you're right about the fragile.

If you ignore the pomposity the bulk of their work, Greg Lake was able to craft a lot of great shorter songs like From the Beginning and Lucky Man, among a handful of others. I agree that a lot of their work just flat-out sucks, but if you hear them on a compilation, they're pretty damn good.

I can never quite understand how Genesis (at least when they were fronted by Peter Gabriel) get such bad rep. I just don't know how someone can praise post-Barrett era Floyd and hate Genesis. You could prefer one over the other, but to love one and hate the other, I just don't get.

gmku · 12.14.2007, 07:46 AM

I've wanted to get into Floyd, but every time I hear a cut from Dark Side, I feel nauseated.

Sorry, tank...

12.14.2007, 08:14 AM

The whole period with Barrett is fantastic and so creative. I like bits and bobs from some of the other records, but it doesn't beat the raw energy of those first two albums. This is just personal taste, though, because they were a pretty good band even without Barrett, just not for me.

gmku · 12.14.2007, 08:15 AM

Pied Piper is on my wish list, actually. I just never see it in the stores.

finding nobody · 12.14.2007, 11:18 AM

Was way into them in 8th grade. They've got a solid discography up until Waters left. But, I've heard good things about division bell, so I could be wrong. I did not like A Momentary Lapse of Reason (I think that's the name)

batreleaser · 12.14.2007, 11:42 AM

the rest of floyd resents the fact that the music they made with syd was the only thing inventive and "cool". dark side is ok, animals is ok, the WALL IS FUCKING SELF INDULGENT BULLSHIT

Pavement are not original at all, they borrowed all their sound from Television and The Fall, and I can't stand their "fucking-up on purpose" of their songs, it's not brave it's just stupid and lazy and it only makes for tedious listening.

EDIT: I don't want to offend Pavement fans (I hadn't slept a lot when I wrote that), that's just my opinion off course.

Torn Curtain · 12.14.2007, 12:25 PM

Meddle is my favorite Pink Floyd record, I'm always blown away every time I listen to Echoes.

jonathan · 12.14.2007, 02:03 PM

I'm really not a fan of any of their records after Dark Side of the Moon. Meddle blows me away and Piper at the Gates of Dawn is just fucking remarkable.

I've searched loooong and hard for a band that sounds like anything from Piper at the Gates of Dawn and I have yet to find it...

Protectmeyou · 12.14.2007, 03:21 PM

the live side of Ummagumma is my fav. beautiful improv.

bories · 12.14.2007, 03:30 PM

Pink Floyd sucks; they play shows for 85 dollar a person. For what? For throwing balloons at your face. For letting pigs fly.

I agree. I don't find The Wall nearly as good as I did when I was younger.

1967-1977 (sans the More soundtrack) + The Final Cut are all great imo.

Savage Clone · 12.14.2007, 04:54 PM

Up to and NOT including Dark Side Of The Moon, I love this music deeply.
Dark Side forward, they are dead to me.
