Pink Floyd

[drfunkm]

Is the greatest. Period. Anyone that doesn't agree can listen to echoes come back and praise the lords or else I will laugh at you.

[Bo0ddha]

Echoes is definitely not the best example. A lot of Pink Floyd's work is best seen while listening to entire albums. Not best hits randomly thrown together. You lose the whole flow of the greater idea.

[snowultra]

there good, but the wall was attracked me to them in the first place.

see you on the dark side of the moon

[mbucari1]

Absolutely LOVE them. but Bo0ddha is right, echos is not a good example. Pink floyd's albums are very rare in that the MUST be listened as a whole. Splitting them up just does not have the same effect. If you want a good 40min example, listen to Dark Side of the Moon and/or Wish You Were Here. The Wall is also Awesome.

[Skiz]

I gotta agree with everyone else - Of all albums to praise, you choose, Echoes?

I would go with these as a top 3:

Momentary Lapse of Reason
Wish You Were Here
Dark Side of the Moon

Dark Side of the Moon

I'd make it a top 5 with the addition of The Wall and The Division Bell.

I'd say they're the best practitioners of the art of album music ever.

Would that R.W. had stayed with the others, although he has done well enough on his own, I'd say.

Floyd is the best of the "concept" album makers. Dark Side is the longest runner on the chart although I personally have had more "experiences" with The Wall. Queensryche's Mindcrime is excellent as well. The beauty of Floyd and their earlier recordings is the absence of "Computer Magik". If was all hands on. Tape reels...tasty little moog synths and double tracking. It was indeed an art back in the day. Momentary Lapse of Reason is also first rate.
Gilmore's dirty blues riffs are top notch.

Didn't care for the division bell. The writer they hired did not maintain the high standards that I expect from the "true" Pink Floyd.

You must be having an momentary lapse of reason....top
3 :dabs:

No,Waters...meh!

[ChotaZorro]

Haha, that's better. People must have forgotten but now they remember. These are my top 3 best albums by PF:

1.) The Dark Side Of The Moon
2.) The Wall
3.) Wish You Were Here

[Afronaut]

Just listening David Gilmour - Castellorizon.
Hot damn what a tone on that guitar.

[MaxOverlord]

Gilmours tone is excellent. I wonder how his sound would be different if he was a Gibson man. The Humbuckers would give a more fat bluesy sound but to his credit the Strat is the blues geetar. When I think of Gibson I think of Pagey...of course. I do get tired of his harmonies of every song...its not even so much of a harmony as just singing in octaves or sometimes fifths. The fifth does give a dark sound tho'....love him anyway....Comfortably Numb is on my top 5 solos ever.......

All you touch and All you see...Is All your life will ever be....................

[mbucari1]

I said earlier that my top 3 were he Dark Side Of The Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here.

But I think Animals needs to be thrown as one of the greats.

..Echoes...

My favourite number is, in no particular order..all of them.

[iga04]

1. Dark side of the Moon
2. Wish you were here

[mbucari1]

1. Dark side of the Moon
2. Wish you were here
there seems to be a reoccurring theme here. They are 2 of the greatest.

[thegman24]

I think they were definitely the greatest progressive rock band of all time, even over quasi-classical groups likes Yes. 'Dark Side' is both complex, musically, and yet simple at the same time. And with musicians like Gilmour and Wright..... ahhhh perfect!!

[kamba3000]

i like it :D
