Pink Floyd

[errant]

Selfish bastards want to kiss and make up so they can tour again before they snuff it/get dementia

they did, and then one did...

Division Bell is excellent IMHO. Nothing will beat WYWH or Animals though.

Except for Dark Side of the Moon. Or if the mood takes me, Meddle.

Like the rest of Floyd's post Waters stuff this album will sound exactly like a Gilmour solo effort. Final Cut was indulgent rubbish for the most part but that band still needs that voice to make it work imho.

Love Waters but he is a miserable twat. Like most bands they are better together than apart. I'd pay a fortune to see the 3 of them play together again. My mate saw them in 2005 and said it was an incredible experience.

Except for Dark Side of the Moon. Or if the mood takes me, Meddle.

Agree love Meddle.

Probably controversial. but I found the 'Final Cut' album to be the last good/great Floyd album.
I also rated the 3 Roger Waters solo studio albums very highly.
Just a shame they can not work together anymore, and I hope they don't tour again as the Floyd as I'd have to spend a lot of hard earned money to go to (probably) London to see them. Couldn't let it pass without going though.

Final Cut is basically a Waters solo album. I listened to it once but never again.

They should have left it at The Wall. Always go out on top.

Incidentally am I the one who likes Atom Heart Mother? Doesn't seem to get much of a mention when people talk about Floyd albums.

 

[Big Duke Six]

We can play the solo of Comfortably Numb then?

 

[The Man The Legend]

if the mood takes me, Meddle.

By which, do you mean Echoes? The other side of Meddle is about as ordinary as Side 2 of Atom Heart Mother, which plumbed the Floydian depths in my book.

Meddle's class man.

 

[The Man The Legend]

Meddle's class man.

Well...if you say so. It takes all sorts!

 

[chriswallace85]

Have to say, I've seen the artwork and it's one of the most boring covers ever.

Remember when they'd produce album covers that were seen as classics?

Storm's dead like - might have something to do with it.

Well...if you say so. It takes all sorts!

Listening now, and I do say so.

That, Meddle and The Wall are their best, for me

If and Fat Old Sun

Hmmm...'A Pillow of Winds' and 'Seamus' won't be in many people's Floyd Top 10, I dare say. 'Fearless' is pretty mundane and 'One of These Days' is a gimmicky rewrite of 'Eugene'. Not for me.

 

[Ras Kassiano]

Meddle's class man.

Fearless is the one like. My second fav by them, after Grantchester Meadows

Then Pillow Of Winds. Both class.

I'd forgotten the studio album in Ummagumma. That's mostly pants anarl, I'll stick with the live album (which is class).

 

[macsiemus]

Fearless is a great song.

Aubrey Powell?

This is more or less the correct assessment, though when they were truly great Wright was in on it too.

I agree, Wright was amazing and could make the songs sound incredible.

WYWH is the winner for me. One day I might change my mind, I guess that's the beauty of music.

 

[heston]

f***ing boring hippies, wish they'd fuck off.

It was really just an experiment. They each had half a side with which to do a solo piece. Why they wanted to release it I'm not sure, but the live record was the vehicle with which to do so I think. Without that, I doubt they'd have quite gotten away with it.

I keep changing from DSOTM to WYWH to Animals to Meddle

I saw Waters play The Wall at the MEN a few years ago and it was the best gig I've ever been too. I'd love to see the Floyd live...even without Waters. I remember seeing the live Pulse recordings at Earls Court and they were f***ing amazing. Seen the Australian Pink Floyd and Brit Floyd a couple of times and really enjoyed it. I agree that the post-Waters Floyd is a poor comparison to the real thing (A Momentary Lapse of Reason being one of the worst Floyd albums - I just can't listen to it), however I really like the Division Bell. Apprehensively looking forward to the new album...I just HOPE that it's not really shit.

DSOTM is a f***ing brilliant, timeless album, but the one I keep going back to is Animals. Never really got the whole Wish You Were Here thing.

Waters solo stuff after he left Floyd (Pro's and Con's, Radio Kaos and Amused to Deaths) are more 'Floyd' Than anything Gilmour did afterwards. However, I can't get away with The Final Cut.

I also struggle to listen to anything before Meddle...
