Why a Pink Floyd Playlist Doesn't Work

[@bradoozy]

i still have a pink floyd playlist that being a playlist that’s all of their albums in chronological order

[@BzzBzzBee-l7r]

I did that too, I feel its the only right way to make a Floyd playlist

[@MatterOfFactItsAllDark]

@@BzzBzzBee-l7r Like, you just heard Us And Then, when the song ends, suddenly some Ummagumma song starts playing, like, doesn't work

[@JamesSmith-oo4wd]

[@calebdickerson2003]

What about the singles?

[@Lacquerhead-ec4db]

Honestly, as cool as a Floyd list would be, you’re right about them being more album-oriented. I’m super excited for the PF reviews, tho. Those are gonna be awesome! If you wanna do some more playlists in the future, I think that Oingo Boingo and Rush could make for some good topics.

[@alebor73]

Here's somebody who really understands Pink Floyd. Much appreciated.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

Thank you!

[@benvasilinda9729]

I spent years and years figuring out how to make a PF’s playlist and feel like I’ve finally mastered it.......it’s going to make ur 🤯. I play one album at a time from start to finish and then move on to another album. I know it’s mind blowing but I figure PF did all the leg work for me so I get to just sit back, listen and enjoy.

[@ethandeardorff8559]

Everything before Dark Side can be playlisted imo. Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, Ummagumma, A Saucerful of Secrets, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn all have songs that are pretty confined within their run-time. Yeah some of them are super long and transition into completely different arrangements multiple times, but it's still pretty easy to tell when one song ends and another begins

[@ljw5768]

The 'Echoes (The Best of Pink Floyd)' compilation album works really well and the sequencing is spot-on. I still struggle to listen to any individual tracks from DSOTM though. I prefer to listen all the way through.

[@6lackRain]

us and them is my favorite

[@definitelynotjiraiya5063]

@@evennoiz what are you talking about ? DSOTM is possibly the most influential rock album ever

[@supermariofan772003]

I tried doing a playlist of Pink Floyd recently, and I had to make it two discs to fit everything I wanted on there. Nice to see some love for Obscured by Clouds here. That's a great album that never gets the attention it deserves. Also, I'm super hyped for the abum reviews! I'm curious what you think about Saucerful of Secrets, since that's actually one of my favorite albums of their's. I love how it showcases all five band members.

[@TheAlaskansandman]

Obscured by Clouds, Childhoods End, The Gold Its in the, When your In, and Free Four are all great imo. And any PinkFloyd Playlist shouldn't be limited to a single disc. Double Disc at least. If not just making a playlist on youtube or something with out having to limit yourself. I have a 67 song playlist of Floyd on a data cd i listen to in my car

[@kidcharlemagne3044]

I actually prefer the second half of Shine On You Crazy Diamond, but it’s such a fantastic track that I don’t mind which half is picked.

[@youreverydaysaltyiowastate5602]

I love the opening instrumental of the first half of Shine On

Me too, I love how the guitar riff builds up and cuts back in.

Pink Floyd makes sense as an Album Band because it works as a whole than compilation albums or a Playlist. Still like their Echoes compilation. Can't wait for the reviews.

[@zachmorgenstern3243]

As someone who appreciates their talents and really likes a few of the songs, but isn't so into the long solos, I'd be into a Pink Floyd compilation album that includes only their more lyrical stuff 1) See Emily Play 2) Lucifer Sam 3) Cymbaline 4) Money 5) Us and Them 6) Brain Damage 7) Wish You Were Here 8) Pigs on a Wing 9) Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 10) Comfortably Numb.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I've always felt that "Time" is Roger as his best lyrically. "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" is such an iconic line.

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

Pink Floyd has always been one of my dad‘s favorite bands. But I was never really the biggest fan of them, and I kept trying to listen to their songs but they just didn’t click. Until one day I decided to listen to my older brothers copy of Darkside of the moon and then it finally clicked, I was trying to listen to them as individual songs rather than as album experiences and my mind was blown.

