I love Pink Floyd, my favourite band of all time. Any other big fans? Favourite song? album? My favourite song is Time, and my favourite albums are The Dark Side Of The Moon (of course :P ) and The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Heres 2 examples of Floyd songs Arnold Layne (http://media.putfile.com/Arnold-Layne) Money (http://media.putfile.com/money-68)

You know I'm a fan! I love: Money Dark side of the moon Wish you were here Another Brick in the wall Comfortably numb.
T.RexSalvaged from archive14 Jun 2006, 05:41
Have you heard any of their early stuff? When they had a different lineup. Its very different yet insanely good. Check out The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Great album, Psychedelic music at its best imo.

Pink Floyd - Any fans? You bet! I have 20 albums of theres and have yet to find anything I do not like. Fav LP has to be Dark Side of The Moon.
T.RexSalvaged from archive15 Jun 2006, 02:10
Well I have 23! 8) :P :D As far as I know im only missing Relics and A Collection Of Great Dance Songs.
Rocker KidSalvaged from archive15 Jun 2006, 06:31
Wow I could probably name a few more albums and songs I like but I don't think I'll ever love them as much as you guys! I'm outta here! *runs off to go learn more about Pink Floyd!!!*
cymru am bythSalvaged from archive1 Sept 2006, 16:30

Uh ohSalvaged from archive2 Sept 2006, 07:28
i've only heard dark side of the moon, but i have to say it's amazing. i'd love to get into their music more.
T.RexSalvaged from archive2 Sept 2006, 20:16
Try Wish You Were Here, Animals, Piper At The Gates of dawn and the wall. Also pulse is great if your into live stuff, but its missing waters.

How so?
T.RexSalvaged from archive4 Sept 2006, 18:42
You only have too look at the amount of albums they have sold, and the massive concerts they have performed to see how many people love them and dont think they are overated. They are arguably below only the beatles and maybe zeppelin when it comes to the amount of influence they have had, and they have sold a staggering amount of albums and today 20 years later their live shows are still remember as being some of the biggest and most breathtaking concerts ever. They were the highlight of Live 8, despite not having performed together for 20 years. They will go down in history and their albums will still be in print 250 years time imo. What albums of theirs do you have? and why do you find them overated.
Rocker KidSalvaged from archive4 Sept 2006, 18:53
Sadly. The most influential band of the past 10 years is Green Day. Goes to show it doesn't matter how many albums they've sold. Only matters if the core of the music and the fan base (Green Day has shriveled into Tiger Beat and punk poser 12-year-olds material) Is good. So you can't base good music on the amount of records sold. Most likely Mariah Carey or Fall Out Boy have sold the most albums this year.

Sadly. The most influential band of the past 10 years is Green Day. :lol: Your having a giggle!?!? Greenday the most influential band of the past decade? Open your eyes love. The only people that rate greenday highly are watered down magazines like karrang and the only people that find them influential are the young teens that buy it... Greenday have only really got 'big' in the last few years with the rise of pop punk and emo. There have been far more influential bands from the last 10 years. They have never made a amazing album or single that everyone will know and talk about and still buy in 30 years time. They have never made a dark side, a thriller or an album on the scale of sergant peppers ect.

And didn't I post that theiy're down to 12-year-old fans? I saw it on TV actually no no my sister saw who declared them that. I remember my sister trying to make me guess who it was. Actually they where also "big" once before in the 90's with their pop-punk album called "Dookie" Zepplin? No Pink Floyd? No Nirvana? No Who then? Green Day. Me: Why? Sister: *shrugs* Where did you see this? Sister: TV Me: What channel? I forgot what channel I was heart broken....

Greenday have easily been on the scene for a decade, and along with a host of other punkboppers deffinately HAVE set the scene for the cringing shit we've had to deal with over the past couple of years. Not that I'm grateful or anything...
T.RexSalvaged from archive4 Sept 2006, 20:40
Set the scene maybe, but they havnt really come into the spotlight since the last few years. Calling them the most influential band of the decade is laughable imo.
snufftelectSalvaged from archive4 Sept 2006, 20:57
Set the scene maybe, but they havnt really come into the spotlight since the last few years. Calling them the most influential band of the decade is laughable imo. "When I Come Around" was first released on their 1994 album "Dookie". :wink: That's more than a decade ago, and only a few years before that they were all over the airwaves getting attention for signing to a label which they *ahem* of course would never do. :lol: :lol: :lol: It's probably just a bit before your time, bro. I dunno. All I can say is that I feel Rocker Kid's statement has a whole hell of a lot of truth to it. Greenday were to pop-punk (*WRETCH*) what Jane's Addiction were to the West Coast Funk scene. ...And all this coming from a D'n'B man. :lol: I feel like I'm prostituting myself to you filthy greebos...J/K. :mrgreen:
T.RexSalvaged from archive4 Sept 2006, 21:17
Thats still dosnt make them the most influential band of a decade, especially since 1994 was more than 10 years ago. They havnt had the major social impact that other bands have had, and their music is mostly ridiculed by serious listeners.

They havnt had the major social impact that other bands have had, and their music is mostly ridiculed by serious listeners. Careful T.Rex, your treading the thin line to rhetoric 'mongst these pages. :wink: I'm in no way a Greenday fan, here me on this: but I believe your original argument consisted along the ol' "jolly corporate cock-riders" line, and now you've retreated into the dark abyss of rhetoric. How does one quantify social impact, for instance? :wink: Money minted? Time lasted? Following created? Greenday tick all those boxes, and I double-damn well guarantee you that ANY band you can come up with regarding "major social impact" does too. Conclusion: Greenday have had some serious fucking impact and have indeed been a major influence on (as I've said earlier) the horrible teenie-bopping post psuedo-punk scene that we've experienced as of late. You might not like them or the scene that they've exacerbated (guess what: neither do I :wink: ), but to deny their sublime influence upon popular music is shooting yourself in the proverbial foot.

