One of my favorite Pink Floyd albums which I happen to own is The Piper at the Gate of Dawn. Done in '67 when Syd Barret was still in the band it is shear insanity. Wildest tunes to listen to while baked. I'd reccomend Pow. R. Toc. H. and Bike.

On a Making Of DSotM DVD I have, it gives some interviews with Roger, David, Rick and Nick, and even though it's from the 90s, Roger has a horribly faint voice. David's still comes strong. I'd much rather go see one of David's shows than Roger's, though.
Great find! My favorite song from SfoS is probably Lucifer Sam, Chapter 24, or Astronomy Domine.
Lucifer Sam and Astronomy Domine are on Piper at the Gates...Quote:

Give me Gilmour any day! :D
^^Yeah..BUT
I step back and appreciate Roger Waters as a musician.
Im pretty sure he wrote most of the WALL...if not all of it
AND...you have to BE a musician to be able to even play with that band...
You cant just know how to play an instrument....you've got to know how to read music, know rythyms....and for the 17 minute songs of pink floyd....it takes a lot of practice
Yeah I understand that, and I don't know where that anti-Waters rant came from; I mean, that's not even what the thread's about.. lol My bad, my bad :) Thanks for posting that vid!
Great find. More is a an amazing album.
