Pink Floyd-Classic or dud

OMG really?? i can totally stick in the wall right now - in fact i think i will. hold on.

okay here we go. see i like this.

haha, is that empirical evidence or WHAT??

i love the synth nostalgia thing they go for with the slow numbers. nice sheen to it.

the thing about The Wall is that Roger was just trying to hard and no one was there to keep him in line. If he hadn't gone Andrew Lloyd Webber, it could have stood the test of time.

And I kind of realized that I still love "Comfortably Numb." Remarkably so.

comfortably numb was such a favorite of mine back when - i need to listen again

seems kinda sappy and heavy now, but i haven't listened in too long

mysogynist stadium blues work-outs

Is so so true. Those songs just suck more every year, and the weirdly filtered misogyny becomes more and more obvious.

Waters's bits = ugh. Gilmour's = holy hell. Eldritch's cover = amusing.

"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky!"
"Time to go!"
"Well, only about an hour of daylight left. We'd better get started."
"You! Yes you behind the bikesheds! Stand still, laddy!"
"What are you watching? Hello? Are you feeling OK?"

Other than those exceptions, classic all the way!

I never listen to those songs as Pink Floyd songs, but rather as songs that Pink's band would play.

PS WHAT INDIE ROCK HAS TO SAY ABOUT FLOYD IS ABOUT AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT A DOUBLE AA RELIEVER HAS TO SAY ABOUT NOLAN RYAN, THX

I haven't seen it in over ten years but I distinctly remember that version of "One of These Days" being a fucking monster.

green is the color
cymbaline
a pillow of winds
fearless
if
summer 68
fat old sun
the narrow way , pt.3
the gold its in the...

Biggest disparity between what I liked when I was 14 and what I like now from The Wall = that final track (The Trial?) which at the time was clever and cool and deep and now is all the bad things that people say about the Wall in general.

synths like that would play in my dreams

AT the start of Crazy Diamond? I think i read somewhere that it's fingers run along the edge of wine glasses dubbed over on top of themselves a zillion times rather than synths, which is both barmy and v. cool.

Ah well...I don't think Comstock will need to make an appearance on this thread...

Yeah, I was lucky enough to see this right around the time I got into the band, courtesy of the girl I was crazy over in high school being a big fan (when you're friends with an absolutely beautiful Italian immigrant, you can best damn well guess you start picking up on things she likes really quickly...). I need to finally get the DVD of this.

I could never call Atom Heart Mother too weird. The first track is like baroque classical rock and then you have Summer '68 and If, which is just good songwriting. Fat Old Sun and then all the found sound... I mean I guess listening to a guy talk about eating marmalade is weird but others have definitely trumped that in terms of the too weird status.

If, which is just good songwriting

Which is just shite shongwriting, shurely?

i guess you haven't heard "the division bell" or even worse, the live album after it (Pulse)
