Who likes Pink Floyd?

[Gary-ET]

Who likes Pink Floyd, because i am a major fan and would like to know other fans that are about. Cheers Gary ET

[mccfluff]

money, comf numb are two of my fave's amongst others, the live 8 performance topped my summer off last year (unfortunatly wasn't there but watched on tv)

[southerngirl]

Thank God for that. I thought I was alone.

Love The Final Cut, Echoes, DS of the Moon (espcially Time). In my humble opinion they are the best band ever, no-one can touch them ! Been a fan for over 30 years now and whenever I mention that I think they are brilliant, I get very odd looks, like I've just escpaed from a secure unit!!

[Whickerman]

They were great - really great - but only after Sid Barret left.

[WaldoMcFroog]

I can't entirely agree with that, Whickerman. Some of the Syd stuff's great - See Emily Play is a great song by anyone's standards. Bike maybe less so...

Meddle through The Wall are all great though!

[andy-hughes]

I ADORE Pink Floyd with a passion! they are the second-best 'live' band I've ever seen (after Springsteen) and as a music writer, I've seen a lot!

I've seen them eight times - first on the DSOTM tour in 1974, last time when the seating collapsed at Earls Court, and i had to come back the next week - involving a second 320-mile round trip in a few days - but worth it of course.

I interviewd Guy Pratt who plays (played?) bass for Floyd on stage a month ago, he was such a nice guy.

[mccfluff]

oh andy-hughes i am so jealous i was supposed to go to earls court but my mother decided to get married and i had to go to malaysia instead and gave my tickets away (poor me) mind you seeing as the seating collapsed.....

[swamp duck]

I am also a huge Pink Floyd fan, have been for about 25yrs. I saw them in Earls Court and it was the best concert I have ever been too.
My fav album is Animals and The Wall

[loukr]

I love pink floyd. after spending my entire childhood listening to them (dad loves them!) it just reminds me of that, i'm only young but my number one passion is music! xx

[Hiss]

been listening to Floyd for the last 20+ years, (since my mid teens) and i've not looked back. Wish You Were Here is my fave and the ultimate stoner album, whilst The Wall is one hell of a story with The Final Cut a slight but brilliant continuation of it. probably the best live band i've seen too. over their years somethings have been a bit dodgy, but never anything bad. like them or not, any fool who says they're crap truely doesn't know about music.

[Wispy68]

I LOVE Pink Floyd. One of these days (haha), I'm gong to own the whole Pink Floyd collection, as I only have about seven of their albums.
I grew up listening to them, as my Dad thought they were great and I've inheritted his great taste in music!
There was a great David Gilmour interview on Radio 4 the other day. You can still hear it on Listen Again, on the website.

[UKbloke04]

Yep they are one of my favourite groups.
Love Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here albums,but my persoanl favourite is Animals album (Dogs is my favourite track).
Also saw them at Earls Court in 94...awsome concert..probably the best i have ben to so far

[maxximus]

roger waters, absolute musical genius!

[Gary-ET]

Thankyou so much people!! didnt expect such an audience!!! Im only 20 and ive been listening to Pink Floyd since i was about 11/12!!! Started collecting to 12" LP's I got Dark Side Of The Moon, Meddle, The Wall (US Import), Wish You Were Here so I have made a good start. Keep supporting Floyd, as you never know, they may tour one more Time. Thanks again and ROCK ON
Gary ET

[johnizere]

ok...no band comes close to Floyd for me, having been a fan since I first saw them in 1970, a support band for Fairport Convention (who?)...
I was never lucky enough to see them perform live again, but managed to get to Wembley to see Roger Waters "In The Flesh" tour, which was surely the ultimate concert for me.
There is a tribute band doing the rounds, called Think Floyd, they're probably the nearest thing you'll get to the real deal..superb musicians, note for note, etc.,etc. (go to www.thinkfloyd.net for info).

[raymond 42]

Hi gary,
just read your question, all those replys has made my day,
i am a big floyd fan,my fav albun d.s.o.t.m my very favourite track, US AND THEM.nice to know that there is stil so many people who appreciate good music,
my wife can not see why i like them though.
But why would she when she likes stuff like FOSTER & ALLEN. HUM?

[devilhunter]

The Floyd are my all time favourite band.Seen them live 5 times but my first concert at Wembley Stadium in I think 85 or 86 (MLOR tour) was a turning point in my musical life and one I will never forgot.

Awesome awesome awesome !
