Love pink floyd but....

Hate the people who claim to be fan yet never heard anything outside thewall and darkside....

theres alot of thos fans here on this forum and its a shame bcus pf have other amazing albums...

 

I always just recommend Hawkwind to people who claim to be Pink floyd fans. Sometimes the spacier Ayreon albums too. And Ozric tentacles. Then they don't have use for obscure Pink floyd stuff anymore

 

I fucking love ozric tenagles!!

I was blasting it at wotk today! The coincidence that u mention them...

 

Remember a day before today , a day when you were young..

 

I love pink floyd!!!

 

From my favorite Floyd album..

A Saucerful of Secrets.

 

No doubt, but I remember a time when I claimed to be a Pink Floyd, Led-Zeppelin, Sabbath fan when I only knew their radio tunes. Everybody has to start somewhere.

These are some good tunes from the Syd era, my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMkLKlHz6lQ"]Early Pink Floyd / "Lucy Leave" and "King Bee" RARE ! - YouTube

 

I feel the same frustration as the OP a bit when people claim to be sabbath fans when they mainly know Paranoid... a song I almost can't enjoy anymore because it is the only Sabbath song played everywhere it gets lame. Just got overplayed. Of course I'm an obvious Sabbath fan so when it's on people throw me the horns and proclaim how much they dig them when this song gets played once again in a bar, party etc.

 

Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh. She often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow. There is no other day, Let's try it another way, You'll lose your mind and play, Free games for may, See Emily play!

Classic Rock Hipsterism?

 

You can call it like that, thought there were Pink Floyd elitists before the term hipster was 'hip'

 

I love On the Turning Away and Learning to Fly from a Momentary Lapse of Reason.

Possibly their best songs (even though I've only heard five albums =P)

 

At least you DUG for more to truely know the band.....

 

My point exactly.....

 

Yes

 

For any uninitiated fans reading, there are four different Floyd eras: The psychedelic years, the exploring years, the Big Four albums, and the last thirty years. Feel free to try more than two albums from each

 

Or you could be really hardcore and listen to the entire collection from the beggining to the end!

 

i think liking pink floyd is in the hippy handbook.

 

I think elitists are almost the opposite of the hipsters. Like a Pink Floyd elitist swears that the soundtrack for More and the studio side of Ummagumma is their best work, a hipster just owns a Pink Floyd t-shirt and has only heard DSOTM and The Wall like JMT said.

 

Well I think the Syd Barret days were best. But I love all of their music!!
