No, I'm not into them--I love them! I've got Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here, and that 2-disc Echoes thing. I'm going to pick up The Wall this weekend. My favorite song by them is "Wish You Were Here". Pink Floyd's members all agree it's their best work. So do I!
Later, I'm going to get Meddle, cause it has ECHOES. Also, I'm going to get The Final Cut.

Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten
Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania
Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten
Blinding signs flap
Flicker, flicker, flicker blam, pow, pow
Stairway scare Dan dare who's there?
Lime and limpid green, the sounds around
The icy waters under
Lime and limpid green, the sounds around
The icy waters underground
Has anyone here listened to Dark Side of the Moon while watching the Wizard of Oz with the sound turned down on the movie? The synchronization between the songs and the movie is amazing.
Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.
I was at a party a couple of years ago where we watched the movie to Dark Side of the Moon. Among a lot of other parallels, The Great Gig in the Sky plays during the tornado, and at the moment when the film switches to color, the cash register starts on Money.

I saw/heard the first half of it. For some strange reason, my memories of Pink Floyd are never really clear.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Another Brick in the Wall/The Happiest Days of Our Lives is their best medley, and one of the greatest medleys ever, at that! It's on The Wall! Getting it today!
Heh, might as well call The Final Cut a Waters solo album!

Heh. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Anybody else like The Division Bell?! I think it's one of their best, really, and Marooned is as good an instrumental piece as any effort Pink Floyd made in their heyday, I'd venture to say.

Oh, trust me, I've tried to like that band, I really have. The problem is, I like Linken Park. I can't help it. I'm hopelessly addicted to queer music.
*Nervous laugh*:lol: Linkin Park over Dark Side Of The Moon . . . Well, I don't know--I sort of let myself go through the entire history of rock as I grew up. My first record was Elvis, then I jumped past the 60s and did some Queen, and then discovered Led Zeppelin, and then found The Beatles, and then Pink Floyd. Linken Park is not the path to Floyd, people! But you're young--god, let it just be a phase!!
By the way, there's about 8 or 10 *GREAT* songs on The Wall, but after some decision-making and soul-searching, I decided it wasn't my favorite album, but it's in the top 5. Anyway, Wish You Were Here is still my #1 album, then. I can listen to it all the way through, which is a rare gift for most albums.
