Dark Side of the Moon

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date August 01, 1994
Personally I'm sick and tired of people harping on about how great this album is, yeah O.K. it's not bad but there are millions of far better albums out there in all kinds of genres, check out some Drum and Bass on the Hospital Records label like "high contrast" and you will see what I mean, and no I'm not a young hoodie I'm in my forties. Sorry Pink it's too outdated now.

Wish You Were Here

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date August 01, 1994
This album is without doubt my favourite Floyd album. It has everything you need in a concept/prog rock/Floyd album. Some say its the last of the great Floyd albums, before waters took over, and it was more of waters solo work. Although Mason is never credited, his classic drumming is always there to help the flow the immense music. Again, we have a short number of tracks, but we still get a blistering 44 odd mins. With the epic that is Shine On You Crazy Diamond, the first five parts are 5 brilliant pieces of music, I think we've all heard Shine On part II (if not, look it up) with the combination of Ricks excellent Piano and Synth work, and Gilmours quite frankly perfect guitar, the first few pieces all fit together, and then we get waters lyrics, ...

The Wall

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date October 10, 1994
Pink Floyd's "The Wall" is a concept album in every sense of the word. Roger Waters was compelled to write this semi-autobiographical masterpiece after spitting in a fans face and analysing all of the events that lead up to that moment.

The album deals with a wide range of topics, including isolation, modern life, the troubles of superstardom, infidelity, drug abuse, mental illness, war, death and overbearing parents. The narrative rotates around a troubled rock star, Pink, who, due to aforementioned reasons, decides to embark upon a self-imposed mental exile. Waters uses the metaphor of a wall to illustrate this, with each contributing factor being described as just "another brick in the wall". I shall not go deeper into the narrative; I don't ...

Echoes (The Best of Pink Floyd)

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date November 05, 2001
i like this compilation as it contains most of pink floyd's classics. i'm not a big fan of them but my favorite songs are the two 1980s hits learning to fly and sorrow. then comes another brick in the wall, money, wish you were here and shine on you crazy diamond which i like better on the wish you were here album. but for classic rock fans, this is a must have!

Meddle

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date August 01, 1994
"Meddle" - the 1971 album - contains the bands signature piece "Echoes" : a massive, definitive space-rock-funk-jam that lasts about 22 minutes, is the perfect accompaniment to the end of "2001", and was undoubtedly the absolute, brain-mashing highlight of 2006's David Gilmour Tour : seeing it performed by the ersatz version of the Floyd - containing 2/3rds of the final touring lineup - on his 2006 tour, assaulted by lasers and smoke in the confines of the Royal Albert Hall was one of the musical highlights of my life. Nonetheless, we're getting off track : "Meddle" is a great record that is the first foreshadowing of the creative heights the band will achieve. A fine record worth buying.

Dark Side of the Moon - 30th Anniversary Edition

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date March 31, 2003
I really don't think Dark Side Of The Moon is worthy of the bated breath, awed whispers, feet kissing and general brown nosing that's vested on it.

Granted there are 3 excellent tracks:- Breath In The Air, Time and Brain Damage. But the rest rate from average; such as On The Run and Money to downright boring; with Any Colour You Like and The Great Gig In The Sky.

The Wall and Wish You Were Here beats DSOTM hands down

Animals

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date July 25, 1994
What more could you want. I read once that this was the end of all Floyd as we know it. How wrong can you get! As I'm writing this I'm listening to it, and believe me when I tell you this album does not disappoint. Ok, it might not be as good as Dark Side, Wish You Were Here or The Wall, but its in no way a bad record; and its on record where you really get the beauty of it. A cd is still good, but you don't have the raw-ness of the original format they released it to. Anyway the music: admittedly, looking at the lengths, dogs might be a little too long, and have an unnecessarily long bridge, but that's what Floyd are all about. Dogs just goes to show what a writing partnership of Gilmour/Waters can produce. And this being the only song on the album not written entirely by Waters, ... Read More:

Relics

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date February 26, 1996
Covering the period 1967 to 1971, 'Relics' was originally released to capitalise on the success of the 'Atom Heart Mother' album. It now stands as the perfect introduction to the band's early work (alongside 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn') for those who only know 'Dark Side of the Moon' or 'The Wall'. A selection of tracks from the early LPs are presented alongside the two big Syd Barrett period singles 'Arnold Layne' and 'See Emily Play' not included on albums of the time. For fans, 'Biding My Time' is not available anywhere else, and 'Julia Dream' and this version of 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene' are only otherwise available on 'The Early Singles' disc available only in the 'Shine On' box set.

But what about the music? If you only know Floyd's later work, the sound may be something ... Read More:

The Division Bell

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date March 30, 1994
This isn't just my favourite Floyd album but my favourite album of all time. If it was vinyl I would have worn it out years ago. I don't even know who Roger Waters is/was and his presence could not have improved this superb CD.
Sure, old Floyd stuff is good but this is their best.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason

by: Pink Floyd

Release Date September 07, 1987
So Roger Waters threw the toys out of the pram and spat out his dummy. Who the hell cares? He went on to have a successful solo career and jolly good luck to him.

But to then say, oh well Pink Floyd is no longer in existence and this is a Gilmour solo album, under the name of Pink Floyd, is frankly infantile. This is David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright and they are as much the essence of Pink Floyd as Roger Waters ever was. Oh and by the way if Roger Waters was so damn sure that Floyd could not exist without him, why did he take such trouble to exclude Rick Wright and draw up legal papers preventing him from ever rejoining the group? Perhaps because he recognised, as anyone with a semblence of wits should, that great groups are not simply the product of one individual. The Floyd survived Syd Barrett ... Read More:
