i prefer water's voice to gilmours, and gilmours guitar playing is less than respectable. lets wail on the major scale for 45 minutes. thbbbt.

who cares what scales he plays on, if it sounds good. Is a guitarists job to play only the most technical solos as possible, last I knew his job was to sound good, and gilmour does just that remarkably.

I can't wait until the Pulse dvd is released. It's driving me nuts. For months they said that December 8th was the official release date, and then they went and changed it to sometime in Jan-Feb.

Here are my favorite Floyd albums...(I know, this is completely random)

1. Wish You Were Here
2. Dark Side of the Moon
3. Meddle
4. Piper at the Gates of Dawn
5. The Wall
6. Animals
7. Atom Heart Mother
8. The Divison Bell
9. The Final Cut
10. Obscurred By Clouds
11. Saucerful of Secrets
12. Momentary Lapse of Reason

Also, if anyone here is a fan of Barrett era Floyd, you would be wise to pick up The Madcap Laughs if you don't already have it. It's a wonderful album, and though it's mostly just Barrett singing to an acoustic guitar, it still has a rather psychedelic feel to it.

Edit: Man do I feel bad, I left Atom Heart Mother off of my list somehow. Fix'd.

pretty much everything from 67-72 is disgustingly underrated

the wall is way overrated but still good

the final cut is another grossly underrated album

a momentary lapse of reason is kind of ****

the division bell is a good latter floyd album

animals is my favorite of theirs.

Agreed. Especially Atom Heart Mother.

I wouldn't say overrated, it's just better known because Another Brick In the Wall Pt. 2 gets so much radio play. That's the only Floyd song a lot of people know.

Agreed. A great album lyrically imo.

I wouldn't call it shit, I think it's a decent album. It's not up to normal Floyd standards, but it has its moments. Sorrrow is one of my favorite post-Waters tunes.

Agreed. Wonderful guitar work.

Animals is a good album. When I first got it I didn't listen to anything else for about a month.

well, a momentary lapse of reason isn't.. heh.. poo i guess, there are some good songs. it's just in my opinion it is their weakest album.

I disagree...The Final Cut, ewwwwwwwww.

JohnnyK · 12-13-2005, 05:15 PM

C'mon, The Final Cut isn't that bad. The continual war theme gets old at times, but the lyrics are up to par with the other Floyd albums. The only thing lacking is the dominating presence of Gilmour and Wright.

Lyrics are great sure, but the music itself is very meh. The use of overstuffed musical and orchestra arangements is just one problem i have with it, another would be the fact that the band itself is very low in the mix, they lost a very important element in the music when they lost Richard Wright, his playing is sorely missed, and Gilmour and Mason are given little or nothing to do, and the vocals are just inferior to previous Floyd albums...I give Waters credit for trying something new, but the result was very disapointing.

Of course, thats just my opinion.

Yanqui_UXO · 12-13-2005, 05:20 PM

dude, seriously, the final cut is a tear jerker.

the gunners dream, your possible pasts, the post-war dream, self-titled track, two suns in the sunset, the fletcher memorial home

and one of pink floyd's lyrically most explicit (not to mention heaviest) "now now john"
