Oh Jeanette!

How to decide!:shrug:

The second album I ever bought was Dark Side... just love it! But what a tough decision to make... lets see, maybe sort them in order with comments?...

Dark Side of the Moon - just the all round package!
Wish You Were Here - love playing a long to this one.
Animals - Yep. Helps me understand / deal with work...:P:lol:
Momentary Lapse of Reason - love learning to fly! (just an earthbound misfit, I)
Meddle - love Echoes and Seamus.
Atom Heart Mother - Fat Old Sun and If are my favs.
UmmaGumma - I miss this album. I had it on tape but haven't got it on CD yet.:sadeyes:
I have a lot of other albums as well. They are all good.

Animals..........
I've probably mentioned it before, in '94 I was staying within walking distance of the Battersea Power Station.
I was totally obsessed with it. Took so many photos, trying for just the right angle. I'll have to dig them out and post the best one.

I'm glad that in this iteration of this thread (I think previous music threads have also strayed to Floydville) that people are mentioning Animals.

Nothing tops it.

I have the Mind Over Matter: The Images of Pink Floyd book by Storm Thorgerson (the designer for a lot of Pink Floyd's album covers and art, as well as Led Zeppelin (think Houses of the Holy cover)), and it has some wonderful full page photographs of Battersea and the various bits of photographs and artwork in the liner notes/sleeve.

Wonderful reading whilst listening to the catalogue.

Hi JJJ & All,

Very difficult to pick one favourite, so many are brilliant but frequently in different ways because they evolved quite a lot between Piper and say, Wall.

What is my favourite changes. Astraltraveller will be able to tell you what it is this month -- he listens at Bargo from about 100m away at a safe volume.

But like several others here I'd probably vote for Animals in the end. Strong, cutting lyrics and message. The acoustic guitar is probably its strongest musical feature. Meddle is very, very close behind Animals -- One of these days and Echoes is probably Floyd at their most powerful.

I think the most under-rated album and no one has mentioned it yet is Obscured by Clouds -- after Meddle and before DSOTM -- sadly it is often forgotten but is an excellent work in its own Wright.

We should organise a Floyd star party -- I'd be a certain starter.

Neptune, Titan stars can frighten ...

Best,

Les D

I'm a bit shocked at the selections here. Much of the early work is from experiences of LSD drug hallucinations, along with the associated psychotic forms of madness - mostly though Syd Barrett, with the latter work more on the general rise of battle-weary Britain and rise of the desperately sad post-war dreams of its mostly downtrodden controlled people by government and conformity.

For me the best of Pink Floyd is the underlying story of Roger Waters and the affects that WWII had on him, the loss of his father, and his own future in the post-war blues of the modern world. This general theme stretches from Dark Side of the Moon to Momentary Lapse of Reason , whose culmination is The Wall and The Final Cut.

Probably the best song is When the Tiger Broke Free a terrifying account of the demise of Water's father near the end of the WWII. The lyrics of this still are chilling. I.e.

"It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black ’forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.
And the generals gave thanks
As the other ranks held back
The enemy tanks for a while.
And the anzio bridgehead
Was held for the price
Of a few hundred ordinary lives."

And its cutting concluding end; "And that's how the High Command took my daddy from me."

Overall I seriously do think that much of the music of Floyd is really confronting, often depression, and mostly forlorn, whose only true remarkable saving grace is the quality of the music and the incredible thoughtfulness of the implied lyrics.

If I were now to list my Top 5 Floyd tunes, it would be;

1. Wish You Were Here
2. When the Tigers Broke Free
3. Southampton Dock
4. Run Like Hell
5. Welcome to the Machine

(These five being in order on my iPod.)

I like the song Learning to Fly on the Album Momentary Lapse of Reason (but most of the purists think it is not a true Floyd album without Waters.), especially the lyrics;

"Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies,
Tongue-tied and twisted
Just an earth-bound misfit,
I"

Finally, the most moving is Vera on the The Wall album;

"Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day?
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else here
Feel the way I do?"

I still listen to Pink Floyd only occasionally in recent years, but much of the rebellion in me has moved on to less aggressive music tastes. Love Dark Side and Wish You Were Here, but the early instrumental stuff I've left well behind.

Anyway, that's what I think.

jjjnettie

06-04-2009, 06:53 AM

Wot's..Uh the Deal and a Pillow of Winds are the most beautiful love songs they composed.
Instrumentals...Love the funkiness of "Any Colour you Like" and that section of "Echoes" (just before the Whale song) both of which were an obvious influence on Peter Framptons guitar style.

