't agree more with all of you.

they rock my socks off

[zeppelinpage4]

There's a reason most of us aren't in touch with most 13 year olds.:p:

The most I know are a bit weird/ immature/ don't understand classic rock.

[R0CKER1220]

I could barely tell that was SoYCD. . .

EDIT: :haha this is his headline: "LoNg lIvE PiNk FlOyD " :haha

[Gin_Rummy]

That kid needs to learn how the hell to spell "taste" before even attempting guitar.

[jac_murphy]

:haha:haha

Look at his cover of Wish You Were Here.

And amuse yourselves at the total lack of any rhythm.

Found this in the Tabs.

[Bebemanger]

He over bent a few notes.... And he also didn't let the notes ring out while playing the solo....
Haha, ironically enough, that's all the solo is, without it's NOTHING!

[Page&HammettFan]

No... I've played that solo before on it's own. I don't know if it's because of slight delay, or good tone or what, but it sounds fine on it's own. That kid just sucked....

[TheHeartbreaker]

Sorry its off topic, BUT as I was cruising MySpace I found this:

Bloody disgraceful.

:haha :haha :haha

How cute! :haha

[Thefallofman]

To go back to Ummagumma, it's not one of my favorite albums, but Grantchester Meadows and the Narrow Way part 3 make the studio disc worth having. The live disc, well, what can I say... it's Pink Floyd live and it's damn good.

[TheHeartbreaker]

I agree. I do enjoy the studio album, but even if I didn't, it be worth buying the album two-set simply for the live disc.

[cris9288]

hey random question here, does anyone know where i could get good footage of the 1972 tour of the dark side of the moon? i've seen some on youtube from the hollywood bowl, but they are just clips

[Gin_Rummy]

Those Pink Floyd 8MM films are really about it, I doubt you'll find a full song or show from that era on video anywhere.

[Ranger01]

I have a hard time believing that they only recorded those short clips. If Roger has pro shot footage of The Wall he isnt releasing, then he probly has footage of the Dark Side tour also.

[Gin_Rummy]

I have a hard time believing that they only recorded those short clips. If Roger has pro shot footage of The Wall he isnt releasing, then he probly has footage of the Dark Side tour also.

Well the thing is, those short clips are bootlegs, not official video (at least, it sure doesn't look like official video).


I have a sort of off topic question for the bootleggers here. How many of us have heard the first night show for Dark Side? Is it just me, or does it actually sound cooler in some aspects? It really has a darker feel to it in some places, like the way the lyrics to Time kind of sneak in and how they're sung lower and slower than on the album. I also really like the Mortality Sequence and the Travel Sequence, very interesting to hear.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Dark Side as is, and just because I like the Mortality Sequence/Travel Sequence doesn't mean I don't like Great Gig or On the Run.

[Ranger01]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tpQMKDOvMPw

if you mean these they probly are pro shot, but bootlegged (like the wall shows most of us have seen) and there must exist a good quality version somewhere.

[stonegolem13]

^Exactly :)

There aren't any full shows but there are full songs out there...

I have no idea what you are all talking about becuase when I open the link it says "Unexpected error occured" :confused: however I suppose it's some idiot trying to play Pf and failing badly by the sounds of it

Possibly, but I think the other members would have it too...also PULSE is supposedly the only DSOTM videoing in its entirety

It was 1972/3 :p:

I haven't got it yet, but I will

EDIT: new avatar courtesy of the guys over in the avatar exchange thread :D

[BrainDamage]

There is without a doubt in my mind pro-shot Dark Side footage out there. You see little clips in the Making of Dark Side DVD, I believe they are from '72 (because of the Travel Section), but they are out there.

Now, I know for a fact that good quality original pro-shot Wall tapes exist. Why Waters hasn't said anything recently about releasing them, I don't know. There are, however, two bootlegged shows, one at Nassau in Feb. of 1980 and another from Earls Court in August 1980, the latter being the better of the two (so I've heard...I've only seen the Earls Court footage, which is pretty decent if you ask me).

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tpQMKDOvMPw

if you mean these they probly are pro shot, but bootlegged (like the wall shows most of us have seen) and there must exist a good quality version somewhere. I've seen that video before, and after a closer look, that doesn't seem to be Any Colour You Like at all. It looks like it's a bootleg audio synched with random video clips, most likely from Echoes or Careful With That Axe, Eugene from around that time period. The shots of Mason show that he isn't even playing, Waters comes to the mic many times in the clips and seems to whisper some things (which leads me to believe the clips are from CWTA,E), but we all know that it's Gilmour who does the scat (which I might as well add when we see Gilmour, he isn't anywhere near a mic), and the shots of Gilmour in the smoke with the blue lighting doesn't show any drums being played (so they could be from that long Echoes interlude with Gilmour's wah-seagull sounds).

EDIT:

EDIT: new avatar courtesy of the guys over in the avatar exchange thread :D nice :p: I wsa thinking about going there to get a new avatar. It's been a while since I've changed.

[andersoncouncil]

Someone tell me about "The Embryo." Like its origin and stuff like that.

And what would you guys say are the differences between Roger and Dave's voices?

[stonegolem13]

^Ahh...The Embryo. It's Roger's song, a demo of which was released by Harvested on their "Picnic - A Breath of Fresh Air" CD. This same demo is also available on "Works" or "ATFOS". Personally I think the demo is useless and gives a completely different song to that when played live. The live version is definately better :D

Roger has a more low pitched voice than Dave. I think Dave is more flexible with vocals ranging from that on Not Now John to that on Echoes. Roger's voice has a sort of raspishness to it which is very good on some songs but on others it is dreadful (a good example of Roger's voice can be when CN was played during 1987-1994 with about 3 people singing compared to the studio version, with Roger [it doesn't take a genious to work out which is better]) I also like Roger's tone with STCFTHOTS and CWTAE. Gilmour's voice is better though :p:

nice :p: I wsa thinking about going there to get a new avatar. It's been a while since I've changed.

