Pink Floyd

[strung_out7]

the best ever band imo. could listen to anything from atom heart to the division bell (excluding the final cut) on repeat for days

 

[Madtiger2006]

Animals only an 8.5 and WYWH, possibly the greatest album ever made, only a 7.

What is wrong with you?

i don't even like the title song 'Wish you were here'. Sounds like a boring pub anthem. Have a cigar is pretty boring too. The rhodes piano is one of my fave instruments but this doesn't even save the song. Cigar starts of well a bit like Any colour you like but by half way mark I'm bored. Floyd never had a great composer. Good 2nd or 3rd tier proggers. They lack variety, lack excitement and fun

Please do get your ears checked. That is all.

It's not very good. Maybe for you but it doesnt reach my level of enjoyment. Lacks fun, lacks beauty. Floyd are the most overrated prog band by far

Whats that to do with the music? lol
Music and vocals are blande.

 

[The Passenger]

probably my favourite of the lesser known tracks is on the turning away.

a great band. encompass so many different sounds. brilliant.

 

[handy point]

Not an expert by any stretch, but I absolutely love Meddle and have listened to it while sitting in the amphitheatre at Pompeii.

Why?

 

[HARKER]

The way I'd rate Pink Floyd's albums:

Piper at the Gates of Dawn: 7.5/10
Saucerful of Secrets: 7/10
Ummagumma: 8/10
Atom Heart Mother: 7.5/10
Meddle: 9/10
Obscured by Clouds: 8/10
Dark Side of the Moon: 9.5/10
Wish you were Here: 8.5/10
Animals: 8/10
The Wall: 7/10

Many may have WYWH and Animals above DSOTM, but I think DSOTM set the template for what followed.

Had no real interest after that and even though I have the albums, I have little use for them

 

[Illinois Nazi]

I love ObC, if not for anything but for Stay. Brilliant track.




Many may not have heard this track previously.
It has elements of a couple of tracks and melded here quite well.
It's from a Pink Floyd session.

From the Zabriskie Point movie sessions.

 

[Goldenblue]

Nowhere near their best song but it still sounds good:

My effin' oath!!!

Gilmour is a brilliant guitar player, anyone who can play their guitar sounding like a violin is pure genius, but what I like about Young Lust is the solo played very differently as we are used to hearing from the great man. Whoever said Clapton was God was wrong. Gilmour is God!

DSOTM is the best PF album

 

[Roobs321]

I was more into Pink Floyd (and prog rock in general for that matter) prior to turning 21. But still love the Floyd.

Meddle is my favourite, just love the tone of the album (great sunday morning album). Echoes is just transportive and amazing. The middle tracks are all beautiful. The opener is perfect. Even Seamus warms on you over time. Meddle is perennially ranked around my #10th favourite album of all-time.

DSOTM and Animals are other albums that astonish me.

After that, Wish You Were Here is beautiful, but have to be in the mood (great study music). The Wall is inventive and diverse, but havent listened to it in years for whatever reason.

 

[La Dispute]

I’d say on the whole their more sprawling songs are their best, which is why I favour WYWH, Meddle and Animals over DSOTM. I actually find DS a little too short and other than Us & Them, I don’t really see any huge high points. It’s more a consistent, cohesive album which they’ve packed a shitload of ideas in throughout.

 

[Gasometer]

Look on YouTube for this.

Just posted in the past week

Exceptional!

PF in the Gilmour format were my first ever big concert back in early 1988

I think it was the first ever concert by anyone at Rod Laver

Smoking and drinking permitted

You will never ever see a concert stadium like that night in Australia ever again

Going back further to about 1982 I went and saw The Wall with Geldof at the Russell St Cinemas and that changed my teen years

Pity that they never reformed but it’s been that long now we don’t know any different and it adds to the mystique

They were never going to fully reform with Waters, although the classic lineup did perform together for the final time at the Live 8 event. Rick Wright died a few years later.

 

[Spearman]

yeah too bad nick didn't drop by for the barn jams, or Dave to Nick's Saucerful shows. It would take something truly momentous to get Dave and Roger on stage again together.

Yep, it took Bob Geldof to talk them into doing Live 8.

Unfortunately I never got to attend a Floyd concert, but have seen Roger, Dave and Nick solo shows.

 

[revo333]

I have gone right off them ever since Roger Waters turned full cooker since Covid.

Did enjoy listening to the new Gilmour live album though.
