Everyone is like Shine On Part 1 is so great! But they forget part 2, which is the best song ever. The 2 minutes of slide are perfect!

SOYCD 6-9 is good, just as good as 1-5 I think.

I think Country Song is very underrated, it's a great song.
I also think Take It Back is underrated, it's a great track and the only tracks from TDB people ever talk about is CBTL and HH.

That's a great one too. Great sax solo.

I like 1-5 much more, and I like the first half of 6-9, but the rest is kind of boring to me. I'd agree with you on Country Song and what people said about Childhood's End, but I've never really liked Take it Back. It's just an average pop-like song IMO. And I don't think HH and CBTL are the only ones talked about on TDB, because Marooned is a great song too.

Vera is another one--some people really hate this song, but I think it's a heartbreaker--an example of Roger saying more with a few words than he often says with many.

On the other hand, Vera is completely pointless and The Wall would be just as good without it, IMO. I really don't like Vera.....

Funny because the same could be said about Roger's works with you.

That's not true at all. While I don't care for most of The Wall or all of The Final Cut, if someone says "Hey, The Final Cut is a great album", I don't immediately follow it up by saying "Uhh no, it's sshit.". If the thread was about that album, and the person asked for our opinions about it, I would post said opinion (only a lot more civil) but I wouldn't bludgeon people over the head with it either. I'd state it once that would be it. There would be no need to constantly harangue people with it.

I get that the latter two PF albums aren't universally loved like their earlier stuff but it really hocks me off when a poster starts a thread like this and someone responds with a song off either of those albums, the next post HAS to be about how much they thinks the album is garbage. It's like......we get it. You don't always have to tell us.

You don't have to get it. People love/hate what they do for a reason that may be entirely personal to them. My love for The Division Bell is different than my love for The Dark Side of the Moon. I love the latter album because it's the first PF album that I ever really got into, it is what made me go out and get as many of their albums and listen to as many of their songs as I possibly could. The Division Bell is an album whose themes I can relate to on a personal level, and whose songs have touched me, especially High Hopes and Cluster One. Someone else may love those songs or that album for entirely different reasons. Cluster One was a song that got me through a close friend's death. So while you think it's garbage, to me it's therapeutic.

The "classic rock" stations around here play only Money and ABITW pt. 2.....maybe you'll hear WYWH or Comfortably Numb on a special end-of-the-year countdown or something, but that would be the exception.

Now contrast that with Led Zeppelin who has about 14 or 15 songs played on the radio regularly. Which is a shame because they overplay the poorer songs (IMO) and don't play the better songs enough.

Very true indeed. Then again, it was Zepp & The Who that were just as famous for destroying their hotel rooms and their sexual escapades. etc..........They drew alot more attention to themselves off stage.

Which makes me grateful that the Floyd didn't do that. I'm sure all four of them had their peccadilloes and did things off stage that they'd prefer we not know about......but we don't know about them, do we? We know Rick had a cocaine problem but aside from that really.....all we know about the band was what they did on stage and the music they made. Which frankly, is how it should be. I'd have a higher opinion of Led Zeppelin if I didn't know about their groupie shenanigans.
