Pink Floyd is without a doubt one of the greatest classic rock bands of all time. They began in the 60s with Roger Waters on bass, Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on organ and Syd Barett on lead guitar and vocals. Syd was the band's leader and chief songwriter in the early days, penning their first singles Arnold Layne and See Emily Play. This would lead to the release of their 1967 album Piper at the Gates of Dawn, featuring classics like Astronomy Domine, Flaming, Bike and the epic psychedelic instrumental Interstellar Overdrive. Their live shows were equally inventive incorporating unique light shows. However due to Syd's intake of LSD mixed with a breakdown involving schizophrenia, he would gradually be pushed out of the band he fronted, being replaced with David Gilmour on guitar. This would become Pink Floyd's classic lineup with Roger taking more of a songwriter role, including the song Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun which would appear on their 1968 album A Saucerful of Secrets. The album was the only to feature all five band members and Syd's final composition with Floyd, Jugband Blues. Through albums like the soundtrack to More and the experimental Ummagumma, Pink Floyd was still finding their voice, focusing more on albums rather than singles, but still producing an occasional classic like Careful with that Axe Eugene. In 1970, Atom Heart Mother proved to be a success with the 23 minute instrumental and featuring Dave's song Fat Old Sun. 1971's Meddle would turn out to be an important staple for the band with the rocking opener One of these Days I'm Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces, featuring a rare spoken vocal by Nick, Roger's echoing bass line and Dave's Slide Guitar. The flip side, another 23 minute piece, Echoes, featuring Dave and Rick on vocals, is often regarded as Progressive Rock's finest moment, from the opening ping of Rick's leslie piano. They would also perform both these songs along with earlier classics Live at Pompeii. The Obscured by Clouds soundtrack appeared in 1972 with tracks like Burning Bridges and Free Four. However 1973's Dark Side of the Moon would become one of the most successful albums of all time, staying on the charts for nearly 13 years and still a best seller today. Roger's lyrics dealt with the evils of society driving one to madness, while the music was nearly one entire inter-connected piece (making it difficult to separate for a playlist or a best of / greatest hits compilation). Still standouts like Money, Time and Great Gig in the Sky are favorites among fans. Their 1975 followup Wish You Were Here, featuring the opening and closing piece Shine On You Crazy Diamond (a tribute to Syd Barrett who even showed up at the sessions), is thought to be equally great, if not greater, as Dark Side. But tensions between the band were beginning to rear their head. 1977 saw the release of Animals, likening three animals: Dogs, Sheep and Pigs to various classes of society. Roger became the band's main frontman and sole songwriter with Dave occasionally sharing the mic and writing credits. Tensions grew during the tour when Roger ended up spitting on a fan in Montreal and coming up with the idea for The Wall to separate himself from the audience. 1979 would see the release of The Wall, the album and later the tour and film. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 became their best selling single and Comfortably Numb remains one of their most popular tunes. But it nearly broke up the band as Roger fired Rick for lack of output, creating a greater rift between him and Dave. 1983's The Final Cut was Roger's final album with Pink Floyd before he officially left, leaving Dave and Nick to reunite with Rick for 1987's Momentary Lapse of Reason, featuring the song Learning to Fly. Roger sued to break up the band, but failed to do so instead focusing on his solo career. The Gilmour led Floyd would produce 1994's The Division Bell, a return to form for many fans with Rick now sharing vocal and songwriting duties again. Songs included Take it Back, Coming Back to Life, Keep Talking and High Hopes. It wasn't until 2005's Live 8 concert when Dave, Nick and Rick reunited with Roger for a short set giving closure for many fans. Syd never performed with Pink Floyd again and died in 2006. Rick died in 2008. The album The Endless River was dedicated in his honor. Pink Floyd's legacy has continued to inspire fans and aspiring musicians, myself included. My One Band performance of Dark Side of the Moon kicked off this channel and my Elements piece was directly inspired by them.

Honestly, as cool as a Floyd list would be, you’re right about them being more album-oriented. I’m super excited for the PF reviews, tho. Those are gonna be awesome! If you wanna do some more playlists in the future, I think that Oingo Boingo and Rush could make for some good topics.
I spent years and years figuring out how to make a PF’s playlist and feel like I’ve finally mastered it.......it’s going to make ur 🤯. I play one album at a time from start to finish and then move on to another album. I know it’s mind blowing but I figure PF did all the leg work for me so I get to just sit back, listen and enjoy.
I tried doing a playlist of Pink Floyd recently, and I had to make it two discs to fit everything I wanted on there. Nice to see some love for Obscured by Clouds here. That's a great album that never gets the attention it deserves. Also, I'm super hyped for the abum reviews! I'm curious what you think about Saucerful of Secrets, since that's actually one of my favorite albums of their's. I love how it showcases all five band members.

