  1. I think Counterparts is their most underrated disc. Love it! Cold Fire, Animate, Nobody's Hero, Stick It Out, etc. Actually that 3 disc run Presto, Roll The Bones and Counterparts was a great series of discs. I saw them on each of those tours (plus 2 other times) - AMAZING!
  2. As soon as he said the film had Misty Mountain Hop in it, I stopped reading. Did he even watch the f-ing thing???
  3. And Morrison sounds pretty good for being recorded in a bathroom for most of the disc, or so I have read. Musically I do like L.A. Woman the most. You should get Morrison Hotel next, if you really like L.A. Woman. Enjoy!
  4. From Atom Heart Mother, there is a fantastic musical piece called Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast which is one of my favorite Floyd pieces. The title track is a bit out there, but the rest of it - Summer 0f '68 (Rick Wright song), If (Roger) and Fat Old Sun (David) is very good, in my opinion. A Saucerful... was a weak follow-up to Piper and shows the "new" Floyd line-up, for better or worse, in a learning period. More is not bad, but it is for a movie soundtrack and is not very cohesive. As far as the post Wall discs you mentioned, they all have good moments, but are not great bodies of work. Division Bell is the best of the three, Final Cut is good as individual songs - but not as a full disc to listen to from beginning to end in one sitting. Momentary does have a few good songs, but again is more David solo than a Floyd disc. Just my opinion. A few years ago I went and purchased all of their remastered discs in order of release to see the growth that took place, since I only had listened to Piper, Saucer, Meddle and everything from DSOTM on to the end. It was a fun experience to listen to good, bad and just plain weird songs. They also have some compilations with unreleased songs and different versions of others. Works, Relics and Songs To Dance To (Not sure of the title, but has a different version of Money on it) come to mind - which also have some gems. Enjoy the ride, they were a fantastic band!!
  5. Trampled Underfoot - Reunion Concert - Push, push, yeah!
  6. That's not weird at all! It's my wife's fav. song by them too. Love some of the Barrett stuff: Lucifer Sam (about his roommates' cat), See Emily Play, the great riff in Interstellar Overdrive and his final Floyd song Jugband Blues. Good stuff!
  7. That's interesting because I have read quotes where the members thought on Dark Side... was where the band created their best as a band. I know they don't have much good to say about "Have A Cigar" being sung by Roy Harper - Roger and David have said they didn't know why or how they came to that decision back then. A lot of pressure surrounded the recording of Wish You Were Here.
  8. I've seen them many times, however last year they (Scott, I mean) did not show up for the concert and they cancelled AFTER the opening bands had played. Hope you have better luck there! U2 tomorrow night!!!! Counting down the minutes!
  9. THE Ballad Of John and Yoko - The Beatles
  10. Welcome to the forum. Peace.

  11. Very pretty, indeed! Ithica sweatshirt, huh?! I used live up there and went to Bonaventure - for a little while! Peace.
  12. You're in for a treat seeing Alice In Chains. Saw them in the fall of '07 with the new lead singer and they hadn't missed a beat (RIP Layne). Peace.
  13. Was that the Classic Albums Physical Graffiti show? I caught that show and it was awesome!! Next concert will be U2 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa (10/9/09)!
  14. Over Now - Alice In Chains
  15. Agreed. Love Ozzy, just not what has become of him. I guess when the t.v. shows don't work out, money has to be made other ways! What a sad, joke of a family.
  16. On vinyl I have (without a turn table to play them on ): The complete BBC recordings (4 records) Japan (don't remember the exact date) '71 Persistence (SF '73) Montreal '75 How Many More Times (LB '75) Part of Earl's Court (5/24/75) The Last Brawl (Oak. '77) Brussels '80 Frankfurt '80 I think that is all, but I am going off memory.
  17. Rock 'N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution - AC/DC
  18. Down In A Hole - Alice In Chains
