"we live in a society"

You've done it! It's every Pink Floyd song!
and its goddamn beautiful
"school is bad"
8 minutes of keyboards and drums
Very funny : |
@@Lasagnabobby not my fault you based your entire personality around a band
David Gilmour rapping is one of the most cursed things I have ever had to picture in my head.
LMAOO
Funny because that's how Dogs/You've Gotta Be Crazy started in 1974 with Dave rapping.
@@tskmaster3837
I honestly prefer that version to Dogs tbh. It’s much more evil sounding
Waters kinda raps in "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives"
It might even be worse than Geddy Lee rapping in Rush's "Roll the Bones"
To think Pink Floyd’s name is the “The Megadeaths” in another timeline is insane.
Meggadeaths*
The Darkest Timeline, all the members would have had goatees and worn leather
@@alonsoarana5307 and they would all be evil and travel to the normal timeline to try to cut Roger's arm off with a bonesaw.
@@grug2085 it's the only thing that might force a reunion
That name didn't fit them at all
"As a guitarist and musician, David Gilmour is great. As a lyricist, he is" LMFAO
Our David could write a good tune but lyrics just wasn’t his thing, that’s why he got the missus to do it. Roger got David to do his more tricky bass parts, two great musicians and a great songwriter was what made them great.
I think Animals is a more “garsh, we really do be living in a society tho” album than The Wall
Yeah, The Wall is more Roger Waters having an emotional breakdown.
Animals is “garsh, we really do be living in a society tho” while the wall is *cigarette drag* “we really do be living in a society tho” *sobs*
@@ByeByeDeadName The Wall is a little too chaotic to be described with a mere cigarette drag IMO. I think Wish You Were Here better fits that profile.
So it is kind of funny David Gilmour, had no problems with it, but the final cut, and whatever other ideas Roger, might have had beyond that were to much, though doing two albums about the same topics basically is tireing.
@@zero-pl3tt The Final Cut lol
Kanye didn’t drop but mic the snare did
I called and he was kind enough to push it back

Exactly what I was thinking. Who needs Donda when we get DDD 💜
In Germany, there's a Radio station that each year does a "Hitparade", where listeners can vote for their top 5 songs of all time. They then play the 1001 most voted songs, over one week, 24 hours a day. Since it's a station that mainly ~35 to 60 year olds listen to, it's a lot of classic rock, and the most important thing is that they always play the full length songs, never the radio version. So it's always super nice when some Pink Floyd comes on and you just know that there'll be no talking for the next 15 mins and you can blast Echoes in your car ^^ It's one of my favourite events of the year.
That sounds freakin awesome. But I wonder if anybody ever used it as a trolling opportunity before...
@@mr.worldwide4758 I think you would need to create a lot of accounts to „troll“ since so many people participate that a song needs hundreds of votes to be placed 😄 then again, there is always some songs in there that some people might consider a joke entry, like traditional German folklore music, children’s songs, songs that represent regional dialects or satirical songs. So even if you managed to get a troll in there, people would most likely not even notice ^^
Welcher Radiosender ist das?
@@ThePutzboy SWR1 ^^
@@Anali2197 Ah okay, werde ich mal drauf schauen. Klingt so, als würde es die ein oder andere Autofahrt angenehmer machen! Danke :)
If you dont count the soundtrack albums, Meddle in 1971 to the Wall in 79 is one of if not the greatest 5 album run in all of music
6*
Atom Heart Mother was great for it’s time too, and for the soundtrack that was Obscured By Clouds, it ain’t half bad considering how quickly it was knocked together.
Dark Side of the Moon was on the UK charts for 17 straight years. I think that makes it very clear how influential it was.
That would be a good point except for the fact that Dark Side of the Moon never actually reached number 1 in the UK album charts
The #7 album of all time in the UK. No other Floyd album in the top 60.
