Cumbum Superthread

I still think if the Magic and Celtics meet in the playoffs, the Magic have a legit chance of beating them. They match up quite well.

I wouldn't rule out any of the top four teams.

 

[phanan]

He sent me Piper, so that'll be what I go for next unless I receive something else before I download Piper tomorrow.

Piper is a good album, but it's totally unlike any of the classic Floyd you've already been listening to, and some people don't care for it. It's more psychedelic than anything else.

This is because the focus is around original member Syd Barrett instead.

He sent little opinion things with each track, so we'll see.

He speaketh the truth twice. I'd wait to listen to this one, though.

Apparently my Meddle suggestions are off?

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm down with Meddle or The Wall.

 

[phanan]

Apparently my Meddle suggestions are off?

No, Meddle is a near-classic in my eyes. Seamus is a throwaway, and San Tropez isn't much but the other four tracks should be included whenever there is a discussion on the best of Floyd. Absolutely essential.

That was a bit too much Morrissey for me, but the rest of your playlist was so good that you were able to hold onto my vote.

At least for that round.

 

[phillyfan26]

It's kind of remarkable hearing these tracks with really no prior knowledge or hearing of them. All PF talk before this was a total wash due to my lack of knowledge. It's really easy to form my opinions without much of anyone else's involved.

And it will actually be quite refreshing to hear someone's thoughts on it who hasn't had any knowledge of them previously.

You won't be influenced by the tons and tons of words already written about them.

 

[phillyfan26]

I honestly didn't get too much out of the title track of WYWH, to be honest. I mean, it's pretty good, but not nearly one of their best, IMO.

Screwtape will be glad to hear that.

It's not your conventional song, despite its popularity. Waters had no intention of it being a song. The lyrics come from a poem he wrote. If my memory is correct, one day Gilmour read it, thought they would make great lyrics, and composed the music to it.

Quite the backwards way of creating a song, but it works. And hearing the song on the radio, and then playing along with it, was used to great effect...

 

[phillyfan26]

My favorite track of each of the three:

DSOTM: Time (2nd: Us and Them)
WYWH: Shine On You Crazy Diamond I-V (2nd: VI-IX)
Animals: Pigs (Three Different Kinds) (2nd: Sheep/Dogs tied)

I would love you forever. We should make a conscious effort to make certain posters explode.

No, Meddle is a near-classic in my eyes. Seamus is a throwaway, and San Tropez isn't much but the other four tracks should be included whenever there is a discussion on the best of Floyd. Absolutely essential.

I forgot about Seamus for whatever reason, but still enjoy San Tropez. Yeah, the other four are fucking astounding.

Oh I am.

Pigs is a great song. I'm glad you appreciated it.

 

[LMP]

Pigs is my least favorite of the Big 3 from Animals. Sheep, however, is pure bliss.

Gibby linked me vid of Sheep against the beginning of Saving Private Ryan a while back. It was awesome.

DI5 is going to be completely fucked up.

 

[Axver]

G'day all.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hey Axver


The completely non-ironic cover of my DI5 list:

Paragraph coming soon.

 

[phillyfan26]

It just hit me: Why isn't Axver's favorite Bowie song not I'm Afraid of Americans? Think about it: It's a metal-sounding song. Plus, look at the title.

 

[Axver]

LM, what happened to This Is Temperance?

 

[Axver]

It just hit me: Why isn't Axver's favorite Bowie song not I'm Afraid of Americans? Think about it: It's a metal-sounding song. Plus, look at the title.

All I know about that song is Bono snippeted it once in Discotheque.

So have you listened to Earthling?

 

[LemonMelon]

LM, what happened to This Is Temperance?

This is Temperance is a fake album title, not the actual playlist title.

 

[phillyfan26]

So have you listened to Earthling?

No, I just know that song from Best of Bowie.

I don't have Earthling.

 

[Axver]

This is Temperance is a fake album title, not the actual playlist title.

Ooh, right. Sorry, I just dragged myself out of bed and didn't wake up.

I suppose I shouldn't complain, as Ali's probably even more stupidly tired than I am.

 

[Screwtape2]

No, I just know that song from Best of Bowie.

I'd send you Earthling but most of the songs are too big to be sent as attachments.

I can download from hosting sites now, too.
