ZeppFanForever Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 One of my fave band pics: , Jo THE GREAT PINK FLOYD INDEED! ROF! Quote
Walter Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Granted it's the most accessible of all their works and the most well-known, but even the band says it's not their best - they say that title goes to Wish You Were Here. 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. Quote
pagemccartney95 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I prefer the band's albums from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn to The Wall. The Final Cut is more of Roger's solo project than a group effort, and while I like the music they put out after Roger left, I don't really consider it to be Pink Floyd. See what I mean? , Jo Quote

imPLANTed Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I definitely need more PF in my music library. Quote
ZeppFanForever Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I definitely need more PF in my music library. Yes you do my dear! ROF! And yes Jo, It is a great psychedelic album! Great to take acid with too! ROF! Edited October 16, 2009 by ZeppFanForever Quote
pagemccartney95 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Currently my fave Pink Floyd song, "San Tropez" from Meddle: As I reach for a peach Slide a rind down behind the sofa in San Tropez Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand Riding a wave in the wake of an old Sedan Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness Scratched by the sand that fell from our love Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling If you're alone I'll come home Backwards and home bound The pidgeon the dove Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane Owning a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champaigne like a big tycoon Sooner than wait for a break in the weather I'll gather my far flung thoughts together Speeding away on a wind to a new day If your alone I'll come home And I pause for a while By a country style And listen to things they say Digging for gold in the hoe in my hand Hoping they'll take a look at the way things stand And you're leading me down to the place by the sea I hear your soft voice calling to me Making a date for later by phone if you're alone I'll come home I know...I'm weird. , Jo Edited October 16, 2009 by pagemccartney95 Quote

imPLANTed Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Weird, you say, PageMcCartney. I don't know, we're all here because we admire a band that broke up 29 years ago. Some say that's weird. At least that's what people have told me. I find no weirdness in you at all. Quote

imPLANTed Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 And besides, Jo, there's always something weird to point out in someone else. Right back at um. Quote

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! Quote
Electrophile Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I don't have one particular album I favor over others, it's impossible for me to choose just one. There are however, albums I DON'T care for. Right now I've been listening to The Division Bell a lot because I just got it on vinyl and it's such a great record. Last week it was Animals, next week it might be Saucer. Who knows. BTW, I noticed no one here has talked about Obscured by Clouds. What a shame, it's better than a lot of their earlier stuff and stands up well to their later works. Burning Bridges is in the top 5 all-time Floyd songs. Quote
imPLANTed Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I love people that are into their Floyd. Quote
Electrophile Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Unfortunately, my fandom came around after they stopped making music together....mostly because I was born in 1982, but I got into them on my own. Heard Comfortably Numb on the radio once, begged my dad for the album it came on....he bought me the cassette. Ironically enough, as much as I dislike 95% of The Wall, it's the only Floyd album I own on 4 mediums: vinyl, cassette, CD and mp3. Quote

Well, now I will now that you've mentioned it! I LOVE THE OBSCURED BY CLOUDS album from 1972. I love the songs "Obscured By Clouds," "Burning Bridges," "The Gold It's In The...," "WOTS...Uh The Deal," Mudmen," "Childhood's End," "Free Four" and "Absolutely Curtains" just to name a few. Hell Electrophile, I love all of the songs on this album. ROF my dear! Quote
pagemccartney95 Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 I've got Dark Side of the Moon on 4 mediums: mp3, cassette, CD, and 8-track. Still have yet to get it on vinyl. Obscured by Clouds is a very good album. I love "Free Four". I'm not sure why, though. , Jo Quote