Its still on the charts, I'm not sure where on the charts but it is still there
It also holds the record for longest time spent on the Billboard Top 200, and after a rules change to allow for older albums to be on the list, reappeared in 2009 to continue adding to its record-setting stint on the list
It dropped out of top 200 only because CDs don't wear out like LPs and cassettes so people didn't have to buy a replacement
Oh man I can’t wait to hear you talk about the best album of all time Nostalgia critic’s The Wall. A modern classic
Fuck, this got me good
XD
Love/hate how one of the great rock albums of all time will always be associated in my mind with a bald guy pushing 40 who got big off of yelling about d-tier kids movies
@@petercahill6696 this
Such a great love letter to the band
Obscured by clouds:
-childhood’s end
-burning bridges
-mudmen
-the gold it’s in the...
All great tracks
Wots the deal too
i know he ignored them
Underrated
Free four???
Yea literally the whole album is a sleeper
your pronounciation of "shine on you crazy diamond" changed my entire picture of that song
A funny thing about The Wall tour was that the tour was so expensive, the band ended up losing money. But since they had hired Richard Wright as a touring musician after leaving the band, he was the only one to actually make money on it.
I guess that tour was a bit of an expensive disaster in some respects. Because of how huge the show was they could only do it in a few select cities, and nobody really made any money back from it except for, like you said, Richard Wright.
The chad Richard Wright
Another thing I love is how they wrote Young Lust to epitomize an AOR radio single....which is what it then actually became.
That makes me very happy! At least the best Pink Floyd member got the best out of that piece of shit album.
@@heelstevenmaggle5615 WOW
"Dark Side of the Moon ? *_It's not even their most ambitious musical Statement_* "
You guessed it's the melon man
If we’re being honest though, it isn’t. That’s not to say I don’t like it, but Wish You Were Here and Animals are a little more gigantic sounding just by my ears at least.
I mean, they made more ambitious musical statements. That's not an undermining of DSOTM.
That's the most pretentious thing he's ever said, and that's saying a lot, lol.
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Side Of The Moon
You're right, their most ambitious musical statement is Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict.
It’s so crazy that they didn’t professionally record any of their concerts from their peak 1973-1977. I still hope that one day we’ll get a full blu ray show from the 1970’s. I just know Waters has something somewhere lol
Boy do I have good news for you

@@thebeatgoesround9265 ~ Why would you want to be wrong? Willful ignorance really nonplusses me.
Their album run from 1973-1979 is legendary
An Imperial Phase if there ever was one.
...and including 1971
it's that "concept album phase"
*1971
truly unmatched
Fun fact: if any of you don’t know the School of Rock program, it’s basically a place that gives music lessons to kids and puts them in a band to do concerts of covers.
As a rule, whenever a new School of Rock location opens, the first show they do is The Wall. I’ve played it twice, and it’s great
That sounds interesting and cool. Good stuff
Wait, it's a real thing? It's not just a movie?
@@rajavlitra yeah, they’re all over too. don’t know where this commenter is from, but i’m from chicago and there’s a bunch in and around the city. i’ve heard some relatively harsh criticisms as to how the program is run from friends and bandmates who were SOR kids, but as Mic would say, more kids getting into music and getting to play live music is a good thing either way.
@@becklanda.3642 I’m from Philly, I went to SoR Newtown 😁
I got to do a Pink Floyd show with them as my final program. I had a lot of fun with it! It wasn't perfect, but just getting to play the music of your idols is pretty damn awesome
The wall was one of the first LPs I bought. For over a year, I only listened to the first side, because I was too scared to continue. And that was not because of someone telling me that the album is heavy an all that, it was just the music and me. But, one day, I had just got rejected by this girl that I liked (A LOT), and I was feeling really down, so I just put it on. Listened through the whole thing, while reading the lyrics on the inner sleeves. When I finished, I went to bed, completely quiet. The next day I did the same thing. The day after that, I turned off the lights in my room, and turned the volume up. No reading this time. I just closed my eyes, and listened to the whole album. And btw, about me feeling (really) down, well the album did not help… it kind of did the opposite... :/. I could relate to a lot from that album, so it was like someone just singing my feelings.
