Meddle

What the Hell is IIRC.

But you are right it wasn't Rog who admitted to being tone-deaf. Someone else admitted it for him, as if we couldn't tell already.

By the way, I am totally terrible at everything I do, and even I randomly can sing on key at times.

IIRC is If I Remember Correctly.

The actual quote is:
"In the early days," says [Peter] Jenner, "Rick used to tune everybody's guitars. Syd couldn't be bothered-wasn't terribly good at it, but could if he had to-and Roger was rone-deaf, didn't have a clue. I never rated Roger's bass playing-no wonder he didn't like me. I never got over the fact that Roger was tone-deaf and couldn't tune his bass. He wasn't an instinctive musician like Syd" (p. 38 in paperback edition)

-Hob

I stand corrected. I should have checked the book before trying to make a statement like that from memory. My apologies.

We forgive you... right?

"Unable to tune his bass" does not equate to "tone-deaf"; he just wasn't a very good bassist.

what's wrong with seamus? It's better than a pillow of winds, well I think so any way. Echoes is awesome, I don't know about you but for a 23+ minute song it does not seem that long.

I love a Pillow of Winds, but your right Seamus isnt THAT bad, even if you don like it, you only have to deal with it for 2 minutes...

Seamus may only be 2 minutes, but it sucks. Usually if I listen to Meddle I program the tracks to skip Seamus, so I can pretend that the album is not diseased with that horrible piece of work.

Diseased? Pretty strong stuff, don't you think?

Perhaps 'infected' would be a better, less negatively connotative term.

Still, to each their own.

I was in the kitchen
Seamus, that's the dog, was outside.

Great lyrics. Somehow, they're not as...interesting as most of Rog's stuff.

Diseased, indeed. Yich.

I had it stuck in my head for so long... the fact that Roger actually decided to put that on the album.

But enough of what sucks...One of These Days. And Echoes. Both excellent songs. Fearless too. Heh.

Fearless indeed.

Meddle has always been a constant in my CD rotation. Probably the only Floyd album has. Except for More. That never has. Ha ha ha.
