I'd say mid-eighties there must have been about a 1000 staffs called Floyd in Liverpool. Call your dog and about 5 came running.

Made me laugh that bit, cos a mate of mine has got two.. PInk and Floyd... I always tell him he sounds gay shoutin "pink" over ha ha

My dog's name is Floyd.
I'm a Led Zeppelin fanatic as well, so he's a Black Dog.

Was driving home from EuroDisney yesterday night and after the family had fallen asleep I popped Echoes on shuffle and just enjoyed being "alone" with the music and the road. I can never get tired of Pink Floyd.

The colleague I share an office with is out today.

I am powering through my work with the help of Pink Floyd.

Already listened to Meddle, currently half way through The Wall, with Wish You Were Here to follow and finally The Dark Side of the Moon.

There are worse ways to spend a Thursday.

Jack the Red · « **Reply #176 on:** September 26, 2013, 04:10:27 pm »

Comfortably Numb
Wish You Were Here
Free Four
The Gunners Dream
Fearless
Echoes

All boss, but they have soooo many good songs.

redan · « **Reply #177 on:** September 26, 2013, 04:50:30 pm »

This is a tough one I've always been more of a fan of the Waters led era 73-83 so here's just a selection;

Comfortably Numb,
The Gunner's Dream
Dogs
Us and Them
Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Hey You
In the Flesh

Damn it there are too many, quality band I'm gutted I never got to see them live. I've seen Water's and Gilmour separately but it's not the same

SamAteTheRedAcid · « **Reply #178 on:** September 26, 2013, 05:00:22 pm »

See Emily Play. Waters can get to fuck, Syd is where it's at.

Les Willis · « **Reply #180 on:** September 26, 2013, 07:26:15 pm »

Dogs
Shine On
Great Gig in the Sky
Goodbye Blue Sky - though really the whole of the first part of The Wall album. Thing about Floyd is, you can't split the songs up you need the whole thing.

vagabond · « **Reply #181 on:** September 27, 2013, 03:26:33 am »

Far too many to mention. Personally I like songs from all of their phases.
Off the top of my head:

Julia Dream
See Emily Play
Gunner's Dream
Fletcher Memorial
Time
Money
Have a Cigar
High Hopes

Fearless. Never even heard the damn thing until Kesey's inspired flag idea last year. What a fucking song.

Honourable mention to Dogs.

Not sure if its classed as Floyd but ' Leaving Beirut ' is a great track.

Difficult to single out one song, when they all fit together so well to make complete albums.
I've always had a soft spot for Brain Damage - "...and if the dam breaks open many years too soon...."

Grantchester meadows (Ummagumma)
Sheep (Animals)
Summer '68 (Atom heart mother)
Pillow of winds (Meddle)
Echoes (Pompeii version)

It isn't!
It goes on to "and if your head explodes....", continuing the Brain Damage theme.

Eclipse begins "All that you touch...."

You're right.

Allow me to shoot myself for such a terrible mistake.

Dark Side of the Moon is still one of the best, most complete albums ever. Sometimes things are universally popular because they are lowest common denominator and sometimes because they are just fucking brilliant. Listening to it now on the way home because of this thread.

Brilliant.

It really is special. It normally takes me a long time to get into albums, even ones I end up liking, but that one made a massive impression on me right from the first listen.

Musketeer Gripweed · « **Reply #193 on:** September 27, 2013, 09:33:48 pm »

Must dig out The Wall DVD, not watched it in ages. Remember the first time I watched it, I was on the verge of turning it off after 5 minutes as I thought Geldof was foing to be singing the whole album/movie.

Mother is my favourite Pink Floyd track. Try and find Pearl Jam's version as well, absolutely brilliant.

Saw The Australian Pink Floyd and Mac Floyd earlier in the year and going back to see the Aussies at The Hydro in Glasgow in January, thought they were brilliant last time.

I work a lot in the summertime and often long hours. Dark side of the Moon is the one album I can never get tired of listening to. Driving in the summer night as the daylight dims and this album is so close to perfection for me. I love it, I truly do.

Just dug this up

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/qvTfN2gjDvU?fs=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="bbc_link bbc_flash_disabled new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/qvTfN2gjDvU?fs=1</a>

And the same song back in the Syd era. With a brilliant introduction and subsequent interview by Hans Keller, a high brow classical music theorist who seems to be in equal amounts appalled and intrigued by what they are doing. Poignant to see Syd so together at that point. And a weird reminder of how times have changed, with a fairly straight-laced establishment figure unabashedly smoking on screen and the kind of sensible discussion after the performance that is worlds away from the music media nowadays
