Pink Floyd

[R6_kid]

Whats your favourite Pink Floyd song and why?

[sAsLEX]

The Wall - Heard it since a kid , dad had/has the album , always liked it

[jazbug5]

It has to be 'Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With a Pict'.

[ogr1]

That's a tough one..................
For me it's got to be "Marooned", off the "Division bell" album.
Why?.......Cause it's a very calming piece of music, relaxes me after a shitty day at work.

[R6_kid]

The Wall, its a classic... every kid loves to sing "hey teacher, leave those kids alone"

Wish you were here - very calm and reflective song, sorta sobers you up a bit as it's quite emotional to listen to.

[yungatart]

Shine on you crazy diamond -and comfortably numb- no reason!!

[zadok]

Echo's is one of my favourites. Great sound and long track.

[Magua]

Hard one to pick, I'd probably have to go with wish you were here. Reason, umm shit, it's different.

[T.W.R]

"Sorrow" or "On the turning away" both sung with emotion

[Motu]

Echos - there was this night....and a chocolate microdot....and....oh man,yeah,it was cool.....

[The Pastor]

Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly - because the aircraft chatter in the middle of it is real. And it gets bonus points.

[Badcat]

lets just say it speaks of darker days.

[Badcat]

Day after day,
Our love turns gray,
Like the skin on a dying man.
And night after night,
We pretend its all right,
But I have grown older,
And you have grown colder,
And nothing is very much fun, anymore.
And I can feel,
One of all my turns coming on.
I feel,
Cold as a razor blade,
Tight as a tourniquet,
Dry as a funeral drum.

[Virago]

1. Comfortably Numb

2. Shine on you Crazy Diamond

3. Learning to Fly

4. Echoes*

*
"Strangers passing in the street,
By chance two separate glances meet.
And I am you and what I see is me..."

[Darryboy]

Welcome to the machine is up there for me.
Try listening to it with a really loud subwoofer. Unreal.

[Shadows]

Sheep, or Pigs On The Wing, I can't remember which 'cause it all just melts together, but that whole Animals album is a masterpiece.

Fuck it. Its all good. I don't think there's a single album or track that really stands out from the rest, really.

Any way, thanks for that Gareth, I'm going to have to drag the old vinyl out now.

My missus is going to be so pissed off with you....

[Motu]

And um....hands up who hasn't had a screw while playing ''The Great Gig in the Sky?''

[inlinefour]

Dogs of War I allways enjoy and also Run like Hell.

[BurnCycle]

One Of These Days and Fearless off the Meddle album. :rockon:

[What?]

I think The Wall had one or two reasonable tracks, but mainly the album was a piece of Roger Waters' self-indulgent crap. And The Final Cut was even worse.
I really like the last two Floyd albums (plus the live ones, esp. Pulse), but Animals still rates best in my book. Favourite song? Probably Pigs (3 different ones).
But then Echoes was pretty good.
And Dogs.
And Us And Them.
Etcetera.

[APPLE]

Welcome to the machine''......Reason.....''TRIPPEEEE''

[Street Gerbil]

Coming Back To Life - Division Bell:first:
Dogs - Animals:second:

[SARGE]

Sheep, or Pigs On The Wing, I can't remember which 'cause it all just melts together, but that whole Animals album is a masterpiece.

Fuck it. Its all good. I don't think there's a single album or track that really stands out from the rest, really.

.

yea .. Animals was a great album.. Pigs, Dogs ...i killed many brain cells to that album..

Meddle was awesome also

[Dooly]

Shine on you crazy diamond, and Wish you were here.

[terbang]

Yup Motus got it..
"Great Gig In the Sky" & "Time" are my favourites.
Basicly anything Pink Floyd is really good. I hear it a lot around my home now, some 30 years later as my 15 Yo daughter, a Bass player, just cant get enough of anything written by Roger Waters who himself played Bass. I guess my signature says it all.

[ManDownUnder]

The Wall - for a really odd reason...

I always liked it - I play guitar (a little) and the riff in The Wall sounds GREAT turned up, dark room - big speakers... and you just bathe in the sound... wonderful.

Anyway - I was working at a Power Station (Stratford in case anyone wants to know), as a fitting apprentice and everything was turning and burning as it does through the winter. Nothing to do - so I whip over and help the techos.

