bubinga5 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) I'm sure I was listening to this band in the Womb. My mum was a big fan, and when she passed away I got her original vinyl of The Wall. Its still in perect condition. Every now and again I have a yearning to listen to my back catalogue of Pink Floyd. I think it's probably the most special music I've ever listed to. I have many favorites like Us and Them, Money, Breath. This is a real favorite of mine. Love it's bluesy feel. Listening wise, Pink Floyd have there place. But a very special one.Not typical when I think of Pink Floyd but a great record with lyrics about Rogers disgust with the record industry.Vocals by Roy Harper http://youtu.be/hMr3KtYUCcI Edited November 8, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 A great tune. I actually prefer the alt. version with Dave & Rog's vox... I've got loads of faves... Echoes, Sheep, Not Now John, Fat Old Sun, SOYCD... just a great band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinB Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Strange... I've been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd today after decades of Floyd silence in the B household. I never really 'got' them when I was young, but now.... Comfortably Numb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've always been a big fan of the album that so many seem to love to hate, Animals. It's what turned me onto the bass guitar and still a favourite. Sheep being particularly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbayne Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I prefer the earlier quirkier stuff with Syd Barrett to the bloated pomp rock of the 70,s. Mind you, I dont mind The Division Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectoremg Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Dark Side's a masterpiece - a band at the point where all their planets lined up. But I love listening to Echoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I used to listen to Floyd all the time when I was younger. These days if I listen to them at all it's either Piper At The Gates Of Dawn or Animals. I really wouldn't care if I never heard "Shine on..." ever again.

[/quote] The whole album had a theme of 'absence' Storm Thurgensens idea was along the lines of a man shaking hands with himself on fire as a way of saying goodbye I think.......well it WAS the 70's!!
