pink floyd Animals.
I get the chills listening to that album. i think i'm going to put on Animals right now ;) Great Thread! |
All their shit is good! Personally I like Dark Side of the Moon and the Live at Pompeii is fucking awesome! I love Welcome to the Machine. :thumbsup
|
Great... now I'm ripping all my Floyd CDs to MP3.
hahaha.... |
On balance...has to be The Wall
Saw them live at Earls Court a few years back..second half of the show they did Dark Side of the Moon from start to finish..mindblowing.. |
The Final Cut...
one of their best... |
I think roger waters is the best song writter of all times.
The Wall is my favorite album, but I'll admit my favorite song is from dark side of the moon. Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone the song is over, thought i'd something more to say |
My favorite band ever. Just about every song is a masterpiece.
Saw them live, oh the lazer lights and flying pigs.... Don't think written words can describe them, would have to be a song; a Pink Floyd song of course! |
Anyone from Toronto reading this?
Back in around 1984, I went to the McLaughlin Planetarium in Toronto and saw "Laser Floyd"... An amazing laser light show in a planetarium, all done to the music of Pink Floyd. I wonder if they even still do this? |

Favorite Waters Album .. Amused to Death
"We watched the tragedy unfold We did as we were told We bought and sold It was the greatest show on earth But then it was over We ohhed and aahed We drove our racing cars We ate our last few jars of caviar And somewhere out there in the stars A keen-eyed look-out Spied a flickering light Our last hurrah And when they found our shadows Grouped around the TV sets They ran down every lead They repeated every test They checked out all the data on their lists And then the alien anthropologists Admitted they were still perplexed But on eliminating every other reason For our sad demise They logged the only explanation left This species has amused itself to death No tears to cry no feelings left This species has amused itself to death" Favorite Floyd Ambum.. Momentary Lapse of Reason "Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love? Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove? The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone One slip, and down the hole we fall It seems to take no time at all A momentary lapse of reason That binds a life for life A small regret, you will never forget, There'll be no sleep in here tonight " Great Thread Chris! |
Can't you see? It all makes "Perfect Sense"
" When you add it all up The tears and the marrowbone There's an ounce of gold And an ounce of pride in each ledger And the Germans killed the Jews And the Jews killed the Arabs And the Arabs killed the hostages And that is the news And is it any wonder That the monkey's confused He said Mama Mama The President's a fool Why do I have to keep reading These technical manuals And the joint chiefs of staff And the brokers on Wall Street said Don't make us laugh You're a smart kid Time is linear Memory is a stranger History is for fools Man is a tool in the hands Of the great God Almighty And they gave him command Of a nuclear submarine And sent him back in search of The Garden of Eden " |
Dark Side Of The Moon
Without A Dought. |
There is no Dark side of the moon really,
In fact, it's all dark :thumbsup |
I was an extra in any brick on the wall - Got a load of us to charge down the beach -
My best mate who kicked it last year had a real good 5 seconds of mug shot in the film - Me? Fuck all! |
Who is Pink Floyd?
J/K Dark Side Of The Moon was sweet! The Wall along with the movie was good as well! :thumbsup |
I think david gilmour is a puke ... i heard somewhere (ok forgive me if i heard incorrect info) that he actually hired songwriters to make "the division bell" sound like pink floyd ... the early stuff with syd barrett was cool and freaky, but lets face it, roger waters is the shit ... final cut, animals, all damn good shit ... and if you wanna hear some really cool shit, listen to jeff beck go apeshit on amused to death ... i forget the name of the song, but he does an amazing melodic solo on this song, "christ its freezing inside, the veteran cried, the hyena ... the meadow and the fog rolled in bottle of gin .. whatever i dont know the name of the song :)
eric clapton on pros and cons of hitchhiking is nice too ... and oh shit, i love in the movie the wall when whos his fuck ... god dammit. Geldof (bob?) .. hes screaming "youll just have to claw your way through this disguise!" ... i like that better than the original, and the extra tunes on the movie ... "kind old king george, wrote mother a note .... AND NO ONE SURVIVED FROM THE ROYAL FUSILIERS COMPANY C!" god dammit time to grab the CDs |

From the Roger Waters album The Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking:
"So I stood by the roadside The soles of my running shoes gripping the tarmac Like gunmetal magnets Fixed on the front of her Fassbinder face Was the kind of a smile That only a rather dull child could have drawn While attempting a graveyard in the moonlight" Those are some of my all-time fave lyrics, that mofo can write! |
"Have A Cigar" (Waters)
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far, fly high, You're never gonna die, You're gonna make it if you try; They're gonna love you. Well I've always had a deep respect, And I mean that most sincerely. The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh by the way, which one's Pink? And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, We call it Riding the Gravy Train. We're just knocked out. We heard about the sell out. You gotta get an album out. You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count. Everybody else is just green, Have you seen the chart? It's a helluva start, It could be made into a monster If we all pull together as a team. And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, We call it Riding the Gravy Train. --- well...I think the music makes the song ;-) |
Dark Side of the Moon :thumbsup

heres a small video clip i threw together of that part, and "kind old king george ... HEY! DOES ANYONE HAVE the video (the one that they released on mtv) "The Final Cut" ??? Is it available on any VHS or DVD? |
all floyd stuff is excellent, even "Bike" :-)
division bell kinda sucked imo, not to say that dave cant write a decent tune cause he can. ( he wrote wish you were here) but he just doesnt have as much personal material as waters ( his mum used to make him wear short shorts to school when all the other kids got to wear long pants :-) .. his dad died in a fucked up war defending some stupid bridge hopelessly, etc) Roger waters solo stuff is brilliant, when the wild blows, radio chaos, pros and cons, amused to death, flickering flame, etc are all worth buying. |
