Does anyone else fucking love these guys? I've looked into them a bit and they're all really cool folks, played recently at live 8. I especially like Sid Barrett, their inspiration and sort-of leader.

I've seen them live twice. Absolutely worth it.

I like Pink Floyd, but I'm pretty picky about what I'll listen to by them. Most anything after "The Wall" I don't pay much attention to.

I pretty much love anything provided it meets this equation:

Pink Floyd = GOOD
IF AND ONLY IF
Sid Barrett = 0 + Roger Waters = 1

Animals is probably my favorite album of theirs. I listened to it religiously when the original Wolfenstein 3D came out for the PC. I liked to invision the song "Dogs" being about the Nazi's german shepherds that I was stabbing to death.



And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest that you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, alone
Dragged down by the stone.

I go WAY back with the Floyd. I fell in love with The Wall at a young age (12 or 13) and Wish You Were Here and Animals followed closely after (props to my first and only guitar teacher for those ones, even if he did express only a 'meh' opinion about their stuff as a whole and especially the Wall). Like Chefelf, Animals really resonated with me. Even though i got into them at a young age i'm only now wrapping up their discography. It wasn't even until yesterday that i heard A Saucerful of Secrets (awesome, by the way). I didn't even hear Dark Side until 3 or 4 years after i first got into them.
I couldn't give a favorite Floyd album today but these days any pre-Dark Side stuff just knocks me out. With or without Barrett, they were one of the best psychedelic bands in existence.
I wouldn't have the enthusiasm for music that i do now if i hadn't discovered Pink Floyd when i did (then again maybe i would have, but Floyd got to me first so it get's top honors). I can listen to their stuff today and still get something more than nostalgia out of it.

I never really got into PF, but that Live 8 show a few weeks back blew me away.

I'm now thinking of campaigning for them to headline Glastonbury in 2007. If they can perform like that after a decade and a half apart, imagine what they'd be like with a couple more years to get back into the groove.

They're excellent. The Wall is my favorite album, but I didn't like Dark Side.

"Animals" is definitely up there for me as well. I'm not that well versed on them, but I remember the first album I heard by them was "The Division Bell" and I fucking hated it. It bored me. A few years after that I happened to catch "The Wall" on TV and was captivated by it, so I took more of an interest after that.
And now, every night when I go to bed, I get to look at a large flag depicting the marching hammers from that movie that hangs over my bed. Joy.

I'm more of a Humble Pie kinda guy than a Pink Floyd kinda guy. Not that they're bad, I just never got into 'em.

I saw them in '94. I've got a bootleg, which doesn't do the experience justice.

Kept waiting for signature guitar licks to no avail. The Live 8 reunion had them, all right. Have the unadulterated performance on tape for what that's worth.

Damn they set a nice standard for live performance!

That's what everyone keeps telling me. Sorry... I can't stand Syd Barret. He may have been the originator of the group and the main driving force behind it's inception but I find everything he's ever done to be profoundly terrible... the same way I find anything after Roger Waters left to be completely dull and uninteresting.

I like some of the Barrety stuff as long as it's AFTER Piper. I can't stomach that album. biggrin.gif

Just my $0.02.