Now, I’ve listened to it so many times, that I can not count. It’s one of my most favourite albums… ever. It speaks to me, and it defines my hardest period (yet) in my life. Btw, I like to say thank you to my best friend for helping me at that time.
(Sorry for the bad (or okay, I don’t know) English. Hope you understood everything I wrote. Also, thank you for reading!)
Yo man I know this is from almost a year ago but i jus wanted to say that the same thing recently happened to me and reading this helped me feel a bit better, also for me the album I listened to afterwards was the downward spiral by nine inch nails, highly recommend if you have the time to check it out
@@nn8009 hang in there! Always look on the bright side of life, and Don’t worry, be happy! Good luck :). I will check it out very soon! Thank you for the music tip, I love it! Nine inch nails are so cool!
I love how non native English speakers always put “sorry for my bad English” as if their comment isn’t far better written and more eloquent than any comments written by a native English speaker 😭
I love The Wall so much and I’m glad you like it? I think idk lmao
Meddle is the most underrated album of all-time, and probably my 3rd favorite Pink Floyd record, only following Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon...which are probably my two favorite albums, of all-time. I wish it got half the hype that The Wall gets.
Atom Heart Mother is the most underrated in my opion
"Echoes" is a masterpiece!
I was really excited to see what you thought about the masterpiece that is Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict.
yoo i didnt know sydney had a youtube acc
@@antikamniacalendar5765 heck yeah I do
@@thedogfromraditude5449 eyo can you stop partying

Screw Donda this is what I’ve been waiting on
Really tho, it’s like recent/modern fans aren’t familar with Kanye’s flaky history w/ planning/releasing albums. If he really kept his word on all the album ideas he had, we’d have like 2 or 3 times the number of albums currently in his discography.
Post-Waters, "on the turning away" is the undeniable high-point to me. How does it not even get a mention? Also obscured by clouds deserves more love.
On The Turning Away is fine, as a pop song...but compared to some of their best work it's just...fine.
I just love Be Careful With That Axe Eugene, the atmospheric first half which gets shattered by Waters' scream, and bursts into a much heavier and hard hitting second half. Just an amazing song!
I absolutely love Careful With That Axe Eugene! It starts out hauntingly beautiful and then erupts with Roger’s epic primal screams.
It's definitely a Pink Floyd song....
Cocteau twins have a decently sized discography, a good dive for sure!
yess absolutely
YESSSSS

My favorite albums are the ones just outside their "golden era."
1) Atom Heart Mother. They finally started taking their music seriously, but they still retained a sense of humor and essence of fun. "Summer '68" is one of my favorite Pink Floyd tracks.
2) Meddle. The precursor of their "golden era," but musically, the album is such a odd and twisted groovy mood!
3) A Momentary Lapse of Reason. I don't really have a reason other than I just think it's really beautiful.
these vids are so rewatchable and fun cause of your editing style, appreciate the effort you put into these!
I'd love to see a Led Zeppelin Deep Discog Dive next
Hell yeah.
Or a Budgie DDD
Or Foo Fighters
I know it's Rock n Roll sacrilege but I find Led Zeppelin pretty...meh. I consider them the most overrated band of all time and Robert Plant's voice is grating.
@@TheRagingPlatypus I've reassessed my opinion on the band in recent days. They stole a lot of their songs from old Blues artists without giving proper credit, participated in some questionable behaviour at the height of their fame (see JImmy Page and Lori Mattix) , and their last few albums (Physical Graffiti-In Through The Out Door were hit and miss in terms of quality
Wish You Were Here is an undying, heartbreaking masterpiece.
The Gilmore solo on comfortably numb is a major highlight of my adolescence. Like seeing Star Wars for the first time.
