Pink Floyd is psychedelic rock. That doesn't mean you need to be intoxicated to enjoy it. Common mistake tbh. Don't feel bad. You more than likely enjoy psychedelic sounds, imagery, and shows from a number of bands already. Including The Beatles and 99% of modern pop ... Copied to Clipboard!

I remember listening to the first two songs off Dark Side when I was like 15 and giving up on the band for a good year or two. At the time, I had just discovered Nirvana and Guns N' Roses, which had become my favorite bands and set an expectation of energy levels I assumed was fairly standard with other rock bands. So try listening to an album in full when you are not feeling high on adrenaline and when you have 40 minutes to listen from start to finish. Some of the best parts are often buried in the middle somewhere and, in Dark Side's case, really come together at the end. If the spacier stuff is really a big turn off, there are probably a good few songs off the Wall you could dig. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Everything points to me liking Pink Floyd, but I just don't. I like all the bands that are compared to them, and the ones that are offshoots to their style. I like progressive rock and metal in general. But I just can't enjoy Pink Floyd. They're so damn slow and sleepy, it's like I'm gonna fall asleep when I listen to them. The drummer is the slowest, laziest drummer ever, but people say he's amazing, and then I just don't get it. Like I'm being gaslit on a large scale or something. Oh and I like psychedelic rock too. But to me that's something more like My Sleeping Karma. Something that has energy and action. --- http://i.imgur.com/DCjoiZ0.jpg https://www.deviantart.com/fuee/art/spanky1-811230163 ...

Here, fellow Floydian fans, have this raw ass unfinished post in the spirit of our favorite group! Disclaimer: I can't speak for a word of the message below, and it's probably rife with the most offensive and insulting mistakes one can make in this capacity, but hey.... Maybe you'll find a gem somewhere in-between the lines or something like that Gilmour/Waters era Pink Floyd (what most of us fans/followers/listeners listen to) is 110% psychedelic rock, and it is arguably the only straight-up psychedelic rock band to gain any real lasting mainstream attention as an act that remains relevant as ever. Maybe because they play "real music" ;) just kidding, but also not really. Not sure how to describe psychedelic rock off the top of my head. Long, freeform jams. Something like EDM before there was EDM, tbh. As good for an artist looking for a new headspace as it is for a "dumb college kid" looking to go to a big crazy rock show. Lol ... Copied to Clipboard!

I got high and listened to Animals with a friend who was trying to introduce me to Pink Floyd. I thought it was kinda boring. My mind kept wandering and I wasn't really even listening to it by the end. But I'm a heathen when it comes to music, so I never expect myself to have an informed opinion about what's good or not. --- The owls are not what they seem. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Meddle came before Dark and The Final Cut after The Wall. Both dont get mentioned as often but are pretty great bookends to the Gilmour / Water days. Umugumma before Meddle, but its inique as its a retread / fresh release of the Cid and Water days to the Gilmour / Water days. Gotta love the Cid era to really appreciate that one. Pink Floyd isnt just one sound. Thats one of the magical things about that band; each album truly has its own identity and sound. A person can dislike all of it because its Floyd, regardlessbut if youre actually looking for something to speak to you, you have a wide net. Sample each album, but know, like others have said, theyre album artistsif thats even a thing. My .02. I fell head over heels back in the mid 80s when I was in the army. Got ALL the tapes. Lol. My friend got me a bootleg of a live concert in England. Had 3 half hour songs; One of these Days, Echoes and Fat Old Sun from Atom Heart Mother. God I loved that live version of that song. One of the best Floyd songs I ever heard. Lost the tape years ago. Oh, and I like the Gilmour Floyd too. Its different from all the rest and also different from one anothercept theres more Gilmour guitar in Division Bell. And a lot more Fuck you, Roger! too. :) --- If you have to lie to make your point, then you're just a liar who has no point. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess it's not bad, but despite thoroughly liking '60s/'70s rock music, I don't really see why some people consider Pink Floyd to be literally the best music ever, let alone why they proudly admit they feel smart for thinking so. --- The secrets of the ancient world have been unearthed.

Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted... So they are more of an album type band? I've only heard their singles (used to work on radio so I played a lot of their singles) and just kinds got bored of it. Maybe I gotta go through an entire album. just picking random singles and going for it probably won't give you the effect most people who enjoy the band get out of it because all of PF's most recognizable material that stood the test of time are very much songs that journey into one another. Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall and Animals in particular don't feel quite right when you isolate stuff from them. It's a lot of trippy mid tempo stuff that crests into soaring soulful guitar solos or impactful vocal passages that don't really come off as all that interesting perhaps without context You definitely don't need to be high to enjoy the band but they're a fusion of prog and psychedelic, which isn't exactly a genre that's easy to just hop into radio hits for and get the big picture. I'm not trying to be snobby either because Pink Floyd is a very accessible example of both of those genres, but it is definitely a more thoughtful kind of music that expects you to chill out and just listen for awhile, which is where the weed stuff comes from. if that doesnt sound appealing maybe its just not for you --- I pray god will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in truth ...

When you're listening to Pink Floyd, just remember that they're not like other bands. Their music is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to them to even remotely understand them. I remember listening to a song on Dark Side of the Moon (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought a song was absolute bollocks during the listen. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the song had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Pink Floyd could just become something so different when you take a look into the music. Another thing you should note about Tool is that it's easy to get a headache listening to them. Not because they're a bad band, but because of how many ideas their music is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just sound like noise to you. Just turn it off and give it a listen the next day. If you don't like the music, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the lyrics, and picking apart the song itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is. --- When it's hard to see the benefits, the tavern is a decent way to seal off all the stimulus, feel something close to death but just a little bit ...

I like Pink Floyd, but its okay if you dont like the same things everyone else likes. Definitely an album band though.

I remember the first time taking fungus I was in high school and put Dark Side on.. I was sitting there watching patterns on a wall in my room as if it were on a projection screen. It was a pretty surreal experience.. especially Time because it has a pretty incredible solo especially if you really take the time to actually listen to it. Nowadays Im not a huge fan of Dark Side or The Wall.. I dont think I ever was. Their album Meddle and Wish You Were Here have better songs to listen to. ... Copied to Clipboard!
