Pink Floyd/King Crimson song contest

And I do love their pre Dark Side (or pre Echoes) music just as much as the post 70's... even if it's for very different reasons. I think their best moments on that period are the live recordings... they really could take otherwise short and simple songs into a whole new level. And about Wish you were Here, yeah, indeed you should have used Shine On... or at the very least Welcome to the Machine, but even more so Shine On (I bet it's mostly those two songs... or 3, depending if you consider Shine On one song or two... the ones that have made that album their highest rated on this site... I know those are the reasons that is MY favourite album from the band). Wish you were Here is sureley a favourite songs for many outside prog circles, but in here, yeah, it might be a well liked song, yet not a highlight. For me, my favourite albums are Wish you were Here, and Animals almost tied to it, and then perhaps not a very usual choice, but The Division Bell would be my third. Then, I don't know, I guess Dark Side, or Live in Pompeii... Ummagumma would be there if it were just the live album. However, I do love lots of stuff from most of their albums, there's just no other band that has so much that I like and so little that I don't.

Well, the one reason why I love Pink Floyd so much, is that even their eighties albums they have their unique Floyd sound. They really haven´t got any totally poor albums. Also I really love their seventies lives, for example Fat Old Sun is quite different, a lot better song in `71 live. Also today´s I mostly listened Dark Side Of the Moon as a live version from `72 Rainbow Theatre, it´s really great when On the Run & Great Gig are those travel & mortal sequences with totally different music.

Good Stuff. For me it was between Dogs & Schizoid Man. I went with Dogs.

Actually... no, you're right. I was thinking they only got one 80's album, but there's also The Final Cut. I guess I like both albums about the same, though for very different reasons. Fat Old Sun live is wonderful... almost turned into an epic... it sort of reminds me of how the Rainbow song "Catch the Rainbow" sounds on the live album "On Stage" (actually, Deep Purple and Blackmore related bands so seem to do live songs very great too, if you haven't checked them out yet). As for Dark Side live... I do love it (the version that came as an extra on the latest re-releases), but I do like the studio one better for the most part. The studio one has all the sound of the new Pink Floyd that we would hear on the next two albums (and already heard on Echoes), but the live version still sounds like their previous works, which is both good and well, not bad at all, but I'm used to the more polished studio version.

Several Species of Small Furry Animals was our band name in 1989-1994. Then I started band, that name was Red.
