The Official Pink Floyd Thread

I've been previewing all songs on iTunes.
I like the sound of A saucerful of secrets.

"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" is such an amazing jam.

Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii

Watch it now. Thank me for the rest of your life.

Yeah that's the song that struck me.

I've never really listened to them.
Which album(s) should I start with?

Start with either Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here. Do NOT start with either Piper At The Gates of Dawn, Animals or The Wall - all absolutely classic albums, but should be explored later.

animals and the wall are very “accessible”.....as is meddle.

Original or the director’s cut? My vote would be the original, except for some of the behind-the-scenes stuff in the newer version.

This thread’s got me itching to pull out Ummagumma for the first time in a while, lol.

Original. That’s the one I grew up watching.

One of their best shows.

Just rocked out to Wish You Were Here... and then fired up DSOTM.

Time.

Un-f**king real. The lyrics are awesome. So is the music.

These guys are definitely my favourite band of all time.

Just listening to DSOTM for the third time.
After the first listen I was surprised it finished so soon. I expected it to be longer and better.
Maybe it needs to grow on me. I absolutely love Us and Them. Money I have heard numerous times before.

Hang in there, Thoughts Arrive.

Setting is also significant. Need to be in a mellow/melancholy mood. Headphones are a plus. Drink in hand is good too.

Isn't all their music for listening and not rocking out to?
I have listened to Meddle, Saucerful of secrets, most of Ummagumma.
I like the song Fearless on Meddle and Set the control for the heart of the sun on Saucerful of secrets.

Pretty much.

What's your favourite album?
What do you think is their best album?

The Wall for sure to both.

Wish You Were Here 2.
Dark Side 3.
Animals 4.
Final Cut 5.

As you can tell... I'm not as high on their earlier stuff as others here might be.

No Roger Waters=Not Pink Floyd

I agree with your last statement. I went and saw them anyways on both those post Waters tours, but as awesome as Gilmour is... it's not the same.
