What Sucks about This Artist?: Pink Floyd

**Frownland** · 04-24-2018, 04:05 PM

I think that Saucerful is a lot better as well, but I recced DSOTM because Saucerful was made during the Syd Barrett era of Floyd. When Barrett left and they added Gilmour, they got their most well-known lineup and DSOTM is the best representative of the "classic Floyd sound" that they developed and built on with that lineup.

I would assume you know this classic, but then you chickened out of The Wall after a few tracks so maybe not. You need to hear this at least once in your life though.

Yeah I know that one pretty well. I probably know all their most famous songs off The Wall well enough. Probably also some form a couple other albums.

On Comfortably Numb: Some nice guitar playing here and there, but the song isn't really clicking with me. It's giving me Bryan Adams flashbacks.

That's not praise btw.

Pretty sure everyone on Earth has heard that song more times than they care to.

I love Pink Floyd, but their personalities are unbearable. It's hard to find a crew as unlikable, personality wise, as these guys. Furthermore, their discography tends to be very hit or miss. One more thing, they're great songs, but I am so sick of Comfortably Numb and Another Brick In The Wall Part 2.

I wanna do one of these for my favorite band, Weezer.

After the first album, both Gilmour and Waters (and also occasionally Wright) sang during their heyday, with Gilmour doing vocals on the majority of the songs in the late 60s/early 70s and Waters slowly taking over the band over the course of the 70s, to the point where he was singing nearly every song up through the early 80s. He sings the last two tracks on DSOTM. He's usually the singer who sounds more pained and angsty, while Gilmour usually sounds more low-key and melodic.

Mind blowing live version of Dogs after Pigs on the Wing I. Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall for the win.
