ah yes, pink floyd. a band that changed the face of rock forever. although they may have been stoned when writing most of thier music, it still sounds like heaven on your head when you listen to it. and besides, who hasn't caught themselves singing money when they are bored?
 i applod you pf. i applod you.

I agree with a lot of your choices (especially the Atom Heart Mother Suite)!

Right. They were not a drug-using band. Waters did Acid twice. The others drank, an occasional joint. Their classic '70s recordings are not the result of drugs. In the 80s Gilmour claims he was a coke fiend on the Lapse tour. And of course Syd, well, no time to get into that. |

It it hard to believe that nobody has appreciated Pink Floyd since May 2008.
I gave A Momentary Lapse of Reason its first spin in ages yesterday. I still really love that album. It saddens me how much it is disliked amongst Floyd fans.
Just thought I would attach a link to this news article about David Gilmour's son Charles. Apparently, he is a chip off the old brick in the wall. http://news.yahoo.com/pink-floyd-stars-son-charlie-gilmore-jailed-000814834.html

Actually, when I saw he was arrested, and seeing the sentence today, I would have thought that Polly Samson had had him by Waters, not Gilmour, who is about the quietest rock star who ever lived.

People can have a closed mind (and ears) with groups like this.......Anything past a certain date is considered "rubbish"......in my view that view is "rubbish"!

Apparently, Mum & Dave took him to a very expensive salon for a makeover to impress m'learned judge and, thus, avoid a sixteen month jail sentence. Better go back for a refund!

Gotta love and appreciate me all Pink Floyds work!
You know someone told me and I also work in the music industry that Pink Floyd has a huge wherehouse in Phx Arizona filled with all the stuff from the wall tour thats just been sitting there for yrs tour busses and all!
Whether true or not i'd like to think I could stumble upon that and take a walk inside someday! lol Much love for the FlOyD
Not to mention each artist has went on to do some great solo projects. Nice post and thanks for sharing. Tad

It has nothing to do with the date, it's the fact that it's the weakest PF album. Hi guys, Pink Floyd fanboy here. The band that got me into music as a whole. |

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.

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 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.

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 |

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

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......