Pink Floyd star party Les? I'M IN! :thumbsup: What a great idea - a themed party. Fabulous!

As far as my two albums - I'd have to say DSOTM and Animals. Sheer technical brilliance in an enlightened form. Both get the hairs on the back of my neck going just thinking about them.

Favourite song though? Hmm.. Comfortably Numb off The Wall. Waters' lyrics an observation of the pain he was suffering when he was jabbed by a doctor with a needle in Philadelphia prior to a show and added to by Dave Gilmours music. If not the best, one of the best guitar solos of all time.

Made me recall the word that comes to my mind when I listen to Floyd - "control" - they have it big time, even when they go for it flat out!

I only discovered Pink Floyd a little over a year ago when my partner enlightened me. I have only listened to a few so far (Meddle, animals, Dark side and some of the Wall). I love Dark side, the way it all fits together from start to finish is amazing..

My partner remarked last time we went observing that we should have had some Dark side playing - it would make for a serene observing experience. So I think a PF star party is a great idea :)

erick

06-04-2009, 01:59 PM

Very astute, your partner!

Yes, some quiet Floyd playing greatly enhances the observing experience!

06-04-2009, 02:45 PM

where to begin.. Been a big PF fan since I was 12..
my intro into PF was The Wall.. and I still reckon its one of the best (if not the _definitive_) concept albums of all time..

But any PF works up to where Waters left are brilliant.. (I even saw them in Sydney in 1988!! Unreal!).. the best I can do is probably my fav. 3 (complete) Albums..
1. Wish You Were Here
2. Dark Side Moon
3. The Wall

.. but the Pompeii concert is awesome too.. (man Wolfmuther ripped the look and feel off that one).. I love how its basically recorded live.. so you really do see them actually performing.. not just miming..

.. and lest not forget Roger Waters solo work.. IMHO lyrically as good as PF.. not as good musically .. but a must for any PF fans..

My favourite Track - Echoes (from Pompeii Movie)

If you can get your hands on it, somehow, get a copy of one of the concerts from the In The Flesh tour of 1978. I can't even begin to explain how awesome the music is; Dogs played live. :eyepop:

I used to be part of several online bootleg trading rings for Led Zeppelin concerts in the 90s (back when trading was done on Maxell Type II metal tapes and Kodak gold CD-Rs were just coming on the scene -- the purist collectors argued vehemently against MP3 trading -- and rightfully so).

Led Zeppelin were one of the most bootlegged bands of all time, followed closely by Pink Floyd. I have amassed a fair quantity of Led Zeppelin concerts and was thinking of joining the Pink Floyd trading circles but decided against it as it was driving me broke, being a poor university student and all. Nowadays, you can torrent the entire lot in one hit.

Anyway, once again, Animals is where it's at. The double-tracked guitar solo in Dogs and Sheep's outro, are well worth the price of admission alone.

It has to be "The Dark Side Of the Moon". I remember buying the cassette in 1974 during my first year of teaching in Canberra, I played it to death it my newly purchased Mazda RX2 Rotary, what a great combination. When I saw this thread I rummaged through all my old cassettes and record albums and sure enough there it was, the scuffed cassette case containing my much used and treasured TDSOTM. Well, I stuck it in my old cassette player and would you believe it, the cassette played flawlessly right through both sides. After 35 years who would have thought, maybe it's time to buy the CD and keep the old cassette as a keepsake. As a matter of fact I think this album was responsible for for me getting married in 1975 as I can remember many a night in the car playing it and you know the rest. Still happily married after all this time by the way.

I have attached some pics of the old PF cassette as a matter of interest.

I've only just joined this site but couldn't miss an opportunity to reflect on Floyd. They are my favourite band by some margin. I am surprised by the lack of support for wish you were here as favourite album or song. Wish you were here the song and comfortably numb oscillate in my mind as favourite singles. The cheeky Arnold Layne is an under rated classic.
Album wise I feel wish you were here is the most musically complete, dark side of the moon the most thought provoking and animals the most addictive in that i keep want to listening to it more than the others (usually). Meddle for me just has some flat spots but really took them from an interesting band, original, experimental and passionate to the masters of mood and conscience. Each return listen remains a joy.

07-04-2009, 01:44 AM

I have lots of Pink Floyd stuff that I almost forgotten I had. This mainly is with the Wish You Were Here album of 1975. One of the most interesting here is the 88 page music score and general book of the album, which has lots of pictures and some of the alternative ones they never used. I.e. The man on fire running off to have the flames extinguished, and the man diving into the .
I also still have the original postcard that came with the vinyl album and even the three stickers that are shaped like those on the old tourist suitcases.
One of the classics is the two long interviews made by Nick Sedgewick of Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour.