I think I'll change mine every year...adds a bit of variety :)

He can deliver some harsh vocals, such as in Sheep and Pigs 3DO, and tone it down on stuff like Set the Controls. Gilmour can do the same, though he's got more of a "softer" voice, if you will. I like them both, though.

I was waiting for someone to say "Hm, the embryo. Well, when a man and a woman love each other. . . ." ;)

But is the live version available on anything other than bootlegged?

Also. There's the chance I'll get another PF album tomorrow. Which should it be?
I have:
Piper at the Gates of Dawn
More
Meddle
Obscured by Clouds
Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Final Cut (it's scratched :( )
The Division Bell
Is There Anybody Out There?

I'm thinking Atom Heart Mother.

[Gin_Rummy]

I'm thinking Atom Heart Mother.

Go for it, you will not regret it.

[Bebemanger]

I haven't picked up Atom Heart Mother either, but from what I've heard, it's a dud. Just wondering if anyone could give me a reason to check it out, also, I didn't think Ummagumma was too great either.

[Blues Breaker]

You really need to listen Pink Floyd music yourself before you can judge it, listen to it yourself before thinking someone told me its a dud. I thought that about the Wall, once i listened to it myself, I found an amazing story, i LOVE that album now!!

[zeppelinpage4]

Very true ^^
There are many opinions and you can't have one without making your own and you do that by listening yourself.
You may like it. :)

[stonegolem13]

^Yep...you can't think that an album is bad just because other people don't like it
(I'm possibly the only one who thinks AMLoR isn't their worst album ;))

I think Gilmour has the better voice, but Roger's got that special something I can't put my finger on. He can deliver some harsh vocals, such as in Sheep and Pigs 3DO, and tone it down on stuff like Set the Controls. Gilmour can do the same, though he's got more of a "softer" voice, if you will. I like them both, though.

I like them both but I prefer Gilmour....I fell it would have been better if Roger had let him sing more on TFC

But is the live version available on anything other than bootlegged?

I don't think so...
Yes you should get Atom Heart Mother and Delicate Sound of Thunder as well

I haven't picked up Atom Heart Mother either, but from what I've heard, it's a dud. Just wondering if anyone could give me a reason to check it out, also, I didn't think Ummagumma was too great either.

23 minutes of Echoes-like brilliance :p: now go get it

[TheHeartbreaker]

Man, everyone's hating on Ummagumma. :cry:

[Page&HammettFan]

According to my dad, from what he has heard/read, Gilmour didn't even wanna be on TFC?

[R0CKER1220]

Why does the "Only Led Zeppelin Thread" have 100 more pages that this one? The PF thread's older, too. . .:sad: .

[zeppelinpage4]

The Zep thread is full of us regulars who spam it up every other page. :p: ^^
You guys stay on topic somehow...


Now to stay on topic I like both as well, Rogers voice on stuff like "Set The Controls" or "Careful With That Axe" is just amazing.

However on stuff like WWWH and many songs from TDB Gilmour shines. I would say Gilmour has a bit of a nicer voice, but each singer has his own qualities and those qualities go well with different songs. SO you need both.

[Gin_Rummy]

I haven't picked up Atom Heart Mother either, but from what I've heard, it's a dud.

Atom Heart Mother is in no way a dud. It has AHM Suite, If, Summer '68, and Fat Old Sun. I myself am not a big fan of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, but everything else on the album is top notch.

[SomeEvilDude]

All this talk of Roger and David's voices, and yet no love for Rick and Nick?

Pfft, kids. :p:

[zeppelinpage4]

Rick has a great voice, I love the piece with him and David on Echoes at Pompeii. Simply brilliant.

[Gin_Rummy]

All this talk of Roger and David's voices, and yet no love for Rick and Nick?

Yea, him and his one line in OOTD, definitely the best voice in the band. :D

[TheHeartbreaker]

Why does the "Only Led Zeppelin Thread" have 100 more pages that this one? The PF thread's older, too. . .:sad: .

Actually, lately we've been on topic for the longest it's been in a while :p: It wasn't until recently when all of the noobs came to it where we started jumping back off :p: Besides, it isn't off topic, because topics change very easily.


I like what they played at the end of Saucerful of Secrets on the Pompeii DVD. I didn't really like the screaming in Careful With That Axe, but was more of just amazed that someone could do that :p:

[SomeEvilDude]

Yea, him and his one line in OOTD, definitely the best voice in the band. :D

I believe he sang a line in 'Corporal Clegg' as well.

And let's not forget his solo albums. :p:

[R0CKER1220]

Wait...
:eek:

*quits Zeppelinism*

I think I'm in need of another PF album. Last time I was there to get Meddle, they didn't have The Division Bell. So just in case this happens next time I go to Best Buy. . .What's another great one? As of now I have: The Wall, DSOTM, WYWH, Meddle, Animals and the GH Echoes.

[Page&HammettFan]

I'd say TDB, and maybe Pulse on DVD if you don't have it yet. If I were you, I'd just order from Amazon.... They're cheaper, and if you order two CDs shipping is free. Not to mention they have a much wider selection.

[TheHeartbreaker]

:eek:

Only joking about that first part. :p:

^You better've been :p: .

[TheHeartbreaker]

Of course.

Why else would I have posted in this thread so many times?

[R0CKER1220]

Because you were bored?

On topic: Rhapsody kicks ass! I'm listening to The Division Bell for free!

[zeppelinpage4]

Cool what do you think about TDB?

[R0CKER1220]

'S alright I'm on "Coming Back to Life" right now. So far my favorites are "Take it Back" and "What Do You Want From Me?"

EDIT: What's with the end of TDB? "Is that Charlie?"

[Page&HammettFan]

What? The end of that album is High Hopes. There isn't any Is That Charlie on there I don't think....

[zeppelinpage4]

No at the end of the song there's like someone saying "Is That you Charlie?...Hello Charlie" You need to have the sound a bit up.

[gtrfrk123]

i wonder what that's about?

hey so the album i've been listenin to the most this month is the wall, man, it's just brilliant. it can take me from happiness to depression in 10 minutes. so powerful of an album. my favorite song has to be one of my turns, or perhaps nobody home. and i look forward to watching the movie soon. i do own it but haven't watched it in a while . what are your thoughts on this masterpeice?

