My GOD, how did I miss this before, Pink Floyd's first album was amazing, as was the single "Arnold Layne", this lead me into looking at Syd Barrett's post Floyd solo work, was absolute genius as well.

It makes me wonder what Pink Floyd would have become had Syd not gone crazy (I'm not a big fan of Pink Floyd other than a few songs).

 

Syd Barrett solo work rules! Gigilo Aunt and Baby Lemonade FTW!!!

 

"Octopus" may seriously be one of the best songs I have ever heard.

 

Prisms.

 

lol

Actually that cartoon is what made me go look up early Pink Floyd songs.

 

i like that tune 'any colour you like' on dark side of the moon, i like the guitar on that one.

 

IMHO, the Pink Floyd studio albums in order of best to worst:

1. Dark Side of the Moon
2. Wish You Were Here
3. The Wall
4. Animals
5. Meddle
6. A Momentary Lapse of Reason
7. Division Bell
8. Obscurred by Clouds
9. A Saucerful of Secrets
10. Piper at the Gates of Dawn
11. Atom Heart Mother
12. The Final Cut
13. More
14. Ummagumma

As far as discovery old music, I'm starting to get into some Genesis

 

For me, my brother got me into The Marshall Tucker Band over Crimmus, and my uncle recently got me listening to The Kinks and some solo stuff by their lead singer. Ray something or another, can't recall.

Oh, and I've been listening to Poison's greatest hits a bunch. Love it.

I've always dug Pink Floyd's stuff. "Ummagumma" in particular is one of my non-Dark Side favorites.

 

I recently picked up a Pixies album that currently is playing nonstop. Now I'm going to the library looking for some more.

 

Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Beatles, and some of the older bands that were around before me

 

Blink 182, Neverending White Lights, Aphex Twin, Daz Dillinger, Kurrupt and The Killers.

Is it wrong that I didn't like Dark Side of the Moon?

EDIT: Also Kayne West and Nas.

 

I'm getting into old Alan Parsons.

 

Dr. Evil: "I will call this, the Alan Parson's Project"

 

This is basically what I do with music. A few years back it was AC/DC, but only Bon Scott AC/DC, not Brian Johnson AC/DC. Then it was Iron Maiden. This year I think I gotta see if I like Judas Priest. I probably will.

 

Some of Metallica's songs, but not all.

I also like some of Rammstein's songs, but I've actually liked them for a little while.

 

The Damned and also David Vanian & The Phantom Chords.

David Vanian and The Phantom Chords: "You and I"

The Damned: "Alone Again or"

 

Just today my boss turned me on to Yello - One Second

You know it if you've seen Ferris Beullers day off..... Ooooohhh Yeah. Actually titled - Oh Yeah... Anyhow, it's a great 80's album that really manages to (most of the time) avoid the usual electronic standard ho hum of most of the 80's and much of the album could actually be mistaken for an early 90's record. Plus, it's got a lot of kick ass tribal beats throughout and some great use of effects. It's not chill but it's not get up and break something music either. It's just pure awesome.

 

Bootsy's rubber band.

 

Lets see a few years ago it was The Who because of Tommy, Then Ac/Dc , Then CCR, About a month a go I heard Dean Martin's That's Amore and was blown away by it and have been shecking out his stuff.

 

I'm more into Rush, Led Zepplin, Tragically Hip and AC/DC. Including Def Leppard's Hysteria and Bon Jovi's Slippery when Wet.
