:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi:

1. I would like to suggest that you go listen to some pre-1986 music

I'm glad you are into some of the great bands - Pink Floyd, Genesis, and so forth. But I notice that you seem to know only their more recent, and not as good, music.

Learning to Fly is okay, but nowhere near their greatest - they had much better music before, AND, IMO, Division Bell was a Much better album than Momentary Lapse of Reason.

Check out their albums Animals, Saucerful of Secrets, and Wish You Were Here.

15. Wish You Were Here is a great song.

It edges out Learning to Fly and Comfortably Numb by a bit.

As far as Genesis goes, I love all their music, but Lamb is astounding.

[Parche]

22. PF

I have almost all of their albums, Animals is one of my favorites
one of my favorites "Cheney on the wing"

2. nope

best pink floyd song is a tough one, but I'm thinking 'Arnold Lane' has got a pretty good shot for it.

8. Arnold Laaaaaaane...

...had a straaaaaaange hobby... :D Good stuff. :hi:

[no name no slogan]

12. THAT's my kind of Floyd

My band sometimes warms up with a really shitty version of "Interstellar Overdrive". Barrett-era Floyd is sublime. The rest ain't too bad either.

[Cabcere]

14. Too cool!

One time I was hanging out with one of my friends (who doesn't listen to Floyd), and for some reason or another I was singing a couple of lines from "Bike," and he thought I was making it up. :P Early Floyd stuff is just so cool, and it doesn't get nearly enough attention, IMO. (Of course, I love Roger Waters and the lyrics & music of later Floyd as well, but Barrett's work just had an otherworldly feel to it, you know?) :hi: Peace.

[harmonicon]

20. I agree, but not all of their earlier stuff

The first few albums I think were really great, especially the barrett ones, but I think some things like 'atom heart mother' and 'meddle' are just bad. And, sin of sins, I don't like 'dark side of the moon'. I think I liked it at one time maybe, but it's such a cultural icon, I can't listen to it as a piece of music anymore. I still think 'animals' is great though.

3. Based on great memories...

learning to fly. Stuff off the final cut and momentary lapse in reason.

mmm..

[SocratesInSpirit]

4. I like "Time"

...hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way, the time has gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say...:)

[Cabcere]

10. I agree

Love those lyrics, and the music is darn good, too. :thumbsup:

[rocktivity]

5. Comfortably Numb

Their Live 8 performance, even at their old age, was quintessential.

:headbang:
rocknation

[Cabcere]

9. Word.

:thumbsup: "Comfortably Numb" was the song that got me into Pink Floyd, and their Live 8 performance of it was stunning. :D :thumbsup:

[OhioChick]

29. You Got it...

:toast:

[no name no slogan]

6. That's NOT Pink Floyd. That's the Dave Gilmour Experience

No Waters or Barrett == NOT PINK FLOYD

[lost-in-nj]

7. Castro you have been

lost


:hi:

[Parche]

23. and you are? Gorn

found Gorn

[hellbound-liberal]

11. Gotta go with One of These Days from Meddle. Truly awesome musicianship!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot9rX0N5oIw

Though, I think, an argument could be made for many, many of their songs! :hi:

[Cabcere]

13. I always enjoy watching that part of Live at Pompeii

:hi: I love how Nick Mason throws/drops one of his sticks at one point, and just picks up another one like nothing happened and keeps going. Never misses a beat. :D

[hellbound-liberal]

16. I noticed that too! Up until then, I thought he might be "medicated"

but, when he did that, he seemed to be totally in control. I love all Floyd but especially the older stuff!

[malta blue]

18. I love it when gilmour says

"people think we're a drug-oriented band. Of course we're not. You can trust us." and then gives this killer smirk. :rofl:

[Cabcere]

19. Ahahaha! I know, isn't that great?

:rofl: Glassy eyes and all...lol. :rofl:

[MrScorpio]

17. That's easy: Money!

21. I like Fearless alot

Also...

Great Gig in the Sky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXkVpifmxUg

and from the Syd era I like Lucifer Sam

From the Wall I like Goodbye Blue Sky

[Orsino]

24. My wife will vote for "High Hopes"

...for the stunning guitar. It may be her favorite song of all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ioavsW0tgI

I tend to prefer the older stuff, but it would be hard to pick one favorite.

[Parche]

25. High Hopes

Does rock, it is awesome!!!

:hi:

[OmahaBlueDog]

27. Goodbye Blue Sky

I also like "On the Turning Away" and "One of These Days"

[Giant Robot]

26. Don't laugh at this

But I always loved "Mother."

If just to hear someone sing, "Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?" And the Sinead O'Connor version is both beautifully powerful and disturbing hearing her sing that line.

Oh and the killer guitar work.

[quadriga]

28. I like 'Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict'

[Bennyboy]

30. The Correct answer is Careful With that Axe Eugene.....

[Bennyboy]

31. This is a great show!

http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/dt/pink-floyd-concert/1143-5541.html Wofgangs vault has one other show (Animals tour) and a Gilmour show too.

32. Wish You Were Here

Wonderful, beautifull,and sad.

But I love The Wall. Sad story, but true. When I was young, my father would take me to his bedroom. With all the lights off. (Sounds like an episode of Nancy Grance.) But he would sit me beside him, play the album and cry. So that entire album has a great deal of emotion for me.
