bigstickbonzo Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Obscured By Clouds is incredibly underrated and overlooked. IMO, the perfect transition from Meddle to Dark Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 i've been listening to wish you were here a lot lately, not enough songs on it tho tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZepp Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 i've been listening to wish you were here a lot lately, not enough songs on it tho tbh Animals only had like 4 or 5 songs. The only Floyd album with a bunch of songs was The Wall. All the others had about 8 or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cletus Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I personally HATE the word "overrated". So do I(and I know I've been guilty of using it in the past, I try not to anymore). Calling something overrated is putting your own opinion on a pedestal above all others. Rather arrogant, methinks. That's just how I feel, anyway. Sorry if I offend anybody.

bigstickbonzo Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 David Gilmour w/ Rick Wright - Wots...Uh the Deal Absolutely brilliant. My favorite song on Obscured and one of their best "most-overlooked" tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Agree with a lot of what bigstickbonzo says... Animals, WYWH and Obscured By Clouds are my most listened to Floydian albums... OBC is a great little album... Much overlooked. Also, any show from 75-77 is a must I'd say too... Gilmour's live solos are magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Calling something overrated is putting your own opinion on a pedestal above all others. Rather arrogant, methinks. Respectfully noted... At the same time though, why suppress your opinions..? You then run the risk of just being in a room full of sycophants and 'yes men', all agreeing because they don't want to upset anyone... Hardly an honest environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragster Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Ok, so let's get this started. Animals! Much better than the overrated WYWH and DSOTM, my fav is The Wall, such and outstanding masterpiece. OMFG!!!!!! The Wall???????? The WORST "rock" album in rock history......the true Floyd ARE and WILL REMAIN psychedelic, not disco crap!!!

The cd just flows so perfectly from one song to the other, thats what sold me on the album. Of course there are some of the songs i dont like, but in the end I just start it and continue to the end.. non stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think my favorite album is Piper. I love Syd Barrett. Second place would be the Wall and third would be Wish You Were Here. I'm not a terribly huge fan of Dark Side of the Moon when compared to their other works. But its a good album, definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattmc1973 Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Ah, I love the Floyd, and am especially a Gilmour fan. Some background...I saw Floyd in '94 at the Pontiac Silverdome. In January 2002 I went to London and saw David Gilmour at the Royal Festival Hall, doing his unplugged show. And in 2006 I went up to Toronto and saw him on his "On An Island" tour. All were awesome. Earlier in this thread, someone talked about 'Obscured By Clouds', and I have to agree, a very underrated album. Because it was recorded quickly as a soundtrack album, it's not layered or as thought out as their more known conceptual pieces. So it has a looser, rockier feel, and it's a great change of pace. As far as Dark Side Of The Moon, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some are just more stupid than others. 5th best selling album of all time, 40 million copies sold, etc. And beyond the numbers, it's widely acknowledged as a masterpiece. 'Meddle' is a great album, with Echoes probably being Floyd's best overall song. Seeing Dave perform it last year in Toronto was magic. That's all for now!