Everything before Dark Side can be playlisted imo. Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, Ummagumma, A Saucerful of Secrets, and Piper at the Gates of Dawn all have songs that are pretty confined within their run-time. Yeah some of them are super long and transition into completely different arrangements multiple times, but it's still pretty easy to tell when one song ends and another begins
The 'Echoes (The Best of Pink Floyd)' compilation album works really well and the sequencing is spot-on. I still struggle to listen to any individual tracks from DSOTM though. I prefer to listen all the way through.

Pink Floyd has always been one of my dad‘s favorite bands. But I was never really the biggest fan of them, and I kept trying to listen to their songs but they just didn’t click. Until one day I decided to listen to my older brothers copy of Darkside of the moon and then it finally clicked, I was trying to listen to them as individual songs rather than as album experiences and my mind was blown.
Can't wait for the album videos, the history of rock 70s videos was a big reason for me getting into pink floyd a few months ago and I'll be eternally grateful
Amazing how different one album is to the next. Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here, The Final Cut and The Division Bell. So many different styles and sounds.

As someone who appreciates their talents and really likes a few of the songs, but isn't so into the long solos, I'd be into a Pink Floyd compilation album that includes only their more lyrical stuff 1) See Emily Play 2) Lucifer Sam 3) Cymbaline 4) Money 5) Us and Them 6) Brain Damage 7) Wish You Were Here 8) Pigs on a Wing 9) Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 10) Comfortably Numb.

Well, to be honest a Pink Floyd Playlist only work if you choose The early years albums (from Piper to Obscured by Clouds) after that is very difficult to make a playlist because every album after those are concept albums and almost every song in those albums are connected

Hell no, all the albums from 1967 to 1972 have a distinct sound and style. None would fit very well, maybe just throwing a Fat Old Sun, or a Summer 68 with tracks from Obscured by Clouds, but that's about it. The textures on all those albums are different
“Coming back to life” has touched me in a way no song ever has before
Great video! As a huge Pink Floyd fan I understand all the points you made in the video, starting from the fact that it is just impossible to have only ONE playlist. Just for fun, in my collection I have long time created some playlists by Pink Floyd selecting them by genre or context... like: PF deep instrumental, PF rock, PF heavy, PF nocturne, PF travel, etc. But anyway, it's kind of fun create a few surprising connections, but doesn't really work better then just listening to a particular album. More than to think about a possible playlist for PF. It will be a pleasure to see your next videos dedicated to individual albums. There's a lot to discuss not only about the songs in itself but also on the relations they create with themselves (as the transitions you've pointed out). Besides several others, one thing that strikes me about the way how PF produce their albums is the contrast they set in volume for certain parts. It's a little like classic music: the instrumental and almost silent sound lasting several minutes makes the way for the later parts. They really stand out when they get into play. (If I managed to explain what I was trying to say....) Anyway... Fantastic work, man! Cheers from Brazil.
Great idea, and makes total sense. More content like this please JT!
Just found this channel! super cool, and i look forward to watching the album reviews!
Looking forward to the reviews in the new year happy new year
I look forward to your Pink Floyd album reviews 😃 The Pink Floyd playlist on my phone is like 20 songs long, and even then there are plenty of songs that need including to cover their broad musical spectrum. You're correct in saying it's too difficult to whittle them down to a Vinyl playlist while trying to convey the essence of the band musically...a near impossible task actually. Loved the video, liked & Subscribed 👍
I actually made a double album years ago that mixed The Wall, The Final Cut, The Wall Film Versions and a bit of other tracks onto one 4 side double vinyl album. Sadly it’s taken off of KZread but if anyone wants a google drive of the album I’d be more than happy to give anyone a link for it. I’m proud of it to this day.