[zeppelinpage4]

I love it, was my first Floyd album, the story depicts struggles very well. So the listener can relate or understand. It is a masterpiece.

[R0CKER1220]

That's a great album, can listen to that one over and over again.

[Page&HammettFan]

There are some parts of that album that I find really dull... I hate Another Brick part 1s' lyrics... I like the rhythm, though.

[Blues Breaker]

Man, everyone's hating on Ummagumma. :cry:


UMMAGUMMA FTW :D

[Hot 'Lanta]

UMMAGUMMA FTW :D


+1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000


gotta love it..the love side pwns...

oooo and gotta love ATOM HEART MOTHER...all there early stuff man...

[TheHeartbreaker]

That's a great album, can listen to that one over and over again.


Same. Some of that album is so... heavy.

[metalfan#3]

From the topic on last page, I'm 13 (I'll be 14 on Tuesday) and classic rock is my favorite genre :p:

Ageists :p:


Metaledit: Is anyone else in love with the Ummagumma version of 'A Saucerful of Secrets' ? The yelling at the end just adds so much to it.

[IHATECHILDREN]

From the topic on last page, I'm 13 (I'll be 14 on Tuesday) and classic rock is my favorite genre :p:

Right on, dude.

Classic Rock is much better than some of the crap music that is popular today.

[walkinbazooka]

i wonder what that's about?


At the end of the album, Gilmour's step-son, Charlie, can be heard hanging up the telephone on *Pink Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke, who had pleaded to be allowed to appear on a Pink Floyd album.
There you go.

[zeppelinpage4]

Well I picked up DSotM today, gonna give it a listen some time. :D

[SomeEvilDude]

Sit back and enjoy buddy.

It's one hell of a good ride. :)

[TheHeartbreaker]

That it is.

[Blues Breaker]

Well I picked up DSotM today, gonna give it a listen some time. :D

WOW supprised you havent heard it!!!

Enjoy, the first time is an experience.

[fisical_grafiti]

Be sure to listen to it in a dark room ;)

[walkinbazooka]

WOW supprised you havent heard it!!!

Enjoy, the first time is an experience.
Indeed. Although I've found that I don't enjoy their most well known albums as much as I used to.

Probably because I listened to Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall 18 times a day for the first three months I had heard of Pink Floyd.
I much prefer Atom Heart Mother and The Division Bell now.

[Page&HammettFan]

Right on, dude.

Classic Rock is much better than some of the crap music that is popular today.
Yea... I'll come right out and say it. There is plenty of good out today. You can't dismiss all of it until you've heard all of it, and then it's still just an opinion.....


As for DSotM, it'll be a great experience ZP :D

[helpmeplz]

how do you read tabs i just dont get it is so dang confusing to me someonw plzhelpme

[R0CKER1220]

:confused: Wrong thread?

but it's:

------------------------------- high e string
------------------------------- B string
------------------------------- G string
------------------------------- D string
------------------------------- A string
------------------------------- Low E string.

and the number on the line gives you the fret. For example, here's Stairway To Heaven:
E-------5-7-----7-|-8-----8-2-----2-|-0---------0-----|-----------------|
B-----5-----5-----|---5-------3-----|---1---1-----1---|-0-1-1-----------|
G---5---------5---|-----5-------2---|-----2---------2-|-0-2-2-----------|
D-7-------6-------|-5-------4-------|-3---------------|-----------------|
A-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-2-0-0---0--/8-7-|
E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

[Page&HammettFan]

^
That's all. Very easy to do :)

[helpmeplz]

thanks rocker 1220 but can you help me with 1 more thing. do you play the strings 1 at a time or at the same time

[helpmeplz]

i mean the frets at once or together

[zeppelinpage4]

and the number on the line gives you the fret. For example, here's Stairway To Heaven:
E-------5-7-----7-|-8-----8-2-----2-|-0---------0-----|-----------------|
B-----5-----5-----|---5-------3-----|---1---1-----1---|-0-1-1-----------|
G---5---------5---|-----5-------2---|-----2---------2-|-0-2-2-----------|
D-7-------6-------|-5-------4-------|-3---------------|-----------------|
A-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-2-0-0---0--/8-7-|
E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|[/QUOTE]

You pluck those two at the same time.(in bold)

And when all the frets are one on top of the other it's a chord.

E-----2---------------
B-----3---------------
G-----2---------------
D-----0---------------
A-----0---------------
E-----0-----------------


And there's a thread on this site where you can learn this so i'd go ask more there.

[BrainDamage]

Well I picked up DSotM today, gonna give it a listen some time. :D and you didn't have it beforehand why? :confused:

[metalfan#3]

I don't see what the whole big deal is about Dark Side of the Moon. Sure, it's a fantastic album, but I think Pink Floyd has better. I much prefer Animals and Wish You Were Here.

Also, MY favorite Floyd album is The Final Cut.

Don't kill me :(

[R0CKER1220]

^+1, except for the "Final Cut" part, I've yet to hear that one.

[zeppelinpage4]

and you didn't have it beforehand why? :confused:
I've heard alot of the songs from it and wanted some other Floyd albums I haven't listened to beforehand. Then I just decided to get it.

[igotabcrich32]

wow, great link.

http://pinkfloydtv.blogspot.com/2007/04/pink-floyd-in-studio-1972-darkside-of.html

[Page&HammettFan]

and you didn't have it beforehand why? :confused:
Plus ZP had it on the PULSE DVD already. It's not too much different on there. Just a little bit. But it's still amazing on album, if not even more amazing :)

Dark Side of the Moon isn't my favorite album of theirs, but I believe that it is easily within their top three best as far as the creativity and overall musicianship of the album.

[Sloopy]

Without Dark Side they would still be very underground, I think. W/O it I think (DON'T FLAME) we wouldn't have had The Wall.

