Thats crazy. The other night I had a dream I was wearing a pink floyd shirt. The black one with the prism on it for dark side of the moon.
I remember it being a dilemma in my head saying I dont wear pink floyd shirts...but then being cool with it cause pink floyd was pretty damn good.
LSD connected me in ways I still have yet to fully comprehend.

Animals was one of their best albums, as was Wish You Were Here. I also burned out on The Wall and Dark Side, although I can listen to Great Gig almost anytime.
No Roger Waters = Not the full band.

BUMMER!!! shit, i've been a floyd fan for 30 + years.
those of us in the know burned out on the commercial stuff 20 years ago.
animals, meddle even wish you were here..........outshine the wall.
the wall is a favorite among pseudo fans.
hasn't been floyd since the "final cut"
barrett was a founding member but roger waters is pink floyd.
there's really no floyd without waters just like there's no dark
side of the moon, it's all dark

i saw them at the omni in Atlanta when i was 13. i think the tickets were 12.50 and the pot was free.
there were sheets of *snoopy* acid being sold 100 for a 100 bucks or 2 bucks a hit.
the show was incredible and i got a blowjob from a 15 year old hippy girl. ahhhhh good times

I hated "The Wall" as soon as it came out, I was like "Gee Rog if you're so miserable why don't you just kill youself instead of forcing me to listen to this depressing crap?"
Love "Piper..." and "Saucerfull..." of course, but subsequent stuff such as "Umagumma" or "Atom..." is so self-indulgent that it's hard to take except in small doses. You could hear snippets of brilliance, but in my opinion they never really got it all together until "Meddle" which was just fucking brilliant. It was adventurous, melodic, and fun. The film score "Obscured By Clouds" has three songs on the second side that are like Meddle pt. 2 to me, and I think "Free Four" may be my favorite Gilmour guitar solo; the film music from side one is kind of an indulgent throwback to "Atom Heart Mother" to my ear, and the whole effort sounds cheap and slapdash, rather poorly recorded in a hurry at EMI Paris. "Dark Side..." is brilliant of course, but it's almost totally lacking in fun, and anyway I've heard it enough for a lifetime. "Wish You Were Here" has the high production value of "Dark Side" but seems more playful, I can still enjoy it. "Animals" just seems obscure to me, the songs seem droning and lacking in any sort of hook to grab the ear, but at least it's not annoying.
And that's where it ends for me, nothing they did after that is even listenable to me. By "The Final Cut" they had become the British Steely Dan. But damn I love the early psychedelic stuff.