_"the first time I heard 'dark side of the moon' was on my father's original copy"_ this is also true for me, except I don't know if my father's copy was original and it was a CD
I really love hearing any part of another brick in the wall completely separate from the other songs. It really is satisfying and very complete
I've tried to do mixes as well, and after the 4 disc set I made, I've come to the conclusion that you only got so many options. First Mix - Use all the songs from all the albums that dont go into other songs. So, right there, that sets ya up with a whole bunch of albums. So, how hard is it to make a mix from every single album up to Dark Side? It's easy. It's just a matter of what goes with what. Second Mix - Now you are stuck with those songs that just go into other songs. But it's easy to pull out songs from all the other albums other the Dark Side & The Wall. Third Mix - The Wall (minus Mother or Comfortably Numb, or both) Fourth Mix - Dark Side, but with side 2 played first. Then side 1.
Yay! Can’t wait for the pf review videos. :)
I couldn’t agree more. I love the Floyd. I can’t hear just one song from an album. I have to sit down and listen to the whole record.
Thank you for mentioning any colour you like, it’s honestly the best
This playlist for me would literally just be the stand alone harder rock bangers that bop on their own without all the story telling. However, they are few and far between since Floyd would always stick to their slow building conceptual style. The only songs I can really even think of that would work in a playlist like this are money, have a cigar, comfortably numb, the gold it’s in the…, and maybe another brick in the wall just for the vibes? Idk probably just not even worth it to make the playlist so yeah lol
I really enjoyed this Pink Floyd attempt of a compilation well done..I have done my personal favorites like on 2 cds so I have them handy in my car
You are correct. They always were an album band. "Animals" is a parable of 5 chapters.
Thank you KZread for suggesting this amazing video and channel.
I feel your pain. I've found good value in exploring Floydian "vertical tastings". Par example. There are numerous live versions of "Any Colour You like", and they are all different. It's like numerous different songs that happen to have the same theme. Sometimes Dave takes the lead, other times Rick, and they are all different to the album cut, which is a stone cold classic.
This. This is why i have virtually zero floyd songs on my playlists. I LOVE floyd, but there's only a few couple of songs that work on their own, not because they're bad, but because You know it'd hit so much harder with the context behind, the prime example for this might be (for me at least) The trial and outside the wall.
If it interests you I'd love to see you do Rainbow next. Great video I'll definitely be watching your back catalogue after finding this.
When I first got into Pink Floyd in the 1990s, I made a tape for my car with Darkside of the Moon on one side and Wish You Were Here on the other side. Me and my friends listened to that tape all the way through hundreds of times. One night we ended up leaving the tape in my Friends mom’s car. She decided she was keeping that tape and we never saw it again.
here's how i would make my playlist of mainly long/instrumental tracks if there was no time restriction 1. Astronomy Domine 2. Interstellar Overdrive 3. Let There Be More Light 4. Atom Heart Mother 5. Echoes 6. Absolutely Curtains (maybe? i'm not quite sure with this one) 7. The Great Gig in the Sky 8. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Pt. 1-9) 9. Dogs 10. Run Like Hell 11. High Hopes

Man I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago and now KZread recommends this to me
Pink floyd creates concept albums, which from top to bottom is a masterpiece
A few years back I thought I'd put together a "Lost" Pink Floyd album: About Hitchhiking - Made up from the 1984 solo albums of Gilmour & Waters. With tracks also from Wright's 1978 solo album 1. Until We Sleep (D. Gilmour) 2. Apparently, They Were Travelling Abroad (R. Waters) 3. Murder (D. Gilmour) 4. Summer Elegy (R. Wright) 4. Running Shoes (R. Waters) 5. Love on The Air (D. Gilmour) 6. Sexual Revolution (R. Waters) 7. Holiday (R. Wright) 7. Blue Light (D. Gilmour) 8. The Remains of Our Love (R. Waters) 9. Out of The Blue (D. Gilmour) 10. Go Fishing (R. Waters) 11. All Lovers Are Deranged (D. Gilmour) 14. Drop in From the Top (R. Wright) 12. Every Strangers Eyes (R. Waters) 13. Near the End (D. Gilmour) 14. The Moment of Clarity (R. Waters) *After putting these songs together, it's more apparent that each of the song writers for Floyd had a specific skill. Waters is good at creating the Narrative. Gilmour is good at creating the Soundtrack. Wright was a good Bridge between all of them with the Atmosphere. IMO

I completely agree. I have tried myself to come up with different playlist but none of them ever really worked so I always end up trashing them - even with cassette tapes from the distant past. Each album became one playlist itself for me - I have to listen from start to finish or I'll have a feeling of incompleteness like not watching a complete movie; gotta hear the whole thing in one sitting, like a great meal.
Good to see someone mention a song from Obscured by Clouds, very underrated Floyd album imo.

