i don't get the big deal with pink floyd. maybe i need to listen to more of their songs. i've listened to "dark side of the moon" after so many people saying they listen to that song while tripping and i didn't get it.

you mean that album? it's one of the greatest musical albums..Pink Floyd is not for everyone though.

Originally posted by Slylee i firmly believe that Pink Floyd is the reason for my love of music in general because when my mom was pregnant with me, she used to put big headphones on her belly and play them for me. i am privy to mint guitar samples in house music, i think it's because of that too.

holy fuck me too

and i love house music with guitar samples

They may not seem like a big deal now, but at the time they came onto the music scene they were extremely innovative.

their music still sounds fresh imo, it's timeless.

It's truely an album you cannot get by listening to it once, or even a few times. Theres a lot going on that you just don't hear or understand the first few times you listen to it. It's even more interesting once you look up the themes and concepts behind the album.

Yeah, lots of people think it's over-rated just because it sold so many copies and has been talked about to death but at least when it came out (and still is to me)it was a revolutionary piece of music.

Well, I think DSOTM was the album that was pioneer in a sense that it ushered in the era of "electronic" rock. The synthesizer use on the album was sublime and for the first time the synths were featured front and center of the composition. They took on the lead, backing, FX, and just about every other niche within the audio field of the song.

The album is complex and takes few listens to understand the meaning. I hate to be a snob but in order to experience the full awesomeness of the album, you have to experience it live. I was priviledged to have witnessed it live, alas performed by Roger Waters - not the actual original band but even then, I could feel the music. Mind you, I was disguistingly sober and considering the psychodelic nature of the PF music, I may have missed a dimension that was originally intended, yet it was terrific nonetheless.

Pink Floyd were probably original pioneers of "trance rock". There are not that many bands that can be safely called that but I wouldn't call them by any other classification. Pink Floyd is not just rock - it is an experience in every song. If there were aliens sent to our planet to bring beauty and sound together, Pink Floyd would most certainly be on the very top of my "list of suspects".

Enjoy it and let your mind absorb it and envelope you, it will certainly open your inner eye to something other-dimensional.
