Pink Floyd intro

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I only put the albums with good introductions. it was tough for me, either WYWH which is the classic 7 minute intro or The Wall's intro which is grand, majestic, yet tragic at the same time. I'm probably gonna go with WYWH, although they all introduce their respective albums very well.

Poll Question: What PF album has the best intro to the album?

	The Wall, for some personal reasons amongst others, not the less relevant ones...

	WYWH definitely. Dark Side could also work as an intro.

	In The Flesh? works great, especially for the film.

	I like the rowboat intro to A Momentry Lapse of Reason actually!

	Surely "Wish You Were Here". Slow intros fading in from the silence are truly a trademark of the post-psychedelic days of this group.

	For me, WYWH. I'd never realized how good PF albums ' beginnings are.

	How can you just ignore "Signs of Life" from A Momentary Lapse of Reason and then have "Cluster One" and frekin' "Pigs on the wing" in the poll?
	Bigger on the inside.

	I'll have to go with the flow and vote for the utterly majestic intro to WYWH. That said, I have a weakness for the PF-go-hard-rock wallop that is "In the Flesh?".

	i love both In The Flesh and Wish You Were Here intro, but for my money it doesn't get better than the truly majestic and epic begining of Atom Heart Mother; in fact the whole song is pure genius

	Shine On You Crazy Diamond is quite possibly PFs best work.
