PINK FLOYD

Foo Fighters with Waters on last night's Fallon: http://www.spin.com/articles/foo-fighters-cover-pink-floyd-roger-waters

What about latest re-mastered Piper, Relics? Anybody heard 'em?

just watched a clip of roger doing "in the flesh" with foo fighters on the jimmy fallon show. what rules so far from pink floyd week?

Pink Floyd rules, that's what.

this is probably the wrong thread to ask this on but is the division bell any good?

It inspired this, so how can it not rule?

(sorry for huge but it's Floyd + cake, you all can manage)

Oh god, I was still a teen when I really got into Pink Floyd (1994ish) and I liked DB. It is mostly a Gilmour thing and not limp so much as... I lack the word, something like rote?

I also was really into the Pulse live stuff, which is at least competent touring musicians and old men, right?

the thing is there was that whole early-days-of-internet ENIGMA thing w/division bell which was the first time I'd cared about post-Barrett Floyd since my high school stoner days

Omg you followed that on usenet? I thought it was just me! So dumb and unresolved and maybe just a roadie messing around or not even anything. "publius"

still the "I'll give you a sign" thing with the east rutherford show lights was way cool

my pulse box light still pulses. i can't even remember when i got it. much smoke on the water since. god this band rules

this is probably the wrong thread to ask this on but is the division bell any good?

― pathos of the unwarranted encore (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned)

'Marooned' and 'high hopes' are worth the admission price alone. I prefer it to The Wall.

While I'm at it this is how I would personally rate the PF albums:

1. Meedle
2. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
3. Animals
4. Dark Side of the Moon
5. Wish You Were Here
6. Ummagumma
7. The Division Bell
8. The Wall
9. Atom Heart Mother
10. A Saucerful of Secrets

I've only heard the final cut a couple of times. I found it dull but the holophonic effects sound brilliant on headphones... the whole album has a really nice sound, just no content.

1. The Wall
2. Dark Side
3. Animals
4. Meddle
5. Piper
5. Saucer
6. Wish You Were Here
7. Obscured by Clouds
8. More
9. Umma Gumma
10. Atom Heart Mother
11. Momentary Lapse
12. Division Bell
13. The Final Cut

I've never heard the More soundtrack. Am I missing out?

pink floyd rules

The nile song rules

Alright that song is pretty gooood. Why does nobody ever mention 'more' when talking about Pink Floyd? It sounds like it predates the ambitions they were going for in Meedle. It's interesting to hear their sound evolving from More into a definite musical entity responsible for one of the best album runs in rock history: meedle>dsotm>animals>wish you were here>the wall. But then again, few bands can RULE as hard as PF.

This is the tramp stamp one of my facebook friends has on her back. If you're gonna get a tramp stamp, you better get one that RULES.

word'em up

pink floyd rules!

I don't know if I agree its the best run. More like diminishing returns. dsotm is better than wish you were here which is better than animals which is better than the wall which is barely tolerable!

More has several essential PF classics, but also a lot of soundtracky noodling that gets skipped. For the good stuff though, it's always been one of my faves. The two hard rockers (Nile and Ibiza) and the ballads/psyche-folk stuff, Cirrus Minor, Crying Song, Green is the Colour, Cymbaline are all totally essential.

When did Roger Waters turn into Richard Gere??????

Animals "smaller" than Wish You Were here, but deeper imo

The other night I noticed an interesting irony of Pink Floyd: their formative work seems to resonate most with me the older I get, while their "mature" work I haven't wanted to hear since middle school. That is, older me finds much to love in Piper->Dark Side, increasingly less from WYWH->The Wall. MLOR I consider its own thing. Division Bell I've only heard in the context of that nicely sequenced two-disc best of.

Something about a tattoo right above your ass advertising the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

Think I'm going to get these guys - one on each cheek. How much would that rule?

Only rule if you can get them to "shake hands."

When did Roger Waters turn into Richard Gere??????

I've been wondering that for a long time too. He's definitely got better looking as he's got older (unlike Syd :( or, indeed, Dave and certainly Nick)

He smiles more, thesedays.

He smiles like a goddam joker! At the Live 8 reunion, he had that same smile plastered across his face the whole time.

I'm happy he's happy, but damn. I thought you were Roger "let's build a wall between us and the audience" Waters.

from my limited experience talkin Floyd with the ladies, they go apeshit for R Waters, always have--I wonder if it bothered pretty boy Gilmour although it doesn't look like anything ever bothered him

Roger Waters has issues and he's like, deeeeeep, man.

at some point upthread i briefly explored the world of pink floyd slash fiction. did not rule!

What if Pink Floyd were like the A-Team and rode around in this van?

HANNIBAL - Waters
FACE - Gilmour
MURDOCK - Wright
BARACUS - Mason

^okay would watch

from my limited experience talkin Floyd with the ladies, they go apeshit for R Waters

Well he's sort of square jawed and manly whereas DG is a bit too pretty

Remember that brief time in the 80s when PINK FLOYD was led by Biff from the Back to the Future movies?

Nah, that's the Fine Young Cannibals.

Trying to remember when the Dallas Cowboys ever went with a green and red color scheme, but I guess it doesn't matter because

PINK FLOYD RULES.

what rules even more about that picture is that they were watching a pink floyd show at the time. don't ask me how gilmour did it.

"Nice to see you guys. Gotta run. Time for my solo."

the look on macca's face only happens at pink floyd shows

"Nice to see you guys. Gotta run. Time for my solo."

"See you back here, oh, 15 minutes?"

I wonder if it ever happened where a kid was watching a Bonham drum solo and looked over next to him to see John Paul Jones standing there, grooving along.

Famously, you could have a drink with most of Cream while they were doing "Toad"...
