A special question about Pink Floyd (oh yes)

"Time"

My favourite Floyd period is from dark side to the final cut

Out of that period favourite albums "the Wall" and "Animals" which I always thought was very under rated by the critics

Never really got on with Final cut

It didn't seem to me Floyd at all but maybe I'm too thick to get the meaning in the lyrics

Good guitar but not the best

to me it was all the tracks that weren't good enough for the Wall or Roger's ego wanting to make something similar to the wall

Just my HO . Quite happy to be. Educated further

Sparkey

Your correct more of a Roger Waters album with PF as session musicans

I am sure some of the tracks where written for the wall, but not all of them, the final cut is about the Falklands War / anti war / his fathers death in WW II

Notables on this album - a rare single release from "PF"- "not now John" and an excellent guitar solo on "the Fletcher memorial"

I didn't like it originally, but it grows on you, most certainly not in the same league as an album as say The Wall or Dark side

Any song on "The delicate sound of thunder"

He asked for "Pink Floyd" songs
Some would argue PF didn't exist after Syd went nuts and was kicked out and replaced by Gilmore

Therefore using your logic dark side is not a PF album either ;)

I see your point but don't agree. Anything after Final Cut is crap IMHO.

Favorite song? oh, Corporal Clegg (Barett era but written by Waters)

Roger Waters is a very talented songwriter, of that there is no doubt, he's written some great tunes. He's also a perceptive and intelligent man, his interviews clearly show that. And his songs gave Dave Gilmour structures to create wonderful guitar solos.

Yet for me The Floyd floated most free before his influence became so dominant.....