Lesson one - here's a soldering iron, lesson two here's a capacitor... etc

One of the lessons was the Ocilloscope (the "Silly Scope")... and how does it work? Well the signal goes in here, appears on the screen as a mess then you twiddle these knobs, change this and that and voila - a nice clean line you can measure, watch and make it move.

The signal chosen? Mono headphones jack on the radio in the workshop.

The song playing? The Wall... and wouldn't ya know it... that riff kicked in while I watched it on screen.

SWEET!

(Also like Learning to Fly... but just coz it sounds good)

[Motu]

I haven't got any Floyd after The Wall,the later stuff couldn't hold my interest.I was very disapointed in Wish You Were Here when it came out,it seemed like it was just tossed together to get an album out because of the record company contract.Now it's one of my favorite albums....kinda like '80's music,I hated it at the time,but it's not so bad now.I've always liked Obscured By Clouds,not many seem to have it,but there is some great stuff on it.

[Dangerous Dane]

No one likes breathe? come on!

I've got DSOM, meddle, wish you were here and ummagumma on vinyl, love it.

[Kendog]

Brain damage. Sums me up well and reminds me of high school.
Shine on you Crazy Diamond. The full version. Just awesome.
Comfortably Numb. Great song for a funeral and awesome Gilmour guitar brilliance.
Mrs KD.

[DMNTD]

Comfortably Numb
Stoned Alone
Welcome to the Machine

....now if I could remember why I'd tell y'all:doobey:

[Boosted]

On the turning away :) mmmm always loved that song... love how ya dads pass on great music like that onto their sons hehehe

[Matt Bleck]

Thats a hard one... "get your filthy hands off my desert", the jet fly past give me a hell of a fright when I heard it for the first time.

[PaddyFZ1]

Any Pink Floyd is good, turn it on, sit back, and relax into the haze:doobey: :doobey: :rockon:

[MikeyG]

1. Sorrow

2. Hey you

3. Learning to fly

4. On the turning away

5. One of my turns

Those are my favorites but I like pretty much all of their songs. I think I'll put them on now

[HDTboy]

The entire Animals album is awesome if you're a little bit "relaxed" I have it on my computer and love listening to it

[Skyryder]

Atom Heart Mother


Skyryder

[The_Dover]

Have a Cigar.

[froggyfrenchman]

I can not pick one track. Pink floyds albums are one big track and need to be heard in a constant stream. In saying that i cant even pick one album! its all so great

In saying that, i have been thrashing the hell out of my copies of Ummagumma and Delicate sound of thunder lately

[MisterD]

Shine on... and Grantchester Meadows, cos I used to go there and get drunk on cheap cider when I was 16...

[Cookie]

Comfortably Numb

But there are several among the lot you guys mentioned that could equal it on different days.

[ZorsT]

I can not pick one track. Pink floyds albums are one big track and need to be heard in a constant stream. In saying that i cant even pick one album! its all so great
I was just about to type something very similar.

People at school look at me VERY strange when they find out the hard^core bikie/metaler knows Floyd better than they do.

It would seem great minds do think alike:yes:

[spudchucka]

Hard to pick just one but "Wish you were here" and "On the turning away" come immediately to mind.

[Drunken Monkey]

Comfortably numb has a kick arse solo, but my favourite track is probably Young Lust.

[MD]

What an amazing group they were.
These spring to mind;
- Time
- One of these days
- Julia dream (oldie but don't know what album)
- There's no way out of here (oldie but " ")
I'm surprised how many liked The Wall. I think it was always made with the theatric angle in mind rather than the music. I remember the anticipation as a teenager waiting for that hyped up 'best yet' album to be released, only to be disappointed. First impressions were; oh shit they did a group effort with Gary Glitter, Abba, Bucks Fizz and Bay City Rollers.
Some great lyrics spread across all their works though. Always like this one in Animals, which to me described a lot of overweight bosses I've known over the years that smoked and drunk too much and got off on the 'I'm the big boss' powertip;

It's too late
to lose the weight
you used to think
you used to need
to throw around

[SlowHand]

Love em all. Each has a quality that I like about it.

Been getting into the solo works by both Dave and Roger. Different, but still kewl.

[Pathos]

Breathe, Time, Sheep, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Echoes, .... and everything else...

[Darkman]

"Wish you were here" and "Brick in the wall"

[NotaGoth]

Song - "Wish You Were Here"

Why? - If you knew me well enough, you would know why.

