Thread: What are you listening to? Part 9

When this album first came out I showed to to my dad and he didn't stop playing it for 5 years. I hated everything about it. But that was a long time ago.

Damn, once you listen to one song, you've got to listen to the next and then the next, in sequence. Just like every other Pink Floyd album.

And the best of the 4 above:



TAKE IT BACK!!!!

I hear ya. My first exposure to Division Bell was about 4:00 in the morning headed to the fishing hole drinking coffee with Bailey's Irish Creme. I was listening to them sing, "What Do You Want From Me?" And I was thinking, "I want you to plug in The Wall" cassette. But the album soon grew on me to the point that I put the cassette (I'm dating myself) in the cassette player of my Ford Taurus and there it remained until I got rid of the car. It took a few tries but Division Bell is now at the top of my list of Floyd albums.

I also love this version of Comfortably Numb. <see below> I asked my band to consider doing this rendition of the song but they said why mess with perfection? (We currently do the original version Comfortably Numb now.) Love the harmonies. Like the way they re-did this song. Wish I could convince my band to do it this way.

Del Shannon Runaway

Sam Cooke - I'll Come Running Back To You

These guys are one of the few artists who make legitimately good pop. Reminiscent of Queen, really.