“Coming back to life” on the Division Bell is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard
Mad respect for avoiding the obvious Doug Walker joke during The Wall, and instead hitting us with the double Tommy Wiseau & Zelda CD-I comparisons that nearly made me CHOKE from the giggles they produced
It's not an obvious joke at all. Compared to Pink Floyd, that cringe-worthy manchild loser has-been has 0.0005% the relevancy that Pink Floyd does. It would be like bringing up Chris-chan while discussing the legacy of Led Zepplin.

Shine on You Crazy Diamond gives me shivers every time ... that opening chiming four note motif!
This is an awesome video! You’re done a fantastic job at editing and speaking over it and going in depths! It was very enjoyable❤️
i know this is part of the whole sentiment of DDD, but i want to point out how much i appreciate this format for existing with the intention of the audience not knowing anything about the band in question. especially with a band as ubiquitous as pink floyd for example, it's embarrassing to be someone interested in music but to have peers find out that you yes indeed in fact have never intentionally listened to a single song from them. so dope to have fun engaging ways to get interested in music but without the snobbery (especially the snobbery i see from rock bros)
YES THIS THANK YOU. Mic is one of the few music channels I can get really invested in because I never feel like I'm being condescended to because of my very spotty musical experience.
agreed! as a new fan of Pink Floyd, i appreciate how i wasn't expected to know anything about the band prior to watching the video
Just want to say that
"More" and "Obscured by Clouds" are underrated
this is my first DDD and I'm kinda disappointed its not an actual discogs deep dive at all but telling me things I already know
I agree that the middle section of The Wall kinda drags, but "Young Lust", "One of My Turns" and "Nobody Home" are bangers imo.
I personally don’t think it drags,
I think the end is the most boring
@@sakke877 the trial is heavy as heck
Young Lust is easily one of the great bangers since Money (especially the single version IMO with an intro added in, it sounds like you're entering a club with the intro) and Have a Cigar.
Nobody Home is really really soothing song, but I kinda think it should end there because Vera is basically just an extension to an already long quiet of section of Disc 2 Side A.
The album doesn’t drag at all.
Great as always!! I am really looking forward to your Spoon DDD!
these videos really get me interested in listening to artists I'm thinking about trying. This video was the whole reason I got into Pink Floyd.
Funny how you said The Wall shouldn't be the first album a person should listen to, because it was actually my first Pink Floyd album I ever owned. Still one of my favourites. The film is also damn amazing.
Mine too.
it was the first album i ever heard period and it's still my favourite to this day
certainly "Another Brick pt2" was my introduction (late 80's mtv)
but the first album of theirs I sat down and listened to was "Wish You Were Here" (late 90's joint and dad's records)
same, my first album and still their best in my opinion
Same however I prefered dark side
“Mother do you think they’ll drop the dive?”
"Mother do you think they'll like this video?"
“Mother do you think they’ll try to break my UA-cam connection?”
While Piper At the Gates of Dawn comes really close because of its visceral edginess, childhood and rustic whimsy and zaniness mixed with intense far out psychedelic rock, overall I think that Dark Side of the Moon is the most impressive because of its remarkable consistency as an integrated whole combining space rock with the constraints of time, death, insanity, money and war with a multitude of voices expressing the ways in which they try to cope with it. It also operates with a diverse range of musical styles from gospel in Great Gig in the Sky and Eclipse, to jazz and blues while featuring melodic and dynamic rock guitar solos on Time and Money. The inclusion of sound effects also evokes the events of daily life from the mad cap laughs hearkening back to the name of Syd Barrett's solo album, to the ticking of the clocks setting off alarms, to the heart beats while running foreshadowing the line and you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking in Time. Not to mention the allusion to Syd Barrett again at the very end, "The sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the moon after singing and when the band your in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon. This is a reference to Syd Barrett untuning his guitar on stage and strumming the same chord over and over again while Pink Floyd tries to play a different song. In my opinion, there is a tendency especially on videos and comments to be contrarian by choosing another Pink Floyd album as their best. I have even seen the comments sections of videos in which Dark Side of the Moon isn't even mentioned as the best one time. Certainly, I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this defies the opinions expressed in mass polls on line in which Dark Side of the Moon is routinely picked as the best. The divergence in opinion is really intriguing perhaps it speaks to a deep human need to unseat what is perceived as the impeccable best and the ones most outspoken are more likely to express this in comments. I know this is a feeling I often have myself, but in this case the comparative excellence of Dark Side of the Moon has overcome it.

