I listened to nothing but Pink Floyd for a week

[@RellyMoorer]

I realized that my overall thoughts were super vague so instead of just saying, "I enjoyed this challenge" I will say that like most artist you can see the different sounds throughout their career. The part that people seem to miss with these videos is that these were “ratings” based off a first time and one time listen. Once I listen through everything, the last day, I went back and listened to songs like “Echoes” and the pulse live album. Some with headphones some without. Either way I’m not just going to record myself in a room listening with headphones and the video could’ve been way longer. Since this video I've actually listened to Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and The Division Bell multiple times. My father in law (who said they were one of the greatest bands ever) also explained a lot to me and helped me understand different things. I would've loved to been around when each album came out but it is what it is. Once I listened to everything once I went back and listened to a lot I think they were super talented and really good and I understand why their name is almost always mentioned when it comes to rock or classic rock.

[@sicotshit7068]

I’m only familiar with Animals Dark Side of the Moon & The Wall. They are great albums. I highly suggest doing this with Led Zeppelin, the greatest band ever. You mentioned John Bonham, the greatest drummer ever. You should check out his 20 minute live solo, it’s amazing, called Moby Dick. I hope you decide to deep dive into Led Zeppelin, I think you’d be amazed how great they really are.

I was going through a really hard time while in high school - my mom died and I had to leave my home city where I'd always lived and live with relatives way out in the sticks. The Wall perfectly encapsulated my rage, loneliness, grief, frustration - and showed me a path toward healing. Also just, the way the album opens with In The Flesh?, there's never been another album opener to ever get me anywhere near as hyped. I have a mini compilation of the three Brick in the Wall songs put together. Run Like Hell and Comfortably Numb are permanently on my rotation. Animals I'm all abut Sheep and Pigs (Three Different Ones). I was lucky because my friend had all the Floyd albums on CD, but she didn't like Animals , so after I borrowed it and came back absolutely gushing over it, she laughed and told me to keep it. Still have it to this day 27 years later.

[@Donie30]

Liked your reaction, Pink Floyd is definitely not for everyone. They did have a “big four” phase consisting of everything from Dark Side to The Wall Here’s an explanation of all the album: Piper At The Gates of Dawn: They had their first frontman (Syd Barret) who was a HARD LSD user, and they were also in the studio with The Beatles while the Beatles were making their album “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” which gave Syd a lot of inspiration Saucerful: Syd was only on the last song (Jugband Blues) because he was kicked out the band due to his LSD use. David Gilmore has now come along More: This was a soundtrack, but the band still struggled without Syd Ummugumma: This shows how much the band was REALLY struggling without Syd Atom Heart Mother: They’re starting to get better and find their sound Meddle: They really find their sound, and Echoes get better and better the more you listen Obscured By Clouds: Another soundtrack for a French film I forgot the name of Dark Side of the Moon: Floyd’s masterpiece. It has a new meaning with every listen. It’s the album that’s stayed on the top 200 charts the longest of all time, with 989 weeks, and will probably grow!! That’s almost 19 years!!! Wish You Were Here: the bands tribute to Syd Barret, and something amazing to come back after Dark Side. Funny story, the band had never seen Syd since he left the band in 1968, but he randomly showed up to the studio when they were making this album about HIM. They didn’t recognize him at first, for he was bald headed and obese. When they did recognize him, they started bawling their eyes out. They played Shine On You Crazy Diamond (think about (S)hine on (Y)ou Crazy (D)iamond) and Syd didn’t know it was about him. All he said was “sounds kinda old”, and left without anyone realizing a few minutes later. The only time anyone in the band EVER saw him again was Gilmore passing by him in a grocery store. It’s horrible what drugs can do to you Animals: Dogs represent businessmen, turning their backs on each other to achieve success, the pigs are the rich, manipulating the regular citizens, who are the sheep. While listening to sheep you can hear the line “did you hear the news? The dogs are dead!” Implying that citizens protested against the businessmen, but as things in society fall apart the sheep become the dogs The Wall: This one has a movie, called “The Wall” and is the official Pink Floyd movie, but not really about them at all. You could draw some conclusions to it being related to Syd, though. This one is too long to explain so if you want better contest you should look it up yourself if you’re fine with that. The Final Cut: Richard Wright (the keyboard player) was kicked out the band by Roger Waters. I’m not sure why, but I know that The Final Cut is Roger’s final album before he leaves the band himself, and is basically just a few songs that were scrapped from The Wall A Momentary Lapse Of Reason: Richard is Back, and now it’s just him, David, and Nick (the drummer). It has a huge 80s style, and shows how their struggling without Roger The Division Bell: Was SUPPOSED to be their final album, but was pretty good. A lot of Wall similarities again I’m pretty sure The Endless River: A tribute to Richard Wright who has died in 2008. This is their final album, and is definitely mostly instrumental

