Just curious... Currently listening to "The Division Bell" which I haven't heard in AGES, and it's sooooooo fukkin cool....

Pink Floyd were such a great, great band. Light years ahead of their time....

 

went to see the 'australian pink floyd' last week, wow , what a stage show, fook amazing , very very good band

 

me!

lost that album just now.....did u steal it

 

Dave - Yeah, popped tound yours earlier and had it away

Got "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" playing now - another great, but often under-rated album.....

Course, you can't beat the classics like Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You were Hear, or The Wall, but these two albums hold a specail place in my heart, for reasons I am not exactly sure lol.....

 

quality stuff

as said, can't beat Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, but they're the ones everyone always talks about

 

Exactly... Tho the reason I love Dark Side (apart from the superb tracks on it) is cos it was so utterly ahead of it's time... 1971 that record was recorded! But it's so prog that it would sound futuristic even if it was recorded 10 years later!!!!! (by the way, that album came out 10years before I was born lol)

 

it certainly sounds like nothing that would be released today anyway

 

I went to see Pink Floyd in Amsterdam on their last tour, Ace

 

always liked pink floyd.wouldnt say got any favourites but got nealry all the albums i think.listen to them now and again but have to be in the mood for them

 

pink floyd hs to be one of the greats

 

The older I get the more I'm beginning to like their stuff

 

The Floyd has to be one of the greatest bands ever.

Had Dave Gilmour's album on at work today

 

would not say im a "massive fan" ....but i do have a few of their albums

another brick in the wall is one of my favorates.

 

Division bells a good album, one of my favs at the moment, first album after Roger left IIRC. Also been listening to More which is pretty good aswell

as RStoughy says, "on an Island" David Gilmores album is very good

 

wouldnt mind being a pound behind nick mason , or just having a couple of his cars

 

Best band in the world no question, it's a real shame that they keep holding back the release of "The Pulse" on DVD as that is pure class

I manage to set fire to the crossovers in my RTL speakers listening to the track comfortably numb at an insane volume whilst pissed one night

Pink floyd are a band im kind of 'saving while later'. May start to listen to them some time soon....

 

 

top top band , went to see them at Earls Court in 1994 blew me away

also going to see Dave Gilmour in May at Royal Albert Hall

going to be playing new album and some off the old Floyd stuff

 

I've sat in Nick Masons 250gto worth 8 million or something, mint car!

 

Pink floydd are a top class band When i'm pissed off i throw some petrol in my car put there CD on and go for a nice slow drivre

 

I'm a massive Floyd fan. I started to learn to play the guitar because of Wish you were here

Meddle is a personal favourite of mine - Echoes is class. Animals is also very good.

I've downloaded quite a bit of their early stuff too which is a bit of an acquired taste. I think you have to be on acid to appreciate that

Nick Masons book is also very good.

The chap at work who LOVES Pink Floyd, and is the guy who keeps giving me copies of their albums to get me into them is VERY pissed that they keep delaying the Pulse DVD - cos he was at that gig!

You do need to be on acid to appreciate the early stuff I think lol Guy at work lent me a video, filmed in the late 60's, of them playing live in the ruins of Pompeii - not to a crowed, but just set up there and filmed a live video.... It was pre-Dark Side, and pre-Wish You Were Here, so I didn't really know any stuff on it, but it is VERY surreal With song title like "Carefull With that Axe Eugene" and "One Of These Days I am Going To Cut You Into Little Pieces" and "Set Controls For The Sun"

It;s very fucked up But still cool as fook

 

Set the controls is class

 

I really should hate them for being such wanky prog stuff, but I cant.

Interestingly, Pink Flloyd makes people 'twitch' more than almost any other music.

 

Now see, in the past ouple of years I have really begun to "dig" the prog stuff.... It's all Petrucci's fault for getting me into Dream Theater Very prog metal.... Think Metallica having a head on collision with Pink Floyd

But I agree with the "twitch" thing... Listening to "Take It Back" from the "Division Bell" album and the hairs on the back of my neck are standing up... "Comfortably Numb" (from "The Wall") makes every single hair on my entire body stand on end, even just thinking about the song I get goosebumps..... I dunno why, there is just something electric about that record - it's like Guns N Roses "November Rain" or "Estranged", or the solo break in Dream Theater's "Lie" - they all do it to me.... But Floyd more than most I think......

 

See, I always figured that it was just a reaction to music you like. But apparently it isnt always. People twitch in reaction to music biologically, if you like. I dont know the name of the study, but I can probably find it out, but it basically found that across a massive cross section of people, Floyd makes people twitch more than anything else they tried. Useless bit of trivia for you.

I suppose its not that bad liking Pink Floyd really, my only real music rule is I hate music without a message or a point to it, and where there are lyrics, they are good, so Ill justify it that way

 

Me too mate, what a fooking good gig

Wish you were here, gotta be 1 of the best imo

 

I went to school with his daughters one was in my class and one was older and did work experince with my dad doing anamation my claim to fame.

 

Whose that then? Which member I mean...