:D

[BrainDamage]

Without Dark Side they would still be very underground, I think. W/O it I think (DON'T FLAME) we wouldn't have had The Wall. Dark Side definately propelled them into the spotlight, but you never know what might have happened if they didn't create it. They could have faded out (though they weren't exactly "very underground" to begin with), or they could have produced music just as good or possibly better then their later albums (which we now know would be pretty damn hard to do when looking back on WYWH and Animals :p: ).

[R0CKER1220]

I now love The Dogs of War.

The Final Cut moves in and out of the top three Pink Floyd albums for me.

I really think you have to be in the right mood to listen to it.

[Page&HammettFan]

Without Dark Side, I think they would have phased out. That album stayed in the Top 100 Best Sellers of the week for 10 years... No other album has ever done that. Not even Boston, which is I think the best selling debut album of all time? Dark Side made those guys absolutely rich, and really got their name much bigger than it otherwise would have gotten, I think.

They wouldn't have made it in the US and Canada if not for Dark Side. The UK was pretty receptive of them, however had they not finished the album until '74 or even '76, I think DSOTM would have been ignored. It arrived on the cusp of the prog era and shot up the charts before the likes of KISS, Aerosmith, and even perhaps Elton John got their chance at fame. And we all know those three are far from progressive music.

I disagee man, Dark Side is great, one of the best albums ever, but Floyd have better. That was their only commercial success beside The Wall.
It may have happened, but their other albums are too good, maybe Dark Side makes some of their lesser known albums seem not as good? I think that first sentance of yours is crazy, its not like they were unknown at the time of DSotM.

[Infatuation]

i listened to Julia Dream for 5 times before i slept, then I had the best dream ever. I woke up and i was disappointed because it was just a dream. i felt bad because the dream was soo real.

I'm not saying that Dark Side is their best album. I'll be the first person to say that it isn't anywhere near their best... What I'm saying is that it's the album that got them from being an 'underground', or one of the more lesser known bands, to being one of most popular bands in history. They weren't unknown at the time of DSotM, but they weren't extremely popular either. Dark Side really took their career to the next level.

[BrainDamage]

I think that first sentance of yours is crazy, its not like they were unknown at the time of DSotM. right. I mean, they were obviously popular in the UK, and they were getting there in the US.

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - (1967) - #6 UK; #131 US
A Saucerful of Secrets - (1968) - #9 UK; didn't chart in the US
Music from the Film More - (1969) - #9 UK; #153 US
Ummagumma - (1969) - (Double album) - #5 UK; #74 US Platinum
Atom Heart Mother - (1970) - #1 UK; #55 US Gold
Meddle - (1971) - #3 UK; #70 US 2x Platinum
Obscured by Clouds - (1972) - #6 UK; #46 US Gold

That was their only commercial success beside The Wall. well, their albums after Dark Side were all plenty successful, just not like The Wall or Dark Side were.

That polka Floyd is cool.

Hey, I've heard so many good things about Pink Floyd and 'The Dark Side Of the Moon'. But I haven't had a chance to listen to them. And it usually helps to start with a really good song to help build respect for the others. So could you guys tell some good songs?

uuuub, any more specific, please. This list might take awhile. And time is money lol

[walkinbazooka]

uuuub, any more specific, please. This list might take awhile. And time is money lol
What? I gave a list of what I think are the best songs for a newcomer to Pink Floyd should listen to.
I don't understand what you want, more songs?

[SomeEvilDude]

uuuub, any more specific, please. This list might take awhile. And time is money lol

Well, 'Time' and 'Money' are both songs you could listen to.

Or how about this, instead of coming to an online forum and asking things, why not do something really crazy and just go out and buy Dark Side Of The Moon. I mean, I know that actually buying an album by a band you've heard great things about is a bit of a wacky idea, but hey, you never know.

Seriously, what the fuck? What did people do before they had the internet to ask about what songs to listen to to base their entire decision as to whether to buy a bands' album or not? Jeez, this is one of the reasons why music is so stale and people are so close minded, beacuse they'll only buy things they've heard before instead of just buying a random album by a band they've never heard of. Take a chance already, you might like it. Fucking hell.

And anyway, Pink Floyd are more of an album band, there's not a single song from any album that sounds like any others - with the exception of 'The Nile Song' and 'Ibiza Bar' which are from the More album - so it'd be in your best interest to just buy Dark Side Of The Moon. So go do it. Right fucking now.

I should have said this but I'm too polite.

[Thefallofman]

Also, MY favorite Floyd album is The Final Cut.

Don't kill me :(

TFC is a lyrical masterpiece with some of the most epic songs I've ever heard. Possibly my favorite Floyd album, too. Simply amazing.

I always used to argue with my old Lit. teacher because he said the only good Pink Floyd albums were Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, and The Wall.
What a noob...

[Page&HammettFan]

Oh yes, let's completely omit Wish You Were Here, which is by far better than The Wall and Dark Side, IMO...

"Art takes time, time is money
Moneys scarce and that aint funny"

Sorry...that just reminded me of the Kinks' song Low Budget :p: But seriosuly, Asa, I agree with SomeEvilDude and will tell you the same thing, though in a much nicer way ;) Floyd's albums should be listened to in their entirety. Go pick up Dark Side or Wish You Were Here and you'll see what we mean.

Whoa-hoe! Calm down there, tiger. I have Dark Side Of the Moon. But like I said before, I would like some good pointers to build my respect for them in others songs I wouldn normally like. And that's being smart, not close-minded

[Thefallofman]

Oh yes, let's completely omit Wish You Were Here, which is by far better than The Wall and Dark Side, IMO...
Can't forget that one, definitely one of the best Floyd albums (and that's certainly saying something) I bought the tab book last week, I'm learning to play the entire album. Right now I've got everything except Shine On parts 3-9.

Just bought animals, bloody hell I cant stop listening to Dogs, just an epic song.
Dogs is awesome. Sheep and Pigs 3 Different Ones are also damn good. Has anyone heard the extended Pigs On The Wing with Snowy's guitar solo? Great stuff.

[R0CKER1220]

^^I say get the album Animals next. That one's sex-licious :liplick: .

