I like this PinkAndersen guy.

Yeah I must admit I don't have much of an issue with him. He's never actually personally insulted anyone...just not being sickeningly nice to everyone 100% of the time!!!

this has nothing to do with me, Pedge, why I may or may not be a pricke, the Floyd, etc...but I gotta ask: why are there so many Aussies on this forum? Is it because this website originates down under, or are there simply that many Floyd fans in Australia?

Don't know PinkA? I guess the Floyd have a pretty big fanbase down here, but we have no means of showing it, (gigs etc). I guess like alot of people we look to the web for the same interests?? I see this website as having the cream of the crop in terms of Pf fans who have access to computers. Out lets say 3 billion people around the world who could be PF fans, 500 are here so they are the people who have taken time to fine a PF community on the web. Ironically for me, i became a PF fan while overseas, WYWH was the only decent album i could fine in my Dad's collection and well...i havent looked back. Cheers mate.

And please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this site originates from Brazil, and the venerable Paulo Dallagnol, not "down under" though parts of Brazil may very well be antipodean.

Going back to the "floydian" debate i just wanted to mention something. I can't recall where i read it but i remember reading somewhere that when the 3 remaining members got back together to make a momentary lapse of reason they were very concerned with making it sound "floydish", probobly to lessen the sting of roger being gone for the fans. So in my opinion if the members of pink floyd aknowledge the existence of a "floydian" sound, who are we to dissagree with that?

Maybe, if they just concentrated on making good music, instead of a "floydian" album, it would have turned out better.

-On the Floydian sound-

I've always thought (well, actually I've never thought about it, but anyway) that what is and is not Floydian is a highly personal distinction. All of us here, no matter how self-indulgent in WYWH, have our own seperate and different definitions of what the Floydian sound feels & sounds like. What I'm getting at is that to try to have a public discussion over what the Floydian sound is, and which groups/songs fall into that category, is basically pointless because a debate of so many differed opinions will always end up in conflict (see Court Case No. 6578333, PinkAnderson vs. Everybody :smile Take this for example: I think Coldplay, Travis, and Radiohead are very similar in texture and mood to the Floyd. Well, yes, I think everyone can agree on that, but on the other hand, can we really say that they are accurate representations of the "Floydian sound?" No, I think not. In the words of Dennis Miller, "But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong."

-On The Floydian Sound In Relation To DG's First Solo Album-

Well, to compare and contrast the two would make a hypocrite, wouldn't it? Yes. Gilmour's first solo outing is more of a straightforward rock record, rawer, and more driving than much of the Floyd catalog. Now, let's take some time out here to consider something:

Dave Gilmour plays guitar for Pink Floyd. Dave Gilmour sings for Pink Floyd. Is it really possible for his solo stuff not to be in the least bit similar to what he does with PF?

More power to you if you have a reasonable explanation for a "yes" answer. I just think that every musician has a certain essence to his/her sound. That essence just increases with talent and perfection.

in terms of sounding Floydian, well i think there are bands that can, muscians that can, some even before Floyd was around like Miles Davis and John Coltrane. While no band will ever have the same sound as the Floyd, i think a Floydian sound should be defined as a band that has their own very very distinct sound that cannot be matched, once you have found that then it is "Floydian".


and oh wow an arguement that for the first time in a while didn't contain myself, Thorin, and Gerald "the Social pyscopath" mouse. for a reference check this out

On the issue of BOTH the Floyd sound...and the making of Momentary Lapse...Gilmour says:

"I steered those things (About Face) away from the Pink Floyd because...I don't know why, I just felt like doing that at the time. But there's nothing within the Pink
Floyd sound that I don't like. I'm not faking or having to do anything any
different to do a Pink Floyd record. And we never sat down and said, "God, this (Momentary Lapse) doesn't sound Pink Floyd enough--- let's do this to make it sound more Pink Floyd."

So there!

Ok, AMLOR did sound like Floyd, but it was mediocre Floyd. TDB sounded like Floyd,bad Floyd. But the prob is, no one Floyd album sounds like another, so what is Floyd?
