So yeah..

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

For years I've been saying that Pink Floyd sucks, is boring, etc....

That all changed until on a whim I bought "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" with original frontman Syd Barrett

Damn!!!

Then I bought all the Floyd standards...Dark of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall...etc...

At 32 years old, I'm a newcomer to Pink Floyd, and boning up on all of Floyd's history.

Yea, I know...I should have sooner, I can't call myself a rock fan if I didn't like Floyd....yeah yeah yeah...

They're better than Zep though!

Now at amazon.com, "Scott Pick's Pink Floyd's Greatest Hits":

"The Nile Song"
"See Emily Play"
"There's No Way Out Of Here"
"Fat Old Sun"
"Wish You Were Here" (single version)
"Pigs (Three Different Ones)"
"Mother"

Okay, so I took a liberty at throwing solo Gilmour in there...

That's a good list. I'd add "One of These Days I'm Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces." For a good sample of early Floyd, pick up "Relics."

Excellent place to start. Always was a fan of "Atom Heart Mother" and "Animals" if I had to sit and listen to an album straight through. Although neither time out in synch to "The Wizard Of Oz"...

Don't mind him, he's just mad that Marshall didn't win anything this year...

:lol:

"The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" CD I got has a few songs from "Relics"...but I might pick that one up too. I'd really like to get Syd's "The Madcap Laughs"

Not really Dr. Whiplash.

You see, if myself or someone else posts a thread about a certain music group, television show, sports team, etc...that someone else doesn't like, they are entitled to take away attention from the thread and put said attention on themselves or whatever they think is "funny" or "witty" about the aforementioned thread. Needless to say, all the attention gets put on said person and takes away from the thread, the other children in the class...sensing something revolutionary is about to take place, join in on all the jolly good fun. Hence, a thread about something that has nothing to do with the person in any way, shape, or form who took away attention from the thread and put it upon themselves now looks upon themselves as king.

In other words, when one gigantic, hairy ape starts throwing his shit, the rest join in...

Onto the subject at hand....

Pink Floyd is going to release a box set December 11 called "Oh, By the Way" which consists of all of their releases, including the ones with Syd. It's a bit pricey but it would be worth it to have all of their stuff...

I, for one, think Pink Floyd may be the most overated band in history. No, check that, The Beatles are the most overated band in history. That having been said I have no problem with someone else liking them. I just don't don't care for them myself. If someone else likes them, more power to them.

Oh yeah, and fuck Ohio State.
