Pink Floyd- Meddle
Imo Floyd at their best after the departure of Syd, they really came into their own on this album. This is often overlooked as is everything before DSOTM, but this is just better than Dark Side.
Fav Tracks:
Echoes- Pink Floyd's best song it's just so epic.
A Pillow of Winds- Just loves David's soft voice, reminds me off Julia Dream another often overlooked song
One of These Days- Love the 2 basses and the bit were Nick says 'One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces' sounds like a giant ogre or some type of monster you might encounter while exploring a cave, always scares me.
Pink Floyd- Dark Side Of The Moon
The album that made them huge and is often considered on of the best albums of all time. I don't feel that way but It's a really great album, that documents human feelings, greed, conflict, fear of death, an overview of life. Well that's what I got when I heard it for the first time.
Fav Tracks:
Speak To Me/Breathe- Probably the most relaxing track you'll ever hear. LOVE the slide guitar and the lyrics are just beautiful own their own.
Time- Truly an amazing song in every sense of the word. The lyrics are some of the best I've ever heard. 'Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day. You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way. Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town. Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.' Everyone has felt that way in their life and If you say you haven’t you’re lying.
Any Colour You Like- One of my Fav instrumentals by the Floyd
Brain Damage- An Ode to Syd Barrett
Eclipse- This song shows us that at the end of it all we're all in this together, we all do the same things in life love, hate, ect and that we're pretty small when it comes to the scale of universe.
Radiohead- Kid A
Much more experimental than it's predecessor Ok Computer it's also my fav of the 2. Not only is the sound great but the lyrics are also show in a form of abstract art, 'Yesterday I woke up sucking on a lemon'. This albums also reminds me alot of Pink Floyd.
Fav Tracks:
Everything In Its Right Place- Just brilliant Thoms voice breaking on and off is just awesome.
The National Anthem- I really love the bass, and the saxophones wailing at the end.
Optimistic- I love the pretty simple guitar work. The first time I heard this I thought the song was about being pessimistic. I thought the chorus went 'the best you can isn't good enough' when in fact it's 'the best you can is good enough'
Radiohead- Airbag/How Am I Driving? [EP]
I remember Luke saying this is just as good as one of their albums well I agree this is the best EP I have heard.
