(Part 2) Best products from r/pinkfloyd

There are excellent tabs books for DSOTM, Wall and WYWH. Also excellent tab books for division bell and on an island.

There really isn't much out there for animals but there are some fairly decent dogs solo transcriptions.

If you are looking for easier stuff check out this book:

Pink Floyd: Easy Guitar with Riffs and Solos https://www.amazon.com/dp/1476815305/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_tqL3wbVFHHFQ0

This one might be good too (somewhat strange mix of songs...):

Ultimate Guitar Play-Along Pink Floyd Book/online audio https://www.amazon.com/dp/0739050443/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_msL3wbYY60PH3

This book looks really cool. Sounds like it comes with slowed down audio and play along parts too which can be really helpful

Pink Floyd - Guitar Signature Licks: A Step-by-Step Breakdown of David Gilmour's Guitar Styles and Techniques https://www.amazon.com/dp/1476821240/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_XvL3wbTZ41WX6

A lot of people are going to try to be alternative and suggest you start with a more obscure album. My advice would be not to listen to them - doing so can be an alienating experience and put you off a band.

With that in mind, start with The Dark Side of the Moon. It's their most famous album (and my favourite album!), so you're in safe hands with this one.

Once you've familiarised yourself with DSotM, move on to The Wall. This one is mostly the brainchild of Pink Floyd's bassist and main songwriter (until he left in 1985) Roger Waters. It is a semi-autobiographical rock opera with a great story and some great songs to boot. It can be quite a daunting listen at first, so tackle it in chunks and use this guide to help you through the story.

After The Wall, the final definitive step you can take is to listen to Wish You Were Here. You'll find a lot of people that revere this album as their best, and one can see why - it has great songwriting, powerful lyrics and interesting (but very 70's!) production.

Once you've listened to all three of these albums, your next step is entirely up to you. Want to hear Pink Floyd's first and only "psychedelic" album with founding father and acid casualty Syd Barrett? Listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Do you want to hear Pink Floyd at their softest and most pastoral? Spin Atom Heart Mother, with a 24-minute long title track featuring a full brass ensemble.

Pink Floyd's most varied album, you ask? Dark Side wins that distinction IMO, but Meddle comes a close second. Pay particular attraction to the track Echoes - it's stunning.

Or, alternatively, you can work your way through the discography from beginning to end. Doing so will help you see the band's progression in style over time. Whatever choice you make, you're delving into an incredible band, so enjoy!

It looks like you are referring to this book. All the reviews mention the absence of OBS. Was there anything specific you wanted to know about the album? Pretty good chance someone on this sub can answer or point you to a better book.

Edit: There is no good reason to leave any of their albums out of a book with Every Album in the title. Especially not one of my personal favorites.

Just got done reading this book which appears to be pretty comprehensive through 2008, when it was published.

If you like that era of the studio albums, you will really like the BBC shows. The quality is pretty good.

Two single albums come to mind:
Relics and Early Singles from the Shine On box.

Relics
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000SXMR9G/ref=dm_aw_dp_sp_bb_sfa

Early Singles
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000TUJ4GM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418316986&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

Haha. The price on early singles. Inbox me, I'll help you find it.

I searched extensively, and was only able to find the Italian version of the script online for free... If you want it you can get it here, but I don't think it'll do you much good.

Apparently the CD version comes with a booklet that has the script.
You can get it on amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Darkside-Radio-Stoppard-Incorporating-Floyd/dp/B00FR0GS7C

Good luck with your thesis!

While Roger Waters' "Amused To Death" is my favorite solo output from any of the band members, much of Syd's solo material is quite good, and some of the tracks are amazing. I strongly recommend the Crazy Diamond boxed set, which includes all 3 of his albums and many studio outtakes.

I always recommend these, I've been using them for years. They're cheap, have great sound, and use some kind of memory foam so they're always comfortable in your ears. I've listened to lots of Floyd on these, and it always sounds great. Just be careful, because they release a new version yearly and according to the reviews for the latest model they've gotten a lot worse (the link is for an older generation model).

I love that you can see the half-painted floor behind him. Mick Rock arrived to take photos for The Madcap Laughs, to be greeted at the door by a naked Inuit woman and to find the floor painted in alternating stripes, but only around half way.

If you haven't read Lost in the Woods it is definitely a good read.

In addition to what's been listed.

Their Mortal Remains - more of a coffee table book, but great pictures and history of the band.

Pink Floyd: Their Mortal Remains https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1851779167/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_t3ETCbPPDV6QQ

And a good one to pick up when listening to an album - All the Songs.

Pink Floyd All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track https://smile.amazon.com/dp/031643924X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_J4ETCbPPAJR0M

Symphonic Pink Floyd is amazing:

Us & Them: Symphonic Pink Floyd

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Plays the Hits of Pink Floyd

This is awesome also: Piano Tribute to Pink Floyd

This is not a remastered album (which would seem odd since this just came out and I can tell you, it's amazing!), it's a documentary.

Looks pretty sweet though, I'm keen to watch!

Yes it is called The Making of Pink Floyd: The Wall, its on amazon too for a fairly cheap price https://www.amazon.co.uk/Making-Pink-Floyd-Gerald-Scarfe/dp/030681997X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469179968&sr=1-1&keywords=the+making+of+pink+floyd+the+wall&linkCode=sl1&tag=illustrchroni-21&linkId=202f2004e62f4a5f71c39f02853da8db

"You've Got To Be Crazy" was the working title for "Dogs." Until recently, there weren't any official releases of the early versions; there was the occasional RoIO from '74-'75, but those were all audience recordings. Nothing like the version on the the Immersion Box set, recorded in Wembley, '74: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyjxDp_o-Ys

edit: it's on the Wish You Were Here immersion box set
