Musicological banter

How do you know I dont know the history of the album?

Or the band?

You make a lot of assumptions.

i dont care if it is mainly a Gilmour solo album.  It is my favorite one under the Pink Floyd name, regardless of who played on it.

Do you not think I might know something about a band I love?

YOu think i dont know about the whole "Waters vs Gilmour" side of Pink Floyd?

What if a person's favorite album by the Smashing Pumpkins was Oceania?

Well evidently not..how can you call AMLOR a Pink FLoyd album? Barely any Mason or Wright (as a hired hand not even a band member)? Do you know know that Gilmour says that Floyd without Wright is not Floyd.... well, for AMLOR there's hardly any Wright at all and he's not even in the band!..

But don't feel bad about it.. just read, learn.....admitting ignorance is the first step...often times its hard for people so they hide behind bluster of the "how do you know i don't know about the history of the album..." or some such...

Gilmour is a fantastic guitarist and I love his singing voice....But I think even he would call AMLOR a forgery....

Don't be so touchy.

And if Gilmour comes to DC I'll try to check it out myself...

It says Pink Floyd on the album cover. 

It is listed in their discography. 

One of their main songwriters (and my favorite member) was able to release the album under the name. 
He continued to stay in the band for the rest of their existence. The band played those songs on tour. 

The Division Bell was my next favorite, and yes, it features Mason and Wright and is more "Pink Floyd" than AMLOR, but what does it matter? It exists and I like it. 

I was able to pick a favorite based on what I liked when I heard the songs, and not any of the drama behind anything, because all of that was old news by the time I became a fan. I became a fan when Pulse was released.

Your definition of what is and isn't a Pink Floyd album is of no consequence to me.  I don't see why I even need to defend my tastes, nor what I know about any bands.

Thanks for calling me ignorant, that is really nice of you.

[Rogue Riderhood]

whatever.

But will Gilmour come to Maryland or Virginia?

[Rogue Riderhood]

My vote is for Rams Head Annapolis.

My vote is for Rams Head Annapolis.

That will never happen.... think 2000-3000 capacity and he may not play DC area at all period... Strathmore and Warner come closest but not sure of Strathmore's capacity...

[Rogue Riderhood]

That was a joke. Man.

[hutch]

whatever.

I can see you're hurting and I'm sorry for that.. you're a nice guy... and a valued member of the 930 Forum community (even if you keep changing your name like you're running from the law or something).....evidently a little young but you'll learn that AMLOR is a turd in the Pink Floyd canon....

[hutch]

That was a joke. Man.

Don't feel ashamed because you proposed something that could never happen and didn't realize how crazy it was..don't run away from it..its ok to make mistakes... not everyone realizes the types of places Gilmour plays.. and if AMLOR is your favorite Floyd album you may not even be aware that they are a stadium band and Gilmour usually plays big theaters (and that's downscaling for him)... its ok man.

What's your problem?

[hutch]

What's your problem?

What do you mean? We're talking about Pink Floyd, right? Or am I detecting a bit of unpleasantness in the air here?