I must’ve gone through the history of Pink Floyd a hundred times now. However, I never get tired of listening to their story. My top three albums have to be Piper (being a huge Syd Barrett fan), AHM, and WYWH. Very well done video! Subscribed!!
For clarification, the track at 4:56 is actually called "Jugband Blues" rather than "Jughead Blues"
And I think Domine in "Astronomy Domine" is pronounced "Dah-min-ay" according to the band members talking about the song, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah I nearly stopped watching as soon as I heard "Dough-Mine", do you even Latin bro?
And I believe he referred to Astronomy Domine as an instrumental, when it has lyrics. Also, he mentioned Let There Be More Light as a 3 part track, which it isn’t. And I get this is just a quick run through of the history of the band, but there was not even a mention of Bob Klose, or how Syd actually came up with the name Pink Floyd.
@@piperathegates2112 I took calling Let There Be More Light a three part song as referencing the fact that there are three pretty distinctly different sections in the song: the intro bass riff, the main part with vocals, and the extended jam at the end. It’s not officially split as such, but it’s absolutely reminiscent of later songs where they’d label the individual sections.
@@ihatethefuture 🤓
Yes....it's dominee
Pink the Floyd?

Umma the Gumma?
All of my YES.
I‘ve been waiting for this for so long
19:00
I’m so glad you mentioned the See Emily Play Reference at the end of Shine on You Crazy Diamond. It’s literally the perfect ending to the album and brings tears to my eyes every time
Dark Side of the Moon had so much staying power that it stayed on Billboard's Top 200 chart of weekly album sales for a combined total of over 18 _years._
holy shit i was literally just thinking about marathoning the entire pink floyd discography, nice!
No way same haha
You don’t do that daily? Are you even a Pink Floyd fan? 😤
I'll listen to their albums over and over till the end of time. Are you from Russia, because your name telling me that you are?
Don’t tell him, but obscured by clouds is my personal favorite just because of the song mudmen. Such a great and underrated song
The first video of yours I’ve ever watched after having never heard of your channel until the algorithm auto played this video and it’s about my favorite band in the world while I’m wearing a tie-dye DSoTM shirt. Yeah, you get a sub. Not to mention the video is good and you seem like a pretty cool guy that doesn’t afraid of anything
When I was doing audio production class in high school, one piece of advice the teacher gave us was to use Dark Side of the Moon to test speakers and PA systems because of it's dynamic range. The whole class jamming to Time is one of my fondest memories of 2012.
And yet again, I'm going to recommend a Crowded House DDD. Seriously, they're criminally underappreciated in the US, despite being household names in the Commonwealth.
My personal favorite is Wish You Were Here. It’s so spacy and grand.
Plus, I really like the Division Bell.
aye!
mine too!
Great vid as always, I'd love to see a ween episode
The second solo of Comfortably Numb in the Pulse concert is probably one of my favorite music moments ever. Such a gorgeous solo, and another great video from you !
I saw the original Wall tour in 1980. Gilmore performed the second Comfortably Numb solo from on top of the wall being fabricated during the show. He stretched that solo out and really wailed, it was full of a power and emotion that I did not really expect. That solo was the singularly most amazing human made thing I have ever seen.
i'm honest: after years of denying, i finally accepted the truth that 'dark side of the moon' is their best album. wywh and animals are fantastic albums, but jesus. the opener which introduces the sounds of the following album? probably my favourite pink floyd song time? the gorgous screaming on great gig in the sky? hell, i even love on the run. and then the fantastic flow of the last four tracks, including the perfect closer eclipse? i don't care. dsotm is pure perfection in a way only few albums are.
