Not sure if this has been posted yet, but this is a really interesting collection of unreleased demos and extras, all sorted into volumes for easy navigation.

So, can you download them or what?

There's a Pink Floyd tribute band out here on the West Coast called House of Floyd that I saw a couple of years back.  They do a really good job performing the material and bringing a good stage show.  I'm starting to go through a Floyd jonesing phase, so I may have to see this guys soon and get my fix. 

Anyone out West who is interested (they generally tour CA, OR, WA, AZ, NV, and CO):  https://www.houseoffloyd.com/

I saw The Pink Floyd Experience perform last year - funny they are back in town this weekend. Pretty decent show. They played the entire Animals album.

Wow, people really don't like The Wall. I consider it the greatest album of all time.

I think my issue with The Wall is that I had such high expectations going into it. I had Dark side and Wish you were here for a few years before I got the Wall and loved them to death. Everybody kept saying "well, if you like them then you will love The Wall, you just have to get The Wall",  and I went in with unrealistic expectations I guess. There's something about it which just really rubs me the wrong way.

1. Wish you were Here
2. Dark side of the Moon
3. Animals
4. Meddle
5. Obscured by Clouds
6. Atom Heart Mother
7. Momentary Lapse of Reason
8. Saucerful of Secrets
9. Piper at the gates of dawn
10. Division Bell
11. The Wall

12. The final Cut

The Division Bell has so many great songs. I think I gave everything a 4 or 5 on iTunes. But for some reason I'm never in the mood to listen to the whole thing.

The Division Bell doesn't even have Waters on it. How can it possibly be good?

All right, I'll check it out. But honestly I think Waters' ideas for PF's direction and music were way better than Gilmour's. I mean, The Wall's my #1 album, so....

I like quite a few songs on The Division Bell, but Take It Back and Coming Back To Life stop the album dead for me every time I listen to them. Those two are such boring duds.

Marooned is still one of my favorite instrumentals... ever.

The Division Bell for the most part is just good for me, but High Hopes is a top 5 PF song IMO.

I wish I loved The Division bell as much as you guys...  :-\

My top 5:

1. Animals
2. Wish you were here
3. Dark side of the moon
4. Atom heart mother
5. The Wall

Speaking of The Wall, it has to be the album that took me the longest time to get into - three and a half years. I think it's amazing now, especially the second half.  :heart

Realistically I might do this, as I've heard that some concepts from The Wall carried over. All right, I'll be checking out The Final Cut and The Division Bell next!

I can't think I've ever listened to TFC any more than once or twice since owning it. I'm pretty sure I've listened to TDB a few times, and even AMLOR more than a couple times as well. TFC just didn't grab me like the following two albums did. It's a shame the TDB line-up didn't make another album, but if there had to be a Pink Floyd swan-song album, I'm glad it was that.

I'm through the first half of The Final Cut and it's incredible. Exactly what most PF albums are missing. As a tentative rank, I'd say it's in a three way tie with Animals and WWYH.

The Final Cut is the only Pink Floyd album I don't really like. It's missing the atmospherics of Richard Wright's keyboards and apart from two or three really cool moments, it makes me very depressed.

So The Final Cut was pretty awesome. There weren't any individual songs that stood out, but the overall feel of the album was great, alike to that of The Wall - very sorrowful and despairing.

For whatever reason, Not Now John was my least favorite song almost instantly. I can't stand PF's "rockers", like Have a Cigar and Young Lust.

8/10 album for sure.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces
