shit, didn't realise he had died, what a legend, hard to accept he's really dead, Pink Floyd have been such a continuous part of my life.
What's everyones fav floyd song?
'Time' for me
Well i think that would be difficult to say one track, my favourite album is Wish you where here, I even have a gold disc of it.
Theres so many old ones that people have not really heard either.
See Emily play
interstella overdrive
set the controls for the heart of the sun
a sauceful of secrets
arnold layne
careful with that axe eugene
time
one of these days
echoes
us and them
mother
comfortable numb
these are just a few in my mind, I need to turn the cd player on now i think
A very, very sad day. Saw Floyd so many times and never tire from listening to them. Bought the records, rocked at the gigs, got the T Shirts and the dream lives on and on and on. R.I.P. Rick, love ya forever.
And no-one sings me lullabies
And no-one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky.
(from the song "Echoes" off the album "Meddle")
Echoes
'One of my turns' was the first Floyd song I ever heard, still my favourite!
I was driving home, listening to 'planet rock' when the DJ announced this, he was clearly upset, and played 'great gig in the sky' as a tribute.
A great musician.
Try starting with the album
Wish You Were Here
Winch: 'Echoes' is a great place to start from 'Meddle' but make sure you have a spare 20 mins plus!
RIP Rick.
May I also suggest a browsing of the live albums P*U*L*S*E and Delicate Sound of Thunder.
PF have a rather good live sound and the shows themselves act like a Greatest Hits so give a good varied selection for the Floyd neophyte to cut their teeth on.