[@NoNameNoWhere]

I enjoyed "Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2)" when it played on the radio, and I knew PF was supposed to be an amazing band. When I went to the music store, I bought the CDs for The Wall. I tried listening to the first song, too slow, so I skipped it. Then I listened to the beginning of the second song, it was skipped too. After a certain point, I started skipping to the middle of songs, no luck. I just couldn't get into the album, it all just felt like background music. One night, I decided I would listen to every song without skipping and try to figure out why the album was so beloved. Then it really hit me - I was expecting the music to sound more traditional, where the background melodies would establish the primary song. The Wall used slow moments to build up emotion and theme. About a quarter of the way through, I noticed it was possible to create a story with all the songs. About 3/4 of the way through, I realized it was intentional. It was a mind-blowing experience.

[@pleaseenteraname1103]

@ that was my experience except with Darkside of the moon. Enjoy the money by itself but the rest of the album did nothing for me. Until I finally decided to sit down and listen to it all the way through.

[@PrankZabba]

I've tried to do mixes as well, and after the 4 disc set I made, I've come to the conclusion that you only got so many options. First Mix - Use all the songs from all the albums that dont go into other songs. So, right there, that sets ya up with a whole bunch of albums. So, how hard is it to make a mix from every single album up to Dark Side? It's easy. It's just a matter of what goes with what. Second Mix - Now you are stuck with those songs that just go into other songs. But it's easy to pull out songs from all the other albums other the Dark Side & The Wall. Third Mix - The Wall (minus Mother or Comfortably Numb, or both) Fourth Mix - Dark Side, but with side 2 played first. Then side 1.

[@orngcreator6115]

I actually made a double album years ago that mixed The Wall, The Final Cut, The Wall Film Versions and a bit of other tracks onto one 4 side double vinyl album. Sadly it’s taken off of KZbin but if anyone wants a google drive of the album I’d be more than happy to give anyone a link for it. I’m proud of it to this day.

I couldn’t agree more. I love the Floyd. I can’t hear just one song from an album. I have to sit down and listen to the whole record.

[@fbiagent2848]

I really love hearing any part of another brick in the wall completely separate from the other songs. It really is satisfying and very complete

[@iaincook5835]

I feel your pain. I've found good value in exploring Floydian "vertical tastings". Par example. There are numerous live versions of "Any Colour You like", and they are all different. It's like numerous different songs that happen to have the same theme. Sometimes Dave takes the lead, other times Rick, and they are all different to the album cut, which is a stone cold classic.

[@Argythecorgi]

Can't wait for the album videos, the history of rock 70s videos was a big reason for me getting into pink floyd a few months ago and I'll be eternally grateful

[@tebin1000]

Well, to be honest a Pink Floyd Playlist only work if you choose The early years albums (from Piper to Obscured by Clouds) after that is very difficult to make a playlist because every album after those are concept albums and almost every song in those albums are connected

[@Syfoll]

Hell no, all the albums from 1967 to 1972 have a distinct sound and style. None would fit very well, maybe just throwing a Fat Old Sun, or a Summer 68 with tracks from Obscured by Clouds, but that's about it. The textures on all those albums are different

[@mirosoares]

Great video! As a huge Pink Floyd fan I understand all the points you made in the video, starting from the fact that it is just impossible to have only ONE playlist. Just for fun, in my collection I have long time created some playlists by Pink Floyd selecting them by genre or context... like: PF deep instrumental, PF rock, PF heavy, PF nocturne, PF travel, etc. But anyway, it's kind of fun create a few surprising connections, but doesn't really work better then just listening to a particular album. More than to think about a possible playlist for PF. It will be a pleasure to see your next videos dedicated to individual albums. There's a lot to discuss not only about the songs in itself but also on the relations they create with themselves (as the transitions you've pointed out). Besides several others, one thing that strikes me about the way how PF produce their albums is the contrast they set in volume for certain parts. It's a little like classic music: the instrumental and almost silent sound lasting several minutes makes the way for the later parts. They really stand out when they get into play. (If I managed to explain what I was trying to say....) Anyway... Fantastic work, man! Cheers from Brazil.

