Re: First Floyd Experience

Im 18 and of course a big floyd fan. I remember being a young boy probably 5 or 6 and my dad would play The Wall alot, that being my first real encounter with their music. Just interested to know how everyone else got to know them?

Re: First Floyd Experience

The first time I really started listning to PF was when I saw PULSE on video. From that day everything changed. None of my closed friends or parents have ever listen much to PF. But everyone had heard ABITW part 2 before, but who hasn't. And in about 2 hours I'm off to London to see David Gilmour. Lucky me!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: First Floyd Experience

Always remeber liking ABITW 2 but never knowing who it was by. And then one night I was at a party and a few musician friends (this was at about 4:30 am) decided to go through the hosts record collection and pulled out DSOTM and since then there has been no going back.

cheers

Re: First Floyd Experience

i remember when i wore my dad's dark side t shirt to school and my friend made fun of me cuz i didnt kno any songs by them. i was like, money is cool, isnt it? lol, ahh those were the days when rage against the machine was the only band that meant anything to me, i still love them but my musical horizons are huge. it ranges from jazz and bluegrass to the occasional system of a down and rage against the machine

Re: First Floyd Experience

I remember dancing round a table in my Mum's restaurant to ABITW2. I was 5 or 6.

Cheers,

Mark

Re: First Floyd Experience

Well, i heard ABitW2 when I was about 9 or 10 and (of course! )I liked it.

After some years, at my birthday party, a friend gave me a CD with a cow on the cover, and I listened to it...

The rest is history!

Re: First Floyd Experience

I head DSOTM by some random chance of a friend who had brought it over.

I head the first song and i knew that i'd be mad for f***ing years -- and also a huge PF fan.

Wish You Were Here soon followed.

Re: First Floyd Experience

I had heard some Floyd on the radio (ABITW, CN, WYWH, Money) before this time, but I became a PF fan last spring when I was 18. I had just gone through a tough strech of work with my classes at college, and I felt like I was going mad. Enter DSOTM. My roommate downloaded an mpeg file from a friend with Dark Side as the audio and the first 43 minutes of Wizard of Oz as the video (the infamous synch). I was blown away by the music, and I've been hooked on the Floyd ever since.

Re: First Floyd Experience

I remember that some years ago a group of guys in our classroom kept singing ABITW (pt. 2), it was like their anthem. Then I decided to hear it at home (my father owns "The Wall"). I liked the song, the whole album and all the other Floyd albums my father had. I still do... And I have bought some other albums since then.

Re: First Floyd Experience

I was 14 when I heard High Hopes on the radio when the PULSE tour was going, went and got myself the CD a year later. I knew ABITW2 before but it didn't impress me much. Actually I saw The Wall movie when I was 7 I think, being a jewish boy I thought it was a movie about the holocaust and Bob Geldof really scared me off with the eyebrows shaving thing (hey I was 7...), so PF recieved a bad conatation on my part.

I was 14 and I heard Delicate Sound... LP that was just released in Russia. I heard it on my schoolmate's birthday.