Waters is insane. For example, when asked about when he wrote "Shine On (You Crazy Diamond)", he said;

"...we'd just come of an American tour when I wrote that, and I have been exposed to the boogaloo..."

The interviewer interupts him an says;

"No Roger... you must have written it after the English tour, because "Have a Cigar" was included in "Shine On" during the American Tour in '75."

Waters then replies;

"Oh Yes! Right... I can't do that can I? This interview. My mind a scrambled egg, mate. I can't answer these questions. I'll have to go home and study some more. I'm going to have to think about this and that. God Peter (the Floyd publicist). I'm sorry. I wanted to do this interview. I wanted it to be good, coherent, friendly interview for the punters, but my my mind's scrambled.... no my mind's not scrambled, I just can't get my mind round all that &#@% nonsense!"
:lol:

This is where Waters was at in 1975. It is amazing they made "Wish You Were Here" at all!

Enchilada

07-04-2009, 03:58 AM

I have attached some scans of images for the reference in the earlier post.
These are alternative pics that might interest others that may not have seen them. (I notice the wiki version does not mention this gem of a book at all. Go see; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_(album)

1) The first was the alternative cover for Wish You Were Here, which is a bit of a giggle. (Didn't fit into the artwork I suppose.)
2) Shows the man in the Sahara sand, but instead of his face being blurred out, you can see his actual face. (this is on the two-sided paged album version)
3) Shows an alternative piece of plastic in the wind (the album versions are red and not white)
4) Shows the images of the alight man shaking hands with an "executive", but instead he is running away to be 'put out'. It was shot at the Warner Brothers Site in the U.S. The multi-sequence shows then whole event from the shaking hands to the fire extinguisher blocking out the whole image.

I should also comment that Remastered CD version of Wish You Were Here (Album) is infinitely better than the older one, which I bought in England in 2000 for a 'song'. :)

As for the title song, I've always been impressed with is the way "Have a Cigar", about the record industry, changes as if it were changing a radio station, where we catch to the introduction Wish You Were Here (song), which says ;

"...Disciplinary it remains mercifully."
(lady) "Yes, and then... Derek, this star nonsense."
(man ) "Yes, yes."
(lady) "Now which is it?"
(man) "I'm sure of it.""

(I still wonder what it actually means)
The station then changes again, leading into the song proper. Wish You Were here, then goes into the two separate guitars, as if they are speaking to one another. Just Brilliant. :thumbsup:

Another incidental thought is the quadraphonic version of "Dark Side of the Moon". When I was a kid one of my friends had such a system, and I vividly remember how startling the sound of the clocks were in the song 'Time'. Such quadraphonic record players probably don't exist anymore.
I wonder if there is some 5.1 surround version available?

A quadraphonic version of Wish You Were Here (album) exists, Never seen it, never heard of it!)

Note: There are several "Wish You Were Here (song)" songs. One I know of is by Incubus, which has the astronomical related lyrics;

"I dig my toes into the sand.
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket.
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless and in this moment i am happy.
I wish you were here"

(It also has the great line; "The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.", too.)

Another is Alice Cooper's version, on his concept album "(Alice Cooper) Goes to Hell" It too has the really great lyrics, where he is presumably in Hell;

"Can't get a ticket to get me home, dear
They just don't have too many fights
in the Twlilight zone, dear
So don't forget to feed my cats
Spot and Jerome, dear
...and I'm having a Hell of time, my dear
Wish you were here"

Pulse DVD is what you want - 100% of DSOTM and much more , live and in 5.1 Digital Surround :love: Looking pretty cheap in JB HiFi these days.

jjjnettie

07-04-2009, 09:16 AM

Also on the must have DVD list is the Classic Album series...
"Dark Side of the Moon"
and
"Meddle"

Watched them both last night. DSOTM interviews all the band members. Don't forget to watch the Extras that didn't make it to the TV show.
Meddle isn't all about that album, it makes references to just about all their earlier work.

merlin8r

07-04-2009, 10:38 AM

It's hard to pick an overall "favourite", as mine will change depending on my mood. BUT, in no particular order:
Meddle,
Dark Side of the Moon,
Wish You Were Here
Animals,
The Wall,
The Final Cut

....wait a second, there IS an order there! Can you see it?

