When I'm involuntarily humming a tune to myself, and if it's a Pink Floyd song, it's usually Hey You and Wish You Were Here.

Plus an awesome string of four masterpieces in a row when I was 16-22yo (1973-1979).:thumbsup: It's too bad Obscured by Clouds isn't as good because the streak could have started at Meddle.

I graduated university in spring 1980 and the ~23 new geological engineers in my class spent a fabulous weekend at a huge remote cottage near a lake, boozing, smoking grass and listening to Pink Floyd.

Sadly, there will never be music like this again.

In those days, people bought entire albums. They would sit at home and put on a record, and let it play all the way through because it was too much of a hassle to lift the record player arm to another track.

Today, people either download bits and pieces of albums, and if they don't like the first 10 seconds of a song they just hit the skip button on their CD/MP3 player. Therefore the whole album seldom gets listened to.

Then the radio stations basically have to play a 3 hour loop of the songs that the music corporations tell them they have to play, so secondary songs never see the light of day.

The concept of a whole album telling a story is dead, and we're worse off for it

You've been making that joke since that song was released.

It brings back a lot of memories, you for one.

Hard to say, incredible band though.

who cares about Gilmour, it's Roger Waters who's currently touring

He was just here in Ottawa but I couldn't have afforded his show even if I had known. At any rate, the whole show is online for those who wish to check it to decide whether it's worth the money when he shows in your city.

Yup. The only reason i posted "very few" was because of Led Zeppelin's ability in the whole album area as well... And saying Pink Floyd is greater than Zeppelin is not something i would ever state. They are both of equal greatness in my mind.

Time. It's timeless.

Basically all songs on dark side

I vote for GO, but don't watch the vids and ruin it. Be amazed at the show when you see it live.

I will hazard the The Mars Volta is even better.

 

[Aharami]

the entire 2nd disc of The Wall. Was just listening to it on my ride to work

 

[UsandThem]

Hard to pick my favorite song because too many are great. I just saw Roger Water's The Wall tour on October 26th. I was 8th row - center stage. AMAZING! Worth every penny.

A remaster of the Division Bell incoming?

I can't believe it was released 20 years ago

 

[MongGrel]

Lots of things, but I used to listen to either Animals for Pink Floyd, or Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs, or Rush Farewell to Kings when I went to sleep every night at the time.

On the 8-track

It's funny there are a few songs I still hear on the radio and remember where they would fase out in some spots when the 8 tracks would switch channels and fade back in.

This one was always good for kicks.

UmmaGumma was such an odd album
