FIRST TIME HEARING 'Pink Floyd - Hey You' | GENUINE REACTION

[@paulleach3612]

There are two types of people on this planet; those who love Pink Floyd and those who haven't heard them yet...

I totally agree...I've gotten my adult son's & 7 nephews ( & some of their wives) listening. My daughter won't even try. 😅

[@goosefarm3602]

lol true

[@vootabangee1]

"you don't have a favorite Pink Floyd song, because the next song you hear is your favorite".. Well said. You just captured the reality that is.. Pink Floyd.

[@amptique]

Here is a Pink Floyd experiment for you: Go back and listen to one of your previous favorites again and see if it becomes your new favorite. You may discover that your favorite is always the last one you heard. Glad you found Pink Floyd. There is no other like them.😎

[@swfcocs1]

Damn, when you started with pink floyd experiment I thought you were going with the urban legend about The Wizard of oz combined with Dark Side of the moon😅

[@42Mrgreenman]

@@swfcocs1 Yeah, it is an urban legend, but the coincidence is cosmically scary, how serindipity can work in such a way that beat for beat, Dark Side of the Moon matches up to Wizard of Oz in such a specific way...

No matter which song or album you can mention, Pink Floyd=Musical Genius.

[@recabitejehonadab2654]

Great reaction! I hope you are understanding why when us “older people “ don’t like music today with its phoney drum beats and auto tone. This is why because we grew up listening to real musicians who played their instruments and created music with their own talent. This is why we for the most part today’s music can’t compare to what we grew up listening to.

[@gerrydupuis9897]

Amen brother.

[@karenmikalofsky5287]

💯 The fake instruments are soooo bad. And many voices just sound whiney or tinny to me. Not sure how to explain it, just fake sounding.

[@the-NightStar]

You know, i'm 48 years old myself, so it's not like i'm a spring chicken either, but whenever I hear this crotchety old 'get off my lawn' boomer talk, the least I expect are fair criticisms or at least pronouncing or spelling "autotune" right when criticizing it, which would at least make it sound like you know what it is. (Also only a small minority of songs these days feature it, in only 2 genres of music, both of which are not nearly as prominent anymore as they were in 2009-2011, and autotune has fallen drastically out of favor these days) And when I hear people bemoaning "fake instruments" and then pointing to Pink Floyd (who I LOVE by the way), all I can do is laugh because Pink Floyd PIONEERED "fake instruments" with synth, and keyboard samples from Rick Wright, and Roger Water's oscillation tinkering which created an entire plethora of "fake instrument" sounds that were more versatile than the real things. One only needs to listen to Dogs or Any Colour You Like to hear perfect examples of them paving the way for exactly the things you're complaining about now. If you REALLY WANT to point the finger at modern EDM music for being what it is today, you should re-point that finger back at bands like Pink Floyd for pioneering these EDM and electronic experimentation that led to what's used in current pop and rock today.

[@leannlaplante3643]

[@the-NightStar]

Personally, I absolutely despise "Several Small Species Of Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Groovin' On A Pict", "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast", and I even think "Atom Heart Mother" is a big fat dud of a song and an album in general. Pink Floyd have had their fair share of bad songs.

[@Kookygirl111]

I've said it a thousand times since I first heard it - you don't listen to Pink Floyd, you experience Pink Floyd. Such a true statement.

[@WendyDarling1974]

[@Nikki-l5p9y]

Same. Highlights of my life, really.

[@helmutvogel901]

Don't know if anybody has mentioned that there are 4 Pink Floyd albums that are concept albums, and should be listened to from first to last song as there are no pauses between songs (except for cd versions, which force a break to be able to find the next track), and the whole album tells a story from start to finish. These albums are, in order, Dark Side of the Moon 1973, Wish You Were Here 1975, Animals 1977, and The Wall 1979. Most reactors get away with doing Side 1 Side 2 reactions, at worse they break it down by song. But almost all stay up. I was lucky to have an older (5 1/2 yrs) brother who turned me on to good music at a young age. And I have come to realize that my generation is spoiled as far as music is concerned. I was born in 1960, and I grew up when all the best groups (in my opinion) were creating the music we are still reacting to today!! This was the era of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Dire Straits, Black Sabbath, Grand Funk and so many others. It is so much fun to watch people get introduced to the music I grew up on, and still enjoy today!

[@ianfortier6796]

I'd add The Final Cut to the list of concept album, and The Division Bell to a lesser extent.

[@amadormediero3978]

Yep. Great era of music and creativity. Except that for me The Who was quite simply the most overrated band of all time. To me if you heard 1 The Who song you have virtually heard them all. Just my opinion but The Who do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Pink Floyd, Dire Straits or Led Zep.

