Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds

Postby whygohome » Tue May 01, 2012 8:50 am

There is no better way to express my love and admiration for Pink Floyd than to say they are second on my list of favorite bands right behind, well, take a guess.

It is obvious that Dark Side, WYWH, and The Wall get all the attention, and deservedly so, but some of their other albums are amazing and unique in their own way. Obscured by Clouds, for me, is one of them, as is Meddle.

Anyone share my sentiments?

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Floyd is definitely in my top 3 faves for sure and Obscured by Clouds definitely doesn't get enough love. Free Four is up there as one of my fave Floyd tracks. Meddle is also incredible, as is Animals.

I always feel like I need to get people who've only heard Dark Side or the Wall to dig in deeper!

"One, two, Free Four!"

"Wot's, uh, the deal" is one of my favorite songs of all-time. Animals is amazing. Why don't these albums get any love?!?!?!

Go to the store now, do what Phelps is doing in your avatar, and listen to Obscured by Clouds.
I hope you enjoy it.

Yeah Obscured By Clouds is great. Free Four and Childhood's End should be played in regular rock radio rotation (as should Fearless and maybe even San Tropez from Meedle). The instrumentals are okay...nothing to write home to mom about...but are short and to the point. The Gold It's In The... is pretty cool too. Like The Nile Song, Young Lust, and Not Now John...it's a "holy shit, Pink Floyd can rock?" type of song.

and with such fantastic titles as 'dance of the red corpuscles' and 'more than seven dwarves in penis land', how can it not be "uh... interesting"?! :D

I think the two of you would get along well - he's a total Floyd completist! In fact, Rick Wright's stuff is his favorite outside of Syd's. RIP!

:? :?

from wiki:

released in 1984. Wright later stated that he felt Identity was an "experimental mistake" that should never have been released
