So you think you can tell?

[Paul Pless]

Nobody puts just one Pink Floyd song on their playlists, right?

So, what's your favourite Pink Floyd album?

Mine's Wish You Were Here and then Dark Side of the Moon. . .




As an aside don't you think Norman Bernstein bears a passing resemblence to David Gilmour?

[P.I. Stazzer-Newt]

Seamus


Used to have a wolfhound cross who'd join in.

[P.I. Stazzer-Newt]

And, much as I like the "Several Species...." the other track just has to be Grantchester Meadows.

[skuthorp]

Dark Side of the Moon, one of the few 'popular' albums I ever bought. Generally not my sort of music.

[JimD]

I was quite a Floyd fan at the time. But memory lane is a place I rarely walk any more.

[Ted Hoppe]

From Wish you were here."And did they get you trade - Your heroes for ghosts?"

do you think Pink Floyds 30 to 40 year old albums have the same weight now? I find them dated for a man entering middle age . PF is a time and date centric. Once I was done being a moody teenager, I went back to roots of rock or modern progression based on this bone rock. As Don Hendley said in the Boys of summer... "You can never look back, never look back."

[Norman Bernstein]

If only I could sing and play like him.

Actually, he's got more hair than I do, these days

I might feel that way about the Wall, but I have no problem at all listening to this, sober or otherwise. . .

[Curtism]

Ted, you know Building the Perfect Beast album turns 30 around 2 years from now? I hear what you're saying though, sort of.

[Paul Pless]

Goddamn you make me feel old! Building the Perfect Beast was the first album I ever bought in Compact Disc format. I was thirteen. . .

[Curtism]

I have most all of Pink Floyds LP's and all of their CD's along with Roger Waters' solo works.

Meddle and Obscured by Clouds is in the shop carrosel at the moment, so those are old fav's.

Seamus is great, had a basenji that would yodel when he heard the song.

[Domesticated_Mr. Know It All]

"Dark Side Of The Moon" is the best Album ever made.
I also like "Division Bell"

[John Meachen]

Meddle would be top of my list,mostly because of Echoes.Dark Side of the Moon I find depressing.

[Stiletto]

I liked relics, probably because I discovered waterbeds and LSD around the same time and put them all together.

[purri]

Never to my taste. (or the genre for that matter)

[brad9798]

THE WALL was always the best of all time to me, IMO. I can still sing word-for-word the entire double-album.

[Cuyahoga Chuck]

I could tell but I lost it when I had a bout of dispepsia.

[pefjr]

The London Phil does Pink Floyd. They do a complete Album, this is just Time

[Flying Orca]

Dark Side of the Moon takes first place for me; it blew my head open when I first encountered it at age ten. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is a particular favourite as well, featuring some astounding moments of creative guitar work from Barrett (the Siamese cat noises in "Lucifer Sam" are a standout). Musically I love The Division Bell, though it kind of proves that "Pink Floyd" in the later years of the term's currency became more about a certain sound (one that could be produced by a corporation) than a certain group of musicians. As for The Wall... well, I still appreciate it musically, and I find Gilmour's contributions have aged relatively well, but Waters and his angst appealed more to me at twelve or fourteen than they do now.
