New blood on the block

Hi, I'm new to this board. I've been listening to Pink Floyd for a few months now, and love their music. I must admit that I didn't always like them. I thought they were too psychedelic for me. Then I started to listen to some of the songs after Syd's departure. Songs like ABITW Pt. 2, Wish You Were Here and Brain Damage/Eclipse. That was when I realized they were good. First album I bought was A Momentary Lapse Of Reason and it blew my mind away. David Gilmore is one of the best guitar players/song writers I have ever hear. But my favorite album is The Division Bell. The sound is beyond anything I could even imagine. That's where my screen name came from, my favorite song from that album. Sorry this post is so long, I just wanted to give a little of my Pink Floyd background.

you've not yet seen the meaning of a long post.

I also think "Division Bell" is one of the best Floyd CDs - the live show was incredible as well! Another favorite of mine is Gilmour's first solo release.

You should see some of the posts people put up when they think it's important to argue over stupid things.

Hear, hear! Well said

Perhaps, if I can find the appropriate links, I could steer him/her to one of those wonderful 'discussions' on a popular album (B-Bell) by a band that calls itself Pink Floyd...

im hearring what youre saying HighHopes. too find that division bell is one of my favourite cds, but apart from a few highlights i think AMLoR is utter ******* (insert your favourite expletive here). i welcome you to the boards.

hi!MLOR and DD is pretty good but I think that the pychedelic days were good(like all the other days).I'm also a newbie!

hey, what i said was my opinion, were all entitled to our own, no matter how wrong ures are, the early stuff is wesome and DB is awesome but AMLoR is almost as bad as non floyd.

VV

welcome man...its nice to hear ur other floyd fan always..emm i'll like to sugget u to listen more of retro floyd stuff like Apple and oranges , Paintbox or where u can see syd barret with his bizaare <as they appear to me > lyrics..its really joy to listen em

paintbox is actually a rick wright song but I don't know about apples and oranges.I think david gilmour should realease the early singles album on it's own rather than having to buy the whole shine on box set to get it.*mutters to self*if only I had his email address.......anyway welcome,again to the forums.

youre not alone with that sentiment.

VV

there must be someway we can talk to him,beacuse I remeber seeing people sending questions to rick wright on a site I went on.oh,well I can always live in hope.

You should try looking on eBay for the cd, if you're registered there. A lot of people sell the cd seperate frojm the box set. The last time I checked, the going rate was around $9.00.

thanks,I hope they still have it on ebay.co.uk beacause it's gonna be difficult to buy something with dollars seeing as I live in wales anyway thanks!
