Shavixmir, please slow down on them drugs.

The wall

Darkside of the moon

Animals

Delicate sound of thunder

.....
More? Is that an album? I've never heard of it!

Delicate sound of thunder is crap.

So that means you've mentioned:

The wall
Darkside of the moon
Animals.

And that's it?

I'd have put:

Wish you were here
Piper at the gates of dawn
Umaguma

there as well....

and even then I know bands who have a better average!!

I agree with those albums as well, you wanted 4 I gave you 5. I like every floyd album up to that stipid one with the stone heads, it ws there that floyd died for me.

Abba sucks when floyd is being duscussed, deal with it.

Oh dear....

For every great Floyd song you can mention, I can mention an ABBA song which is equally great and probably sold more as well...

Now, I'm the first to agree that sales don't say much about quality, but year after year after year...there must be SOMETHING in it....


haha

You deal with it!

You may notice that the wall continues to be one of the best selling albums of all time. When I started buying albums, I did'nt run out for abba.

Abba sucks shavixmir, and you know it, you're just trying to badmouth one of the greatest bands that ever existed, because you like being weird.

I used to own every Pink Floyd album up to the 80's.

But then I woke one morning and heard "SOS" playing...

Now I drive around in my car merrily singing along to: "RA RA RASPUTIN, LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN....la die laaaa die laaaa"

I'm losing respect for you quickly, and that's hard because you were'nt high on the list to start with.

Actually I bet dancing queen is your theme song.

"I am the dancing queen...
Young and sexy...just 34....la die laaaa die laaaa'

But, if you were gonna quote a Floyd song...which one would it be?

"Pigs on the wing"? Great lyrics there...
Or perhaps... "Dark side of the moon"? Well...actually, there is no dark side of the moon..


hahaha

Na.
You're right.
I prefer Floyd. I just don't want to admit it.

As far as sales go, Pink Floyd have the second highest selling album of all-tiime, with Dark Side of The Moon. And ABBA can have more hits than Babe freakin' Ruth if they want, but they're never be able to make a completely solid album the way Floyd did repeatedly. I think we definitely do have a winner.....

Yes. But much preferable when Van Morrisson is singing it...

I like "Apples and Oranges."

i've got dark side of the moon and i really can't see what's so special about it. it's a decent album, but why does everyone rave about it? and the same with pink floyd themselves, i've never understood why people love them so much. it's not that i don't like them, i just can't see why they're so frikkin' popular 😛

anyway, to vaguely start again;

eric clapton

Wish You Were Here, perhaps the greatest.

DSOTM was just so different to everything that had gone before. the first great concept album. and of course, great songs, themes of madness, consumerism, ageing, death, war and a vaguely occult tone...

and floyd in general: apart from anything else, look at their song titles:

set the controls for the heart of the sun
careful with that axe, Eugene
wot's...uh...the deal?
the gold it's in the...
several species of small furry animals in a cave grooving with a Pict


and the songs themselves:
Echoes
Shine on you Crazy Diamond
Comfortably Numb
One of these Days
Interstellar Overdrive
Another Brick in the Wall
Hey You
Bike
Jugband Blues

arrrgh, now i have to listen to them!
