Pink floyd roxxorz J00r Boxxorz
 

You know ive heard of these guys before, ive seen their live DVD and loved it but was always to lazy to DL their songs

SO today i just DLed like 10 songs and im obsessed with them now.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII II HAVE BECOME
CONFORTBLY
NUMB

i assume you're just talking about Pink Floyd? yeah, they kick hella ass

Comfortably Numb is the most booorrrrrring song, but I guess that's the point, LOL. Wish You Were Here is great, though, along with others.

Tried to get into em, couldn't. The only album that i kind of like is Dark side of the moon.

I love Comfortably Numb!! And good on ya, X, for finding Floyd. They do indeed rock.

Give The Wall a try, Dek. If the opener doesn't have you air guitaring, you have no soul!

Or better yet, some live stuff. I have Delicate Sound of Thunder at work and it's just an amazing experience.

Pink Floyd are probably one of the more underated classic rock bands. Basically every prog band (indeed every I would suggest) owes a great debt to floyd. While bands like The Beatles probably receive too much praise, Floyd remain underated. I do like the cover of Another Brick in the Wall featuring Layne Staley and Tom Morello amongst others which featured in The Faculty.

I LOVED Roger Waters/Eric Clapton's acoustic version of Wish You Were Here on the Tsunami telethon. Best performance of the entire show. Definitley check out The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon.

That one is worse. ( I have it)

I love songs when they actually play, like Money or Time.

Pink Floyd is the most OVERrated prog bands ever.

Some underrated Prog rocks bands would be Yes, The moody Blues and King Crimson.

I'd say my fav Floyd songs include:
Another Brick in the Wall (Pt. 2)
Hey You
Money
Sorrow
Comfortably Numb

I wouldn't necessarily call 'em overrated. I'll agree, Dek, those bands you mentioned are underrated, esp King Crimson. But Floyd's sweet. Roger Waters' writing and David Gilmour's guitar solos: awesome. They were one of the first Prog-Rock bands and most certainly one of the best.

I think, in another thread, I've mentioned my faves before. But here they are again:
ELO
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Kansas
Pink Floyd
Queensrÿche
Rush
Styx
Yes

almost forgot to add "Wish You Were Here" to my list of fav Floyd songs!

Oh, Velvet Revolver's cover of Money is pretty damn good. Check it out

i have... i prefer the original

Pink Floyd, is....amazing
Comfortably Numb as has always been one of my favorites, since i was a akid.
That and is there anybody out there?
Wonderful band, certainly not like death metal speed or anything, yes, very slow, but also very good....
The Wall (esp. Disc 2), Dark Side of the Moon, and also Animals, all very good.

Maybe, but VR's version is still pretty good...

Other songs i love are Welcome to the machine and Shine on you crazy Diaond (the 17 minute song)

Floyd were the first prog band though and probably still the best although I do have a soft spot for Tool nowadays.

Yeah, all 7 parts, lol

Its all opinion.....Listen to Yes and then to Tool. Yes owns them on almost every level except maybe lyrics.

how bout drumming? carey can be mentioned alongside bonham, keith moon you name it IMO.

Yeah, I just thought about that, even though the drummers for Yes are pretty badass. You are right.

Tool to me is the greatest prog band ever. Before Tool my music tastes were somewhat mainstream. Through them I have been opened up to so many different bands and music genres.

That's what Yes did for me :D
