Best Pink Floyd Song

[passedpawn]

Thanks to the OP for this thread! Nothing beats relaxing with Pink Floyd and a tasty homebrew!

Sure. I'm enjoying it as well!

Best Pink Floyd performance: Live 8 Reunion. It's nice to know that after 30+ years of being broken up, they could just pick up and jam with only one rehearsal like nothing ever happened. RIP Rick Wright.

My daughter (30 now) called me soon after she watched that on English TV. She was blown away and asking me for tips on any other seriously good bands from the past she should be listening to......Honestly, that is NOT supposed to happen when it comes to parents, kids and music! :rockin:

While Have a Cigar is a great "Pink Floyd" song, it was actually sung by Roy Harper, not that that lessens it at all.

....Because Water's voice was buggared at the time. An even more irrelevant footnote: Harper almost died from an infection he contracted after giving a sheep the kiss of life.

Pointless memory from years ago: I remember reading a review of a Floyd show in the early 70's. The writer said everyone in the theatre had washed their hair for this event, except David Gilmour.......It still makes me chuckle a little.

Sounds like you need to introduce her to a little jimmy page and co.

My kids usually enjoy the music I share with them. Men at Work, Euforquestra, Ella Riot, 80s rock bands in general. But they have their own music as well.

I'm not sure I've specifically subjected them to PF, but I am betting they would love it. Especially with headphones and a nice quiet place to zone out.

I might have to build a Pink Floyd beer recipe and brew it while playing all of their albums. But what kind of beer would it be??

Somewhat depressed and up it's own arse.....But when you open the bottle it would sound GREAT!

I'd do a vanilla porter, inoculate it with Brett, and call it Dark Side of the Moon. Oh wait, I have two of those going right now!

There's someone in my head, and it's not me.

Wait... WTH? That's perfect!

Thanks for the label. I was wondering what to do there.

You shout and noone seems to hear.

 

[Homercidal]

Damn. Vivant brews a beer with such a sweet label and I hate sour beers. I'd buy this just for the can though.

EDIT: Limit edition. Don't can any more of these. Might be able to get it on tap, according to their beer menu. But no can!

If I can track down more via trade and you just want an empty, I'd be happy to send you one. Or hit up Nizzle. He's probably got his recycling bin full of them.

Also, it's not really sour, at least not to me. Tart for sure, but well balanced with the roast.

Not likely to be sour - mines not. Funky though, for sure. I can't do sours any more (burnt myself out on them). But funk is great. That's what I deduce from "Farmhouse".

Wife and me danced to "wish you were here" for our wedding song.

I am waiting for that day. I serve my kids (12, 10, 4) up great music from the past five decades and they roll their eyes.

For me Floyd: Wish you Were Here, for sure. Have played this on acoustic hundreds of times in my basement (not on stage!). Great Gig in the Sky has to be my all time fav, but for new Floyd, Learning to Fly's opening roaring bass/guitar/drum lines are so powerful.

I might hack peeps off, but I could never get into Syd Barrett Floyd. Let the boos begin.

This is like answering "what is your favorite beer?". Depends on my mood, the weather, my age, and my level of intoxication. I think humidity is a factor as well.

Oh- you have never really heard Pink until you listen to the vinyl on quadraphonic headphones.

Quradraphonic headphones? If that's a real thing, I'll have to try it. I do enjoy the fade from ear to ear on headphones, but I always miss the bass in my belly.

I haven't enjoyed the early Floyd as much as the later stuff either. Some of it it interesting, but doesn't "get me" like the Gilmour stuff.

Quad headphones place separate speakers around the ear If I'm not mistaken. A friend has one for gaming and I got to try it and the sound was amazing! They were a bit pricey, and felt odd, but there was definite surround sound.

I like the good earbuds I got for portable listening, but nothing so far has taken the place of the old fashioned giant headphones my BIL used to own. Plugged into his HI-FI with EQ.

 

[Brewrifle]

'Breathe' hands down. I always seem to put that song on repeat in the evenings after a couple beers and just chill.

Thanks for the explanation!

 

[Beernik]

Always liked:
1) Wish You Were Here
2) Time
3) One of these days
4) Sheep
5) Fletcher Memorial Home

Also there is an all reggae remake of Dark Side Of The Moon. You'll either love it or hate it.

 

[brew_ny]

every time when I am brewing and my wind up alarm goes off I think of

the album Dark Side of The Moon

all the best

Learning to Fly. When I hear that song, I have to stop whatever I'm doing and just listen.

I like just about everything they put out.

 

[palys2]

I love sorrow. The guitar solo in the beginning just sucks me in.

Rather than the best floyd song, a more interesting question might be are you tired of any of them yet? I can see how that might be the case on albums up until Ummagumma or thereabouts, but seriously, I never tire of hearing any of it. It should have got old by now, surely?

I'd say Another Brick in the Wall p1 was overplayed to death.

I've never heard that on the radio pretty much ever. Seems like it's always Happiest Days of our Lives to another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2
