Roger spent his entire life trying to surpass this and failed.
>>130861498>I'VE GOT A BIKE YOU CAN RIDE IT IF YOU LIKEliterally MI6 funded Circus music
>>130861545>Whimsey is... LE BAD
>>130861498Lucifer Sam - A CIA familiar spirit coded as a Siamese cat. "Always sitting by your side" — that's the handler watching you through the alters they installed.
Floyd was better when they were making 20 minute epics and Roger seemed more interested in making emotional personal music with a purpose which is not what Piper was
>>130861648They weren't and you know it
>>130861545>if i don't get it it's the government
>>130861498SYD IS HOT! SO SUCKABLE
>>130861674No I don't, their best albums are Atom Heart Mother, Dogs, and Meddle. Piper is a different band, The Wall is all Roger with barely any sense of the band, Dark Side is good but easily the most pop centric of their albums up to that point. Lifelong listener and fan, Dogs is their peak imo
>>130861648if you don't think Syd's music is personal i suggest you come back and listen to his records
I told a black girl at work 'Did you know George Floyd's brother was caucasian? He was called Pink Floyd' - but she didn't understand.

>>130861498Syd was based. Also, I'm surprised Roger's army of troons and bots haven't come to this thread and called anyone who criticizes him a Jew or whatever.
>>130861648>Roger seemed more interested in making emotional personal musicAnd political slop.
>>130861498Roger albums sound nothing like this
Syd led Floyd sucked. It is what it is.
>>130862707Sorry there isn't enough MUH DEAD DADDY for you.
>>130861498This would have been a true statement if Animals did not exist.
>>130861610Bike does not sound whimsical, it sounds borderlined demonic. I can't explain it but when I listen to it I can just hear Syd slowly losing his mind as he succumbs to drugs and mental illness
>>130862716No one outside of England would even know who Syd is without muh dead daddy.
>>130863121You mean normies like you?
>>130863154>>130861498Funny you say that since this one isn't better than most psychedelia from around the time such as early Soft Machine or CaravanThe reason you speak of this particular album instead of all the other albums from the time is simply because it's the earliest LP by one of the most acclaimed bands of all time. So you get ez hipster points by convincing yourself that Syd was some mad tortured genius and that his tunes about a mouse named Gerald were better than Animals or whatever
>>130863154If being a normie means I don't pretend to love mid-to-dogshit music just to seem deep or interesting because I have nothing else going for me, then yeah, I'm a normie.
>>130861498This but Saucerful is better.
>>130863294Sorry, but it is in fact better than Animals. Deal with it.
>>130862811>schizo tries to understand other schizo
>>130863319You know what. I think you're right. I was listening to Lucifer Sam right now and I really like when Syd moves down the guitar neck one half step at a time like a 7 year old. That cat's something I can't explain!
>Piper better than AnimalsYou people have lost your fucking minds.
>>130861545\thread
>>130863294Caravan had three good songs: the last two on For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night and "Can't be Long Now." The rest was bad. Soft Machine is fine, but too aimless to be considered good. Syd Floyd is better than both of those bands.
>>130863345>>130863362Sorry you got filtered by whimsy
>>130862707Because there's no politics?
>>130863381Because the songs suck.
>>130863389Filtered
syd's actual name was Roger and that was what he was known as by the people closest to him.so what are you saying here, you don't like the Syd solo albums?
>>130863429Actually they called him Roger because he was always Rogering yer mum.
>>130863377
>>130863377Wyatt & his gang had le whimsy too but they were actually good though
>>130863539Playing with your dolls?
>>130863559There’s only room for one contrarian in this thread
Trendy words like whimsy piss me off so much. The last one I remember is demur.
>>130863381Did Pink Floyd have any songs where the lyrics were like HEY THIS IS ABOUT POLITICS AND THIS VERY SPECIFIC POLITICAL THING rather than vague references with common themes. Genuine questions because I don't know and can't think of any. I know that one song in Animals he says White House you charade.
>>130861498
>>130861545fpbp
>>130861498Syd isn't fit to to carry Roger's jock strap
>>130862811pretty cut and dry love song
>>130863362yeah its not even close, Sheep is probably the most climactic moment of their entire discography and Dogs has some of the best vocals they ever did and amazing lead guitar aswell
>>130861701You're such a fan that you are calling the 'Animals' album 'Dogs'.
>>130863869kek I've been listening to Floyd for over 16 years now and Animals was one of the first records I got into after Wall and Dark Side, minor mistake because I'm typing haphazardly at work
>>130863575it's a dangerous game to try to out-hip the hipster but seeing that OP is a faggot we are going to play it
>>130863912That's certainly one explanation.The other is that you're full of shit.Let me guess. 'The Wall' is called 'Educayshun' too, right? But only when you're 'typing haphazardly at work'.
>>130861498Syd Barrett is the most overrated faggot in music
>>130861498This album is garbage
>>130861498he surpassed it on the very next album
>>130861701AHM, meddle, and Wish you were here*

>>130863600Money, Us and Them, and everything from the Wall.
rog surpassed it with the final cut, amen
>>130863925>Roger Waters is the most overrated faggot in musicFTFY
>>130861638What’s with all the Project Monarch stuff all over this site lately?
>>130863539Syd was objectively the best instrumentalist in Pink Floyd
>>130863362I listened to Animals last month and the sterility of the music combined with the memory of thinking it was profound as a teenager was immensely cringe-inducing. when I heard the pig sounds followed by a fucking scifi laser that announce the song about pigs I was on the verge of killing myself
>>130864454Seems like you may be projecting your own insecurity and fear of judgement onto the art. You should look into that.
>>130861957was the "electric shock accident" a cover story for the LSD?
just listened to the final cut yesterday, people can criticize the songwriting there but i think the production part is immense
>>130864489>projecting>insecurityreddit-tier pop psychology
>>130861638interesting
>>130867061
>>130861498This album and all of their Syd-era material sucked

>>130863929Shit tastes as usual
>>130861498>>130861610>>130863377the emperor has no clothes
>>130869266You have no whimsy.
I could never get into Pink Floyd. It makes me want to fall asleep.
>>130863600He says "Hey you Whitehouse, haha charade you are" it's a reference to Mary Whitehouse who was a moral crusading conservative reactionary figure of the time
>>130861498Roger may have failed but HOWEVER
>>130869266What's that supposed to mean?
>>130861957>a Jewshoo yoo
>>130864011What specific political thing do the lyrics of Money and Us and Them talk about?
i realized Syd was a genius when i listened to the isolated guitar track of Astronomy Domine
>>130861498Syd Floyd is twee pap. Tired of contrarians
>>130861498Have always disliked the cover of this album. Something like the cover of Saucerful would have worked better. A bit more psychedelic than looking through crystal glass.
Best PF was near & after Syd left.Basically everything off Germin/ation & Dramatis/ation
they immediately surpassed this album with saucerful, it's better than post wall floyd I'll give it thatsyd's solo albums have better songs than piper as well
>>130863950not that guy, but is it the ending riff of sheep?
>>130874051Cope
>>130873435Money is an anti-capitalism song, and as for Us and Them see pic related.
>>130869266is the emperor hot?
>>130861648He just wanted to make sad music, because he missed his dad.
>>130863362>animals better than meddlelol. lmao, even
>>130875660And also blame everything on white people or capitalism.
Piper is their most influential album
>>130861498yes
