Shall we discuss this super group's Albums ?
I grew up on PF, find them to be one of the most creative rock groups. Have their best albums on CD. I like Wish you were here, The Wall and DSOTM. Have any of you heard Roger Waters- Amused to death?
Raja : Have u listened to Floyd's "Obscured by Clouds" and "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" ?
I didn't get a chance to listen to "Amused to death" . What is ur review ?
Krishnan:
I have A momentary lapse of reason, learning to fly is an experience for me everytime I hear it, the guitar work is outstanding.
I have heard some of the tracks from Obscured by Clouds, sometime back. What are the songs from this album ?
Amused to Death, is the last album from RW -92. You have to hear the title track, very intense lyrics, generally puts you in a bad state of mind.
Have you heard RW's - not now john from final cut? does something to you when you hear it, especially the humming in between.
Got a chance to see the wall-the movie on VH1, didnt like it was quite vague. PF has also scored the soundtrack for Zabriskie Point-directed by an italian director- michaelangelo antonio (so I have heard, not seen the movie). Relics also has a great called julia's dream and paint box.
Cant stop raving.. Shall end here, ever wondered why british bands are so creative?
Raja : Nice to hear that u are also addicted to Pink Floyd. The film Zabriskie Point was based on a thriller by Alistair Maclean and was directed by Italian master director Antonioni.
What according to u is The Best of Pink Floyd albums ?
Have u listened to Led Zeppelin ?
Krishnan:
I like most of their albums, wish you were here, DSOTM, & The Wall maybe a shade over the other albums. What are your favourites?
I have heard Led Zep - have a cassette of their greatest hits.
Led Zep:
Stairway to Heaven, Battle of Evermore, Misty Mountain Hop, Black Dog, Whole lotta love..
These are grand. Stairway to Heaven is a different
trip altogether..:-)
Raja: I like their "The Wall" but I have told that their "A Momentart Lapse of Reason" is The Best.
Gokul :"Stairway to Heaven" is a great one.
I was introduced to PF by a friend of mine when I wanted to buy a good music system. DSOTM was what I used as my test CD :-). So I have listened to DSOTM many times over. Like the Money song very much. I also have the Wall CD (remastered).
Is PF british ? A friend of mine tells me his dad died in the Vietnam war or something and so PF is full of hate (listening to DSOTM and Wall I could tell PF is not necessarily positive type of singing). I still like their music (leaving the lyrics alone).
When people here in TFM forums talk about ARR as the recording guru and I ask them to compare him with PF it easily shuts them up :-) :-)
hi Pink Floyders,
ever wondered how the band got its name? from Pinkus Floydus, the biological name of the dinosaur.
all PFers should watch Pink Floyd-The Wall, the movie. directed by alan parker (who made mississippi burning) and starring bob geldof as the nervous wreck rock star, the movie is an experience in itself. u can see The Wall coming to life.
Cram:
As far as I know the name Pink Floyd is derived from 2 blues singers Pink ... and Floyd ... ( dont remember their last names. Hope you are not pulling a fast one :)
IMO the movie the wall didnt impact me as the album did.
What's DSOTM ?
Thanks
Hello, my name is SYD BARRETT !!
Sandeep:
DSOTM - Dark Side of the Moon
Hi Syd. When did you get out of your hibernation? What have you been upto lately?
I have been playing at the gates of dawn.
HI all,
I too am a fanatic of PF.....anyone has listened to Animals, Relics.....Too much thee these albums are. But my favorite is still Wish you were here....
PF and the conceptual music .....thats the uniqueness and so shall it remain.
yes viku,
wish you were here is my favourite too! fits together beautifully!
Hey thOdudaiyaseviyOn,
How did you ever know my name? Who is the mystic figure out there?
The actaul growth as far as the maturity and music of the band can be traced through their albums. Relics presents the picture of a childishly playful band, making psychedelic music. e.g. 'Careful with the axe Eugene' ( Btw an interesting point to be noted. Eugene was supposedly related to Jerry Garcia of the band Grateful Dead and while chopping the wood eugene cut a finger of Garcia. and hence the song.). As the band progressed, the album meddle shows a slightly mature band with poetic lyrics and starting of a conceptual music. The music to the film MORE is yet another scintillating proff for the poetic music that they had progressed to.