In my mind theres 2 Pink Floyds - cuz there were 2 different main writers at 2 different times. Most of that was the Sid Barrett era but starting w Dark Side? It became the Roger and David era. Thats the era that made all of the classic stuff. Its pretty different of course from Sids stuff.

i think there is now a third era, have seen many people list their favorite albums and they are often topped by albums after the Final Cut.

[@atraxisdarkstar]

Syd left in 67, he only contributed to Piper At The Gates. Roger was the primary writer of lyrics up until he himself left. The late 60's it was mostly Waters and Wright doing the writing, by 71 Waters was still doing the lyrics, but most songs now were now collaboratively written. David, the superior musician, was playing more and more of the basslines on albums, though. By 79/80 Waters was doing most of the writing and composing until things broke down between the group. So I think it's more accurate to say Pink Floyd whas the Waters era up til 1980, and the post-Waters era after.

@@rodrocket8216 He wrote all but three songs on Piper and one song on Saucerful, so you could make that argument (though I would disagree, since Waters and Mason had been writing music before he came along anyway).

"The Wall" IS the sound track to a movie (sort of) The album itself was written to describe the life of a "Rock Star" (named Pink or Pinky) and the evolution of his experience. Later, in the 1980's I believe, they made a motion picture of this story and the album was the soundtrack. With extended versions of some of the songs, it was a typical Musical, a "Rock opera". It was directed by Academy Award winning director Alan Parker (Midnight Express, Evita, The Commitments, et al) and starred (sir) Bob Geldof (Boomtown Rats and creator of "Live Aid") Give it a watch, you might be surprised.

Also, their two performances at the Amphitheater among the ruins at Pompeii Italy, ("Echoes" in 1971 and in 2016). And, their Venice concert in 1989. All spectacular performances as are all of Floyds live shows. At the 1994 Pulse concert, they played the entire "The Dark Side Of The Moon" album, as well as many other songs. PF live performances from the late 80s and beyond sound incredible, the sound system they put together is off the charts and most of them have been re-mastered "High Hopes", "Learning To Fly", "Sorrow" and "Comfortably Numb" are some of the most phenomenal live performances of the Pulse Concert's 2-and-a-half-hour show!

You put a lot of work into this video, and it shows. Actually, I take that back. You put a lot of work into yourself, and it shows. Great job! Keep it up. Subbing.

[@andyswift79]

Alright finished the video, it’s so interesting to see what people enjoy while listening for the first time thru. I think you’re top 3’s would really change if you sat and just listened with headphones (no interruptions) but a great video overall. Gilmour is the reason I picked up a guitar! I’m 28, Pink Floyd was not one of my dads favorite bands, so that guy can eat grass 🤣

[@jacoblaw3534]

Thanks; you did a great job, definitely Dark Side of the Moon is number one. Your song picks were “right on”, good job

[@EydeRedman]

I’m 57 and I discovered them on my own at 13 Parents hated them They are still something I listen to daily or weekly Never gets old ever They are so clever in their lyrics that I feel some people are afraid to actually think about Real life stuff .. Pink Floyd to me is a huge journey of life and death and the journey in between ❤

[@michelle_m_m]

I think this is so cool! You’re right-I listen to Pink Floyd because my dad does. (I’m 40.) I love that you tried them out and even got through the really weird stuff. 😂❤

[@larryh.5229]

Hey man that was fantastic 👍🏻cool deal for going through the catalog with an open mind...

[@johnnyrocketed2225]

I appreciate your open-mindedness and honesty. Pink Floyd definitely isn’t for everyone. I always liked Animals the best. 😎

[@johnmichel4865]

Great work bro. Hats off, especially for continuing after Ummagumma haha. DSOTM is my GOAT album. You need to listen to it with headphones and the right chilled atmos ;) Killer lyrics too. They're all good in their own way but the 1970s stuff is absolute primo. The track Atom Heart Mother is weird af but gets better with time. Must be interesting to run to! Keep up the good work 👊

[@brianbankert1411]

Way to go…nice job! Good luck with the marathon.

