Pink Floyd

Your gonna get some bad responses, but since you're new no worries. :)

Floyd is awesome! I like Animals the most, but its all good. Waters/Gilmour was one hell of a combo. Man I wanted to go to live 8, that would have been sweet. As for they're stuff now, from what I've heard it's no floyd. In summary, they rock. :bassist:

Pink Floyd is pure genius if you ask me. If I could have been in any band, throughout time, I'd of been in Floyd, If only to get a glimpse into what made those albums. Syd Barrett was great. Though it is sad that Syd eventually no longer function properly in society, I believe that watching him break down made Roger Waters begin to question his own sanity, leading to one of the main elements of the Pink Floyd sound.
Richard Wright and Nick Mason are also both severly underrated.
Listen to DSOTM, WYWH, and Atom Heart Mother. Listen to them closely and then try to imagine them without the keyboards. Thin and Dead. Nick Mason was just as good as Bill Bruford and Cozy Powell and Aynsley Dunbar and any other English Drummer at the time. He just gets overlooked.

Also , one of my favorite album covers ever. Dunno why.

Atom Heart Mother is a great album.
Pink Floyd + Orcestra = Awsome

You do know the story behind the cow on the cover don't you? Pink Floyd at the time were moving away from psychedelic space rock and more into advant garde, so they asked Hipgnosis to pick/make the "Most Un-Floydian Cover Possible".

Some other favoritees of mine
A Saucerful of Secrets, Ummagumma, Meddle and Wish You Were Here

Funny , Though very un-floyd, it's very Floyd. :D nowadays at least. Although Psychedelic Breakfast doesn't really help make the difference.

The only Floyd studio album I don't own is The Division Bell. Worth getting?

listening to The Final Cut. Although, its more of a roger waters solo album, backed by floyd, its very good. Lots of emotion.

Floyd are my all time favourite band. Animals being my favourite album. I found a DVD at a record store the other day of floyd playing live in london, i think in 1968. This was original line up with syd, im going back to get it next week.

Anyone seen it?
