It just never hit the right button for me - I was all about Slade, T-Rex, Bowie, Alice Cooper when I was young. That and PF got played to death on FM and every keger/party that I went to. At least the bands I was in didn't want to play any
It's cool, I'm the odd one here.

I'm guessing it's the lost Pink Floyd album cover...

Thats a fantastic concept for an album cover!

I get that. 20 fn' albums and the same 3 songs overkilled by radio. As deeply as I am involved with Pink Floyd I despise anything titled Pink Floyd that doesnt include anybody but Roger Waters. I hate The Wall and The Final Cut, Im kind of glad court proceeding dragged out over a decade of what could possibly have been more of Roger's "Pink Floyd". One original member does not define an entire band.

Umm same here. I’d much rather spin some Dead Kennedys!
BTW @ProgressiveDoom I put on headphones & listened the two tracks on your website. Pretty damn heavy - straight outta Winnipeg! I like it!

If I were to go again - I'd seriously question returning to the States, the basses were wonderful, Paris was life changing.

I’m seriously questioning returning to the States!

Just discovered a notice that came in this afternoon(I was at a concert band rehearsal). 7ender is discontinuing their MIM line. To me it's a BFD.<sarcastically> Our program includes the William Tell Overture and MJs "Billy Jean". Sumpin' fer ev'ryone.

You and I are definitely cut from the same cloth musically. Although I do love PF'S Wish You Were Here album. Everything after the Animals album is just okay in my book. I am definitely more in the Glam/Trash rock world than anything else.

I would be hard pressed to leave that red TII behind, God it it GORGEOUS!!! drool

Paris life changing? It was those damn snails, should have had the eclair, you'd still be there

 

[Christine]

Forgive me, but I'm a little lost as to what sorta commentary yer lookin' for from me. As far as I can tell... it's just another schmuck doin' his part to keep the cost of vintage gear high. Either that, or (depending on yer perspective) it's just another a-hole trying to sell a nickel's worth of plastic for 6 hunnerd bux. Either way... I'm not impressed

Whynahell ya eyeballin' vintage L5 parts? You got sup'm you need to tell us?

Where is Kat when you need her? She'd have a field day with that!

When I was younger I was the same, exactly, it was only in my 30s that I began to like Pink Floyd, I love them now but only the later stuff, Darkside being the borderline starting point for me, Division Bell being the highpoint. Wendy on the other hand hates them and won't let me listen to them

 

[RedVee]

My fave PF album is Wish you were here. I do like Division Bell a lot though.

One original member does not define an entire band.

I think much the same way, his attitude was bad and to be fair I think he accepts that now. We went to see the Wall in Manchester a few years ago, Wendy fully expected to hate it and I was too probably with my dislike for Waters but it was the best gig either of us has ever been to.

Second hand paint too!

I like a lot of PF stuff, I dislike Watters personally but like his contributions (as well as the other band members contributions) when the whole band was together.

A lot of the early albums are hit and miss with me. Pipers has a couple of good songs as do some of the other pre DSOM albums, but for me DSOM, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall were all life changing albums in my very formative social and musical years (early to late teens). Any one of those three albums were a listening experience for me. Rarely did I play one or two tracks of them, I'd almost always play them front to back. I can't say that about many other bands albums at the time. When Division Bell came out in the 1990's it was like a flashback to the seventies and although not quite as moving as the earlier stuff it was very true to the 1970's album formula with a good flow from beginning to end. It was the final chapter in the PF saga for me. The David Gilmour "On an Island" album was pretty Floydesque also, but quite a bit more laid back than most of the PF works.

All in all, PF was probably in the top three of my favorite bands to listen to in the 1970's. Beat the snot out of what my girl friends at the time always wanted to hear - Abba, The BeeGees, Neil Sadaka and Rod Stewart (a trip to the dentist would be more enjoyable).

The Syd Barret stuff is pretty oddball wacko stuff but I think experiencing it through psychedelics was the formula that it was intended for, it certainly worked that way for me. Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour of 1994 was single handedly the greatest concert experience of my life. 3 of the original 4 with some top notch additional musicians and the beautiful eye and ear candy witch are the soul section/backup vocalistsdrooldrooldrool

Was awsome to see Larry, hes the man!

It was great to see you as well and you and your boys killed it! Seeing how I've been to 3 of your shows now,(Diesel, Machine Shop, Harpo's) I can say definitively that the show has gotten bigger and better!