[BrainDamage]

Has anyone heard the extended Pigs On The Wing with Snowy's guitar solo? Great stuff. yeah, very good indeed. Snowy improved greatly over time, I don't think he was particularly great back in his Floyd days.

Whoa-hoe! Calm down there, tiger. I have Dark Side Of the Moon. But like I said before, I would like some good pointers to build my respect for them in others songs I wouldn normally like. And that's being smart, not close-minded first of all, you made it seem like you didn't have Dark Side. And second, you're still not getting our point. Get the full albums, not individual songs. Third, get Wish You Were Here or Animals :)

[Gin_Rummy]

Third, get Wish You Were Here or Animals :)

I'd go with Animals.

[Sloopy]

I'd go with Animals.

Yeah. WYWH is a bit more for the hardcore fan, seeing as SOYCD is a bit off putting for someone who justs wants to hear the title track.

[BrainDamage]

^^I actually think the opposite. I would recommend WYWH before Animals, though I prefer Animals as the better album. I just think WYWH would be an easier album for a new fan to accept, while Animals might scare some people off with three tracks all over 10 minutes.

I guess so. I still think that to intro someone to Floyd I'd go DSOTM, The Wall, Animals, WYWH, Division Bell, and then they can find the rest.

[walkinbazooka]

Oh yes, let's completely omit Wish You Were Here, which is by far better than The Wall and Dark Side, IMO...
Haha that's why I was always arguing with him.

[Conky420]

Man...its been forever since i posted in here

just thought i'd drop in again, oh, and i got the division bell for my birthday 3 days ago, and i've yet to listen to it all, but my god its amazing

The Division Bell is probably my second favourite Pink Floyd album. It's so melancholic, I love it.

[Sloopy]

^ Bell is great piece of work. It's so overshawdowed though.

[Thefallofman]

I don't think i listed to the Division Bell enough. Great piece of work, FAR superior to A Momentary Lapse in my opinion.

[Sloopy]

^ Yeah but to have Division, you needed Momentary Lapse

[walkinbazooka]

I don't think i listed to the Division Bell enough. Great piece of work, FAR superior to A Momentary Lapse in my opinion.
I agree. A Momentry Lapse of Reason seems more like mood album to me, not much songwriting.
But it is still quite nice to listen to.

[Thefallofman]

I agree. A Momentry Lapse of Reason seems more like mood album to me, not much songwriting.
But it is still quite nice to listen to.

I agree, although I really don't like any of the second half of the album (though Sorrow was cool live... actually the whole album was better live). On The Turning Away is one of my favorite Floyd songs ever, but that, Learning To Fly and One Slip are the only songs that really stand out in my mind as above average.

[walkinbazooka]

Yeah some of the songs are sub-par at best but I really like Signs of Life, One Slip, Yet Another Movie/Round and Round, Terminal Frost, and Sorrow.

I haven't seen it live, did they play it on PULSE?

[IHATECHILDREN]

Yo yo yo,

I own DSotM, and I love it. Im only just getting into Pink Floyd, and I was wondering what album I should get next (Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here)?

[Thefallofman]

Sorrow? Yeah it's on PULSE and Delicate Sound Of Thunder.

[Page&HammettFan]

Read this (http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/forum/showthread.php?t=384007) thread. And please, in the future, refraing from asking questions like that in an ONLY band thread...

[metalfan#3]

I :heart: The Division Bell! I absolutely adore 'A Great Day For Freedom'


'Oooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnn the day the war came down'


lol :p:

[Page&HammettFan]

Zeppelinpage4 and I have agreed that that's our favorite PF album :) We own all of the same ones, too. I guess that accounts for something? I dunno, but IMO TDB is one of the best albums to come out of the '90s.

[jac_murphy]

Yo yo yo,

I own DSotM, and I love it. Im only just getting into Pink Floyd, and I was wondering what album I should get next (Wall, Animals, Wish You Were Here)?

Get any one of the three, they're all amazing. The order in which you get them doesn't really matter.

-Jacques

[andersoncouncil]

I :heart: The Division Bell! I absolutely adore 'A Great Day For Freedom'


'Oooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnn the day the war came down'


lol :p:

My favourites from that one are Take It Back and Lost For Words.
It's "wall" not "war"

[Page&HammettFan]

Size 1 is screwed up right now... :p:

Lost For Words is my absolute favorite PF track :D :p:

[SomeEvilDude]

'Wearing The Inside Out', 'Marooned' and 'High Hopes' are the best songs on that album.

And here's a question for you all, considering there's a been a load of people coming in recently asking which albums to buy and whatnot, what order would you reccomend for their first five albums? I'd say:

(1) Dark Side Of The Moon
(2) The Division Bell
(3) Obscured By Clouds
(4) Meddle
(5) Wish You Were Here

[stonegolem13]

I've got a lot to catch up on so this could end up being a double post :eek:

^
The wall
DSOTM
WYWH
Animals
Meddle/TDB

'Oooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnn the day the war came down'

1. Never start a post like that again please :rolleyes:
2. Get all three

Yeah some of the songs are sub-par at best but I really like Signs of Life, One Slip, Yet Another Movie/Round and Round, Terminal Frost, and Sorrow.

I haven't seen it live, did they play it on PULSE?

Which song? Sorrow is on PULSE, but the rest were played during the DSoT tour...get the CD

how do u get a picture under ur name

You go to a bend in the river where there is a lone tree and stick your tongue against the bark and lick it. After that, you decide to go to the "New Members Q & A Forum" where you won't get a screwed up answer such as this one :p:

Third, get Wish You Were Here or Animals

THE WALL

The UK was pretty receptive of them

Not in the early days though....whenever they were out of London they weren't as well greeted by people...it says so on the "Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story" DVD

[stonegolem13]

It did :eek:

Dark Side definately propelled them into the spotlight, but you never know what might have happened if they didn't create it. They could have faded out (though they weren't exactly "very underground" to begin with), or they could have produced music just as good or possibly better then their later albums (which we now know would be pretty damn hard to do when looking back on WYWH and Animals :p: ).

