I've been listening to this band big time lately. While they're not my favorite band and very far detached from the kind of music I usually listen to (with the exception of Deep Purple), I think they may be the best band, well, ever. I say this due to not only the outstanding quality of their music but also their versitility.

In particular, I've been listening to "Echoes", which I consider to be their best song, the more popular stuff (Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here), a few songs from the Syd Barrett era, and a few songs from The Final Cut, which makes The Wall look upbeat in comparison. Great stuff.

Any fans?

THE WALL is my favourite album of theirs.  But I haven't heard all of their albums.  The movie version of THE WALL is an outstanding film which everyone who likes their music must see.  Also, David Gilmour, the lead vocalist and best guitarist from Pink Floyd, has a new album out; it sounds wonderfully Floydian -- it IS Pink Floyd, and you should check it out if you haven't.

I will second this opinion with my utmost enthusiasm.  It's flat-out brilliant.

I've listened to The Wall several times and even got myself the guitar tablature book to follow along with the music. however, I've never sat through the movie. I think I taped it off HBO once or something. I have yet to see it. Looks like I better remedy that. Netflix, here I come.

I used to smoke a lot of pot and watch the wall, I think that's really the only way to watch it.


Ha! I don't doubt that smoking a lot of pot enhances the viewing experience however I'm going to disagree about that being the only way to watch The Wall. There's a narrative there but it's almost entirely rooted within the music. I think that's part of the brilliance of the film.

On a side note, I've heard of a rumor recently that Pink Floyd's "Echoes" sinks up with the last chapter of 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'm going to have to look into this.

I'd imagine that a lot of Pink Floyd music could synch up with that final chapter from 2001.  

My first true Floydian experience was in 1995, when I was fourteen and my band class saw Lazer Floyd in Edmonton.  I wish I could re-live that experience at least once a week.

I like all the classics, like: The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You were Here.
Animals is also a good album. I used to have the Pink Floyd box set and there was some great obscure stuff in that. I once saw a Pink Floyd doco called Live in Pompeii, it showed the guys, off their faces, playing improv in an empty coliseum. There was also an interview with Roger Waters and he appeared to be under the influence of heroin, he kept nodding off during the interview. It was a weird but interesting film. I tell ya what, I'd love to see someone make a movie about the early days of Pink Floyd, starting in say the late 60's and ending when Roger Waters left the band.

Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest albums ever. I also love Wish You Were Here and The Wall of course. Welcome to the Machine is my favorite Floyd song.

I finally watched The Wall the other day. I also found it to be a fantastic movie exemplifying that which films are supposed to do best: tell a story visually. The music is played like a soundtrack and less like a musical. I understood the entire story about the main character and even the resolution at the end, but I did have one beef.

This is one of those annoying ambiguous ending movies. Rather than give the audience a clear picture of what happened to our hero once the wall came down, it left the ending open to kids picking up bottles. It failed to satisfactorily resolve whether he came out of his slump (though we can assume it), what happened with his wife, or anything else. I understand the point of ending it this way, but part of me questions the ability of a writer who leaves an ending open like this. Feels to me like they're trying to please everyone. After all, if you had a happy ending, the "realistic" ending people would gripe. If you give it a sad ending, the happy ending people would gripe. So make it ambiguous, so happy people can make it happy, "realistic" people can make it sad, and only the people who prefer the clear cut ending will gripe.

Oh well. I still hold that it was quite good, but it could have used an ending of some kind.

I'm a long time Floyd fan.  Feel free and enjoy these songs:

From the "Pipers at the Gates of Dawn" album. Syd Barrett's LUCIFER SAM, hypnotic bass line.

From the "Saucerful Of Secrets" album.  David Gilmour's first song with the band, CORPORAL CLEGG, dig the fire engine siren in the background, screeching guitars.

From the "Animals" album.  Water's PIGS ON THE WING, melodically simply and precious.

I didnt know pink floyd did a version of rising sun? But then again a lot of people cover that song, the animals is my favorite version and the worse is that u2 greenday version, The saints go marching in or something.

The other day on Gold FM, I heard that Naomi Watts' mother used to be the tour manager for Pink Floyd and that the manic laughing on The Dark Side of The Moon is her dad. No wonder she ended up in a David Lynch movie! LOL.

Interesting that this was bumped up today, because Richard Wright died.  I've never actually been a big Pink Floyd fan but I respect what they brought to classic rock and rock and roll.


Be excellent to each other

65 is a pretty good innings for a 70s rock star. That's about 85 for a normal person.  RIP Richard.