[@MMago_10]

That's what my dad, who is a super fan of them, told me.....you can't listen just one song if you don't listen the one after it!

[@husq48]

_"the first time I heard 'dark side of the moon' was on my father's original copy"_ this is also true for me, except I don't know if my father's copy was original and it was a CD

[@ejd1984]

A few years back I thought I'd put together a "Lost" Pink Floyd album: About Hitchhiking - Made up from the 1984 solo albums of Gilmour & Waters. With tracks also from Wright's 1978 solo album 1. Until We Sleep (D. Gilmour) 2. Apparently, They Were Travelling Abroad (R. Waters) 3. Murder (D. Gilmour) 4. Summer Elegy (R. Wright) 4. Running Shoes (R. Waters) 5. Love on The Air (D. Gilmour) 6. Sexual Revolution (R. Waters) 7. Holiday (R. Wright) 7. Blue Light (D. Gilmour) 8. The Remains of Our Love (R. Waters) 9. Out of The Blue (D. Gilmour) 10. Go Fishing (R. Waters) 11. All Lovers Are Deranged (D. Gilmour) 14. Drop in From the Top (R. Wright) 12. Every Strangers Eyes (R. Waters) 13. Near the End (D. Gilmour) 14. The Moment of Clarity (R. Waters) *After putting these songs together, it's more apparent that each of the song writers for Floyd had a specific skill. Waters is good at creating the Narrative. Gilmour is good at creating the Soundtrack. Wright was a good Bridge between all of them with the Atmosphere. IMO

[@aindriubradleymarshall6226]

You are correct. They always were an album band. "Animals" is a parable of 5 chapters.

[@lumpy9964]

This playlist for me would literally just be the stand alone harder rock bangers that bop on their own without all the story telling. However, they are few and far between since Floyd would always stick to their slow building conceptual style. The only songs I can really even think of that would work in a playlist like this are money, have a cigar, comfortably numb, the gold it’s in the…, and maybe another brick in the wall just for the vibes? Idk probably just not even worth it to make the playlist so yeah lol

[@gabrielomaralmendraspena3902]

This. This is why i have virtually zero floyd songs on my playlists. I LOVE floyd, but there's only a few couple of songs that work on their own, not because they're bad, but because You know it'd hit so much harder with the context behind, the prime example for this might be (for me at least) The trial and outside the wall.

[@forzer45]

I would consider myself as a pink floyd fan, i have listened to the full albums through many many times. But I still think that you can make a playlist work with pink floyd songs. Not solely, but as a part of a larger proge playlist.

[@labbaby189]

A PF playlist would have to be themed around some abstract concept. I made one some time back with songs from DSOTM to The Wall. I called it Summer of Darkness, and I amalgamated the themes of those albums to create a story about a boy that slowly loses his mind (DSOTM) over losing a girl he met over the summer (WYWH) while juggling his totalitarian job environment (Animals) and school life (The Wall). You can also create a playlist with a lot of their last albums, as they deal with communication issues, maturation and separation anxiety. You're not gonna necessarily start a party with random joints from Atom Heart Mother, but you can definitely create a cohesive listening experience with a handful of PF songs.