I think that the same albums could have been made...PFs music reflects the music at the time due to their progressiveness :)

Metaledit: Is anyone else in love with the Ummagumma version of 'A Saucerful of Secrets' ? The yelling at the end just adds so much to it.

It's a live version, and it is soooooo much better than the studio version

Same. Some of that album is so... heavy.

and very deep

EDIT: What's with the end of TDB? "Is that Charlie?"

It's a phone call from some guy to Gilmour...Charlie answers and then hangs up
"At the very end of "The Division Bell" album, there's a phone conversation between Steve O'Rourke (Floyd's manager) and Charlie (Polly Samson's son). This conversation was probably incidentally recorded by the answering machine at Gilmour's house." - From ATFOS

All this talk of Roger and David's voices, and yet no love for Rick and Nick?

Nick is Pink Floyd :)

I like what they played at the end of Saucerful of Secrets on the Pompeii DVD. I didn't really like the screaming in Careful With That Axe, but was more of just amazed that someone could do that :p:

True, I'm amazed Roger can do it too :p:

[Asa Gaston]

yeah, very good indeed. Snowy improved greatly over time, I don't think he was particularly great back in his Floyd days.

first of all, you made it seem like you didn't have Dark Side. And second, you're still not getting our point. Get the full albums, not individual songs. Third, get Wish You Were Here or Animals :)

Man, I really don't like to make fun of people who are drasticly erogant. But you're tempting me. I wish to congregate about Pink Floyd as if we were having a beer. But you clearly don't get MY piont. So, I'll say this one last time. I would like to know if theres a specific famous song by them, For instance, if I asked about Led Zeppelin you would say 'Stairway To Heaven' or 'Black Dog'. Now it looks like you've done that, but not by the point I was trying to get across. And whether you can understand a post or not is not my problem

[jac_murphy]

^ The first four Pink Floyd songs I heard were 'Money,' 'Wish You Were Here,' 'Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2' and 'Comfortably Numb.' So I guess you could start with those.

-Jacques

[IHATECHILDREN]

Im buying the Wall, and there's nothing any of you can do about it!!!

HAHAHA!!!! :devil:

Now it looks like you've done that, but not by the point I was trying to get across. And whether you can understand a post or not is not my problem Listen. There is no need to get pissed. You asked for songs that you could listen to to gain your respect for the band, considering you hadn't heard much by them.

Hey, I've heard so many good things about Pink Floyd and 'The Dark Side Of the Moon'. But I haven't had a chance to listen to them. And it usually helps to start with a really good song to help build respect for the others. So could you guys tell some good songs?

My point is that in order to understand what this band is really about, you should listen to their albums in their entirety. They released very few singles and are not known for single stand-alone tracks, save a small handful like Money, or Another Brick in the Wall. So to answer your question, listen to Money or Another Brick in the Wall if you want to listen to their radio-friendly, popular songs. If you want to find out how great this band can really be, buy a full album and listen to it as a whole.



THE WALL
:eek: DOUBLE POST!

:p:

Eh, not right off the bat. The Wall is different. It's phenomenal, but it might not exactly appeal to a new fan.

[SomeEvilDude]

I think, more importantly, someone gave a huge list of about 20 songs right after his original post.

Instead of going and listening to the songs though, he complained there too many. Fucking morons that inhabit these forums, I don't know.

[R0CKER1220]

When I was looking for Pink Floyd albums on eBay, I saw The Wall. It was an actual wall (small, I think it said about 40 lbs) and there was a hole where you could put The Wall vinyl! :eek:

[add45]

My favourite version of 'Comfortably Numb' is the one on The Wall Live. So, so good.

That is true :cheers:

[stonegolem13]

^Yep...no other version of CN beats the 1980-81 version (though Live8 comes close)

I think I'd recommend Division Bell or Obscured by the Clouds.

No "the" in Obscured by Clouds :p:
But he said he'd heard that SOYCD was good and so I recommended that album :)

Sorrow? Bah I dislike that album.

We get it :rolleyes: I don't see what's wrong with it (apart from ANM pts1 & 2...can't stand that [Terminal Frost is good though])

:eek: A New Machine?!?!?

[BrainDamage]

We get it :rolleyes: I don't see what's wrong with it (apart from ANM pts1 & 2...can't stand that [Terminal Frost is good though]) eh, I just don't like it. It's been a while since I last listened to it, so maybe I'll give it another chance.

[metalfan#3]

My favorite track on A Momentary Lapse of Reason (even though they're all good) is Signs of Life.

It's just so cool :)

[dontsmokeinbed]

i dont really like momentary lapse of reason. i think that the true pink floyd feel is on the albums where they all contributed. i mean momentary lapse of reason isnt bad and the final cut is awesome but theyre just not REAL pink floyd. what i especially like about floyd is how they see simple melodies and chord changes in a totally different way and it sounds just awesome

Sorry about the "the" I'm a little out of it today.

I think that AMLoR comes closer to the "real" PF sound but TFC is a better album....according to David Gilmour:
On the Momentary Lapse of Reason album, Nick's belief in himself was pretty well gone, and Rick's belief in himself was totally gone. And they weren't up to making a record, to be quite honest about it [...] Roger's very good at belittling people, and I think over the years he managed to convince Rick completely that he was useless and more or less convinced Nick of the same thing.

According to Roger:
I must say, that under the circumstances, it's a superb title for a so-called Pink Floyd record.

:eek: A New Machine?!?!?

I just hate the effect on those vocals...and the lyrics aren't great
The rest of the album is good though

[Thefallofman]

I didn't think anyone actually liked A New Machine. No music, just annoying vocal effects and bad lyrics... blegh.

[Infatuation]

what's the theme of "On the Run"?

[Thefallofman]

Travel

[walkinbazooka]

I didn't think anyone actually liked A New Machine. No music, just annoying vocal effects and bad lyrics... blegh.
I love it. I can totally understand why most people don't like it though, I guess.

But I love it personally.

[SomeEvilDude]

what's the theme of "On the Run"?

Paranoia, I believe.

