PINK FLOYD

What you say about Waters or Gilmour makes sense, they complimented each other. What you're saying about Barrett is INSANE. Piper at the Gates of Dawn doesn't rule????

Barrett Floyd was more democratic than Waters or (especially) Gilmour Floyd (mainly because Gilmour Floyd, at least on AMLOR, had no other Floyd members).

Barrett Floyd also featured songs written by Waters and Wright, and sung by them! And is also totally faultless.

Okay, you're right, Barrett Floyd isn't the same situation as with the Waters and Gilmour Floyds. But I've never really warmed to the Piper era (except for Astronomy Domine and See Emily Play) so nope, it doesn't rule for me.

u need an oil slide projector

i'm not that big on most of the syd stuff either, but that doesn't stop it from RULING

I'll say it again, because I played it again in the car:

You need this.

This is the reimagined second album with Syd. Side 1 is perfect, side 2 loses it a little but is still great.

Sometimes I wish I could hear the thoughts going through the heads of all the women who posed for that nude pink floyd covers album while they were getting made up/sitting there

If I didn't know for sure, I'd swear one of them was our Amber.

my guess is those girls were thinking

PINK FLOYD RULES

Funnily enough, I jut GIs'd that pic, and there's the next one taken just after.

So I can relate that at least one of them is thinking "I've had enough, I'm getting in the pool"

dude we all know what they were thinking (see original post at top of thread)
lol xp

I wish I could post

PINK FLOYD RULES

in rainbow colors because that too would rule

If this has not been done, Weird Al really needs to make a "Back Catalogue" poster with his own records and each model is actually him.

awesome. also awesome

Wow, the Deaner cover really nailed the way the vocals sound on the early 70s boots.

So would it be unkind to say that some of the new one sounds like commissioned music for one of those Pink Floyd Under Review DVDs?

Still liking it better than The Division Bell so far tho'.

If you haven't done so already, you need to communicate this to Mr. Yankovic post haste.

Ween will always be on my good side for this cover of All My Love:

No offense to the Ween, but the guitar soloing here really deepens my appreciation for Gilmour's skills

Yep, thought so:

pssh.

Mad "division bell" challoping

Funny, having read the Umma review, they rave about how great it is.

I agree with the choices for the top 3 but we diverge after that.

stereogum can eat it

they clearly do not understand how much floyd RULES

The writer is a bud of mine and freely admits the order changes day by day. Even their worst record RULES, as he often says.

big o has that total eclipse bootleg if you don't have it...it rules!

i can remember seeing it in a record store in the 90s for like $150 and desperately wanting to hear it.

I remember making cassette copies of that from a guy who had it around then. The combined Pigs on the Wing was about my favorite thing on it.

Listened to The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals back-to-back last night and found myself thinking that The Dark Side Of The Moon was the weakest of the three.

as music asymptotically approaches pure ruling, such distinctions are rendered pointless

Nick Mason has never been the greatest drummer in the world. Far from it. In fact, Pink Floyd's rhythm section is easily the worst aspect of the band musically to me. Having said that, his drumming is okay on Wish You Were Here and Animals. On The Dark Side Of The Moon he just sounds like a stoned amateur.

Well, there are some aspects of Pink Floyd which do not rule, therefore they cannot completely rule.

don't u blaspheme

On The Dark Side Of The Moon he just sounds like a stoned amateur.

I wouldn't go that far; I mean, he holds it together, swings a bit in 7/4, doesn't overplay on the fills, and has a pretty solid sense of orchestration.

That said, I vastly prefer his playing the first few records -- he really sounded like he was reaching for (and came pretty close to) some kind of psychedelic recontextualization of Elvin Jones' best ideas on Piper.

And he never again reached the funky heights of the midsection in the Pompeii version of "Echoes."

c'mon mason rules.

Of course he doesn't overplay, that's because he's constantly underplaying. I dunno, I just find his drumming on that album painfully boring, sounding permanently like Mason is about to fall asleep at any second and like he literally, physically can't be bothered to do anything more than the bare minimum he needs to. 'Money' is some of the most dull drumming in 7/4 I've ever heard in prog rock.

He sounds more alive on other tracks/albums, like 'Sheep' from Animals for example.

i know what you mean, but i also think the floyd might've been a worse band if they had a really virtuosic drummer
