One of my favorite Floyd songs; I used to own this on vinyl but it's taken me years to track down again. Definitely doesn't sound like them. More like Crosby, Still, and Nash

"...shirley the greatest band there ever was?..."

Shirley says 'No, the greatest band there ever was, was The Beatles'. End of...

Not sure if you're serious, the Beatles, nothing but a boyband, similar to Take That.

When they were doing 8 hour stints in Hamburg and knobbing everything they could? SIilar to Take That?

Wise up, mate, and try to understand not only the world-wide impact they had, but their composing and playing ability.

You are taking the piss if you mention Take That in the same breath as The Beatles.

In turn, not sure if you are serious, but if you are... Beggers belief!

Lol, no, wasn't being serious, but lyrically and musically Floyd are far superior. In my opinion anyway, but I think music is what you prefer personally.

Thank God for that, my Eagles friend!

On a serious note, I cannot agree with your point regarding 'lyrically and musically'. Beatles lyrics in the later years of their existence (mainly Lennon) matched anything PF produced. Superior playing does not equal great output - Crazy diamond is fine once the singing comes in. Before that it's turgid. Truth be told (like all bands) they both produced superb stuff, and also rank bad stuff (Yellow submarine, and half of the White Album, I can't stand, and all the George Harrison Indian influenced stuff). But when they both got it right - different class. A bit like another of my favourite bands, Moby Grape. They produced some superlative stuff, and some merde (I dare you to try to listen to 'Just like Gene Autrey, a foxtrot' all the way through!).

And I'm still smiling in spite of our defeat today. For the best part of two hours tomorrow, I'm a ManUre fan!!!

Now talking about Eagles, there's a group and a half right there. One of my favourites, lets hope Man U take it to the limit!!!

wow.

that opening instrumental is likely in the top 5 of most Floyd fans' favourite moments.

those epic 4 notes...and that lush synth-strings chord in the background...

...opinions, ay?

Love Floyd. Impossible to pick a favourite album mind, as it’s akways dependant in mood. Obscured By Clouds is definitely up there though. Anyone on here listened to much Hawkwind? They have the tag of being the poor mans Pink Floyd. A lot more rough around the edges, but another great band.

Warrior at the edge of time is well worth a listen

My dads wife is friends with Roger Waters, she was in some sort of Steiner school with his daughter. Anyway, he said they could use his staffed villa on Santorini (I think, an island anyway) for a week. So they did and had an amazing time. Came home to a massive bill! They thought it was a freebie to a friend but no, it was basically a holiday rental to Rogerl!!
