I dunno, the first song on Full Circle isn't that far off something Bob Weir woulda put out.

I have not as of yet been able to determine why "Pink Floyd Finger Puppets" rules.

I know it must. But I can't shake the feeling that the guy who posted it is going to hunt me down and kill me.

had a shitass day and then I re-watched Classic Albums - Dark Side of the Moon ...like magic.
fukn Floyd man
of all the bands that I enjoy listening to, there's just something about Floyd where 'being in the mood' is irrelevant because as soon as you hear it you're instantly in full receiving mode. Every song has a favorite part, and the whole thing, Dark Side, just lifts you out of yourself. (And no I didn't smoke a damn thing lol). You know? Wish I could build a time machine and go back to those old Floyd days where you could see them play their guts out to a blazed audience for no money.
PINK FLOYD RULES

Dark Side, just lifts you out of yourself.
The lines of the prism formed a heartbeat line inside the gatefold of the vinyl issue and once during "Us & Them" when the lyric "the lines moved side to side", they did.

Gilmour was quite emotional, unusually for him, and I've warmed to Nick Mason over the years but the rest of them: Storm Thorgesen, Aubrey Powell, Gerald Scarfe *shiver*

Saw this two hour ad (my god their videos suck shit! Gets worse with their later, utterly hopeless and unsalvageable music) - getting to the point of cynicism with all the Syd stuff, felt like all the talk/writing songs about him was out-of-place beforehand, and feel that now more than ever.

This goes for pretty much every 60s&70s band.

oh my god! I just realized that if you play Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds at the same time as you watch Barbet Schroeder's The Valley, it syncs up perfectly!

Since the Floyd I had was a few of the original CDs and I found it at a pretty good price on ebay I got the recent Discovery box set with everything remastered. It's been a good five weeks listening. I never had a copy of Atom Heart Mother as I remember hearing it once and thought it was pretty bad. It's not fantastic, but it definitely has been the big surprise of the box set so far(and I still haven't opened The Wall or the later Cds).
It is interesting to look back at Floyd and they kind of really modeled up what became those classic records over a few years and then really nailed it, as there are moments on Atom Heart Mother and the soundtracks that really builds up to the Dark Side and Wish You We're Here.
I think when Rick Wright kind of froze up and quit really being a big part of the music, while they continued to make music and obviously popular, they lost quite a bit of their sound. His relaxed and melodic and droning keys are so much of what makes the Meddle-Dark Side-Wish You We're Here band and the one that made the soundtracks work. It's really the 'body' of their sound and years on into listening to the band, I'm not so sure not the key piece.
They obviously made some good music once Gilmour and Waters got into their thirty year knife fight from Animals on, but really it's not quite the same.
― earlnash, Thursday, 28 June 2012 03:04 (eleven years ago) link
Don't forget Wright's harmony vocals (and leads) as well. Very missed in the later albums.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 28 June 2012 11:44 (eleven years ago) link
Listening this morning to live recordings from the Animals tour and the assault on the audience through those vitriolic songs is amazing. A little faster, a little more distortion, the spitting attack of the singing (not to mention the real spit - just starting that Montreal show); it all combines to let the listener feel the frustration and anger and misanthropy. I'm in love.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 28 June 2012 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, Richard Wright was the one that gave Pink Floyd's sound it's grace both with the keys and his voice.
