Just wondered how many others here love Pink Floyd?

Hello, hello, hello... is there anybody out there?

love no, enjoy yes.

Major Tom?...........

"One of these days Im going to cut you into little pieces.."

I live on the dark side of the moon..

echo......echo.....echo... off THE WALL

The only line in that whole song and it's only sang once!

"That space cadet glow"

That's David Bowie

Said that once to my brother when we were young(song was on)and he was like WTF,are you nuts? lol

That's David Bowie

Yep Major Tom was Bowie, Pink Floyd was Money and the Wall Amongst other hits.

Comfortably Numb is my favorite. the guitar solo at the end never gets old.

Pink Floyd and Dale Earnhardt's last hit was the wall

"All you touch, and all you see, is all your life will ever be"

i enjoy their music. i saw them in late 80's and they were spectacular. i also went and saw The Pink Floyd Experience at a small venue last year and it was really good. they matched the album music note for note, albeit with a lot more musicians. i would highly recommend them for any floyd fan and will see them anytime they come around.

Animals is one of the most underrated albums of all time.

I like "The Division Bell" album the most.

I've been a fan since the late '70s when I was in High school.
David Gilmore is one of my favorite guitar players.
I really enjoy the live in Pompeii concert. You can watch it on youtube.

I love watching David Gilmour play his guitar.

No love, but I like them a lot.

My favorite too.

"....Don't give me that do goody good bullschit."

My son just a minute ago;



The other morning our conversation revolved around the question of Roger Waters vs David Gilmore.

Samuel says Gilmore I love em both...

If they catch you in the backseat trying to pick her locks, they're gonna send you back to mother in a cardboard box.
You better run.

Yup. Saw the Floyd live in Venice in 1989. They played on a floating stage right outside our room at the Danieli Hotel. We hung out with Dutch TV and partied with Duran Duran and ....

The concert / experience of a lifetime!

I was a fan of The Wall in college. That wore off. I was never a fan of their other works.

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

I do. I saw them in concert, I believe it was June, 1973 at Saratoga Performing Arts Center. I'll never forget that concert. Excellent!

Most of them dead, the rest of them dying...

The Final Cut tells a hell of a story

Dumbass, that's me.

right here,like to kick back in the room and put one of their concerts on the tv.

^ yes

Mother (Waters)

Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?

I LOVE Pink Floyd.

He's cool.

I always loved this line from Wish You Were Here,
"we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl... year after year"

"By the way, which one's Pink?"

Recorded "The Wall" on cassette off late night radio.
I didn't care for it, but a kid I was working with wanted it so bad he offered to trade me a badly Bubbed Siamese Mauser for that cassette.
Head space was so bad in that gun that you could actually hear the cartridge rattle if you shook the rifle back and forth.
Laid it between a couple of straw bales and fired it with a string from a safe place, no problems. I sold it to Shapels Gun Shop over in Boise, for parts. IIRC he gave me $60 for it, and 3/4 box of Norma 7.7.

So yes, Pink Floyd brings a good memory for me.

He was the hippest character in Mayberry.

Yes and Gilmour's solo stuff is also great.

Live in Gdasnk is really good......

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a leading role in a cage?


This is like the final exam of our character, I think!

Saw them in Vancouver BC with a girlfriend for their Division Bell tour.


So I open my door to my enemies
And I ask could we wipe the slate clean
But they tell me to please go fu.ck myself
You know you just can't win.

My favorite. On Friday/Saturday nights, college days, we would turn off the lights, a bit tweaked of mind, light a candle on the coffee table and pound my pretty substantial stereo system to The Wall front to back and this song was my favorite. Remarkable album.

Crazy movie the wall.

Saw Floyd at RFK in DC around 1990. Jesus was in the row ahead of us smoking some great weed. Seriously he looked just like the pictures of Jesus.

Good times, at least the times I can remember. Spent an evening and night and morning with my girlfriend and her roommate "listening" to the movie on VHS from the bedroom.

Yes those were great times...

There it is Sam. That's the quick of it.

From ~6:15 on. Stand back and dig the funk.

Well, I can tell you this. If it's the middle of the night in a parking lot at a Grateful Dead concert in Wisconsin where thousands upon thousands of fellow miscreants are camping, and you just sucked down a big balloon of medical grade nitrous and are utterly blazed, and there's a Pink Floyd live bootleg playing on somebody's boom box (this is the 80's) and it's a cassette and it's insane, they are just going APESHÏT and it's all very psychedelic........... and then the tape ends suddenly...... and at that moment the whole WORLD ends because Pink Floyd going apeshît was the whole world, and it's a legitimate question whether you just died, or what the hell......

So yes, I'm a fan of Pink Floyd.

All of us are big Pink Floyd fans. I used to put little Mooseboy to sleep listening to Echos. KYHillCHick barely knew them when she first showed up. She's completely hooked.

Angus? The Ball Family Reunion is held down on the KY/TN line every year. The Ball Brothers used to be big down that way. The reunion used to be about getting those old guys on stage and playing, but they have all died off now, and the younger generation is more Rock-oriented than Bluegrass. Last year at the reunion, Angus did his Bluegrass thing at the formal reunion, and then was asked by some of the band to visit a rock gig being held at another local venue. Angus showed up with his guitar and was invited up on the stage to play.

