Pink
Floyd album reviews
I'd have to agree that Pink
Floyd's music is quite good, but which one is Pink? Just
kidding. Their career has spanned more years than we plan to cover.
We are reviewing what we consider their best. Because Pink Floyd has
so many more average albums than great ones that we consider them to
be overrated. However, their best work is unparalleled and
extraordinary. As a result, it has earned its own section in this
website.
Beside the albums that we
are reviewing, we have listened to several other early Pink Floyd
and Syd Barret albums; several of the post The
Wall albums, as well as solo works from David
Gilmour and Roger
Waters. Additionally, we have seen some of the later day rehash
bands. While the new lineups are better than nothing, they are
nowhere near the plateau they reached in the 1970's.
There have been several
tours with Pink Floyd, less Roger Waters, and to go along with the
tour there have been two live albums Delicate
Sound of Thunder and Pulse.
Additionally, Roger Waters has released two live albums with his
band, The
Wall Live in Berlin, and In
the Flesh. Rather than, or in addition to these live albums
why don't they release some live material from their tours in the
1970's? Musically, this would be far superior to any the live albums
mentioned above, by far.
I have heard tape of Dark
Side of the Moon, Wish You Here, and other performances
from different tours during 70's and the songs sound different
enough from the albums to warrant their immediate release. I would
buy vault releases of live concerts from tours of Dark Side of
the Moon, Wish You Were Here, and Animals, etc.
Pink Floyd should open up their vault and follow in the path that Led
Zeppelin recently took with their How
the West Was Won Cd or the Led
Zeppelin DVD. In time we may cover some additional albums,
but we begin with what we consider their best.

Inside
Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd
by Nick Mason
Book Description - Amazon
Here, for the first time, is the story of Pink Floyd—from the
inside out. With 116 million albums sold worldwide and 25 years on
the pop charts to their credit, Pink Floyd is one of the most
successful rock groups in history, yet their story—until now—is
one of the least known. The only continuous member of the band
through its entire 40-year history, Nick Mason has witnessed every
twist, turn, and sommersault from behind his drum kit. The journey
begins with the band's origins as the darlings of London's late
1960s underground and the creation of the classic Pink Floyd sound,
all the way through to The Wall and those legendary stadium shows.
Here are the players who shaped the band's history and the story
behind the story—the inside perspective on, for example, the
deterioration and departure of Syd Barrett; the overwhelming success
of The Dark Side of the Moon and the resulting pressures and
conflicts within the band, including the rift with Roger Waters; and
Nick and David Gilmour's decision to put their reputations on the
line and continue as Pink Floyd. Packed with rare photographs and
vintage Floyd graphics from Nick Mason's extensive private archive,
Inside Out is an eye-opener for both veteran fans and those just
discovering the group. And, in keeping with the classic Floyd style,
the book's cover was designed by Storm Thorgerson, creator of such
iconic images as the Dark Side pyramid. Always candid, by turns
poignant and funny, Nick's own memories are augmented with extensive
research and interviews, making Inside Out a comprehensive history
of one of the most brilliant and imaginative bands the world has
known—and a masterly memoir of rock and roll.
About the Author
Nick Mason first played with Roger Waters and Syd Barrett at the
Regent Street Polytechnic in London in 1964, although they wouldn’t
become Pink Floyd until the following year. He lives in the UK.
