Meddle


They just seemed to lose their edge after that...Went kinda artsy and soft.

Best they ever did was Piper...That Sid was genious..

My fav is Meddle as well.  Echoes is a masterpiece in it's own right.  

SirLoin, if you like Piper.  Try and get the Mono Edition.  It "showcases" Syd's guitar work more than the usual Stereo version.  If you can't find it, I can burn it for you.  

They still are my fav band otherwise.

Piper and Saucer were both great, but I agree, Meddle is the best.

I dunno, Dark Side of the Moon has always been my favorite. Maybe because I listened to it wearing headphones while riding my motorcycle across the Mojave Desert in February of '79. Comfortably Numb at 90mph, the road rising and falling beneath me, warm wind in my face... :cool:
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Agreed

I always liked Time and Any Color you Like from Dark Side of the Moon.  

Comfortably numb is always a classic, have both albums.

Went to see a laser show at the Imax theater in St Louis once done to Floyd music.  Wow.

D'OH! :) Anyway, it was DSOTM I was listening to. Which cut is it that has the chick singing like she's having an orgasm? It was almost hypnotic listening to it.

Rode my bike from Ft. Worth to Seattle via California returning from leave. Rained almost the whole trip except for that stretch thru the Mojave.  The best part of the whole trip.

The Wall is one of my least favorite Floyd songs. It was played to death just like Clapton's Cocaine. I just got sick of hearing it.

eh...dark side of the moon hands down, it beat mj's thriller in record sales i think last years. allan parsons was the producer, tales and imaginations of edgar allan poe was a great album.
