For me it's Cirrus Minor, as you could've expected...

 

I also love Julia Dream and Biding My Time (and every single one as well !)

I finally got my hands on "Dark Side" the other day, and my God its fantastic. I have never been so addicted to an album :wideeyed:

This addiction will never end : sometimes I forget Dark Side a bit, but there's always a moment when I feel like listening to it again, and then I'm addicted again...

I agree. My trouble is that I've listened so many times to all Floyd songs that each time I hear any new song from anyone, I see some kind of influence. When I listen to On The Run, it makes me believe that all Techno-House stuff wouldn't exist without Pink Floyd...

They definitely influenced many bands.

That solo on Money is just :wideeyed:

The one on P.U.L.S.E CD2 is wonderful as well.

 

Some time ago, I bought a (quite rare, I guess) CD titled Zabriskie Point Sessions, which features the unmixed takes of the recording sessions (December 1969) they made for Antonioni's movie, before he rejected the sketches. It's no fake, I swear, and there are great rarities, such as the piano sequence that inspired Wright in the making of Us And Them.

 

Would you like me to upload it ?

hmm you probably didn't ment me, but I'll say yes please, upload :)

 

I also had this face :wideeyed: yesterday when listening to Animals. Well it soon changed into this :wacky: especially Sheep, no words to describe that part..

That would be fantastic mate :)

Alright , I'm on it.

 

No surprise you like Sheep, Linnea, when i know you're a Muse fan. I think Sheep strongly influenced Muse. Don't you think it could be a Muse song ?

I'd love to hear Muse cover Sheep (that's something I've had on my mind for a long time)

 

And I did mean you, as well as any body in here !

the piper at the gates of dawn is my fav. of them.

You're right, Pink Floyd must have been a huge influence on Muse and I could definitely imagine Sheep being a Muse song. Oh my if they did a cover of the song one day... I'd literally pay almost anything to hear that. I can almost picture it already, especially the last 2-3 minutes of the song.

 

That said, if I had to pick a favourite Pink Floyd album right now, it'd be Animals. Of the ones I've heard so far that is.

For me it's Dark Side Of The Moon, first because it was at the time simply inimaginable (the first synthesiser ever heard on On The Run, the fact that each song segues into the next one), and then because all songs are purely great : none is the greatest Pink Floyd song for me, but they're all wonderful, there's no song on this album that I wanna skip.

Cheers for the upload mate. I agree with you about Dark Side, I love the way each track just melts into the next one.

 

I have to get Animals, as I haven't heard that one yet :embarassed:

It is a very special one, because Waters wrote and composed almost everything. All along the album he criticizes modern society using animal designs to speak of people, just as George Orwell in Animal Farm.

 

It sounds much darker than the former ones, and is quite agressive for the ears, like some kind of acid. (Well, that's what I think anyway)

Why did I never realize how great this band is???

 

My sister saved some songs by them on the PC.......I thought I should give them a try.....and woooow...I love it.....

 

shame on me....

Ah did you finally discovered Pink Floyd? Great! :D

It's never too late to find out about them :)

 

If you find some time, buy (or download :P ) "The Wall", listen to it and read this!

It's pretty stunning what they have put in one album :nice:

Yeah.......will do that!;)

 

My sister owns "Echoes".........and I downloaded "Dark side of the moon" a while ago.....never really listened to it....will give it a second chance....:D

Echoes is the best-of-album and in my opinion not really good - well, at least hardly as good as the regular albums of them!

Yeah I know that it's their best-of.....and I heard this several times that it is not that good......but better than nothing...:P

Dark Side Of The Moon is amazing Jules. I've been listening to pretty much nothing else but that lately..

Yeah......I'm going to listen to it again this evening when I am lying in bed....:D

 

hehe

 

I like some songs....but didn't really get into it yet...

Like I said earlier, the solo on Money is just :wideeyed:

About Echoes, try your best to avoid the versions of Echoes and Shine On You Crazy Diamond that you can find on it : they're shortened versions faaaaar below the Meddle (resp. Wish You Were Here) ones. Same thing for Marooned : the Best Of version is only one half of the Division Bell one (and not the best half IMO)

 

By the way, Echoes is the best song I've ever heard (rated 1st on my song list)