[stonegolem13]

^No...definately travel...though paranoia could come into it also :p:

what's the theme of "On the Run"?

Travel...hence the earlier working title for On the Run "The Travel Sequence" :)

I love it. I can totally understand why most people don't like it though, I guess.

But I love it personally.

I feel that ANM is not PF-ish enough....as I've said before Terminal Frost (which is in the middle) is excellent :D

[MOOSE_CCR99]

what album is shine on you crazy diamond on? and is the rest of the album that good??

[walkinbazooka]

^No...definately travel...though paranoia could come into it also :p:

Yeah, Terminal Frost is fantastic! One of the best songs on the album, possibly the best.

I'm not sure what I like about A New Machine but I do.

what album is shine on you crazy diamond on? and is the rest of the album that good??
Wish You Were Here.

It is an excellent album.

[BrainDamage]

what album is shine on you crazy diamond on? and is the rest of the album that good?? Wish You Were Here and YES...it is fantastic.

[igotabcrich32]

WYWH is amazing. I can remember first getting it and just listening through Shine On You Crazy Diamond gave me the chills because of how good it was.

[Thefallofman]

I believe a few pages back someone posted that they thought AMLOR captured the Floyd sound better, but TFC was a better album, but I can't find it to quote now. It made me think, what is the Floyd sound? Looking through their catalogue... every album is unlike the one before it, they never really stayed tied down to a sound long unless you want to consider "amazing" a sound.


To avoid double posting... yes, WYWH is an incredible album. SOYCD's first solo still sends chills up my spine on every listen. That tone is just perfect.

[Sloopy]

I think the Floyd sound is a somewhat jazzy piano chord progression, with steller lead fills, and a driving rhythm section. Sound effects and other specially treated instruments are a must as well.

[metalfan#3]

what album is shine on you crazy diamond on? and is the rest of the album that good??


Man, Wish You Were Here is absolutely amazing. Everyone should listen to it at least once in their life.

It's also got a great album cover, as illustrated in BrainDamage's avatar :)

[Sloopy]

^ Yeah WYWH has a cooler cover that DSOTM IMO.

Man that's a lot of abbreivations.:p:

[Shortay]

in my opinion, I enjoyed the album "The Wall" The most. I don't know what it was that made it stick out like the other ones.

[andersoncouncil]

I heard the AHM suite for the first time today. It was nice.

[higgins0421]

AHM is fantastic however i still prefare their original sounds of Piper

[The Face Melter]

Heres a question.. Comfortably Numb or Learning To Fly? Me and my friends always have fights over it, I mean the Comfortably Numb solo is an artwork but Learning To Fly defines 'The Pink Floyd Sound' for me..

What about you guys?

[stonegolem13]

^I have no idea why but I've just never liiked LTF that much....I fell after listening to it a few times it is quite repetitive.....it's a great song and everything but CN is definately better

what album is shine on you crazy diamond on? and is the rest of the album that good??

1. Wish You Were Here
2. YES!!!!!

Looking through their catalogue... every album is unlike the one before it, they never really stayed tied down to a sound long unless you want to consider "amazing" a sound.

I posted that...and i think TFC was lacking in guitar from the Floyd sound. Basically it involves music which is like DSOTM but which varies to accomodate heavier rock (eg Animals +some parts of The Wall) and more psychedellic rock (eg PATGOD). I think TFC is more different from other PF material than AMLOR...that was my point

^ Yeah WYWH has a cooler cover that DSOTM IMO.

Man that's a lot of abbreivations. :p:

However DSOTM has a more iconic cover :p:

I heard the AHM suite for the first time today. It was nice.

I think it's brilliant :D and better than some things on PATGOD....though PATGOD is great when you're in the mood for it, AHM (song) is a wonderfully composed piece of music

^ Haha I did that in a high school lesson on light. Teach got so pissed.

[metalfan#3]

I actually drew the Dark Side of the Moon cover on a big sheet of poster paper (these real big sheets I've got in a big book) and I hung it up in my room. Now I'm working on The Wall.

I'm doing the simple ones first :p:

I plan to have every Floyd cover on my wall eventually. Piper will be hard though :(

I'd just skip it completely. I think Animals would be the next one for you. It's a pretty simple design. The Final Cut is simple too.

[andersoncouncil]

What's that in the lower right corner?

I drew a picture of a pig from The Wall artwork. It's the only Pink Floyd "poster" I have. I started the cover for WYWH, but I haven't finished it. I have drawn a picture of Syd from PatGoD before, I think it was more of a simple sketch though.

[Cptbeefheart]

I tried to do a DSOTM in my geometry class awhile back. It didn't work out so well, I must've forgot that I'm the worst at drawing.

[Page&HammettFan]

That's cool BD :cheers:

[R0CKER1220]

:haha at the notes. In biology class I wrote "PINK FLOYD" then had two quotes, one below one above. I then drew the prism, The Wall and a flying pig.

[jac_murphy]

:haha

We were just going over how light diffracts through a prism in my physics class a couple of semesters ago, and my teacher had drawn one on the blackboard and then went out of the class for a few minutes (bathroom, I suppose.) Of course, I couldn't resist running up to the board and writing "Dark Side of the Moon" underneath. :D

My thing used to be drawing "Stairways to Heaven" on book covers. I got decent at drawing mountains...

[stonegolem13]

You should see some of my physics tests :p: . . . I'll get a pic now :D

Mine are more meaningless and less coherent though (possibly because I'm more bored after finishing the test an hour early :p: )

[Carmo]

that is the point in prog...
not everybody understand the long meaning and pink floyd have the best lyrics i ever saw...
i am hearing now GREAT GIG...

[stonegolem13]

^Which is great...I love that song, the emotion in the vocals......

.....more crazy pics!!! This time from today when i had double Spanish :puke:

Back onto more topical and interesting matters :p:

What is everyone's favourite song off (Soundtrack to the film/Music from the film)More

After a couple of weeks I'm gonna say Ibiza Bar...such an amazing song :D

[SomeEvilDude]

'Cirrus Minor', 'Cymbaline' and 'Green Is The Colour' are my personal favourites from More, with 'More Blues' and 'A Dramatic Theme' really close behind. It's such an underappreciated album.

