Pink Floyd Rules?
I've actually felt better about Pink Floyd. After listening to a lot of their songs on radio, I've developed a liking to them. I still some of their songs are crap, but "comfertabally numb" "another brick in the wall, pt 1, 2, and 3", "Money", "Hey You" and other songs are very good. They're pretty good, let them pass.

My brother hates Pink Floyd, but a lot of my friends like them. Some user (Bart247) suggested once I listen to the Dark Side Of The Moon. All I've heard is Money, but that's a good song. I will put these guys on my "Master's Of Rock" series, and expect to see more episodes in the future.

I'd thought I'd post this up to tell you my changed opinions on Pink Floyd. Although they might not be the best band ever, they're one of the best. I have The Wall album already, but maybe I'll look forward to listening to them more.

^^^ any good?

how could it be anything but good dude.

IT RULES THAT'S WHAT

Whoever did these trance remixes does know jack-shit about Pink Floyd. Floyd is perfect. There's no need to tamper with it. I really feel sorry for everybody who bought any of these CDs. I'm sure there are plenty of legit bands to invest you money into. Do any of you REALLY listen to these so called "remixes"?? Or have you bought these just because it's (remotely) related to Floyd. Here's another question to the people who bought the trance remixes: Do you have all the legit Floyd on CD? If any of you don't, well then complete your REAL floyd collections first. Ficticious Sports, Music From the Body, Wet Dream, Obscured By Clouds, Profiles, More: all of these are 1000000 time better than any of the trance remixes and they are REAL floyd products. How about the Solo Barrett?

excellent

ILX underrates THE WALL

Been a bit obsessed with OBC recently, I have a Spanish vinyl coming, there are translations on the label "Wots... Uh El Negocio"

Me too. (The obsession, not the Spanish vinyl. But that's a great translation)

I doubtless muttered it upthread somewhere but OBC as an alternate path-not-taken for Floyd I do love. It's like what if after Meddle they settled into being something closer to a groovy good time band.

...if your idea of a good time involves hallucinating groups of New Guinean mudmen

I doubtless muttered it upthread somewhere but OBC as an alternate path-not-taken for Floyd I do love. It's like what if after Meddle they settled into being something closer to a groovy good time band.

And I fit that description!

Looking back at this thread, it seems like we never discussed the Dark Side of the Moon animation contest which ran last year. Playlist of all the winning videos here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMgma_7zFus

They're all great, except for the one for Any Colour You Like which is AI-generated slop. The winning video for Brain Damage is superb.

I have so many books on them and I'm such a sucker for things like this, it does look great though -

https://www.floydstuff.com/product/19293152/pink-floyd-1967-regular-edition-book

12 year old me would have flipped out and sold a kidney (or something less drastic)
i still want to buy it for them kinda but dang that’s a wad of cash for a book about a thing i already know too much about.

maresn3st what is your favorite book about pink floyd (who r u l e)

Thanks for the heads-up about these Dark Side videos, so far Speak to Me is awesome and Any Colour You Like is boring (if accidentally innaresting in a conceptual sense -- here we are in the dreaming-machine age that Floyd sang so much about, and AI is kind of a way of accessing any color or image or visual we like; but apparently the person responsible didn't put much thought into it, and just entered an AI video for every song)

maresn3st what is your favorite book about pink floyd (who r u l e)

I'm also interested -- only read one, and it wasn't up to much

The only Floyd bio I've read is Pigs Might Fly by Mark Blake, which I thought was excellent.

I feel like there's only one decently substantial book (that I'm aware of) concerning the band's whole history, and that would be Mark Blake's, as anagram says.

I saw the other day that Blake has another Floyd book coming out in the autumn too, an oral history this time!

Most of the rest that I own are large format books concerned with details like concert chronologies/eyewitness accounts, radio shows, song by song breakdowns, sleeve art and design, 'Pink Floyd in 100 objects', 'Pink Floyd in North America', and so on...

The older biogs like 'Saucerful of Secrets' or Andy Mabbet's book (forget the name) are not all that rewarding really.

