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?

the first song i remember hearing and recognizing who it was is welcome to the machine. i really started getting into them when i burned a pink floyd mix for my dad and i found out my friend was really into them so i got dark side and built from there.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

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

I bought dsotm without ever hearing pf's music. i heard it was good so i got it. i heard it, and now ive got them all. i was 13.

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

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

Cheers,

Mark

I Remember when My Older Brother Came to me , Sat me down, and Played me a cassette of DSOTM.
I was 12. I listened and I've been hoocked ever since.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

My dad would play Darkside, when I was a youngster and I loved all Time and Money.

I was 14 and I heard Delicate Sound... LP that was just released in Russia. I heard it on my schoolmate's birthday.
I got hooked IMMEDIATELY !!! The first seconds of Shine On... got me...!
It was fantastic. Still is.
