Yes, but I think in the worst debut album thread

It wasn't me, but you honestly can't say its their finest work!!

[mitch.twentyfive]

no, but it wasn't really the same band after syd left.

It's still an odd, challenging album. It's got funny, witty parts, it has occasionally creepy soundscapes, it touches on science fiction.

I like it heaps better than all the stuff they did in the 80s, that, to me, was elevator music.

In terms of "Blowing my mind, what the hell is this (but it's awesome)" I think Napalm Death-Scum is up there.

agree. it seemed that all four of them really needed each other to produce that classic Floyd sound.
roger's solo work is all pretty average imo, and the Gilmour led Floyd wasn't anywhere near as good as the 70's line up.

[telefiend]

Dunno if there's any rap-heads here, but Illmatic by Nas was a freak of a debut

I still rate Division Bell as one of my favourite albums although lyrically it wasn't as interesting or punchy as the Waters/Gilmour era Floyd; you can really hear his absence in the music.

Santana's cover of Back In Black, with that Nas guy on vocals, was one of the worst covers I've heard.

The guy was just reading the lyrics sheet out like he was Sam Hunt

[Single coil]

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I am, That's what I'm not.
Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals (although this is actually their second album, I've included it as I don't count their shoe debut).
The Style Council - Introducing The Style Council.
Paul Weller - Paul Weller.
Ben Harper - Welcome to the Cruel World.
The Charlatans - Some Friendly.
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age of the Understatement.
Miles Kane - The Colour of the Trap.
The Pixies - Come On Pilgrim.
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses.

Another favourite. Makes you want to go fast if driving.

I reckon pros and cons of hitchhiking is his best lyrically, and the clapton guitar is damn fine. Gilmour Floyd is Floyd Lite, its the Diet Coke of Floyd.

well said.

I liked 'the final cut' which was essentially a Waters solo album.