Out of the blue comes the album, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish you were Here. Both the album rely on total conceptual music and exquiste and meaningful verses. One can sense the already arrived nihilistic Waters.
The ultimate in concept, The Wall. By now, one could call this typical Pink Floyd after the conceptual albums right before. Ambititious and totally Waters' child, The Wall and the not so recognized Final Cut becmae the peaks of Pink Floyd's capability.
I certainly believe it was Waters who carried the band through, though they apparently never recorded together. Most of the lyrics and concepts was introduced only by Waters.
I guess the band broke up due to 'creative differences' as it is claimed, but does anyone know the true reason? The band break up semmed all too soon and unexpected. But both Waters and the now Pink Floyd have somewhat carried the flame along. But there is clearly a difference between PF with Waters and the PF now. I still prefer the old one to the new, but still the new PF is also pretty darn good.
Why is there no other band carrying the flame through? I mean just as Phish is carrying the flame of Grateful Dead, why is there no other band just like PF?
Roger Waters will be touring the US soon.
Meddle & Division Bell are excellent albums too.
Never liked DSOTM.
PG, looke likeyou have been hooked onto the first and the last of their albuns. Interesting. Continuity in their album took place only a few albums and those were about in the 70s. Especially Wish you were here.
Right now, I am listening to " A great Gig in the sky". I think it requires atleast some amount of praise from you, PG.
pg (if you see this;)): If you dint like DSOTM you probably dint catch the lyrics. I suggest you turn out the lights and listen to Time or Brain Damage or Us & Them or Eclipse. Div Bells has a nice cover.
I caught on to PF some time ago and dint like any of their tracks till I caught on to the wording. Those guys were worse than the Times Cryptic CW when it came to messages. I've been to a number of PF sites and most of them discuss the deepest implications and insinuations in the words rather than the music. Any body know of any such interestng sites.
BTW if it's any info to you guys there's a PinkFloyd.com mail id. Have you guys got one. It's free. mine's srinivasj@PinkFloyd.com. Not much of a GUI on it but a great mailid to distribute when you wish to show your Floydian loyalty ;).
I enjoy Aerosmith too. They are Brit too aren't they?
And why hasn't anybody had anything to say about this since June?
You guys are a bunch of dorks. I believe I heard someone saying they "don't like Dark Side Of the Moon" (is it too much
trouble to type the whole thing out?). Well, buddy, guess what, nobody GIVES a flying fuc*k, OK? Because it happens to be one of
the best studio albums ever made, produced incidentally by a certain Mr. Alon Parsons, who I'm sure you "don't like" as well.
And as for the person who said that "Pink Floyd" is derived from Latin for dinosaur, baby, I hope you were trying to be funny.
Pink Anderson and Floyd Council were two Georgia (or Carolina, there are two opinions) blues singers who were Syd
Barrett's inspiration. THAT'S how Pink Floyd. Pinkus Floydus.... sheesh!!

Thanks for a cute thread on PF! :-)
Do you guys know that there is a book called 'pink floyd - saman kulaikkum rock isai' written by a PF aficionado - A Shanmugam? It was published by Yali Prints / Madras. The book can do with a lot of improvements - but is a decent beginning, none the less!
Has anyone heard about David Palmer's 'Archestral Manouevres?' - this is a must listen for all PF fans and has a very haunting rendering (in sax?) of 'shine on you crazy diamond...' The album has been recorded by London Philaharmonic archestra and is very good.
Any one fascinated by the echoes of meddle??
__ramjee.

Hi
This is for Leah....
Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour) 5:17
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

"Occasionally I get these sort of out-of-body experiences when I'm on stage, standing in front of maybe 60,000 people. I look at myself, thinking, 'Good Lord, how on earth did this happen?'
One part of my brain is fully focused on performing, and the other part is somewhere
else, thinking, 'How extraordinary it is -- but how lucky I am!'" - DAVID GILMOUR
David gilmour is a perfect musician...FLOYD Band will be safe in his arms.