On a side note, I started learning guitar around 2 years ago, and David Gilmour is kinda my mentor. His work takes on a whole new dimension when you try to play it! The first song I taught myself was Wish You Were Here.
Then my lovely wife bought me a Fender Stratocaster for Christmas. Now I belt through a pretty poor (but for me very satisfying) version of the solo from "Money". Tonnes of fun to play!

Got that DVD as well, loved the insight into the making of the album and development of the songs like 'On The Run'.
Listening again to 'Us and Them' & 'Great Gig in the Sky', Wright's piano on those tracks are so beautiful, fantastic talent.

Talking about all these albums has prompted me to upgrade those I only have on cassette.

While I was in the DVD section of JB HiFi, I came across
"Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii, the Directors Cut"
Only $9.99 :eyepop:

07-04-2009, 02:52 PM

Got it some time ago, for that price or close, as I recall! A good viewing!

ngcles

07-04-2009, 05:28 PM

Hi JJJ & All,

Hmmm ... didn't know therre was one of these on Meddle -- have to look out for it.

Only on cassette!! -- you poor deprived thing.

I bought the Director's Cut of Pompeii about 12-18 months ago at JB and it is one of my most watched DVDs. I feel ripped-off now -- I (happily) paid $24.99.

I can't remember where I heard/read it but apparently after the on-site shoot at Pompeii Adrien Maben (director) + crew arrived back in England, they discovered most of the film they shot was mysteriously missing. It has never been found

Quite a bit had to be re-shot in studio to cover that. When you watch Pt 1 and 2 of Echoes you will notice much of the vision is devoted to Nick Mason (drums) -- because they lost most of the rest (other angles) focusing on the others. Now I think of it, it may be mentioned in the interview with Adrien Maben which is one of the special features. This (live) version of Echoes I think is the best of all.

I can remember the first time I watched Pompeii -- it was in the winter of 1977 when I was 15 at the Kogarah Mecca. The old Mecca had a pretty hoopy sound-system and I think by the time we left my ears were bleeding.

After watching Saucerful you will also see why percussion instruments must have cringed in abject fear every time Roger came near them -- man, he flogs the living daylights out of the cymbals and gong. See that part here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONKBQJg7iVQ

Last Christmas my daughter gave me Nick Mason's book "Inside Out -- A Personal History of Pink Floyd" -- very, very interesting and candid (with lots of great inside pics) and while it tends to skirt around a one or two issues re "drug-use" (Sid, Rick in particular), it doesn't pull many other punches.

On the subject of learning a few Floyd tunes on guitar, Fat Old Sun (Atom Heart Mother) is not a bad place to start. I used to know it really well and the lead solo isn't very hard (in context) either.

My one and only electric is a Fender (HSS) Strat. Black body, white pick-guard maple fretboard -- just like the one played by David Gilmour on Pompeii (except his wasn't HSS of course -- Fender didn't make them then).

I wonder why I picked that one ...

Best,

Les D

07-04-2009, 09:56 PM

True?? :whistle:

Actually so can I. It was a few years before that when I was 16 (drat, I'm older than you) and it was on at the now-defunct Vista Theatre in Woonona. The owner obviously knew his audience and had, as the feature before the main movie, the 1930's 'comedy' classic 'Reefer Madness' (cries of 'where do you get it?' from the audience). A movie like Live at Pompeii was, of course, completely new to us (hey - Tommy wasn't even out then) and we were muchly impressed.

I had told my parents that we would catch the bus home afterwards but the buses didn't run at that time of night (despite the promises of the timetable), basically because there would be no one on them. So we walked the 4-5km home. I remember us walking 6 abreast along the highway, simply because we could! We were loud and talked a lot of rubbish but we harmed no one and felt as though we were in no danger. It's a different world now.

What an interesting question with even more interesting answers.

It is so hard to pick just one albumn as thay have all taken me on seperate journeys through life and to this day remind me vividly of different situations, emotions, firends and locales associated through my lifes journey so far.

Now, only having to pick one means I will choose the album that I can most relate to and that would be "The Wall".

This album was an absolute fav from 82 to 89 where it seemed to help me through emotionally charged years and lifes events and helped me make it out to the other side, intact.

Very relevent to life atm.

Pigs is definitely one of Roger Waters most venomous songs, directed at Mary Whitehouse and what she stood for in the bleak economic times of the mid to late 70's. Pity there isn't an as identifiable Mary Whitehouse character these days. Pity Roger probably doesn't know who Pauline Hanson is to write another directed song.

I love DSOTM on vinyl, CD and SA-CD.
