Pink Floyd / David Gilmour ripping off The Alan Parsons Project & others?

[Eclipse]

what took me by surprise were not the song similarities themselves, but the fact that I've completely forgotten what "raven" means and then had to google it

[WebBrown]

I did not listen Raven from APP before, so I give it a go and I did not find any similarities with HH at all, but then again speaking about a lot other songs from APP I must say he share a lot common with DB and I donot think about riffs at all, then more entire music in general and lyrics, but then again that would be me …

I really like how both E.A.Poe and APP pay attention to absolute ‘nothing’ as something great and very much alive … I think it is ‘theirs’ will that made them both so good …

Speaking about APP songs I really love ‘Nothing left to lose’ especially how music change after 2/3 of song right after words ‘nothing left to say …

No, I gues you will proubably need to live with my English and get used to a fact that I am a bit different then you are…

The forum rules are that people post in English. Let's be a little more tolerant of the fact English is not everyone's first language. I couldn't order a coffee in a foreign language, so WebBrown is doing just fine.

[ZiggyZipgun]

I've been tolerating it all month while others have also commented on it, but a lot of WebBrown's posts don't make any sense. It's actually kind of rude to make them post in English rather than adding an automatic translation feature to the forum. You might as well add it now since Standard Chinese will become the lingua franca in less than 20 years.

Yes, thanks kindly to both of you I assume , especially to you ‘eclipse… It is a great version, although I love more stuff like Warren Zevon does, but I think this is not place and time for him, sadly… I gues I have to explore a bit more when it comes to AP music and so far I find both Eye in the sky and The turn of a friendly very great … Any suggestions ?

I understand my english is not par excellence, but speaking about bare words I donot see why somebody should get so arroused since words itself have no meaning at all, beside poetry off course…
In best regard, I donot think everything is made from thin paper …

So will everyone in Pink Floyd, and that tit Roger Waters too.

Again, I immediately regret listening to anything referenced on this forum. "The Raven" has very few musical ideas, and it runs each one of them into the ground.

It has more ideas than some Floyd songs!

[WebBrown]

It has more ideas than some Floyd songs!

We’ll, off course in Raven you’ll find more ideas then in a lot PF songs as Cymbaline or Scarecrow for example, especially in E.A. Poe’s Raven, but how or could you be more specific ?

[WebBrown]

Speaking about ‘nevermore’ while tappin’, you could go either way, still I found nothing in between Raven and those words …
