I got the last 3 remasters today (The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, A Saucerful Of Secrets, Soundtrack From The Film More), my collection is finally complete, and they are all now sitting in my glorious CD-size red milkcrate.

Thats a bit of a broad sweeping statement, I think there's a huge amount of respect for it among the Pink Floyd fanbase for anyone who's heard of him
[QUOTE=killerteacup;33748387]Their roots were not prog at all, Most prog musicians are blues/jazz players at heart
In fact, I'm fair sure I've read somewhere that Pink Floyd didn't consider themselves to be influenced by any bands particularly, they just got together and did what felt natural[/QUOTE]
hell yea jazz/blues

Although you can't deny the Syd era is absoloutely over-the-rainbow bars-in-the-window buggo.
I still thought it was fuckin' cool Syd picked Pink and Floyd out of two Piedmont Blues musicians from around my state, North Carolina and neighboring state South Carolina.
Background if anyone cares...
Pink Anderson was born in South Carolina and joined a traveling merchant/medicine show type guy to play guitar for him and get money. The old conman eventually retired and Pink went off on his own and mucked around here and there playing and even teaching musical stylings. He played with some other of the "Indian Remedy" bands, so to speak. Somewhere out there, there is some Pink Anderson record and four singles he recorded for Columbia. He died of a heart attack in the 70's. My dad met his son, Little Pink Anderson in a bar somewhere and asked if he could play my dad's guitar.
Floyd Council was born in my state of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Floyd began playing in the streets of Chapel Hill with his brothers under the name of the Chapel Hillbillies. He recorded with Blind Boy Fuller about twice in the 30's I believe. Anyway, Floyd suffered a stroke sometime in the 60's and never regained his singing or playing abilities, but was still intelligent and coherent. There are no solo Floyd things floating around, but a CD called Carolina Blues has six songs he recorded. Floyd said he recorded some twenty seven songs, seven being Blind Boy Fuller songs.
ANYWAY how did this get to naming Pink Floyd as such?
Syd saw the liner notes of a Blind Boy Fuller LP that read: "Curley Weaver and Fred McMullen, (...) Pink Anderson or Floyd Council - these were a few amongst the many blues singers that were to be heard in the rolling hills of the Piedmont, or meandering with the streams through the wooded valleys."
Anyway, if any of you have Spotify I suggest you go there and search up the Carolina Blues or Floyd "Dipper Boy" Council if you want to hear him.
Edit Again:
Well I'll be damned! They have some of Pink's recordings on Spotify too.

The fact that he can make songs like this work is the true mark of a genius.

[QUOTE=Mr._N;33744529]David Gilmour hates these bands in this order (first one being the most hated):
Yes
ELP
Genesis
King Crimson

If Pink Floyd actually cared for the music around them, they'd have been happier.
They managed to distance themselves from everyone.
It's only Gilmour who sacrificed his pride to perform with the likes of Tom Jones and Kate Bush.
Great man.
I thought it was normal for prog artists to hate other prog artists because of all the pretentiousness.

Badass mini milkcrate is badass.
I hate those logos in the top left though, ruins the cover art.
The logos are just stickers that I kept because it's a collection.
I thought they were only on the cellophane?
I took them off the cellophane because I wanted to keep them.

I think I got very close to Gilmour's tone on The Final Cut solo.

A: Another Brick II is called "We Don't Need No Education"
B: They think it's LOL ANARCHY LOL XD
C: They don't even TRY and find out the meaning behind it.
D: They think that if they take a FUCKING PICTURE OF A NORMAL BRICK WALL and name it ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL With lyrics and then put "based on We Don't Need No Education by Pink Floyd(hes a really good singer lolXD)" in their DEVIANTART descriptions, they're EDGY and COOL.
