OK, I agree that they had an astounding effect on your life. :)
The first Floyd set I heard all the way through was _Ummagumma_ , which was
the first full-scale psychedelic (not psychedelic pop) music I'd ever heard.
Not all of it was great, but the good stuff (particularly the live side) was
amazing.

No

And what think about the doors? Monkeys? Velvet Underground?
Twice are alternative rock, isn't it?

To me, The Wall drips with too much of what's wrong with Floyd after
Barrett. Too little humor, too overstated, too mopey. I mean they're all
millionaire rock stars with a bazillion fans, what do they have to be mopey
about? Drive that Rolls Royce in front of that abusive teacher until they're
green with envy and get over it.
Least they're not as flamboyantly pseudo-intellectual as some other Prog
Rockers.
BTW- I do have the Interstellar Overdrive MP3 on my HD. I have a comic-book
looking for a publisher named after the Camper Van Beethoven remake of that
song.

Cooooo-el.
> Monkeys?
Too pop....
>Velvet Underground?
Got the boxed set. White Light/White Heat is probably my favorite rock
LP/CD.

Alt was more fun and more inspired when it was overlooked and underrated,
back in the '80s ands '70s. Now you have "alt" stations playing the same 20
"alt" songs off this week's "alt" chart.
DGH
I agree, but "The Wall" was the one that did it to me.
"The Wall" was something I could relate to in a lot of ways, and when I
heard it, I was totally blown away.
I'm not gonna get into details about how it changed my life, but the
album SAVED me from going insane :)

Agreed.
The real creme de crap was that tour in the eighties without Waters.
Come on guys! It's over for crying out loud!

Hey nr, hey group,
Meddle was the first Floyd album I ever heard. Music was definitely different
for me after that. I reEfer to it as the year I stopped listening to GFR :)
That same summer (71? 72?) I was fortunate enough to see them at Merriweather
in Maryland, when they toured after the Dark Side of the Moon Album was
released. Great show, what I remember of it. Some images of Gilmour playing the
guitar will stay with me till I die.
Dark Side of the Moon, Meddle, Umma Gumma, Relics, Sauserfull of Secrets, are
some of my fav's. Animals and the Wall ar some of my least fave's, but there's
gobs of great music scattered throughout all of their albums. I'm still looking
for the disco cover of "Have a Cigar" Some one did during the disco dilemma.
Does anyone remember this?
