Pink Floyd

[grendood]

I own 20 pink floyd albums...

easily the best band ever.

[norway]

yeah i got most the albums, they great

Big PF fan here. My favorite album is easily Wish You Were Here. Division Bell close second. I don't really like the (very) early Floyd (pre-72/73) and Waters solo albums (although his concerts are great). I think all the rest is great and their comeback in 1994 was pretty fuckin cool. No album since then, kinda like GN'R!

As for their hits, I guess you could say: Learning To Fly, On The Turning Away, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, High Hopes, Wish You Were Here, Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2), Us And Them, Money, Comfortably Numb, etc.

I just have to say "the grass was greener"  , now that's feeling

[jgfnsr]

Overrated.? And well, boring.

Sorry, what can I say?

They have some good tunes but I never met an actually "huge" fan of Pink Floyd that didn't really enjoy listening to them unless they were drunk and/or high...?

[Captain Obvious]

I try and I try and I try to see anything spectacular in Pink Floyd, but nothing ever comes up. Whenever its not long, bland solos, or repeating sound effects, its Roger Waters' unexpressive moaning, which can put an insomniac to sleep.

But saying something bad about Pink Floyd is never a good idea, because you will get grilled with arguments such as "Their lyrics are so deep, noone can understand them. Everyone is too stupid."

have a cigar by PF is just awesome!

I am a big Pink Floyd fan. I am not as quite as fond as their pre-Dark Side days, although it contains such gems as Piper At The Gates of Dawn, Obscured by Clouds, and Atom Heart Mother. The classic Floyd era (Dark Side through The Wall) is probably the best series of albums a band could ever release. Every album from that time period is excellent. My favorite being Animals. I think Roger Waters hit a wall when he wrote the Wall because the Final Cut and his whole solo career is very bland to me. Post-Waters Pink Floyd is always underrated. The Division Bell is a fantastic album and A Momentary Lapse of Reason is pretty enjoyable although much different.

They have that many?!

I have 5 or 6 on my computer, and I've never listened to any of them properly. I tried listening to DSOTM in headphones whilst lying in bed, which I was told would be some sort of magical experience, but I found it kinda boring and stopped after 6 tracks, I think.

Well, there not for everyone but overrated is not a word I'd use for them.

Okay, so I bought Wish You Were Here and Meddle yesterday.

I love Wish You Were Here all the way through, it is great.

Meddle is alright, I like Echos and the 1st track.

But, The Wall is still my all-time favorite.

I just have to get the rest of their earlier stuff, and then I'll get Animals + The Division Bell.

Yes, it is a post Roger Waters album. The last album Roger appeared on was the Final Cut, which was essentially a Waters solo album. Pink Floyd released A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell without Roger Waters.

I like Echos and the 1st track.

I Love pINK fLOYD. i Consider myself a big fan of this band, and i've never smoked a joint or whatever, & i still enjoy ,respect & understand their music.

Best albums for me i think: The Wall, Animals, Dark Side of The Moon, Wish you were here, Meddle,A Saurceful of secrets.

I got into Pink Floyd long before drinking or doing any drugs.  They are my second favorite band.

It's totally underappreciated, but I think The Final Cut is their best album.  It's nearly a Water's solo album, but the guitar work by Gilmour is phenomonal.

If you're used to listening to pop music, or straight up rock'n'fuckinroll, I can see why Pink Floyd would seem boring.  It's more subtle, but you learn the appreciate all the textures with time.  The production work is brilliant, listen to The Final Cut with headphones and you'll just be amazed at all the different things going on.

[youngerformofaxl]

I agree. I listened to Dark Side Of The Moon last July/August and I thought some songs were cool but others didn't really flow with me but I learned to appreciate it with time. I also learned to appreciate their other albums even more like Wish You Were Here and The Wall.
