Floyd is great. The Live 8 concert was great. I saw the Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour - you guessed it, it was great. It neder saw a concert that made a bigger impression on me than that one. Even without Waters.
My faves (cliche cliche):
Live At Pompeii
Dark Side Of The Moon
Wish You Were Here
On their high moments, they were very high. Spine chilling, very original, always high on emotion.

ah, Pink Floyd, the first prog band I liked...
- Piper at the Gates of Dawn **** Great example of British Psychedelia, fresh and funny.
- A Saucerful of Secrets **** A bit darker, but a great experimental album
- More *** Some nice tunes, nothing special
- Ummagumma ****˝ The live set is as good as Pink Floyd gets and ever will be! The studio disc has plenty of great moments...
- Atom Heart Mother ***** Superb symphonic accomplishment!
- Meddle **** Great record!
- Dark Side of the Moon ***˝ A bit overrated, but a classic nevertheless!
- Wish You Were Here ***˝ as above
- Animals ***** Dark prog masterpiece!
- The Wall **˝ Overrated!
- The Final Cut ***˝ Great personal Roger Waters album, full of emotion and anger.
- A Momentary Lapse of Reason
 The worst piece of uninspirering and boring material I've ever heard
- The Division Bell Not as bad a Momentary..., but close.
Yes pre 'Dark Side Pink Floyd' is what I prefer the most, and I also have a very hard time 'accepting' Piper rated lower than Momentary and Division Bell, but personal tastes differ, nothing I can do about it, but I find it very strange!
|
You would rate A Saucerful of Secrets over Dark Side and Wish You Were Here?! Hmmmmm, I wonder if that's only because of the success those records had....
|
Chill out! He can like Saucer Full of Secrets if he wants!

Nope, you're not the only one! I love TDB too, but it does contain what is possibly my least favorite Floyd song ever, Take It Back. The rest of the album is sublime...

 I love Floyd. If it wasn't for Floyd I wouldn't have gotten into prog so early. Floyd were one of the first prog bands I got into too at the age of 13. One of the first albums I bought was Atom Heart Mother.

Pink Floyd songs are an important part of my life's soundtrack. The first prog album I bought was Floyd's and I have liked them since although I think I may discern when sometimes they did some flaws - very few IMO, and be critical upon.
WYWH, The Wall and the duo AHM and Meddle are the best Floyd albums for me!

Dark Side was their most commercial album ever. If we judge by sales, greenday and Britney spears own every prog band. The early albums had the most creativity and inspiration.

1. WYWH
2. Animals
The rest kinds of pales in comparison, but DSOTM and The Wall held sway for a moment in time that can't be denied - commercial or not.
(IMHO)

I have Dark Side and Wish you were here, and if I'm in the mood I'll put one of them on. After those two, I felt like Waters went a bit too self-indulgent and Gilmour was forced to save the band. But I do like them.

You rated A momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell higher than Piper at the gates of Dawn? What the f**k is this? Sick joke! TDB and AMLOR come from that gloriously sh*te era when Dave Gilmour was dredging the barrel seeing exactly what sh*te he could produce and still make money (usually from gullible yanks who didn't know the difference anyway) using the Pinko Floyd franchise... sick tacky crap music, ages much worse than Piper... AMLOR is a 2nd rate 80s porno soundtrack with about 2 good ideas... The obligatary "hit single" was Learning to Fly, a god awful synth driven piece of 80s cack with a good video, so naturally to the new found materialistic earless Pink Floyd Franchise fan, this was good yeah? Remember P.U.L.S.E? 3 sad old men, a bunch of bemulleted session musicians and an excellent lazer show becuase the music was either flogging past glories or new and completely unlistenable sh*t of the worst nature? |
Are you implying something?
Good job rating the stuff, Winter Wine, although I don't agree with you on "Meddle", "Echoes" (what else?) being the only good song from the album.

Pink Floyd, an open discussion
How many copies of DSOTM has been sold? Recently Gilmour turned down a 150 MILLION!!!!!!! deal to do another tour. So your arguement is pretty crappy, especially the way he gives a lot of his dosh to charity