[@amadormediero3978]

Another brilliant concept album is Amused to Death Roger Waters

[@ianfortier6796]

@@amadormediero3978 Amused To Death is easily Roger's best solo album.

'Hey you' is the quintessential Pink Floyd song.. typically eerie (including the buzzing sound during the 'worms eating into his brain part'), emotional Gilmour solo, incredible background bass.. and Roger Waters taking over the vocals at the end. Awesome song.

[@davehadley3567]

Young fella over the last few days I’ve watched your PF reactions and you’ve grown every day …. You’ll know when your a totally hopeless case when you get up in the morning and put PF on your sound system while you get ready for the day and have your breakfast and when your chilling out in the evening your still listening to PF, I stopped selecting favourites a few years back now they are like really good friends …I’m always pleased when I see/ hear them. And you ? You have dived whole heartedly into a very deep rabbit hole but there’s lots of good people all over the world that share your interest/ passion / love of their music.

4:10 I am grinning like a sinister shadow, waiting for this upcoming part! Did not disappoint. Pink Floyd always escalates and washes over us with a wave that drowns us in unexpected emotion. Then we emerge, begging, “Do it again!” Not to interfere with your upcoming PF reactions, but you need to watch PF’s the wall. Preferably not alone because you’ll need to bounce ideas off each other! You and your sweet girl can make a date out of it. And maybe even a video. 😊

[@CanadianRightsReviews]

Another brick in the wall is for me THE Pink Floyd song.

[@dominicorange1468]

Hey You was the first Floyd song I heard when 14 years old and that was it! Best music you can listen to FULL STOP. My favourite of all time I think is Comfortably Numb (best live version being from A Delicate Sound of Thunder)....Seeing them live in Rotterdam in 1994 and listening to Sam Brown sing Great Gig in the Sky - Best night of my life!!!

[@nickwelke]

Others have said this - you just read a chapter and liked it, but the whole book (the album The Wall) is a complete story that is best experienced as a whole.

Hey Molly.. new sub here. Great channel so far! Pink Floyd in my opinion is in their own genre... there will never be another. Pink Floyd albums are concept albums... think of them like a book and each song as being a chapter of said 'book'... I suggest you do album reactions with each song being that days video release... start with Animals... that concept album is about the different types of ppl in the world....Pigs are the politicians... Dogs are the rich and powerful and sheep are you guessed it, the general public blindly following the rules set by the two previous groups. I personally think that Dogs is their best song of any album!

[@richardthresh3587]

Very early Pink Floyd is a strange thing. They were very peculiar and thoroughly caught up in psychedelia and deliberate weirdness. Therefore, if you listen to the recordings from the 60s and a few others you will likely have a WTF moment or three. Many aficionados say that they really gelled as a band with the album Meddle and then reached greatness when Dark Side of the Moon was released.

[@Jude_196]

Yes - there is a dichotomy between what I was introduced to on the radio as a teen, and, as a deep dive for me and finding The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn album from '67 and listening to it; I must say: I appreciated it, as well...but, quite different. Interstellar Overdrive was very interesting...and, I try to remember "the times" in which they started, too. From what I've heard, it was very early in EVERYONE's career, then, and the development and growth of the band, musically and spiritually, between the late 60s and early/mid-70s is AMAZING. but, Syd Barrett's influence has NEVER left this band and Piper was heavily influenced by Syd. When they first started-out: many of their songs were experimented with in the clubs and would last a very long time and would be a kind of trippy, psychedelic JAM SESSION...and, I mean LONG songs of "ZONING OUT"....but, that's where they learned a LOT and gained and used all of that knowledge, going forward. I'm so GLAD THEY DID, or we'd have NO FLOYD!! The creativity and raw sincerity of this band in both their lyrics and in the soul of their sound....and the craftsmanship and musical technicality is, in my opinion, unparalleled....and, many have said: they ARE their OWN genre. There's no one similar to compare them TO...and, I'm thankful to know their music and experience it.

[@robertherring9277]

Idk man Moore and Obscured By Clouds are awesome! For that, Piper at the Gates of Dawn (with Sid) is absolutely amazing! That was like what, '67?

[@richardthresh3587]

@robertherring9277 Oh, I think they're all great ... but was just observing that many consider that 'Meddle' and beyond were the band's zenith. My starting point with the band was the compilation album 'Relics' - which is fabulous - and then I moved on to 'Obscured By Clouds' which I think is excellent. Being only 12 in 1974, funds were an issue and I didn't get hold of copies of their earlier albums until after the release of 'Wish You Were Here' (and didn't hear 'More' until the early 80s).

[@robertherring9277]
