dave got presented an award by fucking j/nny gr/nw/d meanwhile roger is getting private prosecution threats for standing up with pali action. Sure.
actually it shouldn’t have been seamus who’s in the kitchen it should’ve been rick coz he’s always cookin
i love listening to different versions of set the controls over the years it’s like witnessing a child’s growth. saucerful version is like a baby. ummagumma’s is an edgy adolescent. pompeii’s is a college stoner.
OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY HERE WE GO
i want to start by saying that i believe there’s no “correct” or “incorrect” way to listen to an artist’s discography so above all i hope you’ll enjoy listening to some new stuff and have fun! <3
the concept albums are definitely an easy way to get into them, tdsotm probably *the* easiest of them all. i started out with it too, listening to tracks in bits and chunks before switching to tracks from the wall lmao. both of them are great places to start! succinct tracks and diverse sounds. wywh and animals, i think they require you to be in a certain headspace to get instantly hooked, at least that’s how it went in my case hehehe. but of course they’re also terrific and if you decide to start out with them it’ll be awesome! any way you want to start out with will be awesome regardless.
now i can’t really say anything about the greatest hits album approach because i’ve never listened to a pf greatest hits compilation 😭😭😭 but again, if you decide to start out with that, go for it! if i’m not mistaken their ‘best of’ comp has some syd era tracks in it that flow in quite nicely with the rest!
i’m personally more easily drawn towards live performances so the live at pompeii film/album was an early viewing when i started out! the songs performed there helped me pick which albums i might be interested in. i must say though live at pompeii is definitely a product of their “experimental” phase, albeit more structured, so it may not always reflect the sound of their later works. terrific terrific stuff nonetheless!
that being said, i do think there is a very obvious linear progression happening with their discography up until roger’s departure. like you said, their syd era music is very different from what they are eventually known for, and it is very noticeable in their first few albums without him. piper at the gates of dawn presented a band that’s very sure and certain of their sound, but beginning with saucerful up until atom heart mother, the sydless floyd worked hard to find a sound that suited them best. the results weren’t always fruitful but they were for sure interesting and honestly quite endearing. meddle and obscured presented a band that was starting to find their footing and a little after that tdsotm arrived. from that point on they kept pushing their limits and boundaries which resulted in some fairly gruesome works but also some of their best musical and lyrical output. to me the pink floyd are a band that’s cursed with their success and their discography is very reflective of that. experiencing all of THAT chronologically would be such a Journey.
they fucking took off Chit Chat w Oysters from YouTube I’m gonna jump off a cliff