[diggydog]

I love pink floyd i've got,
wish you were here,
the final cut,
the divison bell,
the wall (double cd) ,
a collection of great dance songs,
pink floyd p.u.l.s.e ,
but the i remember having years ago (dark side of the moon) that was :rockon: great.:blip: :rockon:

[mart1]

Is there anybody out there, nice one to pick on an accoustic.
anything off the wall album.
What god wants, Roger waters.:doobey:

[Smokin]

Learning to fly closely followed by The turning away= races off to grab his CD's and upset the neighbors.

[yungatart]

It would seem great minds do think alike:yes:
....and fools seldom differ!!
We are mates with the guys/gals in Pink Floyd Experience. They are the only Floyd covers band in the world endorsed by Waters, if you get the chance, go see them. They are brilliant- awesome sound and light show and well worth it.

[Maha]

Comfortably Numb.............love Gilmours solo.............and lyric's
Just a little pin prick, there be no more ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
But you may feel a little sick.................:sick:

[SlowHand]

Please, don't sing it. I like that song.

:lol:

[Kendog]

Comfortably numb - great guitar solo

Learning to fly - first Floyd song I remember hearing

Does everyone know the PULSE DVD is due July 11th, that is one damn good concert.

[Virago]

......Does everyone know the PULSE DVD is due July 11th, that is one damn good concert.

Are they touring around NZ again in the near future?

They are pretty fantastic. We've been to see them four times, each time they just get bigger and better. The first time we saw them was at the 'DB' in Kaiti in Gisborne must be like 8 years ago or something and the only people who came to see them was our group of 8 people and a couple of drunk guys who had stumbled in from the main bar!! Was farkin funny, but they were bloody good even then! Would recommend everyone go see them if they get a chance, will probably be the closest thing to a Pink Floyd concert we'll get in NZ!
Mrs KD.

[yungatart]

Are they touring around NZ again in the near future?
As far as I know they are touring Oz later this year so prolly no NZ tour this year. They all have jobs outside of the band and take a few wks holiday to tour so unless their Oz tour falls over I doubt we'll see them this year.
hXc has been to all bar one of their concerts, wagged school at the age of 9 to be a roadie for them for the day, has been "kidnapped" on to the stage by their "nazi's", played drums and guitar with them while they have been setting up etc. They are really nice people and have been great role models and motivators for him.

[Slingshot]

Does everyone know the PULSE DVD is due July 11th, that is one damn good concert.

I'd be willing to bet you it won't be released on the 11th.

It was due for release last year and was then pushed out to December, then January...now July...yeah right.

I've got a shitty AVI copy of the concert but it just doesn't do it justice.

The Classic Albums - The making of the Dark Side is a bloody good DVD though.

[Slingshot]

Oh, and I've just heard a rummor that the Floyd has got back together. It sounds like Waters and Gilmour have sorted out their differences. Maybe it was Live8 that did it? Who know...but let's hope they tour again!

[John Banks]

Come on my friends, let's make for the hills... they say there's gold and I'm looking for thrills.

But really Have a Cigar.

From the Floyd web site, damn shame:

PINK FLOYD AND ROGER WATERS CATEGORICALLY DENY RUMOURS OF A PINK FLOYD TOUR.

Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright are joined by Roger Waters in categorically stating that there is no truth in the recent news reports about a Pink Floyd tour planned for this Autumn.

I'd be willing to bet you it won't be released on the 11th.

"Young Lust"

I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around?
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl
Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooh Babe set me free
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.

[T.W.R]

TV3 news tonight had a item on Rodger Waters rattling a few cages in Israel, Did a concert & in relation to the security wall being built, Waters made a statement the wall should come down :yes: appropriately after playing "Another brick in the wall PtII"

What she said. Pink Floyd Experience are just awesome - a rip off for sure but Extremely well done. Would not hesistate to take the whole family next time they are in town.

One song? where to start. Couldn't narrow it down to one.


How many of us have misquoted them in our signatures?

Seen them twice now with 2 different shows. The Wall was good but I preferred Dark Side of The Moon. What amazed me was the broad age group that attended & their addiction going by their T shirts they were wearing etc.

[avgas]

Hmmmm dont really know.
I love Us and Them, and Shine on You Crazy Diamond

[slowpoke]

NONE!!! I got force fed the shite by a fellow apprentice who who used to play it incessantly, ad nauseum, ad infinitum etc. Now every time I hear a PF song my guts clenches.....with any luck a moderator will feel the same way and ban this thread!
