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"...

That is a perplexing dallas cowboys short.

Young gilmour is really a fashion icon for todays young hipsters

They aim for Gilmour and wind up looking like McCartney.

haha

Have we come to a consensus yet what the best-sounding version of Dark Side of the Moon is? Is it the new 2011 James Guthrie mix? The original 1973 UK Harvest LP? The DSD 5.1 layer of the SACD? Pink Floyd RULES!

best sounding version is whatever version is playing right now.

Sigh... I guess I can't really argue with that.

[sorry, i don't actually know what the consensus is]

Anyone have a time machine?

I've posted this elsewhere on ILX, but Gilmour is totally on fire here

And in fact the Who were originally slated to be on that Hendrix/Move/Floyd show, but had to back out for some reason (either Keith Moon's broken foot, or the fact that their stock had fallen and they were decidedly unhip in late 1967 London).

Great unsung Gilmour work here. I think Alfred might agree with me that this was one of McCartney's last truly great ballads.

PS: Pink Floyd Rules

Heard that Macca song on the radio last week for the first time in eons and didn't recognize it until the chorus. Thought it amusing that at least until the bridge and chorus it could be just about anyone from that era.

Ha, that Hendrix/Move/Floyd poster: I just read Lemmy's autobiography this week, and he talks about being a roadie on that tour. So besides all those bands, you've got Lemmy hanging out backstage somewhere (and everybody tripping their asses off the whole time, naturally).

I'm sorry, is this even a question? We can certainly debate the varying merits of post-Syd and post-Waters Floyd (I'd argue that after WYWH, the stock thins considerably, but some of that is sentiment, I'm sure.)

Pink Floyd Rules. (Specially when they're just doing soundtracks for arty hippie flicks.)

never knew gilmour played a steinberger!
