The Pink Floyd Hate Thread

[pcqgod]

Album: Meddle
Song: Green is the Colour

[soundchaser]

Album: The Dark Side Of The Moon. Along with Sgt. Pepper, my favourite album. It’s a joint No. 1.

Song: Too many faves to narrow it down to just one. So I won’t.

But I can go back to the very beginning. That will be fun.

[soundchaser]

I first heard this many years ago as a poor quality bootleg: now look at it all cleaned up?

But a filthy blues cover is as good a place to start as any in the Pink Floyd story.

From their short time as The Tea Set, I believe.

[soundchaser]

Fucking hell, this where it really begins. A really good R&B performance, with an impassioned and manic Syd vocal.

Honestly, Lucy Leave wouldn't have been out of place on The Madcap Laughs, or Barrett.

Just fantastic!

Hm My favorite albums are
Pipers
More
Obscured
Meddle
WYWH
Animals

Saw them live in 77 at the Spectrum which is the show Waters got a doctor shot and wrote C Numb about. I also saw them a few nights later on 7/4/77 at MSG people were throwing M80's at the Pig. Also went to one of the The Wall show on LI.

kings of space rock in my world.

This thread started so well with everyone saying how crap they were after Syd and then the fans ruined it with their so-called informed opinions. What's wrong with blissfully ignorant bigotry?

Anyway,
Best album: Piper
Best song: Astronomy Domine

I quite like The Wall!! Although it made for the most depressing rock movie ever, the songs are powerful.

I have seen Quaco give the most impassioned performance of Don't Leave Me Now ever rendered.

You saw that?? I was very into it. I love that song. A shame it was a bit out of my range....

Was it ever in Roger Waters' range?

ooh, all of this was looong before my time. The only PF albums I owned were the first two (bought in the Nice Pair format in the early 1970s), although when I was a student I briefly lived (1970) in the same house as copies of UmmaGumma and Atom Heart Mother (and maybe Meddle, although I can't recall a single thing about it apart from the sleeve.
I never listened to Dark Side, or have heard anything that followed it.
Favourite album would be Saucerful. Interstellar Overdrive provokes powerful (good!) memories of the first time I heard it, pounding out at dusk over a Kentish lawn in midsummer, but the first three singles are really where it's at for me, with Emily the winner overall.
