It's still a mess, Chrome or not. Surely you can clean that up Scott.

I am going to get the Discovery Box set at Christmas. I prefer it over the DSOTM box set as how many versions do we need of one album, tho the booklets are awesome.

Now new "super ultimate editions" are being released of PF's best albums, for example I hear that DSOTM comes with (apart from the ultra-remastered studio album) a live version, some demo version, reproductions of memorabilia, whatever...
I'm having enough of re-re-re-mastered versions, as much as I love PF (or many other classic bands) I prefer to spend my money in music I do not know yet, for these records I will do with the normal editions I have already, sorry.
Maybe one of the reasons is that my stereo is 20 years old, it was a really good one in its time, but I don't think I will notice so much difference in hearing the latest ultra-remastered versions compared to the ones I own already.

True, but he also said that it's the only Floyd track that he likes

RIO for Waters' lyrics and Avant for Interstellar Overdrive, Zeuhl for Atom Heart Mother. They didn't do Krautrock because Krautrock did Pink Floyd

So has any one or is any one running out to get the re-released versions of their albums?
Also, on Live With Jimmy Fallon he has all of his guest musicians this week performing covers of Pink Floyd songs. Follow this link to an article about the Foo Fighters performing In The Flesh with Roger Waters singing vocals, and also Jimmy's interview of Roger Waters. http://www.spin.com/articles/foo-fighters-cover-pink-floyd-roger-waters?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=092911

Although I have a very sizeable record collection - The Floyd remain a very special band indeed. I realise that what I am about to say will annoy many and many will also agree,
Dark side of the moon is for me the only album I would want to be left on a desert island with - it is for me the greatest album ever recorded. Now I say this because the record (the songs contained) and all the emotion and memories I have invested in it. There are far too many people who try to be clever by cricticising this album and picking (delibrately in my opinion) obscure albums as the greatest and dismissing what they consider to be mainstreem as being irrelevent and in some way lesser in some way. Give it up if you love albums like Dark side admit and equally if you don't that is of course fine too, but only criticise albums of genuinely don't like it!
Sorry rant over.....

My mind was opened to unusual sounds by Interstellar Overdrive. I acquired an interest over classical music thanks to Atom Heart Mother. I'm still hypnotized each time I watch Pink Floyd at Pompeii. I kissed my first girl with The Great Gig in The Sky as background. I cried when I saw them together at the Live 8. Yesterday I have listened to Broken China. Echoes is still my favorite song ever. The last concert I've been to was Australian Pink Floyd (excellent). I played in a Pink Floyd (poor) cover band. About the Waters/Gilmour thing? Comfortably Numb must be played by Gilmour and Money by Waters. My favorite Floyds were Barrett and Wright, anyway. Last but not least....Fictitious Sports is a great album. |

Momentary could be more a Gilmour album but a good album anyway.... Division bell is a very very good album, just imagine a mix between it and Amused to death and every thing is said......

Maybe. For some people. It still has nothing to do with the date for me, it's still their weakest. |

No, it has to do with the dates in a lot of cases, and I said "groups like this.." meaning groups that have a long dated catalogue. ie Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, KC, ELP, Rush....even the beloved Dream Theater. I really do not think AMLoR is weak at all....I think it has excellent songs on it, but it is no WYWH or Animals or Division Bell.
I enjoy pretty much all of Pink Floyd....but I do have a hard time with A Saucerful of Krapp...damn I mean Secrets...my bad! Edited by Catcher10 - July 15 2011 at 19:30 |

I do like Momentary Lapse quiet a bit... but I like more The Division Bell, for me it's just about perfect and beautiful, just about as good (though somewhat different) as their 70's masterpieces. Besides Division Bell, my favourite Floyd albums are Wish you Were Here, Animals, and Live at Pompeii, then Dark Side, then The Wall... though ofcourse, they have many gems of songs in most of their albums. Including some of their solo efforts.

Who is Pink Floyd?
Seriously, they were one of the gateway bands for me getting into progressive music, and good music in general. But I have not been in the mood for them in years..... Look at my last.fm, they are in my top 15 most played artists, but I couldnt tell you the last time I listened to them aside from the occasional song. |

I tend to like Momentary Lapse and Division Bell better than their earlier psych albums which have always sounded dated and never really impressed me. I'm more of a fan of the Dark Side of the Moon through The Wall era. There is obviously some good music from Piper through Obscured by Clouds but there has always been something about those albums that has never really fully grasped me. Don't interpret this as me disliking those albums, it is just that I've never really been hooked by them.
