Pink Floyd 1970-1980

[pete's montreux]

Is there any other artist in rock and roll [I'm excluding Jazz and classical for obvious reasons] that had a better 10 year run?

Atom Heart Mother [1970]
Meddle [1971]
Obscured By Clouds [1972]
the Dark Side Of the Moon [1973]
Wish You Were Here [1975]
Animals [1977]
the Wall [1979]

I'm looking for suggestions because if It's on par with this, then I'd really like to hear it.

[L.Kizzle]

Stevie Wonder


1970 Signed, Sealed, and Delivered
1971 Where I'm Coming From
1972 Music of My Mind
1972 Talking Book
1973 Innervisions
1974 Fulfillingness' First Finale
1976 Songs in the Key of Life
1979 Journey through the Secret Life of Plants

I'll be at the Roger Waters concert on Tuesday. I am kinda excited. I've seen Pink Floyd in concert once back in the early 90s but it was w/o Waters. Never seen Waters live so I'm looking forward to it.

I just hope he will keep his politicking to a minimum. I don't want to hear his political rants, just his music!


BTW, you should include The Final Cut on your list. I know it wasn't released until '83, but most of not all of the tracks were written around the same time The Wall was.

[FCN]

Oh, I think The Beatles might give them a run for their money.

Crazy amount of albums released in the 60s

Guess it depends what your definition of a quality 10 years is. There are plenty of artists who put out 2 or 3 albums in that time span that I would rather have than that whole pink floyd collection. So from my perspective that would make for a better 10 year run. But it seems like you're taking quantity into the equation too so......meh.

Yeah the first few albums on this list leave a lot to be desired. Syd's departure left a gaping hole of creativity and the Gilmour lineup didn't exactly hit the ground running. As great as the last four are, if we're picking a single ten year span to call the best I'm not taking one with lemons.

Although, there really aren't any bands that put out consistently great albums for 10 straight years without missing once or twice so maybe that's unreasonable.

Just picked up The Wall at a thrift store for a buck fifty. Never realized it was a concept album....good stuff. Not a huge, huge Floyd fan, but it's good Classic Rock nonetheless.

Yeah man, it's pretty weird that Pink Floyd made a concept album.

lol not sure if this is sarcasm or not (I'm assuming it is), but a bunch of their albums were concept albums.

Rolling Stones too, had some great longevity.

[gigantes]

to the people who bash on the early floyd-
"atomheat mother" and "meddle" both contain plenty of miscues, but plenty of classic tunes. and where the eff is "ummagumma" on that list???


Syd's departure left a gaping hole of creativity and the Gilmour lineup didn't exactly hit the ground running.
you 'syd fans' are some of the most amazing hypocrites i've ever heard. when discussing great rock, alterna-rock, art-rock, or any other form of rock, you people are never to be found and never to be heard from.

yet when discussing pink floyd greatness, there's always a couple of you cockroaches scurrying out of the woodwork, trying to put other people down over nothing.

FACT: i own the entire pink floyd catalogue, most of it on vinyl, and the syd barrett stuff is without a doubt the weakest material they ever recorded. at best, it sounds like 3rd-rate 60's psychadelic music.

if one was actually interested in hearing the best of 60's psychadelia, one could always tune in to free internet radio:
http://www.techwebsound.com/

EDIT- BTW, yes there is nobody in the history of rock who came close to outdoing the beatles over ten years. even better was their five-year span from about 1965-1970... simply staggering in output, creativity and sheer excellence.

What in that post makes you think I'm a "syd fan" and where did I put anyone down?

The real annoying thing about music discussion is when vinyl-guy comes in with his previously formed opinions and insists on posting one, regardless of whether it applies or not.

Because Ummagumma was released in 1969.

Well it came out in '69 and he was only listing '70s. However, since the last on his list is '79, that '69 release could be included and it still fits the 10-year span rule.

Of course Buckethead, while awesome, is not "better" than The Beatles, but the sheer volume of his album output the past 10 years beats them.

[Jailblazers7]

Id personally say the Beatles run was better. They were so good in the 60s that its almost not fair.

Well yeah, but I was talking about just volume; who's put out the most albums in a 10 year span. Not sure how the OP intended it to be but on this comparison I am not taking quality into account at all.

In any case, I was the first to mention The Beatles, so I win the thread regardless =P

I do wonder if this 23 albums in 10 years by Buckethead can be beaten though. Has anyone put out more than that in 10 years?

[Jailblazers7]

I didn't direct that post towards you I meant it towards the OP and thread in general. I don't think I've ever even listened to Buckethead.

To each his own. I know he is not for everyone, and some might consider his music "noise".

There can be no denying his talent though. He is one of the top guitarists out there.

check your OP. i've rarely heard someone as dripping wet for syd, even from the average syd fan.


The real annoying thing about music discussion is when vinyl-guy comes in with his previously formed opinions and insists on posting one, regardless of whether it applies or not.
and the even more annoying thing is when MP3-guy comes in with his recently formed opinions and insists on posting them, regardless of whether they make the slightest bit of sense or whether they contain obvious rebuttals just waiting to kick him in the ass.

I know what was in my post, I'm the one who wrote it. I was asking you what about it made you think I was a "syd fan" and where specifically I was "putting down" someone. It's kind of how discussion works, so feel free to take another swing. Or just go out of your way to point out that you have a record collection again in case somebody missed it the first time.

hehe... well met, walter. that's worth a rep.

sometimes i need to remember that not everyone on ISH is going to fall apart / disappear or resort to profanities / hyperbole when challenged.

perhaps we can meet again on a more serious issue front sometime, such as within the many realms of science...