Ehhh, I think On The Run drags. And I think there's a little more musical variety on WYWH and Animals. DSOTM sounds a little bit constant and homogenous in comparison. Then again, you could chalk that up to how meditative the album. I think their next two albums were a little more visceral and ambitious, but DSOTM is still a fantastic album.
I agree. Or half agree. I like WYWH more but TDSOTM is an easy second place
@@jamescarlisle4023 ambitious and visual doesn’t create a good album enjoy the simple things
@@CursxR0 ambition alone doesn't make something great. but it just so happens that Wish You Were Here and Animals are more enjoyable in my opinion, in large part because there's more risks on those albums that pay off
Perfectly stated! I used to be conflicted too but then Dark Side would come on and all debate stopped 🌈
Thank you for shouting out Bike, a song that never gets skipped when it pops up on my favorites
Prince vid was awesome, thanks!!! Cant wait to see this one. :)
Can you do Joni Mitchell for the Deep Discog Dive?
That'd be amazing
can you PLEASE
ditto x1000000000, it would be so great
While I agree that DSOTM is only good, the sequence of Us And Them all the way through Eclipse might be one of the best on any of their albums. It’s a perfect showcase of every band member’s strengths on top of Roger’s immaculate songwriting capabilities. It’s a stellar finish that singlehandedly raises the album to amazing.
Pretty sure that Richard Wright and Dave Gilmour did the music writing, Roger was lyrics :)
As a fan, this was a great video. Good job!
This is a great video love the work
Am I crazy for asking for Talking Heads? AM I!? Probably.
But this was wonderfully informative as always and I'm genuinely curious.
i think The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is top 3 in their discography and is one of their most influential and futuristic albums, soo underrated
In no order piper at the gates of dawn, animals, and dark side of the moon.
The wall is so overplayed, which sucks because some tracks do slap. However when I worked in a lab that had the music locked on satellite classic rock I heard then every day.
it gets severely overlooked but as a psychedelic rock album, it is seriously one of the best. i'm a huge nerd for the 60s psych era and i was blown away first hearing it after only knowing about their later stuff. a legendary record in its own right, and i'd even say better than sgt pepper as far as 60s psych goes.
Some inaccuracies. Syd invented "space rock" with "Astronomy Domine" and "Interstellar Overdrive", so I don't understand why you're giving credit to "A Saucerful of Secrets" for being the first album to explore space rock. Also, the longer song-form was already being explored during the Syd era, as evidenced by not only the extended instrumental tracks, but by the live shows, where even the songs with lyrics would stretch out for many minutes. Norman Smith, the band's producer, their management, and the band's hunger for fame, actually pushed for a more pop direction to compete with The Beatles, which wasn't exactly the vision Syd originally had for the band's first album.
Originally, "Piper" was going to only have 4-5 songs, much like later Floyd albums, and would essentially be a live document (with some minor studio tinkering) of the band's UFO Club set at the time. The direction "Piper" did end up going actually played a factor in Syd's breakdown, because the underground crowd at the time began accusing the Floyd of being sell-outs. And Syd, while a genius at pop songwriting, was essentially being milked and forced to take a direction he ultimately began to despise.
In a strange twist of fate, pretty much everything the Floyd started doing without Syd was exactly the kind of direction Syd had been pushing for in the band in the first place. To me, it's not fair nor even accurate to relegate Syd as this fairy tale pop songwriter who wrote short and simple concise songs. He was actually the band's most diverse songwriter, and was writing dark songs way before Waters made it his identity. And even during his solo career, Syd was still obsessed with extended tracks for a while, since he was working on "Rhamadan". I think Floyd would have been a mix of glam, progressive, psychedelic, hard rock, and jazz fusion had he remained in Floyd.
oh,hey.you're the guy on all of those other syd era videos.how's it going?
