The "what do you think of Pink Floyd?" thread

[SexyGreyFox]

I absolutely detest their music! I find it very depressing to listen to. Possibly my least favourite band of all time...

Is that you Gilly?

 

[SteveOBHave]

I personally think 'A Delicate Sound of Thunder' is one of the greatest live albums of all time - just epic in every way. I've not heard such emotive guitar playing since (possibly not including Stevie Ray Vaughn playing Little Wing)...

Having said that I also thing that Talking Heads 'Stop Making Sense' is also one of the greatest live albums of all time...

 

[Fenris]

There are certainly more Floyd songs that I dislike than like, however the ones I do like I absolutely love.

 

[Rotty]

saw them live once, walked out after 20 mins

This thread's gonna get locked when Gilly sees it.

They're great. I'm not the biggest fan in the world but I greatly respect David Gilmour as a guitarist.

I quite agree. I don't know much about the other members of PF but I do really admire Gilmour's guitar work.

Fantastic, one of the few bands on my mp3 player that I can truly relax to.

DSOTM is one of a few albums I can listen to on my iPod in bed and know I'll maybe fall asleep to it.

Overrated in my opinion, not a fan at all.

You're not wrong there.
I'd probably get to around 2 minutes.

I like wish you were here,time, comfortably numb and learning to fly...and a few others tbh.

Driving home in the snow at 2am with learning to fly up quite loud in the car was an epic experience. It fitted the mood well at that time.

A guy outside the pub the other night described them at musical masturbation :S

I think they're probly one of the best bands ever!!.. have most (if not all) of their Discography and never tyre of listening to any of it!!..

Plus after this http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18250288 thread I'm gonna have to Watch my 'Pink Floyd: The Wall' DVD tonight in DTS... and crank it up

Might annoy the Wifie but hay!!...

I went through a phase of really liking Pink Floyd, but after a while I found them depressing after listening to nothing else for about a year.
I like them in small doses nowadays, although I would say that Dark side of the moon, is one of the best rock albums ever made, both musically and the way it was both recorded and produced.

I only beat you to it by about 6 months

Oh bother! You did and all. Any chance you've change your mind about Pink Floyd since then?

 

[Margaret]

Over hyped rubbish. Like the Beatles.

[Lopéz]

Never really been a fan. Tried, but I just don't really get on with them.

 

[Scania]

Have all their albums & plenty of Bootlegs that have taken years of tracking down.

I saw them play @ Live8 back in 05 and am seeing Roger Waters on June 27.

I think I like them.....

 

[Nitefly]

Bump - wow reunion!

Pretty gutted I missed it as I'm seeing the wall next week. Did anyone see this? Pretty sure that was your last chance to catch pink floyd

 

[Mucky_Pup]

The band got better when Syd Barret left imo.

 

[PaddyMC89]

Not my favourite 70s prog band but still fantastic. Piper is sublime, as is everything from Meddle onwards, but the four albums in between are best forgotten about.

No, but my dad was in London and he practically worships the ground beneath their feet.

... he was kicking himself for not buying tickets when he first heard about the concert

Final cut was awful.