[@logancarrell2078]

Looking forward to the reviews in the new year happy new year

[@michaelmikeykellymikeydama5405]

I made a mega playlist of the Floyd of their best and some personal favourites in which I split it up into 6 parts. Whenever I make a playlist like this I have rules for myself to include at least 1 song from every album, not have songs from the same album play after one another unless they segue into each other and try to spread them out, have each part start and end with a song that sounds appropriate, all songs must be in their entirety and not just parts of it, and all songs must be their original recording. So this is my playlist: 1. Astronomy Domine 2. Cymbaline 3. What Do You Want from Me 4. Free Four 5. Speak to Me 6. Breathe 7. On the Run 8. Sheep 9. Atom Heart Mother ---- 10. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5 11. Welcome to the Machine 12. Time 13. Two Suns in the Sunset 14. In the Flesh 15. Run Like Hell 16. Fat Old Sun 17. High Hopes ---- 18. Hey You 19. The Great Gig in the Sky 20. Green is the Colour 21. The Fletcher Memorial Home 22. Arnold Layne 23. Take It Back 24. Jugband Blues 25. Echoes ---- 26. On the Turning Away 27. See Emily Play 28. When the Tigers Broke Free 29. Us and Them 30. Bike 31. Burning Bridges 32. Sorrow 33. Wish You Were Here 34. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 6-9 ---- 35. Dogs 36. Learning to Fly 37. Marooned 38. Fearless 39. Have a Cigar 40. Money 41. Another Brick in the Wall 1 42. The Happiest Days of Our Lives 43. Another Brick in the Wall 2 44. Another Brick in the Wall 3 45. Goodbye Cruel World ---- 46. One of These Days 47. Pigs 48. Flaming 49. Mudmen 50. The Narrow Way 51. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun 52. Louder than Words 53. Bring the Boys Back Home 54. Comfortably Numb Along the way I tweaked it to make it sound better such as switching Louder than Words and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and adding On the Run onto Breathe. Some songs are still segued together as they were in their albums, most of them from The Wall as only having part of the song loses the experience for me. I still have flaws with it though, the biggest being Us and Them seguing into Any Colour Your Like being cut to move into Bike. On the plus side in making a mega playlists, I seek to find what songs from different albums sounds best together; an example is Fat Old Sun and High Hopes having the same chime. Due to it being a 5.5 hour playlist, I have almost never listened to it from start to finish uninterrupted so I think starting and ending it the parts with a typical intro and outro suits them well. In conclusion, I still believe a Pink Floyd playlist works, but compared with just listening to the albums, it fairs weak. This may not be said with other bands. I take Slipknot as an example as none of their music are concept projects (although they do apply a psychological theme to each album), and for the single song that is, entitled Vermilion (in 2 parts), I had them put together for that playlist.

When I first got into Pink Floyd in the 1990s, I made a tape for my car with Darkside of the Moon on one side and Wish You Were Here on the other side.

I honestly believe that Echoes, One of These Days, Time, Comfortably Numb Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Us and Them and Dogs are the greatest pieces of music ever written in the last 100 years. Obviously just my opinion as I'm super biased. Pink Floyd is the greatest band that has ever existed and no one will ever be able to persuade me otherwise. Nine Inch Nails is a close second for me.

I completely agree. I have tried myself to come up with different playlist but none of them ever really worked so I always end up trashing them - even with cassette tapes from the distant past. Each album became one playlist itself for me - I have to listen from start to finish or I'll have a feeling of incompleteness like not watching a complete movie; gotta hear the whole thing in one sitting, like a great meal.

Pink Floyd helped shape my taste in music now, its what i grew up with in 6th to 8th grade, they are a band thats as unique as their name.

[@Greggorious123]

The term ‘Albums band’ is a bit of a meaningless cliche, and it often applies to bands that just don’t have good enough songs. However in the case of Floyd it is perfectly justified. You could argue that the Barrett era they were more of a pop singles band, the songs are more stand alone, but even then they’re still out of place on a playlist in my opinion. Imagine hearing a playlist of Queen, Deep Purple, REM, then Great gig in the sky comes on, it would stick out like a sore thumb. From Dark side onwards they are lyrically conceptual, but even before that the albums seem conceptual. ‘We will rock you’, ‘Walk this way’, ‘Good times bad times’, ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Alan’s psychedelic breakfast’, people would be like ‘What the fuck is this?’