We glossed straight the fuck over one of the greatest visionaries and most influential… oh never mind, I just heard his hat tip to Syd. 🤣 You saved yourself and as a reviewer from a serious fanboy ass chewin! 🤣
I fucking love Syd and especially his time in the Pink Floyd. I really wish there were better recordings of their live sound in '67 as it was supposedly fucking insane and very trippy. As it stands I believe there exist 3 bootlegs of their shows and on all of them the vocals are barely audible, such a shame. Love their first album, I'm a big nerd for the 60s psych era and that's seriously one of the best and trippiest records to come out of it.
And the idea that Syd wanted the first record to basically be a live album with studio edits - sounds a lot like the concept for Grateful Dead's Anthem of the Sun, another brilliant psych record from the same era. We all seriously missed out by not getting something like that.
This guy doesn’t know Floyd he’s a Beatles fan
@@CursxR0 also a Taylor swift fan
Funny enough that stretch of tracks on The Wall from Empty Spaces to Bring the Boys Back Home is my favorite part of the album; idk why but the three track run that starts Side 2 from Hey You to Nobody Home I’ve always found perfect. Great video as always Michael
I'm gonna, once again, say: DO A WEEN DIVE
seconding this
I've been voting for it on the poll every time. One of, if not my absolute favorite bands.
@@solsussman742, they're my #1
@@mysterymcfly3107 I keep switching between Ween, The Beatles, and Rush for my #1 spot.
Was literally about to say this.
Appreciated this one quite a lot.
The Smiths or The Cure next, please!
Definitley, that would be great.
Mic, you legend. I was JUST thinking of when Pink Floyd was gonna get a Deep Discog Dive.
Pink Floyd really are something special and there really is no one else like them. January last year, I got into Pink Floyd and I still love their music and the history behind the band. Thank you for this video, it was extremely entertaining and informative too.
Ok so we had a decorator when I was 14 who recommended to my sister and I, Dark Side of the Moon. "It'll change your life." He promised. So we bought it from the shop and let it sit for a while before we both listened to it separately. I remember listening to it through for the first time, quite overwhelmed when Great Gig in the Sky kicked in. It felt like the scream of so many feelings I just couldn't put to words. Maybe it was the family trauma we'd experienced so recently at that point but it felt like a religious experience, a wail into the sky of something words just couldn't define.
Anyways. I know not everyone has to experience things the same way but I genuinely can't listen to that song without being reminded of those teenage feelings. It's a beautiful thing but also a lot. Not something I can recommend essentially but will cherish.
Doe-mine????? It's dom-ih-nee! dom-ih-nee! It rhymes with Astronomy for cryin out loud!
And it’s not an instrumental…
C’mon, Mic!
Your interlude music is so damn good for some reason
Thank you for the shoutout to The Final Cut album at the end, truly underrated album
It’s shite 💩
I have a couple of suggestions to do. The Beatles, Drake, Fleetwood Mac, Paramore, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Run the Jewels
Rolling Stones is quite a bunch, i'd like to see that
A Rolling Stones DDD would be three hours long
@@Betta66 I mean he also did david bowie so he definitely could manage it.
@@lasseheller9863 I know he could. Just saying there'd be a lot to cover.
And a Bob Dylan one
Obscured by Clouds is actually a very good album on it's own, and am interesting listen when considering they were working on Dark Side alongside the album. Childhoods End is the only essential listen on the album, but it sounds like an early prototype of Time.
Wots… Uh The Deal too
those first notes in shine on you crazy diamond always make me wanna cry
I’d love to see a deep discog dive on Jimi Hendrix - you always deliver with these videos Mr. The Snare
We’re gonna get that Car Seat Headrest DDD some day, we just gotta keep tryin 💪🏻
I'd love that more than anything
I’m with you, CSH gang represent
YES
Yo lets goooooo
god i love echoes but every time i listen to it i get a moment in that riff when I'm like "wait why am i listening to the phantom of the opera"
THAT’S why that riff sounded so familiar! I kept hearing it and couldn’t figure out where I’d heard it before!
