Bad Pink Floyd Songs

Recommended Posts

If you're going to say "all of them" just leave.

 

 

Are there any songs by Floyd that you just cannot stand? Usually I feel they're pretty consistent with having good songs, but there are some that I just can't listen to.

 

 

The Nile Song (More) - the harshness of it sounds too forced at that point in the band. A lot of people seem to like it but it does nothing for me.

 

Absolutely Curtains (Obscured by Clouds) - the ending of that song is just the most annoying shit I've ever heard on any Pink Floyd album.

 

Mother (The Wall) - I'm sorry. This is a classic, yes, but for some reason I cannot tolerate this nor understand why it would be the classic it is. I wish it was dropped to make room for When The Tigers Broke Free and What Shall We Do Now.

 

Any other personal choices?

San Tropez is a real piece of crap.

 

I also don't really care for "The Grand Vizier's Garden Party" off of Ummagumma, and I really don't like anything off of The Final Cut.

Ughhh..TFC is just full of thoughtful acoustic progressive ballad after thoughtful acoustic progressive ballad. It grates my nerves horribly, and is completely stuck in neutral. Can't stand that album.

The Fletcher Memorial Home has grown on me. And not like a tumor or a cyst, I mean in a good way.

 

I love the music off The Division Bell, sorry bps.

 

Add San Tropez and Seamus to the shitty song list. Echoes really bailed that album out...yikes.

 

Have A Cigar is an awesome song, as is Welcome To The Machine. The whole WWYH album is perfection. Maybe you just don't like Roy Harper.

I like pretty much all of them. Especially Shine on You Crazy Diamond.

 

I will admit, however, that I try to sleep to Pink Floyd, and everytime Time starts, it wakes me up. That's pretty annoying.

Bring the Boys Back Home. I can listen to the entire Wall album all the way through, but I always want to skip over that song. It's just...not Pink Floyd...

You don't like Seamus? Pig. That's a neat mellow little bluesy number that fits in perfectly with an album where every song sounds completely different but still flows together. San Tropez shits me bad though, because it sounds like a bad radio song, which while being intentional, still detracts from the experience as a whole. I absolutely love that album other than that track, and consider it one of, if not Floyd's best.

Welcome To The Machine used to freak me out when I was a kid. But now, I'd have to say I'm tired of Bring The Boys Back Home.

Give it a few months of not hearing it, it's brand new again.
