    I am 53 and I've been listening to Pink Floyd since I was 12. Most music that has been made sounds dated listening to it today. But some music is timeless. Really timeless. And most of what Pink Floyd created has that quality. And I don't know why but I love to see young people like yourself been taken over by the Floyd's magic hearing it for the first time. Me myself can dream every note, every tone of this masterpiece. And even after 40 years of listening it never bores me. The feeling that you felt comes over me every time I put in on and I know that counts for all of us. Those who are put under the spell of the mistery world of Pink Floyd.

      I found my brothers stash of vinyl albums, all the usual stuff from 1975. Montrose, Cream, Mott the Hoople, etc, but the Pink Floyd music was in a class of its own. Even though I was only 8 at the time, I recognized it for the greatness that the albums contained. And by the way, Floyd was the best concert I have ever gone to, period. A production like none other.

      Hey seewhatis, look into Tool for a harder rock sounding Floyd. I mean they don’t sound like Floyd at all, and have their own sound, but Tool is like Floyd with how it brings out emotion, and how deep the lyrics and over all music feels

      Heck, Pink Floyd albums are just that, complete albums. I don't even know why they have individual names for songs. You just have to listen start to end. I imagine they only have "song" names to make the record labels happy.

      It's an incredibly sad love song( album ) to their friend they watched slowly slip away and there was nothing they could do. What makes it so much more painful is there is a story about Syd coming to the studio while they were recording this and they almost didn't recognize what he had become.

    I asked for this album as a Christmas Present when I was a kid. Christmas Day morning I asked mom if she wanted to listen to it. The reply was along the lines of 'Not your shrieking modern stuff thanks'. I put it on the player anyway. I had to ask her for my copy of it back when I left home about 8 years later.

      Pink Floyd are one of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands of all time.[338] They have sold more than 250 million records worldwide, including 75 million certified units in the United States, and 37.9 million albums sold in the US since 1993.[339] The Sunday Times Rich List, Music Millionaires 2013 (UK), ranked Waters at number 12 with an estimated fortune of £150 million, Gilmour at number 27 with £85 million and Mason at number 37 with £50 million.[340]
      In 2004, MSNBC ranked Pink Floyd number 8 on their list of "The 10 Best Rock Bands Ever".[341] Rolling Stone ranked them number 51 on their list of "The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[342] Q named Pink Floyd as the biggest band of all time.[343] VH1 ranked them number 18 in the list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[344] Colin Larkin ranked Pink Floyd number 3 in his list of the 'Top 50 Artists of All Time', a ranking based on the cumulative votes for each artist's albums included in his All Time Top 1000 Albums.[345]
      Pink Floyd have won several awards. In 1981 audio engineer James Guthrie won the Grammy Award for "Best Engineered Non-Classical Album" for The Wall, and Roger Waters won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award for "Best Original Song Written for a Film" in 1983 for "Another Brick in the Wall" from The Wall film.[346] In 1995, Pink Floyd won the Grammy for "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" for "Marooned".[347] In 2008, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented Pink Floyd with the Polar Music Prize for their contribution to modern music; Waters and Mason attended the ceremony and accepted the award.[348] They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005, and the Hit Parade Hall of Fame in 2010.[349]
      Pink Floyd's The Wall exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
      The music of Pink Floyd influenced numerous artists; David Bowie called Barrett a significant inspiration, and The Edge of U2 bought his first delay pedal after hearing the opening guitar chords to "Dogs" from Animals.[350] Other bands and artists who cite them as an influence include Queen, Tool, Radiohead, Steven Wilson, Kraftwerk, Marillion, Queensrÿche, Nine Inch Nails, the Orb and the Smashing Pumpkins.[351] Pink Floyd were an influence on the neo-progressive rock subgenre which emerged in the 1980s.[352] The English rock band Mostly Autumn "fuse the music of Genesis and Pink Floyd" in their sound.[353]

      Pink Floyd is so amazing because they're such a singular experience in music. Most other bands, especially in rock music, are so embodied -- you hear them and almost can't stop yourself from moving, from getting revved up, from being pulled in. Pink Floyd does almost the opposite, it's like they reintroduce you to this inner space where you open up and whatever they're playing just floods into you. I think this song and Wish You Were Here are particularly emotional because they were celebrating and mourning Syd all at once and you can't help but feel that melancholy, but man, ANY Pink Floyd can do this to someone who actually listens.

    • @Dutch1961
      @Dutch1961 4 года назад

      Pink Floyd was never about the band members or even the band itself. It has always been about the music and the visuals in their live shows. The band members where just normal everyday guys. No flashy clothes, just jeans and t-shirts on stage. It was said that if they would go and stand in the audience at a gig, nobody would have recognized them.

    David Gilmour is by far not the best technical guitar player, but what makes him one of the best guitar players in the world is the emotion he is able to get out of a guitar. Listening to him play it is impossible not to feel whatever he is trying to evoke in the song. It's something not everyone is able to do, and most people would rather listen to that rather than a technically perfect player that can't invoke emotion into their playing.

    This looked a whole lot different on LSD back in the day when I first experienced Floyd

    If you don’t feel this song staring into your soul, you’re lying or you haven’t listen at all

    Your reactions to Floyd are like watching someone have a religious experience. Now I know how I looked when I first heard it. 😂😂

    Congratulations on achieving Pink Floyd Boss Level Status! Now listen to the 2nd half of the song, or better yet the whole of the Wish you were here album, start to finish. :D

      I think he needs to trip out from start to finish 1968 - 1984

    #1 - My sons name is Preston, so... yeah I dig ya. #2 - Floyd if the MUSIC OF MY LIFE! There is NO OTHER band that can make YOU FEEL without a single word. Their music is their words, and the emotion they can convey.. there is no other. I am 50, been listening as for 40+ years.. When I travel (which is all the time) Floyd is the music I listen to 100% of the time. You can work, read, etc.. while listening to it. Its deep, its beautiful, its emotional, and its REAL MUSIC. I feel bad for the youth of today who don't know REAL music. 2.5-3min songs where 75% is a repeated chorus is sad. Go listen to Floyd's Animals.. 17min songs with animal sounds and it feels right. Its not weird. Go smoke a J and watch The Wall (i've seen it 250+ times) and I still learn more and understand more every time. I love your reactions. You've found the path of the beam... may you have long days and pleasant nights enjoying Floyd for years to come. This is KA. ( wink to those that get this.. I believe they go hand in hand).

    Do the second part to this song. This is the intro to the album. And then the outro is the 2nd half

      Technically this was part 1-5. There are 12 parts that make the song almost 45 minutes long.

      I agree with him needing to listen to both parts however there are only 9 parts in the song.
      Here is a breakdown from Wikipedia
      "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part Pink Floyd composition ... Eventually an idea was raised to split the epic in two, Parts I-V and Parts VI- IX.

    I am in my 60's and their music and particularly this song puts me in a meditative state without drugs. It is purely sublime. I never tire of them. I don't listen every day because I treasure the time I spend listening to their music. As someone else said, it's an experience. Thank you Pink Floyd!

    If this song doesn't make you feel some kind of way, you don't have a soul
