Artist of the Week: Pink Floyd!

Vinny · 01-14-2004, 04:02 PM

Roger Waters is probably my favourite lyricist, and David Gilmour is a great guitarist. A historical band that revolutionized music.

Thumbs up on choice this week, but the Music you didn't pick the best song, (Hint: Another brick in the wall part 2).
Also I remeber on one of there albums they have a shadow of Ely Cathedral, which I see every day on the way to work.

Ah, Pink Floyd. My personal favorite. Good call!

I've always thought that song was overrated. I mean, it's a good song, but I think Pink Floyd's true genius was in Dark Side of the Moon. "Time" is my favorite Pink Floyd song, mainly for its amazing lyrics. And I also love the solo.

Pink Floyd is good, but I haven't listened to a lot of their stuff.

Next week the artist should be mc chris.

01-18-2004, 01:41 AM

Hell yes!!! MC Chris is my fav rapper. ^_^ out of the billions of rappers, i only like MC Chris.

Neko^^

Eh, MC Chris is alright. I hate the fact that he's charging $10 for "Life's a *****, and I'm Her Pimp"(a 15-minute album once available for download for free). He really hasn't done much.

I think that one thing with Dark Side of the Moon & the Wizard of Oz is so interesting... do you think they did it on purpose?

Talib Kweli would be a good artist of the week. Yup.

^Foo Fighters covered that.

My favorite 'Another Brick...' song is part three. It's got a great sort of edge to it (I love the way that chord that gets played after the first two lines), and the lyrics are very good. It doesn't have the great instrumental solo of part two, though.

My favorite Pink Floyd song is 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond.' 'Time,' 'Comfortably Numb,' 'Another Brick... pt. Three,' and 'One of My Turns' are very good as well.

I think Rage Against the Machine should be the next artist of the week.

Vinny · 01-21-2004, 11:38 AM

I'm forcing Kaeru to get off his lazy ass and change the next artist

. So it's up to him. I think he's gonna do Dave Matthews Band or something. Besides, I've been pretty busy lately, what with the wrestling team. I'll have a lot more time next month.

MC who?

MC Chris is a rapper, who got most of his "popularity" from the show Sealab 2021. In the first season, the URL mcchris.com(where you could download his music, now he charges) was featured in the credits, he did the voice of Hesh and his song "Fett's Vette" was featured at the end of one episode. I think he was a writer, too.

He's alright, he just hasn't really done much.
