Red Dwarf Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Any album that has the brilliant Echoes on it has to be up there with Floyd's best.Meddle is that album! Atom Heart Mother has the way-out splendour of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.Brilliant!And Syd Barrett-wrote Arnold Layne,one of the greatest psychedelic songs ever written! Genius!As much as I enjoy latter-day Floyd, the earlier years of the band were the best. My top five:1) Meddle2)Ummagumma3) Atom Heart Mother4)Dark Side of the Moon5)Pipers at the Gates of Dawn Honourable mention to Obscured by Clouds,and Wish You Were Here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 And for people that think David Gilmour isn't a good guitarist, listen to 4:30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4i8tzFbTAkI'm certain very few people even think that But they do say itWho? And how do they justify the opinion? It's about as credible as someone suggesting that Hendrix was derivative and unimaginative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbobby10 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 I might have to reconsider Ummagumma being so high up, the live songs are amazing, i like them more than they did in studio, but the studio songs are OK at most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 AMLOR was a basically a gilmour solo album. and awful at that. Division Bell was wonderful though Mick :smoke: Actually DivisionBell is probably my least favorite Floyd album. Think it's a ginormous pile of atom heart mother dung.

As far as the live cuts go they did much better elsewhere but it is important to have that as a document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbobby10 Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 I always wonder what could have been if they stayed together Im not sure if it would have been well, assuming Roger wanted to "lead" the band, and they didn't like that, it probably still would have gone downhill if they all stayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I always wonder what could have been if they stayed together Nope, not possible at the time. Dave would've ended up punching Roger or vice versa. It wasn't just disagreements in the end, it was bitter animosity. Roger needed to leave to do those solo albums. I'm just glad Dave and Nick decided to eventually carry on with Rick, so I could at least see 3/4ths of Pink Floyd together live. What would have been nice though is, after they somewhat reconciled with the Live 8 gig, they could have put aside their egos and recorded a new album or even just a couple new songs right at that moment. Even if they couldn't have toured afterwards. They each made some good music on their own, but both sides were always missing something without the other.

Bigbobby10 Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Obscured by Clouds gets no love from anyone, one of my favorites, super underrated.

Digital Dad Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) The Final Cut & Animals. I like my Floyd over-cooked & miserable. You said it. Me too. Mick Final Cut isn't one of my favorites but I do love it. I'll take it over no Waters Floyd these days. I used to love Lapse but aside from Sorrow, Yet Another Movie and Terminal Frost I never listen to it. From about mid-69 to pre-DSOTM there was no better live band.

Goes without saying. But it does have to be said as some of his playing puts me to sleep. That album features a few cuts of prime Gilmour. Even a few of the classic albums have become stale over time...too much radio exposure I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I fnd his solo albums more of the same. Not much variety and Division Bell is the first of those. There are hidden gems though no everything on the album is bad. Take It Back and Comng Back to Life are two songs in particular I cannot stand. Wearing the Inside Out is also bland as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbobby10 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 Been in another Pink Floyd mood, listening to mostly the albums before Obscured by Clouds.

custom55 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) For me Pink Floyd started with Ummagumma. In high school we had 'talent' day the last Friday of every month. I remember some dancer came out on the stage dancing to 'A Narrow Way,' light show and all. I was sitting in the audience and said, I need to find out who's playing that song. Been a fan ever since and haven't missed a tour, by the band or members of the band, that passed through NYC/NJ since 1973. Freshman year 1970. http://youtu.be/UKHnkOArJ4Y Edited March 29, 2016 by custom55 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
