And this will stun some, but I also think the live versions of "One of These Days," from both Delicate Sound of Thunder and the Pulse DVD, destroy the studio original. I have never been overly wild about the studio version. The guitar tone is too heavy and distorted.

I guess I can understand that, but many of us grew up with the studio version; there was no live version for many years, and that "too heavy and distorted" sound is what totally made the sound. Hell yes, it's heavy and distorted. It's also the first time anyone ever thought to play a steel guitar like that, too.

And somehow I think we've had this conversation before. I was just gonna ask if you heard the live version first, and suddenly remembered that you'd already answered Yes to that question. Or maybe it was someone else who also prefers the live version and heard it first.

Yes, I did hear the live version first. Hearing the studio version was a bit of letdown after that, and I have just never completely warmed up to it.

And to those saying you think The Wall has a lot of throwaways songs, watch the movie. Every song will take on major importance once you see the movie.

I tried to watch the movie and got bored out of my mind during the first 15 minutes or so, I couldn't go on.
But I went to the Pink Floyd laser spectacular show last year -www.laserspectacular.com/- and the wall movie parts they included for Happiest Days of Ours Lives and ABITW Pt.2 was amazing.

I voted WYWH, Animals and The Wall. I was introduced to PF thru DSOTM, which blew me away, but I think it got overexposed (to me, anyway).

The Wall: hated the movie, but I love the music, even all the bits that people might consider "throwaway".

Orbert · « **Reply #39 on:** September 12, 2009, 04:11:44 PM »

I skip a lot of The Wall, but I would never call those bits throwaways. I'm quite familiar with the story (wrote a paper on it in AP English -- got an A) so I know how it all fits. I just don't care to hear it all anymore. The parts where he's sitting there watching TV and spacing out. The Trial sometimes. "Don't Leave Me Now". Lots of good music on The Wall, and lots of stuff I just skip now. But I used to play it all the way through, every time, as a rule.

I love The Wall. I just got the original vinyl of it and my dad's record player

Blackened Justice · « **Reply #42 on:** September 14, 2009, 02:03:02 AM »

I'm gonna go against the tendence a bit here, and voted Soundtrack to the film More, Ummagumma and Meddle. I love almost all of their discography, my favorites outside those 3 are Animals, The Wall and DSOTM, but those earlier albums really touch something inside. It's brilliant experimentation, and great use of the studio as a musical instrument itself.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #43 on:** September 28, 2009, 05:15:22 AM »

For me it's Animals, WYWH and TDSOTM, in that order. Animals is one of the best things ever written.

Mladen · « **Reply #44 on:** September 28, 2009, 08:20:42 AM »

It's unbelievable to me that Piper at the gates of dawn has no votes so far.

CrimsonSunrise · « **Reply #46 on:** September 28, 2009, 01:28:41 PM »

I remember ditching class in my freshman year one day, went to a buddies house and did some serious smokin.... he threw on DSOTM, I had never heard it before, and when the alarms went off I about shit myself...

energythief · « **Reply #47 on:** September 28, 2009, 01:51:59 PM »

In order:

The Wall (to me deserves every bit of its hype and legendary status)
Dark Side of the Moon (laser light shows ftw)
A Momentary Lapse of Reason (which has individual songs I like more than anything on DSotM, but as an overall album DSotM is better)

brakkum · « **Reply #48 on:** September 28, 2009, 01:54:57 PM »

Dark Side of the Moon
Wish you were Here
The Wall

Listening to Animals for the first time in months, boy I love that album, it just never gets old for me.

tbw2445 · « **Reply #51 on:** December 20, 2009, 08:26:49 PM »

Animals and Wish You Were Here are definitely my favorite Pink Floyd albums.

Pyroph · « **Reply #52 on:** January 28, 2010, 01:30:23 PM »

Someone should do a PF survivor.

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #53 on:** January 28, 2010, 02:02:57 PM »

I was just thinking about this. I'd be willing to run it again if we have enough interest.

glaurung · « **Reply #54 on:** January 28, 2010, 03:09:27 PM »

I would participate. It would motivate me really get to know more of their albums I hardly listen to.

LTE · « **Reply #55 on:** January 28, 2010, 03:17:03 PM »

I have recent appreciation for Meddle. It's so nice and mellow. Really makes me feel happy and content. One of my friends had only heard DSOTM when it comes to PF, so I let him borrow Meddle and Animals last week. I'll see what he has to say when I hang out with him again this weekend.

LordCaptainMcKlockenstein · « **Reply #56 on:** January 28, 2010, 05:45:43 PM »

Meddle's a great album. Has one of their best opening songs too.

I actually like it a lot more than Animals. The songs in Animals tend to wander a bit too much at times.

JamesCLN87 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 28, 2010, 06:12:11 PM »

I went with Meddle, Darkside and Wish You Were Here though tbh i love everything from Meddle onwards a lot. I havn't fully got into some of the earlier stuff yet but it's growing on me!

Ultimetalhead · « **Reply #58 on:** January 28, 2010, 06:19:57 PM »

Alright. I guess I'll set up the survivor after I'm done subbing for emindead in the Offspring survivor. Should be about 2 weeks.

LTE · « **Reply #59 on:** January 28, 2010, 06:35:23 PM »

Fearless is probably my favorite song on Meddle, although everything else is just as good, Fearless just puts me in a different plane.

orcus116 · « **Reply #60 on:** January 28, 2010, 10:47:31 PM »

The 73-77 albums. They were unstoppable musically.

Zydar · « **Reply #61 on:** January 29, 2010, 02:09:06 AM »

Yeah, bring on a PF survivor. I would participate.

Mladen · « **Reply #62 on:** January 29, 2010, 02:30:02 AM »

I'd participate as well, it's gonna be fun.

Blasphemy! Animals is an example of perfect songwritting.

To me, at least.

Pyroph · « **Reply #64 on:** January 29, 2010, 07:45:43 AM »

Yep, Animals is one of the best albums ever created, not a dull moment on it.

I find "Pigs" to be quite of a dull song, to be honest.

Arcaeus · « **Reply #66 on:** January 30, 2010, 02:04:06 PM »

Pigs is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs

My votes were for Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, and The Division Bell. Not a fan of the Wall, and I normally like ridiculous, pretentious progressive rock albums with the central character being a fucking psychopath*. *shrug*

That's every progressive rock concept album in the world, huh?

emindead · « **Reply #67 on:** January 30, 2010, 02:05:33 PM »

The Division Bell. Not "Stand".

Arcaeus · « **Reply #68 on:** January 30, 2010, 02:07:19 PM »

Shit. I knew that, how the hell did I end up with what I did?

Plasmastrike · « **Reply #69 on:** January 30, 2010, 07:11:34 PM »

Animals - Wish You Were Here - The Wall in that order

Dark Side Of The Moon and The Division Bell close behind.