Nick Mason's book is decent, but polite, as you might expect.

The various Syd books I've read do a good job of covering his era; I can't recall if there's one that's very much better than the others.

Bill Kopp wrote an academic book about the transitional period post-Syd, 'Reinventing Pink Floyd', which deals mostly with the music from that era, and was pretty interesting. It came out around the same time as the Early Years box set, which may have been intentional.

So perhaps hold out for Mark Blake's new one that's coming up, or read 'Pigs Might Fly'

If you ever see a large format book called 'All The Songs', and it's cheap enough, then consider picking it up.

From the cover, it looks like one of those hashed-together things that you find in cheapy bookstores, but it's actually a really well done, song-by-song anthology.

ty!

Yes thanks Mare, sounds great!

The Mason book is "polite" I guess but isn't exactly devoid of conflict or insight, or insight into conflict. For years Bricks in the Wall by Karl Dallas was the title that turned up most often, but as you can guess from the title he sees their whole career as ramping up to a peak in 1979 and he's sketchy on a lot of the events that led to that era.

The Mason book is "polite"

Who'd've thought it?

It's funny; as much as I enjoy their music, the idea of reading a book about Pink Floyd holds zero appeal for me. I don't even know if I've read more than two or three articles about them, ever. I've absorbed tons of lore by osmosis, but they're just one of those bands whose work exists beautifully for me without any larger factual context. (New Order is another. Don't ever need to read an interview with any of them to enjoy their work.)

(fwiw mark blake's 'pigs might fly' is [of course] titled 'comfortably numb' in america)

omg ty i thought i was losing my mind the other day

The various Syd books I've read do a good job of covering his era; I can't recall if there's one that's very much better than the others.

it is easily Gian Palacios’s Dark Globe (disclosure: we’re old pals), but that one is probably a little much for the casual fans, it is really for the cult of Syd. This exceprt from a review on goodreads should give you an idea:

Every student who has been living in a community knows that, sooner or later, food will start disappearing. Stanhope Gardens was no exception to that and Rick Wright used to keep his morning cornflakes inside a locked cupboard, fearing that Roger Waters would otherwise steal his beloved morning cereals. The mystery has lingered on for over 4 decades but Julian Palacios has finally discovered who really nicked Wright's breakfast: not Roger Waters but a boarder named Peter Kuttner.

unless you want recording session dates and info like that, then Random Precision is the one

if you’re not so obsessed, maybe just read the Chapman

his first book about Syd (he’s written 2) was very influenced by Jonathon Greene’s Days In the Life and places Syd at the center of the orbit of the UFO club scene, which it chronicles in detail.

The only PF bio i remember reading is Saucerful of Secrets. Reinventing PF sounds very promising and that is their most interesting period IMO. But maybe i’ve moved on to other things.

*Julian’s first book, i mean

Rick Wright used to keep his morning cornflakes inside a locked cupboard

Now imagining a Pink Floyd that has a gigantic hit with "It Would Be So Nice", putting Wright firmly in the creative driver's seat, confidently continuing to write many, many set of lyrics about breakfast. We see the last fading remnants of this possible Pink future at the end of Atom Heart Mother.

Aw man, a Floyd led by an inspired Wright woulda been something!!

Fortunately the excellent Sonic Catering Band picked up the thread right where PF left off and have now spent decades expanding upon the ending of Atom Heart Mother

A whole album of Wright's 'tum te tum...cup of tea, oh bum I'm late for a date with that pushy girl whatshername again', West London ennui would have been total catnip for me.

I love all his tunes, and still feel that he's responsible for the most psychedelic moments of the early days.

'tum te tum...cup of tea, oh bum I'm late for a date with that pushy girl whatshername again', West London ennui

OTM

Nicholas Schnaffner's Saucerful of Secrets was published in 1991, and made a big splash in the boomer rock?Musician magazine milieu; maybe it didn't have much of footprint in the UK, as Schnaffner was american, but I remember it being everything a Floyd person could possibly want in a rock bio… don't think it was ever updated, as Schnaffner died in the early 90s…