[@prouddaughterpublishing]

I love how open-minded you are, and guess what, Division Bell is one of my favorites too.

[@RO-vh8ln]

Thanks for your perspective. As A Pink Floyd fan I appreciate you rating The Division Bell @ #2. Many Floyd fans trash it but I've always rated as my second favourite album.

[@silverfiste]

I really like your approach to trying things;,,, I recommend checking out Rush, as your a drummer, you need to know Neil Peart if you don't already

[@cslspencer-lowe4831]

Man, I really respect that you did this. What a great exercise in opening one's musical mind ! As a Pink Floyd fan since the late 80's ( discovered at 15...as per usual for my cohort) I also appreciate your fresh perspective. I'm going to give it a try with something I've never heard before. Thanks for the idea. Any suggestions ?

[@harmono8766]

You missed Relics which has singles that weren't on albums and it's Syd Barret era stuff. That was a game changer. Yes Beatles influenced in the early years. Live shows were Psychedelic light shows.

[@Godric_71]

And you're a much happier and more enlightened for it. Welcome to the machine my friend.

[@dont_follow5777]

Thank you for making this video. I enjoyed it.

[@doctorauxiliary]

I'm just at the beginning of this, but I'll say that I'm digging your scientific research style approach to this. you are obviously a fair-minded & really insightful dude. also, your video production is tops. (& the rando table dismantling bit is pretty great. haha!!) that is DEFINITELY interesting that "the wizard of oz" popped in your mind. &, yes... "granchester meadows." I LOVE that song!! it's a real beaut'. I'm a big pink floyd lover. if you twisted my arm & forced me to choose an album, I'd go with "animals," but there'd be a whole lotta "but... but..."

[@skidz57]

Dude, this is stunning, or I should say you're inquisitive mind for what is outside the envelope is admirable at best.

[@dansernerkhi8995]

What a great project Man, I salute You good Sir

[@talltaleradio]

This was awesome. Great insights, great idea to do. We should all be doing this, really. Music is eternal, always evolving...there's great stuff today, from the 1980's, from the 1920's, from the Renaissance...we should all have the attitude you do about it all!

[@NextWorldVR]

How fun! I hope he liked my favorite band...

[@talabusick1666]

Have a cigar was covered by Primus on one of their early albums, miscellaneous debris.

[@davidb7130]

I've been a Pink Floyd fan for decades. I was around for the release of Ummagumma. That was my first experience. It took me a few dozen rounds to fully absorb and appreciate those albums. The next one was Meddle. I had not heard the other albums in between but I truly loved Meddle within three or four rounds. One of these Days and Echoes are legendary, but every song has its own character. Dark side of the Moon was next. I bought that the day it came out and I was the first one in my city to own it. I watched it come out of the box at the record store. I knew immediately it was special. But I can't say I truly appreciated all of the nuances of that album until I had listened to it at least five or six times. Wish you were here. I heard that for the first time when I was rotating out of boot camp. It was in our rec room. I couldn't believe there was a new Pink Floyd album! I wasn't sure what to think of it because I was only able to hear it once. It sounded great but it was obviously different than the others as they all are. After boot camp I bought the album and played it repeatedly for days because it was better every time I listened to it. The Wall was another album experience that really required my full attention for several run-throughs. Of course there was the two standouts, another brick in the wall pt 2 and comfortably numb. But to truly comprehend the concept of the entire album took me a little more time to appreciate each piece of work that assembled this masterpiece. My recommendation to you as someone who is trying to hear Pink Floyd for the first time is to have patience. The concepts of each album along with each individual piece of work will grow on you. That is the beauty of Pink Floyd. That is what made them a standout so much different from every other classic rock group. So my friend, I think you missed the true wonder of Pink Floyd. You should go back and listen to each one of those albums more closely and even have the lyrics right in front of you while you're listening. Every Pink Floyd album takes time to absorb and appreciate. There was a synergy in these four gifted musicians that created albums that are already proving their test in time. People will be listening to Dark Side of the Moon when nearly everything else that's around right now is a distant memory. The Wall is a timeless story people will listen to hundreds of years from now. Good luck on your musical journey! Go find the gold in them thar hills 💯

[@jimdeveau4025]

Good for you giving Floyd a try. They are a great band for sure. I think you need to give "the great gig in the sky" another chance. It's mesmerizing. Has a southern Baptist church feel. A great vocalises (I think that's a word???). Maybe an aria?? whatever. You should try Tool next. They're a whole lot angrier but well worth it. Gotta keep Maynard's anger at bay though.

