So, I've been on a Floyd kick lately, and while listening, I remembered a long-abandoned PF thread that used to be, years ago, one of the most active in B&C. So I've found it and (after reading all 37 pages of it last night - yes, I have too much time on my hands) bumped it in an attempt to generate some Floyd discussion.
I'll just say that I've been enjoying, in particular, some of their most epic tracks - Atom Heart Mother, Echoes, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Dogs, etc. Hell, you could include DSOTM in that list if you think of it as one big, uber-epic 43-minute piece, though not everybody does. There's a whole lot of music out there, but there's nothing quite like these Floyd epics. I could listen to them over and over.
What I don't understand is why AHM isn't as 'loved' as the others. The band themselves - at least Gilmour and Waters - apparently hate it(although Gilmour joined an orchestra on stage for a performance of it a few years ago, so you never know), and there was some negative reaction to it here when I included it on one of my desert island lists. It's one of my very favorites. The last two, two and a half minutes is one of the most epic things I've heard on a rock record.
Anyway, I'll finish with a top 10:
1. Atom Heart Mother
2. Echoes
3. Dogs
4. Shine On You Crazy Diamond
5. Brain Damage
6. Comfortably Numb
7. Wish You Were Here
8. Any Colour You Like
9. On The Turning Away
10. Sheep(or Time, or...this is too hard)
Also, if I haven't yet heard Saucerful Of Secrets, More, Ummagumma, Obscured By Clouds, or The Division Bell, where should I start?
