First PF

Much out of plain curiosity and a simple tendency to try out something new, i have decided to post a thread asking a simple question: What was the first album that you (the reader) purchased and what was it about it that engulfed you into the world of Pink Floyed (i.e. perticular song, style, etc).

I believe it was actually Echoes I heard first, which I loved. But my first purchase was Dark Side, which I loved even more. Works was soon to follow, I believe. I think the first time I heard "Breathe" I was in love. Songs like Echoes and Shine On cemented me into Floydian obsession that was a good question, by the way

I got 'DSotM' first, followed by 'WYWH', followed by 'Animals', followed by 'virtually everything I could lay my hands on.' I'd heard a lot of Floyd on the radio over the years, and I think it was the barely audible muttering on the DSotM tracks that first intrigued me--- and some brave DJ in San Diego played all 14 minutes of SOYCD 1-5, with which I was enthralled. When I got DSotM I experienced the "Aha!" syndrome and realized all those songs I'd been hearing on the radio actually fit together. It was neato.

that definitely sounds neato
i think for some reason discovering music backwards, chronologically speaking (that one finds a band that's say thirty years old and researches them from one point on) makes music more enjoyable, almost because it's very personal in a sense...like they made themselves known just to you. I don't know, could just be, call me crazy but, seriously don't, that would hurt my feelings j/k

Crazy.

aww...




















...okay, I'm over it

Yes, i must agree with what you have said previously. It is especially true for me, being born only in '86 in russia (later moving to canada). I only discovered the group thanks my dad and not way one might get pressured from one of your peers to like a group, but as an independant journey. And, strangely enough, the first album was also DSotM (quite a trend). From that moment i tried to collect them all, starting from AHM. (those wacky cows!)

First song i heard was another brick in the wall part 2 and i was hooked lol

See Thread called first experience

Where the hell is Byron to politely explain the duplicate thread problem?

This thread asks the question what was the first ALBUM that was purchased! (and plus, i would like cirtain people in here to get off my back, since this is a new thing for me)

Sorry. I didn't notice you were new. I'm not on your back, man. Honest. That's why I used smilies. I just happened to be here. Welcome!

I'm just kidding
Unless I'm serious

certain people? thats a bit general.

It would be simpler if we all got ON his back; that way he could tell us ALL to get off.

I now formaly take back my "certain people" statement as to put at ease those "certain people"

oh i'm sure they didn't care too much.
