Pink Floyd

How do you rate Pink Floyd?

One of the most predominant and celebrated rock bands of all time, the origins of Pink Floyd developed at Cambridge High School. Syd Barrett (b. Roger Keith Barrett, 6 January 1946, Cambridge, England; guitar/vocals), Roger Waters (b. 9 September 1944, Great Bookham, Cambridge, England; bass/vocals) and David Gilmour (b. 6 March 1944, Cambridge, England; guitar/vocals) were pupils and friends there.

Floyd Pink

Pink Floyd is by far my favorite British supergroup. I have a decent collection of tapes and CDs, mostly pre-split days. I've been to 2 concerts, and had a great time at both. I saw the movie "The Wall" the first week it was released in the theaters (had to lie my way in as I was legally underage at the time).

One thing most folks don't know is the origin on their name. It comes from 2 old blues greats, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council.

Great group, Pink Floyd. Sufficiently odd, politically incorrect, and with great lyrics and music. I miss the "old days" of classic rock n' roll...

Floyd Pink

I think Pink Floyd is an OK band though have a few flaws. I think all of their songs sounded a lot alike in albums such as Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall. They use a little too much synthesizer for my taste. Syd Barret sang with too little emotion and it bored me listening too it. The sound effects they put in just about every song got annoying also.

There were better British rock bands out there, many of which were part of the British Invasion (e.g. The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones).

And I've got tickets! Hooray!

For those that don't know, the recipients of tickets were chosen by lottery The tickets are free.

To enter the lottery, you had to send a text (cost £1.50) with the answer to a simple question to win one of about 150,000 pairs of tickets. My fiancee sent about 16 texts and she won.

So on Saturday July 2nd, I'll be watching Pink Floyd live in Hyde park, along with all these grat names.

You are so lucky!

I remember back in 1989, before the romanian revolution, The Wall was a huge hit among the romanian teenagers and also the intellectuals. My personal favorite is "Learning to fly".

My favorite Pink Floyd album would have to Welcome to the machine, I know shine on you crazy diamond takes up most of the album, but there is little gem of a song on there called Wish You Were Here, I love that song, I always drift away when I'm listening to it.
Not a huge fan of Dark Side of the Moon, I get irritated when I'm listening to it.
