Anyone else think Learning To Fly would have been so much better if it was an acoustic song?

Everyone seems to hate Momentary Lapse...I like it, I think it was better than many of the albums that Roger did, especially The Final Cut and A Saucerful of Secrets...I like One Slip, I like A New Machine, I somewhat like Dogs of War...

That's the great thing about Pink Floyd's songs: they're leave mixed results...

I dislike "Nobody Home," Roger's In the Flesh versions of "Shine On" (you know, the ruined guitar solo before the first verse) and "Wish You Were Here." I also hate "Terrapin," "Keep Talking," and "The Great Gig in the Sky."

But Pink Floyd makes the most consistent albums. Wish You Were Here and Animals are my favorites because I can listen from start to finish and never get bored or skip a track. I am a big fan of the Moody Blues, but found their albums inconsistent with a few lame songs. PF and MB are two of the best of the genre (whatever that would be).

I agree that "Learning to Fly," and the rest of Momentary Lapse, would have been better if it didn't have the lame 80s sound to it. Though that probably couldn't even save "Dogs of War," which sounds too monotone.

The real question, however... Which do you prefer: "Time" or "Money?"

I choose "Time" because Money sounds too much like something out of a porno movie, must be the PULSE version I heard that made me hate it. But it is fun to play on bass!

You are a weird person... :wink:
How can you possibly hate that song? :x

Definitely "time". The songs is more dynamic than Money and I like the guitarsolo's better.

Indeed. In fact, I don't like Money at all.

On Money, I quite like the transition from the saxophone solo to the guitar solo, and the solo itself.

You obviously are no Floyd fan. I love all of their songs.

I guess being a "fan" doesn't mean to love ALL the songs... we have to recognise the fact that there is some serious CRAP in the Floyd catalogue...

I hate Money. I always skip that song or turn the radio station if it comes on. Other than that, I like every song on DSOTM...especially Breathe and Us and Them.

Later taters.

It seems like Floyd fans are just the same as Floyd members...
They all think they're Pink, and deny anybody else is :wink:

The thing is I don't care what song it is I love them all equally, take the Meddle album for example, people only like Echoes, and One Of These Days, I've listened to the album well over two hundred times. When I had the vinal I wore it out, and HAD to get the CD. So, I know a little bit about Pink Floyd's songs, and the enjoyment you get from them. Concider the reason why most of those songs are bad to you is that they were back in the sixties, and that kind of music back then was like rap when it first. Think about that, and none of them are bad.

The worst of all are all contained in A Momentary Lapse.
I can't really stand any of them, starting from On the Turnin Away...
It makes you feel as if you had drank a big jar of honey and cream...
TWEEEEEE!
Gilmour needs someone to counterpart his composing (the same as Waters, but here in a much lower degree).
