Not enough Meddle love around here, and I don't think anyone has mentioned how badass Atom Heart Mother is.

jackyl posted:one of my turns owns, thats exactly when the wall goes dark, it is loving perfect Yeah that is one of the high points in the album. Empty Spaces' transition into Young Lust owns bones too. I'm sorry the movie is pretty much garbage though. I think part of my general dislike for the album before I listened to it last night were the memories of that junk.

Amazing until the wall album. Dark side, shine on you my crazy diamond, and animals revolutionized rock music in its own way and are some of the greatest rock albums ever imo.

Other Barry posted:the final cut is the best roger waters solo album the final cut owns but it's probably the biggest downer album known to man. if you can listen to the whole album and not become a depressing sack of poo poo who wants to kill themselves then you're probably a robot or serial killer or something. I always skip Not Now John when listening to it because it's weird and poppy and upbeat and really breaks the flow of things. Echoes is easily their greatest ever by a gigantic margin.

Pink Floyd is so amazing

and yeah, Empty Spaces/Young Lust is one of the handful of song pairs where when they play the latter song on the radio without the former I get pissed. Like when they play "You Really Got Me" without Eruption, or "A little help from my friends" without SGt. Pepper's. I'd include "Heartbreaker/Livin' Lovin Maid," except Heartbreaker is hands down the best LZ song so they never forget to play it.

And while we're talking about drug-rock opuses (opi?) my wife and I consider this to be "our song" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEZH0t5Yozw See, she was pregnant with twins AND a basketball sized fibroid tumor. So thing were constantly stressful. One day, we drove to the hospital for her daily examination and this song came on that same station that plays all the long Pink Floyd songs. It's the only time we remember being relaxed during the entire pregnancy, and the song NEVER ENDED. Plus, I smoked a bowl beforehand so, yeah. Good song.

Their best song is over 20 minutes long and contains five minutes of seagull squawking and guitar screaming, and a lot of other good songs are still over ten minutes, so yeah basically. The funky organ part of echoes was used as the background music for the ads on my favorite classic rock station for a while though. Then again, I was once listening to that station at like 3:30 AM while doing some late night analyses and they played all 45 minutes of Thick as A Brick, which was a nice surprise

What are your favorite lesser-known Waters/PF songs? I mentioned Gunner's Dream earlier. This song from MORE is one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRZCzxI-akU And Childhood's end is a classic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_CATnUOngA

One Slip is great, but they bury the awesome intro in the previous song. Thanks to youtube time-marked urls I can finally hear it just right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJjL2waEG0Q Reminds me of "I got you all in check" by Busta Rhymes, with an awesome intro that nobody ever hears.

Australian Pink Floyd show here in September. They are greatsave the wierd gu that they have sing Comfortably Numb. He's a bit too pretentious. Nobody has mentioned Time yet. Officially mentioning time. Especially Gilmour on Remember That Night. Kills the solos. PS: gently caress Waters. Fog Tripper fucked around with this message at 04:23 on Jun 28, 2015 |

Animals is their best album if you're going to listen through an entire album rather than pick and choose different songs. Dark Side of the Moon & The Wall are the albums most people hear first by them nowadays. Wish You Were Here is good but overplayed as heck. Meddle is p drat good. Everything after The Wall sounds like corny 80s stuff imo Their early stuff is pretty far out there and includes a lot of noise music. Pink Floyd is a good band.

Yeah, until More (their third album), I'm dumbfounded as to how they had such great success. I also found Atom Heart Mother to be a bunch of noise, too. I own all their albums except Endless River, and all the other ones contain at least one song that crushes. Atom Heart mother Crushes at times, but at other times it's a horrifying din.

Ooh fun trivia question. Everyone knows Dark side of the moon holds the record for "longest reign on the billboard charts," having charted in its top 200 albums for 741 weeks, but for how many of those weeks was it ranked #1?
