Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread

I prefer Momentary Lapse actually.

I adore Gilmore and Richard even more so but honestly what I love the most of this album is the artwork (don't shoot me pls), this album is more 80's Duran Duran inclined to me. Ok don't shoot me, instead hug me pretty please?  Please?     Also I get a lot of slack when I mention that Roger Walters aged better than Gilmour (which was quite the opposite when they were a tad younger, but who cares anyway they both still look damn hot except Roger aged better)   Unfortunately his voice did not . Gilmour sings way better on recent releases.

Forget it.

I actually thought Roger looks a little these days like an aging Richard Gere (or did a couple of years back)lol!

At least the lucky bugger still has his hair, something I'm slowly losing a battle with!

Definately Gilmour's voice has held up better than Roger's, even on `Amused To Death', as much as I love the album, his voice was pretty croaky in a few spots! It still had a ton of character, though.

What I would love to see released is Wright's last album, which I read he was working in before he passed away. Now, I have absolutley no idea in which state it was left, but if only he had recorded his keyboards, perhaps some vocals by himself, and little else... it could have been picked up by Gilmour and finished as the last Pink Floyd album. Imagine if even Waters would be involved in it. Of course, it is just a dream.

Yes, Broken China was Wright's last album, and I did find it very enjoyable. As a matter of fact, I remember reading about Gilmour stating that he found it to be a shame that Wright hadn't written the song "Breakthrough" when The Division Bell was recorded, for he would have wanted to use it in it. However, Gilmour did perform Breakthrough on his own semi-acoustic live DVD "David Gilmour on Concert", with Wright as a special guest on vocals... I must say I liked Gilmour's version much more... it's just the way the song would have sounded if it had been recorded by Pink Floyd, with Gilmour's guitar, and the sax, etc.

On the other hand, Roger is suposed to be close to releasing a solo album already (of course, he's been close to releasing a new album since early 2000's). I don't know anything about Gilmour wanting to record again, and I don't think he would like to trouble himself with doing so.

Rick Wright was indeed working on an album that was to be completely instrumental but after the On an Island tour him and David started to work together to see what they could come up with.
Don't know if you've seen this interview


Sadly, it wasn't to be, but now it's rumoured that Gilmour is actually recording. Weather he'll release anything are still to be seen though.

This sounds a tiny bit more promising than what I had read back then.
