    Default Religion

    BKS if you're wondering...this is highly political and involves you

    I have been converted to your erstwhile quasi-religion of Pink Floyd...I bought the Cd for Dark side of the moon today...it's classic especially the great gig in the sky...if you're wondering why this post is a bit incohesive a) it's written by me
    b) it's past midnight

    My religion is Iron Maiden, hell yeah!

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Yes, Dark Side is a fantastic album. I would also advise you to buy Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall. Those albums make up a sort of holy trinity of four of Floydness. I personally also love the early stuff like Saucerful of secrets, Atom Heart Mother and Meddle, but this isn't for everyone.

    I suppose it figures that you like the great gig in the sky, you do a lot of singing, don't you? That's the song I want played at my funeral.

    Which do you think is better Capo, Freebird or Sweet Home Alabama? I think Freebird nails it.

    Well ah_dut I guess your just another brick in the wall.

    Personally, I am a man of many conflicts.
    On one side, I must side with the new ways, The Dropkick Murpys.
    But then again I must side with the old ways, Aerosmith and AC/DC.

    I am a Floydaphile. It is my religion.

    The last chorus of Saucerful of Secrets is the sound of Heaven. It is the connection between my mind and the mind of God.

    I know, that's the point of the title. Anyways, i used to do a lot of singing but not nearly as much as before. I'll get some more Floyd when I can afford it...or maybe for Christmas :wishes for a praying smilie:

    I agree completely with my Floydific brother. However, in the light of Floydaphistic pluralism, I would stress Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, and Ummaguma for a true plunge into the depths.

    Also, the new director's cut DVD of Live Pompeii is a must. An excellent audio/visual Floydophonic experience.

    Ah Pink Floyd, one of my many loves. I must admit I haven't listened enough to the older, less-popular recordings. But that just gives me something to look forward to, given that modern "music" is so ... well ... blah. I found the non-hits on The Wall to be particularly appealing. For some reason I am attracted to musical artists that can tap the emotional depths of depression and express "the pit" through music. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails is my personal grandmaster for this, but PF and the Wall take a very close second. If you've never hit rock bottom with depression then I probably sound like I'm talking nonsense. But I think some of you know exactly what I'm driving at.

    The Wall is amazing.

    Plus if you hum it whilst teachers try to tell you off it destroys them.
