Until I was about 16 years old, the only Pink Floyd song that I knew was "Another Brick In The Wall" like (sadly) most of the young population. I saw "The Wall" in one occasion, but I didn't really pay attention.
That all changed when I one day saw a video in which "David Gilmour" played a solo piece for some Fender anniversary. That's when my interest in Pink Floyd began to grow, though my focus back then was David Gilmour. Pink Floyd was just his band back then. From back then, I started to listen each time to more Pink Floyd though I always sticked with their most known hits. But my interest in them really BOOSTED when I found the "P.U.L.S.E" tour video in Video Google. It just left me amazed. The lightning effects, the music... But what most shocked me was the "Comfortably Numb" second solo. I still say that it's the best solo ever played (the P.U.L.S.E version one).
Well what pushed me to write about how much Pink Floyd pwn, is "Echoes". Yesterday I found their song "Echoes", and it left me breathless. Probably one of the best songs ever in my opinion. How it starts slowly, and then proceeds to a psychedelic vocals part, just to then go to an awesome funky bass line with David Gilmour playing one of his epic solos, and then it goes to the ambientation part in which they again go to the smooth and calm intro, just to slowly ariste and get into a climax.
So after hearing "Echoes", I just felt the huge urge to write this blog as a tribute to Pink Floyd and to explain why they are the best band ever.
well uri, they definitely made some unforgetful albums and are a land mark in music history. Although I have to say that I havent liked one song pink floyd has made since roger waters left. maybe they were the best band ever, but i think that title has passed.
