Dogs....From Animals.

Thats the one I tend to play the most, but there are many..

Welcome to the machine

A pillow of winds

I could go on, but I'd be here (at work) all night. Think I'll go home and play some Floyd

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Another vote for Echoes - although the version of Saucerful of Secrets on the "Live at Pompeii" video is astounding!

Oh - I see. This is just spam for another website.

Good topic though!

/edit - just felt like sticking in an appropriate graphic!

Indeed Certif1ed,

Let's just discuss it here.Wink

"Shine on you crazy diamond parts 1-100" for me.

(I look forward to the constructive debate Q&MOJO contribute to in the forum on other topics.)

Q&MOJO probably won't ever post here again because those two magazines are just examples of the commercialism of music today. Their reviews stink, their tastes stink, and they have a lot to say when money is concerned. BAH I utterly refuse to work for or with them! This only posts interest is on having collaberation on THEIR work, they are not interested in us.

Epic.

Oh.. its got to be "Comfortably Numb" for me... followed by 'SOYCD"..

Both guitar solos from CN should go down in history as the greatest guitar solos ever... I think I have about 12 versions of that song..  official and unofficial boots.  In an interview a few years ago, David Gilmour said: On May 14th, 1994, that his performance of CN was the best he's ever done.

I'm still looking for that boot !!

These rags consistently slaughter Prog music It's years since I last bought any of them.Yes they will feature Pink Floyd because they always seem to be acceptable and beyond their usual idiotic featured critics.They are the vanguards for mainstream rock and they should not be given time of day on this site or any prog sites.Their writers knowledge of Prog, the very best of rock is a disgrace.Honestly,these two mags cannot put Prog down enough.If murder was legal then everything to do with these two ....well I best stop here ...They should not be allowed on  here.As for the Floyd I like them alot and have more than a few favourites,but it's none of their business.What the hell these mags are the dregs! Well said jrkasperov

On a distant shore, miles from land
stands the ebony totem in ebony sand
a dream in a mist of gray...
on a far distant shore...
 
The pebble that stood alone
and driftwood lies half buried
warm shallow waters sweep shells
so the cockles shine...
 
A bare winding carcass, stark
shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way...
dry tears...
crisp flax squeaks tall reeds
make a circle of gray in a summer way, around man
stood on ground...
 
I'm trying
I'm trying to find you!
To find you
I'm living, I'm giving,
To find you, To find you,
I'm living, I'm living,
I'm trying, I'm giving

I don't know what you mean - "Several Species...." is a great track - amazingly inventive and total prog. I would have used the word "Especially..." instead of "Even..."

I've only seen three mentions for Small Species so far, but I'm
sure there's more to come....

Echoes, Dogs, Comfortably Numb currently in the lead....
