Members humbuckerstrat Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 I like the early Floyd the best: Piper at the Gates of Dawn Saucerful of Secrets Ummagumma Meddle and some of the stuff on Relics. My favourite songs: Astronomy Domine, Careful with that Axe Eugene, Arnold Layne, Lucifer Sam, Interstellar Overdrive, Echoes, Set the Controls to the Heart of the Sun, Julia Dream. Syd Barrett was a complete genious, but once he faded from their music (he was in it for a long time after he left), they declined for me. Dark Side of the Moon is great, and Animals is good, but DSOTM is like Led Zeppelin IV - get's a bit too much exposure compared to their other stuff. I can't really stand The Wall or anything after that... however, I like some of Gilmour's most recent stuff. I thought Ummagumma was their freakiest album. My drug-addled friends and I really got into it in the early '70s. It really freaked me out, especially songs like The Narrow Way, Parts 1, 2 and 3. Or maybe it was called The Grand Vizier's Garden Party? My favorite album of the Floyd's pre-DSOTM is the soundtrack to the movie More, there are some beautiful songs on there, and some hard rockers. I wonder if that damn movie even really exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Oldskool Texas Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 The Truth is, we can LOVE Pink Floyd, listen to them every day if we want, and STILL have enough room to listen to alot of the other things we like. Point taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scuzzo Posted June 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 one lp i think that gets very little love is Division Bell.. being that its Richard Wrights, thanks for the correction last recording with them i just like to listen to the panio lines and stuff.. High Hopes.. that 6 note intro on piano is the kinda stuff that cuts the wheat from the pop chaff.. just simple melody but so strong.. and the of time of the Bell.. dang.. music for grownups.. mho.

Members tinypants Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 This may sound like heresy, but I'd place the Wall at bottom of my list. Here they are in order based off the ones I actually own. 1. Animals2. Momentary Lapse of Reason3. Dark Side of the Moon4.Wish you Were Here5. The Wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tinypants Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Probably my least favorite Roger-era PF album as well. The good songs are really freaking good though Exactly, Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb are among my all time favorite songs. But it's not enough to counterbalance the quality of the remaining material filling up the 2 cd's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cBc Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 FF to min 4.04 for the really great stuff If you ever saw the early Floyd play Echoes live, you'd dig the "late mid atonal" parts They'd slowly fill the auditorium w/ smoke, and by the time the synth squeals start, the audience felt like they were lost in some prehistoric valley, with animal sounds coming at you from all sides of the venue in the fog. Pretty {censored}in' trippy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