He was asked what he wanted to play. Wish You Were Here segued to Sweet Home Alabama.

Most nights I go to sleep with Angus downstairs playing Pink Floyd on his Strat.

take all your overgrown infants away somewhere
and build them a home a little place of their own
the fletcher memorial
home for incurable tyrants and kings
and they can appear to themselves every day
on closed circuit t.v.
to make sure they're still real
it's the only connection they feel
"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome reagan and haig
mr. begin and friend mrs. thatcher and paisley
mr. brezhnev and party
the ghost of mccarthy
the memories of nixon
and now adding colour a group of anonymous latin
american meat packing glitterati"
did they expect us to treat them with any respect
they can polish their medals and sharpen their
smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while
boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead
safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye
with their favourite toys
they'll be good girls and boys
in the fletcher memorial home for colonial
wasters of life and limb
is everyone in?
are you having a nice time?
now the final solution can be applied

The fact that Waters was always trying to make political statements drove Gilmour nuts.

I like Dark side of the moon. The other stuff, not so much.

None of them. Syd Barrett, one of the original band members, thought up the name at the spur of the moment. Barrett had the blues records of 2 musicians in his collection: PINK Anderson and FLOYD Council, and the name is derived from them.

Your Pink Floyd Anecdote of the day.


When in Artillery school we got to the barracks and guys were putting stuff into wall lockers.

One of the guys grabs something left on the shelf and says, "Who wants this CD?"

The guy next to him says, "Who's Pink Floyd?"

Next guy asks, "What's a CD?"

True story. Fort Sill, OK. 1986.

Favorite anthem I lived by

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.

Pink Floyd sucks.

Classic Rock at its finest.

Pink Floyd is at the top of my list of musicians.

A CD of "The Wall" stays in my truck and gets frequent play.

Ed

"Welcome my son, welcome to the machine"

Yup.

Who the f.ck is Pink Floyd??

You know Guy Lombardo??

Gilmour owns a lot of warbirds, P-51, Spitfire, etc.

He did good with his money, buying up history like that.

A favorite from my 1st PF album owned:

I don't know why I call him Gerald. He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.

The Sid Barrett days were a different time and a different band. Pink Floyd that most know would not exist without the rest of the guys watching Sid lose the plot.

My wife and I saw Roger Waters perform The Wall a few years back in Austin. It was about as close as a 38 year could come to seeing Floyd live.

Samuel is correct! :-)

How is it humanly possible to confuse the two?

The correct question is, by the way, which one's Pink?

If you are a Floyd fan; check out the Australian Pink Floyd tribute band if they are in town. They are the real(almost) deal.

I've seen Brit Floyd on a few TV specials and I think they do a great job!

Don't be a gay!

Better living through chemistry?

It's a lyric from Have a Cigar, genius.

I like to fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.


Great album & under appreciated. David Gimour "Live in Gdańsk" is another favourite.

Check out the album "Dud Side of the Moon" by Easy Star All-Stars for a little twist on an old fave.

Count me in, one of my favorites!

Can you dig this . . .

Two gays!!! Wow! There's one in the spot light he don't look right to me.

Two gays? What are you, 5?

I see what you did there...

Should have used "queer" in keeping with the tune though, don't you think?

Pink Floyd is the most overrated band in history, I think their music ain't that great. I am told you have to be high to appreciate it. I wouldn't know.

Yeah, queers shoulda got the nod.

Can't believe how much sails over heads around here sometimes.

This guy is still my favorite.

With your head up your azz, as is typical, I don't expect you could appreciate their music.

CC aint too bright.

from wiki:

"Pink Floyd were an English rock band formed in London. They achieved international acclaim with their progressive and psychedelic music. Distinguished by their use of philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, extended compositions and elaborate live shows, they are one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in the history of popular music."

'overrated' LOL

Who let all this riff raff into the room?

If I remember correctly, when the Berlin wall fell the band approached Roger Waters about doing the Wall concert there, but Waters wanted nothing to do with it.
A friend of mine saw them in concert in Germany when she was in the USArmy and when they played the song "Be Careful With That Axe Eugene" they "beheaded" a girl on stage, all a prop of course, but she said with the light affects it looked incredibly real, she did tell me she was under the influence of something at the concert also

They generally are placed in the top five rock bands of all time with a number of lists placing them third right behind the Beatles and Rolling Stones.

Isn't this a pic of Jimi Hendrix with Bob marley's name attached?

IMNSHO - Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest musical works of all time. But we'll have to see how well it's appreciated in another 100-200 years.

Bingo!

I'd say that they were a little successful... 14 years on the charts for one album!

Yes it is!

Time will tell. Very few albums have topped the charts as long as DSOTM. Years ago I was fortunate enough to hear Alan Parsons' original discrete 4 channel mix of the album. Quite amazing! That discrete 4 channel mix was only released on 8 track tape (in small numbers) in the UK, until it was finally "officially" released in the 2011 re-issue of the album. More info here:

Can't make none of this schidt up...

Is that a gay pride organization?

I think it would have been awesome had they combined The Wall part 1, The Happiest Days of our Lives, The Wall part 2, and The Wall Part 3 into one song. That would be an epic jam!
