Pink Floyd
« on: May 16, 2003, 08:59 PM »
Is anyone else out there a huge fan of FLoyd?  I'm just sitting here surfing and the local rock station is playing the top 97 albums of all time.  The Wall came in at number 88 and I am more than a little apalled.  Granted, it's not hard rock as are the rest of the selections.  

I love Floyd and have all of their albums.  The Wall may well be my favorite album of all time.  Anyone else like me out there? :P

Yea, Pink Floyd rules, no doubt, but just for the record, Led Zeppelin owns Pink Floyd.  :-* Anyway, what's your favorite Pink Floyd song?

Comfortably Numb.  

Zeppelin is also very, very cool.  Another band that I own pretty much all the albums for.  Well, used to own the albums (and even a couple of 8 tracks) but now CDs.  We were all set to see Zeppelin in Minneapolis back in 1980 and then Bonham went and died.   :-[

Floyd, Zeppelin and Metallica dominate the drawer of cd's at work. :)

The last two vinyl albums I got rid of were the soundtrack to The Wall, that included two extra songs (The Day the Tigers Broke Free and one other, the title I cannot remember).  The first song has since been released on a Floyd disc, the latter has not.  The other disc was the more familiar version of the wall with the white bricks but it was a Japanese master disc, I believe I paid around $50 for.  Gave them both to a friend with similar appreciation for Floyd but greater love of vinyl.

I'm definitely a Floyd fan.  Saw them in Montreal in 1994.  It was amazing!

I really haven't listened to them that much in the past few years.  BUT, I am intrigued by the rumor that Roger Waters might be re-uniting with David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Richard Wright to go on tour.  Methinks they need the money.  Perhaps they invested too much in the dotcoms, and need to make some money back?

Dark Side is one of those discs you could listen to over and over again, I'm not as big into the Wall but it also is very good.  Me and my buddies used to go to a laser light show at the Minneapolis Planetarium of The Wall, very cool...

45 Wish You Were Here
10 Dark Side of the Moon
7  The Wall

Here's the top 25, if you care to debate (or not)
25 Siamese Dream         Smashing Pumpkins
24 My Own Prison           Creed
23 Silver Side Up             Nickelback
22 Beggars Banquet       Rolling Stones
21 Paranoid                     Black Sabbath
20 Dirt                             Alice In Chains
19 Picture Of Health        Headstones
18 Highway To Hell          AC/DC
17 Are You Experienced   Jimi Hendrix
16 Smash                         Offspring
15 Core                            Stone Temple Pilots
14 Road Apples                Tragically Hip
13 II                                 Led Zeppelin
12 Blood Sugar Sex Magik Red Hot Chili Peppers
11 Superunknown            Soundgarden
10 Dark Side Of The Moon  Pink Floyd
  9 Dookie                          Green Day
  8 Metallica                       Metallica
  7 The Wall                       Pink Floyd
  6 The Joshua Tree           U2
  5 Back In Black                AC/DC
  4 Up To Here                   Tragically Hip
  3 Ten                               Pearl Jam

  1 Nevermind                    Nirvana

The rest can be found here http://www.power97.com/station/power97_albums.cfm

I'm not that big a fan of Nirvana, but I guess after Rolling Stone went with it, everybody feels compelled to as well.

I like some of his music, but I can't say that I'm a fan of him.

Pink Floyd's great, one of my favorite bands. Favorite album? Used to be Dark Side of the Moon, now its shifted over to Animals. Gotta love Gilmours guitar on "Dogs". Favorite songs would be as follows:

"Any Colour You Like" and "Time" from Dark Side Of The Moon
"Sheep" and "Dogs" from Animals
"Comfortably Numb" and "Young Lust" from The Wall
"Wish You Were Here" from Wish You Were Here
"Seamus" and "Fearless" from Meddle

"One lost his friend, one lost his band and one lost his mind."

Great quote from an article I read about these guys.

Pink Floyd are simply amazing. They're not my all time favorite, but I have many, if not most of their albums. Not so keen on the Sid Barrett era, but that might be due the fact that I've not listened to much of it yet.