[@rickeybarrett3596]

Hahaha, well put

There is actually a ton more you can add. Like adding Seamus before Dogs, Dogs of War after stop, Pigs on the Wings 1 and 2, Hey You before Comfortably Numb, The Last Cut after Comfortably Numb, etc. Lucifer Sam, and Jug band Blues before Echoes. "The Gold, its in the" can go after "When you're in."

The moment I realised this was when I was downloading mp3 for them was and I listened to Another Day in Our Lives (might be thinking of the wrong song) and didn't get that LEGENDARY transition into Another Brick in The Wall pt.2

[@craigblyth1080]

Yes, it's better to listen to their albums in one session BUT it is possible to set up a favourites track list for Floyd too, although diff to do, I've done both I've got a list that plays through all their released to general public material playing through it all one full album at a time, but I've also got a fave track listing of about 100 songs too. It's very hard to construct one because very hard to pick out your favourites because it's very nearly all brilliant but I've been a huge fan of Floyd for a long time so through my knowledge of their material I've managed to do it

[@maxsambucca2502]

I really enjoyed this Pink Floyd attempt of a compilation well done..I have done my personal favorites like on 2 cds so I have them handy in my car

[@BitStClair]

Nothing from the final cut? Two suns in the sun set , one of the few or the gunners dream? I would agree too much great music to just play a couple tracks.

[@danteuk8024]

The final cut is underrated, love the Gunners Dream and When the tigers break free.

[@andrewveatch2577]

Definitely. My personal favorite album.

[@lessimcdowell9897]

The man and the journey!

[@nouriaminzunza3467]

I always always play brain damage with eclipse. Never one without the other

[@heatherbeatricelilley9491]

I wonder if you know that Chuck Leavell of the Allman Brothers played on David Gilmour's last tour.

[@carpenoctem775]

Works for me. Got em on Pandora all day at work.

[@nouriaminzunza3467]

Shine on you crazy diamond 1-5 is my fav pink floyd song of allll time

[@AlexanderGreensmith]

Great idea, and makes total sense. More content like this please JT!

[@stordoy]

my judo teacher was adamant he had made a Pink Floyd workout playlist, but had lost it since it was on cassette.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I have used Run Like Hell on my running playlist, but that's probably about it.

[@amandadockery4457]

A playlist with all of the Pink Floyd songs is fantastic and it would definitely work

[@lessimcdowell9897]

My introduction to Pink Floyd was pulse live which had entire dsotm and tons of wish you were here, it may have had both entire albums on there

[@hibathebird]

I did an awesome Pink Floyd playlist called Wish You Were Here

[@BrendanJSmith]

James Rolfe had a pretty interesting idea of how to make a Pink Floyd playlist work. He makes the disclaimer at the beginning that Pink Floyd is an album band and their records are meant to be listened to in their entirety to truly appreciate and understand their music and they're not meant for a playlist at all. His idea was basically to structure the playlist like a planet. With the crust, outer core, and inner core, and then back to the outer core, and out through the crust. Check out his Playlist Junkie video on Pink Floyd to see what I'm talking about.

[@JTCurtisMusic]

I have seen his video, it's interesting. My playlists are meant to be timed to a vinyl record so it makes it more difficult.

[@costaliberta5969]

my personal 'short' list would NOT include Money, Wish You Were, Numb or Brick2 coz I'm sick and tired of them. perhaps Brick2 from its very beginning (daddy's flown cross the ocean) but still not sure. I'd also pick some earlier song like Emily Play. as for the 'long' takes i'd ALSO include Atom Heart (trimming the middle part) Set The Controls (ummagumma version) Careful... Eugene (pompeii) Shine On 2 (not 1) then I'd make a copy of The Final Cut. just for the fun of it.