Ive never denied they havnt been an influence, ive said that calling them the biggest influence in the last ten years is a joke. They have been around 12 years? this imo is not long enough to judge how much of an influence they have had, especially since this emo/pop punk trend hasnt been going on for more than a few years.

True dat! Your original posts gave the impression that you were centering more on Greenday's abundant lack of coolness as opposed to their undeniable influence. Other than that, I would hypothesise that in years to come new generations will be singing their songs all the same...and in that I concede that I may be horribly wrong. :lol: Only time will tell. If I am I will search you out and buy you a pint, sir! :D *takes notes upon T.Rex's IP address* ...J/K. :mrgreen:
Rocker KidSalvaged from archive4 Sept 2006, 22:31
Yep. It's true though. They also sold the most merchindice outta anybody last year I dunno how many MILLIONS it was but in the second came My Chemical Romance (yuck!) But maybe in Britian green day didn't make such an impact with Dookie or American Idiot. Even though they're no good they have been EXTREMELY influential to pop-punkers in the US. Bands are still coppying their sound and even clothing and hair cuts. To name a few: Blink 182 (especially) My Chemical Romance No Doubt Simple Plan Good Charlotte And a bunch of other little hipsters that can copy off Green Day because a bunch of little kids have never even been born when Dookie came out....
AllisterFiendSalvaged from archive4 Sept 2006, 22:37
I was just joking by saying that... but, uh... ok... How you can say that Aerosmith is overrated, and Pink Floyd not? When your going by record sales... Pink Floyd, one of rock music's most successful and influential acts, the group have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, and an estimated 63.5 million albums in the United States alone. Aerosmith, who have been performing as the original lineup for the past 22 years, have sold 140 million albums worldwide, and 66.5 million albums in the United States alone, making them the 2nd bestselling American rock band, second only to The Eagles. The band have scored twenty-one Top 40 hits, have won four Grammy awards, and continue to tour relentlessly. Record sales not that much different, eh? I actually really do like pink floyd... :wink:

I actually really do like pink floyd... :wink: Need I really go into the influence Pink Floyd have had on popular music? They recorded the first Psychedelic folk music ever and then went on to be the pioneers of both true progressive rock and psychedelic music. Not only were they among the first progressive and psychedelic bands, they were also the best. They pratically started up new genres, today they are still given credit as major influences to popular music. Despite having only performed one show together in 20 years... Aerosmith however only really done things that have already done before. They did it quite well admitetly, but they only made hard rock songs, something thats been done countless times before and since, and many times better than aerosmith did it.
Rocker KidSalvaged from archive5 Sept 2006, 00:43
Mmm actually Aerosmith haved released alot of blusey stuff... They have roughly 21 #1 Hits and they have played together for years and years not many artists can say that... They have even inspired clothing styles and actually Green Day stole some riffs from them while making American Idiot lol. They are also pointed out as influences.

I think you'll find that by musical deffinition every "Rock" song created in the history of mankind is based on blues scales...unless you go back several tens of thousands of years when "rock music" literally was music played upon rocks and animal hides...of course...

Aerosmith's first music they started playing was a blues-jazz-R&B kind of feel... They formed in 1969... Many of their influences...... * The Beatles * The Yardbirds * Led Zeppelin * Fleetwood Mac * Janis Joplin * The Rolling Stones * Jimi Hendrix * The Doors * Chuck Berry * James Brown * Muddy Waters * The Kinks * The Who http://www.amazon.com/Aerosmith/dp/B0000029AL/sr=8-5/qid=… This is their first album... scroll down and listen to the samples... :) You might find it interesting... listen to "one way street"... "mama kin"... "movin' out"... "write me a letter"... "walking the dog"........ Really... listen to it. They really are a funk/blues band... But I'm getting off topic. My first post was a joke, because you always say everything is overrated... heh... Yes, Pink Floyd a great band. Not my favorite. Good though. You ever do the Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon thing T. Rex?

ThanatosSalvaged from archive16 Sept 2006, 03:01
I enjoyed Another Brick In The Wall and have both versions of the video (anime/actors) and i liked a few of the other tracks (comfortably numb among them) but i cant get away from the fact that almsot all their songs consist 80% of a slow, plain bassline and a regular 4/4 drumbeat. I like music to be varied and (to the highest possible degree) unique (hence i hate most dnb (sorry), rnb, pop and emo). I enjoy the songs, but feel like im listening to the same 2/3 tracks on constant repeat...
T.RexSalvaged from archive16 Sept 2006, 13:12
Thanatos, try some of their earlier stuff out, most particular Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. It really couldnt be more different. A fantastic album that is shamefully overlooked.

I went to watch a Floyd tribute band thinking I would enjoy it. They were good but the atmosphere was wrong. It felt like I was being unfaithful in a way. Second track in I told my sons then left and went to the nearest pub on the corner and waited for them. They can't understand why I left and how depressed I felt. I got fairly pissed then went home to the headphones and bifter.

I was gonna see the 'Austrailian Pink Floyd' early last year, who are ment to be almost identical (they have one of them very few real dophin amps that are used on echo's etc) and Gimour had them play at one of his birthdays. But then Waters went on tour instead, so I saw him instead.

I had fun reading this old ass thread. :xyxthumbs: I'd say my fav album is "Wish You Were Here" It's definitly a masterpiece. Fav song is a tough one though. So many to choose from. I guess Comfortably Numb or Crazy Diamond. I dunno though???
