The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2003 EIGHTY-FUCKING-TWO???? Unbelievable, fucking pathetic. Oh shit, don't worry man: only about 70 places behind cock-n-load Kurt. I knew the guy with the Battersea Power Station in his avatar would agree with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and your Zeppelin hate is getting to be too much for me. I won't say Jimmy Page is the best guitarist ever, but he's not #70 either. It's just that I've seen you bash Led Zeppelin several times before, and it really makes you look like you don't know what you're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zoidberg 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2003 Zeppelin's played out, my friend. I used to be a huge fan, now I can't stand them. in Jack White's defense: you have to realize that he uses a very bad guitar, so he is only able to do a limited amount of guitar work. I doubt that even Clapton could make that POS work. But whenever White plays a Gretsch or a Gibson, it's beautiful sounding. Listen to "Elephant"...it's got some good shit on there. and Kurt Cobain shouldn't even be on the list. That's just stupid. Chuck Berry before SRV? Noooo...Berry may have been revolutionary, but Vaughn had much better work, and how many people can do a solo with a guitar behind their head? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People will forever hear Stairway To Heaven, and want to hear more. Same with Pink Floyd. As long as there are pissed-off high school youths, The Wall and Dark Side Of The Moon will sell.

Guest BAR Report post Posted August 30, 2003 The Wall would sell a hell of a lot better if it wasn't £30. Damn straight, my disc 1 got stolen from the car. I still got disc 2, the case, book, etc. Usually I'd buy another one but 30 quid? Hmm. I just bought PULSE a couple of weeks ago, that's was over £30. Gilmour is one rich bastard who ain't giving one penny to his 8 kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Im dying to find The Wall on the cheap somewhere. I also refuse to pay £12 for Wish You Were Here, when it only has 5 songs on it. Five songs but still twelve tracks. It doesn't matter how they subdivide it--it's about forty minutes of absolutely great music from start to finish. Best Floyd album ever, maybe?

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Best Floyd album is Animals no doubt. While I think Page is a tad over-rated, and definitly sloppy when tempo starts to pick up, he shouldn't be 70. Put him in the 50's for sure. Les Paul got acknowledge. And also Zakk Wylde can play behind his head, and play with his teeth, and also Jimi Hendrix as well.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Okay, as much as I like Nirvana even I will admit that Kurt Cobain did nothing innovative on the guitar. He probably should be on the list as a nod to the band, but at somewhere like 80. Why has no one badmouthed the fact that Tony Iommi isn't higher than he is?

Funnily enough, the comparison of stairway and high hopes has actually crossed my mind, probably because of Gilmours awesome solo at the end. It also has great, even emotional lyrics.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2003 I didn't like Division Bell that much at first, and I basically ignored it for a few years. My uncle put it back on last october, and i was unaware I had this little gem. I still think Animals is the best album followed by WYWH, Meddle and DSOTM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 31, 2003 Noooo, it's all about DSOTM and prior. They had flashes after Dark Side, but prior to that, they just did a lot more with what they had at their disposal. They just seem more creative and ballsier in that time period, as opposed to settling into the groove of solid progressive rock. Meddle, Animals. Dark Side of the Moon, and A Saucerful of Secrets.

Guest BAR Report post Posted August 31, 2003 I still think Animals is the best album followed by WYWH, Meddle and DSOTM Agreed on Animals. Here's my top 5... 1. Animals 2. Wish You Were Here 3. P.U.L.S.E. 4. Dark Side of the Moon 5. The Wall I enjoy 'Meddle' but hate 'San Tropez'. I think 'The Final Cut' is under-rated as it has a few gems on there. Yeah, I echo the sentiments: 'The Division Bell' is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I echo the sentiments: 'The Division Bell' is great. I'm just not feeling Animals, except for "Sheep." Top Ten: (this changes by like the day) 1. Wish You Were Here 2. Dark Side Of The Moon 3. The Wall 4. Obscured By Clouds 5. Meddle 6. Animals 7. The Division Bell 8. Ummagumma 9. A Saucerful of Secrets 10. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn P.S.: Is anybody else besides me and Darryl feeling the Stairway-High Hopes connection? Fun fact: If The Division Bell was never released, the Stairway lyric "The Piper will lead us to reason" would accurately reflect the Pink Floyd discography of original releases.

Guest JericholicEdgeHead Report post Posted September 3, 2003 (edited) Now I know why everytime I go to a bookstore or grocery store and see that every issue of RollingStone has not been touched or even looked through, because RollingStone has become a complete joke. Eddie Van Halen at #70??....get a clue RollingStone. I haven't bought or looked at a RollingStone for at least 10 years and that list sure won't make me want to look at another issue for another 10. They should just stick to covering Britney Spears and J-Lo, because RollingStone hasn't been about rock music for years.

OUch. That hurts. "Pigs(Three Different Ones)" and "Dogs" are two fine tracks, my friend. Since it seems trendy, I'll follw the crowd and list my favorite albums by The Floyd: 10.The Wall 9.The Division Bell 8.More 7.Ummagumma 6.Obscured by Clouds 5.A saucerful of Secrets 4.Animals 3.The Final Cut 2.The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 1.Meddle I have much love for The Division Bell as well. "High Hopes", "Keep Talking", and "Lost for Words" are wonderful tracks that everyone should listen to. And it is a travesty, even blasphemous that Gilmour is listed on at #82. I think that he has the best tone ever. His sound is perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