And you're all such good drawers, I'd love to be able to draw like you guys. Or even to draw at all really. :p:

[BrainDamage]

What's that in the lower right corner? the "there is no dark side of the moon, really" quote from the end of Eclipse.

.....more crazy pics!!! This time from today when i had double Spanish fantastico! I love the simplicity/crapiness of Momentary Lapse and Ummagumma :haha

[walkinbazooka]

the "there is no dark side of the moon, really" quote from the end of Eclipse.

fantastico! I love the simplicity/crapiness of Momentary Lapse and Ummagumma :haha
:haha I didn't even notice A Momentary Lapse of Reason on there!

[Thefallofman]

My favorites from More are The Nile Song (Floyd doing some very early metal... kick ass!), Green Is The Colour and Cymbaline. Most of the instrumentals on that album are kind of disappointing in my opinion.

[R0CKER1220]

In psychology today, we had to do book work on senses and perceptions. They had a prism showing the visible light spectrum :p: . . .











:p:

[metalfan#3]

I can't find More for the life of me. I'll have to order it, if that's possible (*crosses fingers*).


Stupid rare albums :p:

If I ever bother to get my posters scanned, I'll post them on here.

[andersoncouncil]

^I'm not sure it's that rare. I know it was a little hard for me to find, but Circuit City had it.

My More favourites:

Cymbaline
Green is the Color
Cirrus Minor is great too, very spooky feel to it.

[Page&HammettFan]

Why would you even check stores? Local stores in my opinion over charge you on CDs usually.... They do here. Go to Amazon.com and get that along with another CD that you're looking for. If you get two at once, there's free shipping.

[andersoncouncil]

I hate waiting two weeks for new music. And I've got two at once before and they charged me shipping. Besides the fact that I have to ask my dad if I can use his credit card, which isn't fun.

Stores FTW.

Edit: And I've been sent a cd with a damaged case once. I like to be able to see what I'm buying.

Eh, well I've just gone on a mass CD ordering spree recently, three to come next tuesday, and so far all's been good.

I guess it's all just pretty hit and miss, but I usually prefer to buy an album I know I want by an artist I know of online, and just buy random CDs that look like I might like them in stores.

Check eBay or something maybe?

[Thefallofman]

I found More at an indie store close to my house... just look around. They had the Japanese version, too.

[stonegolem13]

fantastico! I love the simplicity/crapiness of Momentary Lapse and Ummagumma :haha

:haha I decided I could either do it superbly and spend about 5 minutes on the thing or just scribble it....I find that abstract works well with Floyd covers...especially WYWH (not DSOTM though because that's already abstract :p: )
There's one advantage of being a PF fan....if you're asked to draw the splitting of light by a prism (or a flying pig) in your exam...there ain't a problem :D

My favorites from More are The Nile Song (Floyd doing some very early metal... kick ass!), Green Is The Colour and Cymbaline. Most of the instrumentals on that album are kind of disappointing in my opinion.

Yeah, Cymbaline, The Nile Song and Green is the Colour are definately my second favourites :p: The Nile Song is very similar to Ibiza Bar, but Ibiza bar sounds less metal and more Floyd :)

I can't find More for the life of me. I'll have to order it, if that's possible (*crosses fingers*).

Never say that about a Floyd album again :no: :p:
It should be on amazon

[metalfan#3]

I'm not one to get things from Amazon or eBay, seeing as how I do not have a credit card and my parents probably wouldn't let me use theirs :( I also just don't trust online stores like that. Childish, I guess.

I can't find More, Obscured by Clouds, Live at Pompeii and Delicate Sound of Thunder. Pah.

Anyways, back on topic. What do you guys think of Ummagumma? The studio disc is alright (Narrow Way FTW) but the live disc is superb!

[Blues Breaker]

Ummagumma, that has the best live album i've heard in a long time. Careful With that Axe, is awsome.

[walkinbazooka]

:haha

I don't have Ummagumma.

That's right. What's your favourite Floyd album?

[SGstriker]

I have a bit of a question. Have any of you bought and listened to David Gilmour's latest solo album "On an Island"?? Ive heard parts of each song and it sounds nice.

[Sloopy]

I have a bit of a question. Have any of you bought and listened to David Gilmour's latest solo album "On an Island"?? Ive heard parts of each song and it sounds nice.

Yeah. It's great. You should buy it and listen to the whole thing in one sitting with headphones.

I'll probably get it some time, from what i've heard though it's a good album

[TheHeartbreaker]

I have a bit of a question. Have any of you bought and listened to David Gilmour's latest solo album "On an Island"?? Ive heard parts of each song and it sounds nice.

I've heard the song On an Island from that album and thought it was great, but I have yet to hear the album in its entirety.

[DownInAHole.]

Sax solo on "Us and Them"= bonafide awesome trippy sexiness.


/random

[Thefallofman]

On An Island is a great album. Very chilled, relaxed atmosphere. The lyrics are very strong. It's very easily to just lay back and visualize the ocean with it. Dave's guitar tones add to this, they're very underwatery and there's quite a bit of absolutely fantastic guitarwork (but that's expected with Gilmour I suppose). Definitely worth picking up.

[stonegolem13]

^I heard a song from it on the radio and I'm thinking to myself...now that's a solo worthy of David Gilmour, and it was :D
I've got a well trained ear ;)

[ECwomantoneman]

I'd say Time is my favourite Floyd song though the duh - duh duuuuuh bit at the start goes on way to long, but the lyrics and solo are just magic. I love pretty much all of DSOTM but I've recently become addicted to Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Overdrive from PATGOD

[Cptbeefheart]

^ Time is such a complete song. One of Floyd's best. It would be way to hard to pick a favorite track for me. There are just too many.

[Sloopy]

^ I can't pick a favourite Floyd track. They're all great.

[Blues Breaker]

My favourite track is probably Lucy Leave, the early song. All of Barretts stuff, blows me away! But i think i love all the floyd tracks with Syd as much as the one before.
