Pink Floyd . If we lived in an alternate world where there was no Beatles or Led Zeppelin, Floyd would be the greatest band ever to come from the U.K. Some would say they are anyway . Opinions . I love Pink Floyd They with Yes got me into Prog and that an album was more than just a few songs thrown together they were .. Floyd albums . The Wall , Darkside , Animals , The Final Cut . Masterpieces in the form of Concept . I hope we can go into wonderful detail of what Floyd albums are about . Pink Floyd may be gone forever but they have left us with some of the greatest albums ever made . Lets talk Floyd !
Here is a great unreleased track to kick off the thread

I used to go to a cafe in Manchester in the mid-Sixties, which had a jukebox. I remember listening to "See Emily Play" many times. Great track, likewise "Arnold Lane" I know those early records were different to what came later, but I still rate them. As I write this, I'm listening to "Comfortably Numb" PF have created so much superb music, and Dave Gilmour is a guitar great.

His solo stuff I always found hilarious but as I got older and learned more about mental illness, i realised that those records were the sound of someone breaking down. His career was so short!!!

Here is a great unreleased track to kick off the thread I remember having the Harvest sampler 'Picnic' and the track 'Embryo' was released on it. I think it was on nothing else at the time. A great band as you say, they don't come along too often.

Floyd never seem to get credit as a live band .
As with Embryo and other early live recordings of the band and of course the Pompeii performance show what a great band Floyd were live . And this fantastic Video of the band from Atlanta 73 really makes me gutted that I missed out on the early Floyd .

Got to admit, I never rated the Syd Barrett era Floyd. I've never understood why he's so highly revered.

I`m with you with Barrett Mr Musty . I don`t think Floyd would have the success they did with him as the main writer and frontman The best thing that happened to Floyd was that Roger (God like ) Waters stepped up to the plate ...And did`nt he deliver .

Record Store Day 2018 And it`s Pipers At The Gates Of Dawn Picked up a copy from my local record shop today, a fan of Syd of course. The debate whether Pink Floyd would have been as successful if Syd had not destroyed himself is always a good question. 'Piper at the gates of dawn' got to number 6 in the album charts, 'Arnold Layne' got to number 20 in the singles chart and 'See Emily play' got to number 6 in the singles chart so there was a bit of evidence Syd was a contributing factor in their success.
