Pink Floyd Topic


Sunwarriord

Recommended Posts

Since there's been quite a few topics about certain bands, i'll guess i'll start one on one of my all time favorite bands. Discuss Pink Floyd.

 

 

 

Myself, i've only own the Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals. I plan on buying Piper at the Gates of Dawn though, i hear its really good. Next time i stop by a cd store i'll probably grab it.

 

 

 

I love Roger Water's lyrical work and David Gilmour's excellence on guitar, one of my all time favorite guitarists, and how they had all those like experimental sounds on their instruments and amps to give it that pychedelic effect like i heard they used ball bearings sliding up and down their guitar strings. I never really listened to much when Syd Barrett really lead Pink Floyd, did he only record Piper at the Gates of Dawn with them? Also list your favorite songs by Floyd. Mine are (not in order) Young Lust, Time, Hey You, Money, Us and Them, Brain Damage, the Show Must go On, Comfortably Numb, Waiting for the Worms, Pigs (Three Different Ones) (what is that like screechingish sounding solo around halfway through the song?) Shine on You Crazy Diamond pt. 1/2, Speak to Me/Breathe (this song really does a good job leading into DSotM with the heart beating and all the sounds you hear throughout the album), Have a Cigar, Welcome to the Machines, Wish You Were Here.

 

 

 

Also I wanted to see one of their live concerts, so i bought Live in Pompeii. It isn't a live dvd, like i watched Echoes and Brain Damage on it then turned if off since i had to finish something, probably finish it over the weekend, but is just like videos of just them performing? And is the Wall dvd worth watching? I watched the Who's Tommy and absolutely hated it, loved the music, but the movie was terrible imo.

 

 

 

Discuss please.

Daan, we can't bump old threads up :wink:, and I rather have an active Pink Floyd topic than a dead one :?

Songs I love by them: Time, Speak to Me/Breathe, Pigs, Wish you Were Here, Another Brick in the Wall (part 2), Money, Shine on You Crazy Diamond (1-7), Arnold Layne, Confortably Numb, Brain Damage, Eclipse and High Hopes.

 

 

 

You gotta love their amp distortions and the hair Gilmour no longer has(:lol:)

I personaly never got too into them. They are a great, very tallented band, no doubt about that. However, I guess I just never got many of their songs, and the ones I did were realy quiet.

 

 

 

Although, I may try and get more, because early this year someone brought in The Wall (DVD) to class for a project. anyways, we watched it, and the music was amazing. However, i'm not a huge fan of the genre (not sure what you could call it realy, but stuff like this and led zepplin), even though I have a lot of respect and can listen to their songs and enjoy it.

True, even though I like them a lot, there aren't many (or any) other bands with songs like Pink Floyd's. What could we call them? Some sort of progressive rock?

Psycadelic/Progressive/Classic depending on what time frame your listening from..

 

 

 

like the psycadelic stuff was mostly with Syd, and prog/Classic, was more without. although anything old can be called classic.

I'm a big fan of Pink Floyd. I've got Echoes, Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, i think they're great. The way they texture and layer sounds, and use everyday objects and noises is fantastic. Great guitar work as well. I love the way the albums evolve and one song will move seamlessly onto the next.

A graet band indeed! I have a lot of albums from them, the best for me are : "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason", "Wish You Were Here", "The Dark Side Of The Moon" (the all time classic) and the list goes on!

 

 

 

One of my friends has the so called "Black Box", its the collection of the best albums digitally remasterd in Japan. There are only 10000 of them in the world. I have a cope from them :D

boogie... wtf u dont even listen to them.. every time i see u listening to music on msn its something to do with dragons or mytical stuff... the names of the songs u listen to are so f'ed... its like music i'd expect a person wearing a final fantasy costume or one of those people u see at "costume-con" festivals to listen to.

 

 

 

Roger and David are one two of the most recognized voices in music...

 

 

 

i dunno.. im just to over-protective..

 

 

 

but seriously.. the names of the songs u listen to boogie.. YTF?!
