Pink Floyd's A Saucer Full of Secrets

i find this album amazing, its just so...... amazing. its not like the more known pink floyd. its improvozational psycodelic.

i love this band and everything they make.

and i dont agree with people who think the wall had no plot at all. because it did.

so what do you think of this album, or the band?

 

I like A Saucerful Of Secrets, especially "Let There Be More Light" and "Jugband Blues," but it doesn't compare to The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

 

i have been looking for that album for a long time, i have the vinal record, but it is so old and delicate i dare not attempt to use it.


so i keep going, looking for it. knowing that one day soon, i shall find a music shop with it.

it shall be mine some day soon.

 

Haha, it's funny that you have a vinyl copy of The Piper..., which is really rare, but you can't find a CD copy, which is pretty common. Heh, how ironic.

 

its kinda god's way of laughing at me.

but i'll get him back, when i become the pope i shall demand a copy of it in CD :H

 

Saucer was great, so was Piper, but I ripped Live at Pompeii and that's about the only I can remotely listen to anymore. They were my favorite band since I was in the crib (really, my parents put headphones on me and floyd was insta-calm-fulmah) and I've just heard them too much. Always makes me happy to see others discovering them, especially the older stuff

 

my parents were like that, exept instead of an album, i got to watch the wall at the age of 5. :X



that really fucked me up in the head

 

its not their best album by anymeans, but its not their worst either. It has its moments. Personally I rather listen to the live incarnations of the title track and Set the Controls. best track is probably Let There Be More Light. worst: See Saw.

 

It's great that Pink Floyd is being enjoyed by so many folks today! I started listening to them when I was 17! Love 'em! Went to a concert in Atlanta only to find out it was sold out(things were different then.You could usually buy tickets at the door!)We hung out by the side doors listening.Someone from inside pushed the door open & we ran like crazy to get in! Cops ran after us blowing their whistles,we mingled into the masses & got to listen to Dark Side of the Moon,all for FREE! It was fantastic! Bless whoever that was that shoved that door open! That auditorium,near GSU,is no longer there.I saw the Dead there,good memories! All Things Must Pass:George Harrison

 

AAAAAH i just don't get tired of saying that Pink Floyd is my favourite band, ever! weeeeee I have all their albums ^^
Saucerful of Secret rullez...
BTW, ANYONE HERE HAS THE LIVE AT POMPEII DVD?? YOU DON'T, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING READING THIS SENTENCE? GO BUY THE FUCKING DVD!!!!

You'll be like... and then dead from a heart attack... :S

 

That's so cool! I'd do anything to watch Pink Floyd live... :S specially for free ^^

 

who the hell would say the wall had no plot?
If a rock album ever had a plot it was The Wall.


pipers my fav i've got half a dozen different copies of it.

 

Don't forget about the originals: Tommy and Quadrophenia.

 

I hated the movie THe Wall, that took 2 hours from me i'll never see again. Remember what Dylan said "lost time is not found again". I really like Jugband Blues, unitl it gets al the weird noises. It'd be much better as a solo quiet guitar song.

 

I agree with you. The weird noises just don't fit Syd, if you ask me.

 

and Jesus Christ Superstar.

 

They actually quite do, a link between insanity and creativity, the brass band actually playing something was Norman Smith's idea, them playing random stuff was what Syd wanted, they couldn't agree on which to do and Syd just walked out of the studio in frustration, so both were put in as a compromise.

 

& S.F. Sorrow! the True first rock opera

 

I almost bought that the other day...

Lou Reed's Berlin came before The Wall as well.

 

Its pretty good, though not my fav Pretty Things era ( I prefer there earliest beat boom material).

btw on the new live version they did a few years ago, david gilmour played some of guitar with them!