Echoes, written 1970, Phantom, written 1984, Andrew Lloyd Webber has some explaining to do.
Yeah ikr Andrew Floyd Webber has plagiarized a lot so it makes sense
@@TheMasterOfTheWord Lloyd Weber plagiarized Echoes; not the other way around.
Fantastic video! That was a very forgiving take on Ummagumma though lol. I'm also one of those weirdos that has Division Bells in their too 3 haha
My favourite song from Pink Floyd is "Poles Apart". Idk, it just makes me feel so nostalgic and melancholic. I guess it's because it reminds me to a friend of mine, we choosed different paths, we left each other, and now we are poles apart
Love that song!
Ohhh yeah, that's a great one. The entire album it comes from has that tone I'd say
I literally screamed when I saw the notification since Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands ever. Very epic video, can't wait for the next DDD.
I’m hoping he does Kiss
Lost the chance to vote JAY Z for a DDD for the 8th time
As well as the video giving a closing statement to the band as a whole it’s factual and enjoyable
Thanks man
those roger waters the wall concerts/shows/operas/however you want to call them are *amazing* ...i've let a tear loose several times throughout the thing, not ashamed to admit it
man i love this series so much.
Pink floyd is my dad's favourite, and also a big part of the culture of my grandma's city i shit you not. they have a carnaval event in their honour. i know a lot about them and i do also love the band, but never took the time to listen to every single album, even with my background it felt a lil overwhelming to fully go album by album. this video is very helpful to that endeavour, a great intro to the different phases and to what to expect of each album.
"Wright left Pink Floyd" lol, great sentence
I am astounded by your take on the division bell. Aside from the first track I love that album
Imagine if all these years we were listening to The Tea Set instead of Pink Floyd
Could have been meggadeath. Fuck Metallica.
I've recently dived in Sparks discography, an american pop band and who will soon have released a documentary about them directed by the renowed Edgar Wright, and I think you'll enjoy their diversity in terms of pop music.
Also great vid
Hehe they own the BBC
Kimono my house. A masterpiece
@@joaquinlezcano2372 Of course, but not the only one
This was incredible! One of my favs, I would also love to see an episode on Genesis, a very interesting band with great music and great albums
Yes, I'd love a Genesis DDD
Echoes make my cry of pure joy
Very well done. Been a Pink Floyd fan since jr high (early 1980s).
Pleeeeeeeeease do King Gizzard after their next album cycle or three.
The longer he delays the longer the video is going to need to be. Good chance they have at least one more album in them this year. So he may as well just do it soon to keep the work/runtime down.
I feel like, that shit might be impossible while they're still around. They do to much(to accurately track, I mean, I love their massive body of work)
Really loved this one! I got into Pink Floyd in 2014, during my Senior Year of high school, and immediately fell in love with their music. "Animals" is undoubtedly my favorite and I think "Meddle" is my favorite of their lesser known stuff.
Thanks for making this video! I just discovered your channel and have listened to a few of your videos while working in my art studio. I'm curious to what your favorite are your favorite Pink Floyd Albums. I agree with you about Dark Side of the Moon, its a great album but there is so much great albums by Floyd. My personal favorite is Animals and then Meddle, mainly because of Echoes. I enjoy the newer stuff but it is more Gilmour than Pink Floyd. Gilmour is still one of the greatest guitarist, the solo in Have a Cigar is epic!
Fantastic DDD as always! For the next viewer-chosen one, could you add Stevie Wonder to the voting list? I know it’s a long shot but I would absolutely love to see his classic period get the Mic the Snare treatment
I was wondering when the next DDD would come literally this morning before seeing this! Funny that.