[@thekillercyclist]

first video ive seen of yours. good shit man keep it up! also love pink floyd, check out the pulse tour videos

[@dlorde]

A lot of the early stuff was kind of experimental, but it's the direction they were exploring that made it special. As they found their groove, the sound clarified and took a philosophical and emotional turn.

[@luannecopelton-wf1vu]

Pink Floyd is an experience, their music grabs your soul and doesn’t let go …. I was 10 years old in March of 1973 … my older brother purchased Dark side , I was hooked .. still am .

[@benlap1977]

I'm the dad! Great to see that there is still something in Pink Floyd that resonates with younger audiences. Learning to Fly, with THAT guitar riff i cant describe is indeed a great song. It's their first song I've ever heard. It came out when i was about 10, and they were already an old band (they're the same age as my dad).

[@officialWWM]

You should try The Rolling Stones next. You will need more than a week but it will change you forever ❤️ Great video, thanks for making it. Subscribed :)

[@anycoveryoulike7510]

Im in my early 30s, discovered pink floyd in high school on my oqn and loved them! Its a unique experience and when you delve into the lyrics and concept album meanings its truly something special. I would recommend you check out the Wall movie released in 1982, its super tripy but explains a lot of meaning behind the wall album, gotta check that out when you have time

[@ilmorab9157]

Great video, you should try to do The Doors!

[@jasondowdy2236]

Totally respect you for listening to all the albums front to back. The way they are intended to be listened to. Pink Floyd can be an acquired taste. Myself I like the Dark side and The Wall. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.

[@Darkrob131]

As a big Floyd fan, kudos to you taking the time to explore them honestly. The old Syd stuff can get really psychedelic, so it isn't for everyone. Pink floyd doesn't write songs, they compose albums.

[@ChicoCabra]

This is a great, original and creative reaction video. I hope it expands to any band or genre that you are not used to, because the journey is very engaging. I'm trying to think of bands or artists that change a lot in their successive releases and I would say, to start with if you haven't heard them or paid full attention: Nirvana (all 3 records are very different) Kate Bush Paul Simon

[@telecontar]

I got agree with your friend about the younger generation only discovering pink floyd because their parents listened to i I'm 28 now and I started listening to Pink Floyd because of my Dad and up until I was 10 I always maintained to my Dad that I hated Pink Floyd until I started to listen to them completely out of the blue and one day when I was 10 i went up to my Dad. I told him how much I loved Pink Floyd and that David Gilmour is my favorite musician. I think I made not only his day but his whole year. Because every so often up until he passed away when I was 23 (he was just 59) we would sit in the living room and watch their live concerts or we'd sit at my laptop listening to our favorite Pink Floyd and David gimour songs. I miss that not only because I got to listen to amazing music but because I got to listen to amazing music with my Dad. His favorite songs were high hopes, a great day for freedom, comfortably numb (especially the pulse version) us and them, shine on you crazy diamond, echoes and coming back to life.

[@reltcstone2]

solid episode and reflection in your comment below. Great stuff man. I recommend also checking out echoes played over 2001 a space odyssey. Fits perfect.

[@eighto220_fps]

Solid choice. All their albums are worth listening to. Good luck picking just three songs in the end

[@JeffreyMusicRocks]

Nice vid, although I don't think Pink Floyd lend themselves well to listening to all their albums in a row, they were very patchy in their early albums until they found their new sound after Syd left, and their later stuff requires a lot more time to soak in.

[@Music-AsLife]

Great video. I like this approach to listening to a new artist. I think i'll have to try it. Some Floyd albums are tough to get through without context it must have been even more difficult.

[@TheBishie]

Congrats on going outside your comfort zone in such an epic way! That is an achievement and shows character. :). (I am 48 and know a lot of later Pink Floyd but I wouldn't say I love them). But it's very cool to see somebody jump into a totally unfamiliar genre and suck down every album from a band. I don't think I'd have the stamina for this - it would be like you said.. obligation listening if I didn't like it. Excellent work and be proud of yourself as a human pushing boundaries! :)

[@bbollig9288]

What a great project! Thank you.

[@aryanyeoh2606]

omg this is really cool, i hope animals is up in your top 3 albums

[@aryanyeoh2606]

nice stuff man
