Saw The Wall for the first time

the best song on the whole 90minute album..

I adore the cover on the album, something about it. i have the album cover framed in one my rooms.

 

I agree but I thought for sure you would choose "Several Species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict" it would not have even surprised me if you did background vocals on that one.

 

when I was teen we'd call the radio station all the time and ask them to play that, just to be a dick... a few times they would get pissed "man that song sucks, its not even a song!!!"

 

Its not and it doesnt really work for me at all, its annoying. It may have influenced 'the hampster dance' tho.

 

I don't know how you could say that. Momentary lapse was most definitely not HORRIBLE, it was just really different. The guitar technique and lyrics were pretty incredible, but it was a completely different kind of Pink Floyd to get used to..
and so you're saying Division bell was HORRIBLE too? That album is amazing, and has a pretty huge positive following.
Plus I'm sorry, but to say Dark Side was "BY FAR" the best is quite a leap.
No album is BY FAR better hahaha
A lot of them are really close. Like animals, and I personally love obscured by clouds and atom heart mother.
Plus The Wall itself is a great album too, all of them made a huge impression on music.

 

Thats why when someone says 'THIS IS THE BEST PINK FLOYD ALBUM"
it just seems retarded. Every album has been a step in a different direction for them, they were always taking risks.
Its almost like every album is a different 'era' of the band.
Comparing ummagumma to, say, The Wall... thats just impossible. lol
I love their early stuff.. but I also love their late stuff as well, I honestly can't say I dislike ANY album for THAT reason (not the ONLY reason but, ya know), They knew how to take HUGE risks, and those risks took them somewhere.

 

I agree with this.
And they were growing as a band and as individuals as they wrote the music that they did. Each band has had a different impression on music, and every album of theirs contributed to their success.
its almost like each album that pink floyd came out with was a different 'era' of Pink Floyd.
A lot of the syd barret songs had the same sort of feel to them (although, most definitely not all, he was really out there wasn't he? lol), but once he was gone, the band totally strayed to every genre they felt like playing, any style, or on any subject they felt like writing about.
I admire that a lot, and I think each album has brought something into my life that was completely different from the last.
SO my favorite album is all of them. lol

 

It can be argued that Dark Side of The Moon was their best album for the same reason the Sgt. Peppers was the Beatles best. Not necessarily because of the music itself, but because of the way it was recorded. Both those albums completely changed the way musicians and studios recorded music.

They both undeniably changed the face of rock forever. They, Dark Side & Sgt. Pepper, were albums that other musicians listened too and marveled at and tried to emulate the style of recording.

As far as The Wall is concerned, good movie, but it is rather slow paced. I started to watch it tripping once and had to stop, it's just so Goddamn depressing.

 

agree 100%
some I like more than others but it's hard to choose over any of them. I have a different love for each album

 

"Piper..." changed a lot, too, to be honest. There's no way you can listen to it and say it didn't change music as much as "Sgt. Pepper..." did. I'm not talking about which is more popular here. (The promotion in the U.S. was horrible.) And I'm talking about the mono version, of course. The stereo sounds like a work-in-progress.