I was starting to wonder if you'd ever do a Pink Floyd playlist. Your reasoning makes a whole lot of sense as to why a compilation for PF wouldn't work, but I genuinely appreciate the effort. I'm into Pink Floyd, but really just their most popular stuff (1973-1985 aka the Waters era) but I'm also slowly getting into the Syd era and the growing pains that came in the years to follow Syd's departure, as well as their post-Waters stuff, and this video helped point me to what I should stream next by them. Awesome stuff. Have a Happy Thanksgiving! 😁❤ PS: I would LOVE a playlist video on The Velvet Underground 😍

You really can't go wrong with their 70s output, practically every album they made during that time is great, with MEDDLE / DARK SIDE / WISH YOU WERE HERE being the pinnacle for me. But I have to say THE DIVISION BELL is up there for me. I always remember my dad having that one on CD (which back then we didn't have a lot of CDs) and being intrigued by that cover. The pairing of "Take it Back" into "Coming Back to Life" is as great as their classics. And yes Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

@@JTCurtisMusic ....Division Bell was strong for many reasons. The first record/tour post-Waters was uninspired, weak and cocaine-addled (IMO). David bringing in his girl to write the lyrics was HUGE, and a strong Division Bell proved that they weren't dead.

I mean, I do have a playlist of their songs, but I do agree with the fact that you’re supposed to listen to the album like you’re supposed to. I also love how you mentioned The Division Bell, which is the first ever Pink Floyd album I’ve ever listened to.
A PF playlist would have to be themed around some abstract concept. I made one some time back with songs from DSOTM to The Wall. I called it Summer of Darkness, and I amalgamated the themes of those albums to create a story about a boy that slowly loses his mind (DSOTM) over losing a girl he met over the summer (WYWH) while juggling his totalitarian job environment (Animals) and school life (The Wall). You can also create a playlist with a lot of their last albums, as they deal with communication issues, maturation and separation anxiety. You're not gonna necessarily start a party with random joints from Atom Heart Mother, but you can definitely create a cohesive listening experience with a handful of PF songs.
Heres how you do a Pink Floyd Playlist - Echoes - All of Dark Side of the Moon - All of Wish You Were Here - All of Animals - All of The Wall
The term ‘Albums band’ is a bit of a meaningless cliche, and it often applies to bands that just don’t have good enough songs. However in the case of Floyd it is perfectly justified. You could argue that the Barrett era they were more of a pop singles band, the songs are more stand alone, but even then they’re still out of place on a playlist in my opinion. Imagine hearing a playlist of Queen, Deep Purple, REM, then Great gig in the sky comes on, it would stick out like a sore thumb. From Dark side onwards they are lyrically conceptual, but even before that the albums seem conceptual. ‘We will rock you’, ‘Walk this way’, ‘Good times bad times’, ‘Wonderwall’, ‘Alan’s psychedelic breakfast’, people would be like ‘What the fuck is this?’

Hahaha, well put
I made a mega playlist of the Floyd of their best and some personal favourites in which I split it up into 6 parts. Whenever I make a playlist like this I have rules for myself to include at least 1 song from every album, not have songs from the same album play after one another unless they segue into each other and try to spread them out, have each part start and end with a song that sounds appropriate, all songs must be in their entirety and not just parts of it, and all songs must be their original recording. So this is my playlist: 1. Astronomy Domine 2. Cymbaline 3. What Do You Want from Me 4. Free Four 5. Speak to Me 6. Breathe 7. On the Run 8. Sheep 9. Atom Heart Mother ---- 10. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 1-5 11. Welcome to the Machine 12. Time 13. Two Suns in the Sunset 14. In the Flesh 15. Run Like Hell 16. Fat Old Sun 17. High Hopes ---- 18. Hey You 19. The Great Gig in the Sky 20. Green is the Colour 21. The Fletcher Memorial Home 22. Arnold Layne 23. Take It Back 24. Jugband Blues 25. Echoes ---- 26. On the Turning Away 27. See Emily Play 28. When the Tigers Broke Free 29. Us and Them 30. Bike 31. Burning Bridges 32. Sorrow 33. Wish You Were Here 34. Shine On You Crazy Diamond 6-9 ---- 35. Dogs 36. Learning to Fly 37. Marooned 38. Fearless 39. Have a Cigar 40. Money 41. Another Brick in the Wall 1 42. The Happiest Days of Our Lives 43. Another Brick in the Wall 2 44. Another Brick in the Wall 3 45. Goodbye Cruel World ---- 46. One of These Days 47. Pigs 48. Flaming 49. Mudmen 50. The Narrow Way 51. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun 52. Louder than Words 53. Bring the Boys Back Home 54. Comfortably Numb Along the way I tweaked it to make it sound better such as switching Louder than Words and Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and adding On the Run onto Breathe. Some songs are still segued together as they were in their albums, most of them from The Wall as only having part of the song loses the experience for me. I still have flaws with it though, the biggest being Us and Them seguing into Any Colour Your Like being cut to move into Bike. On the plus side in making a mega playlists, I seek to find what songs from different albums sounds best together; an example is Fat Old Sun and High Hopes having the same chime. Due to it being a 5.5 hour playlist, I have almost never listened to it from start to finish uninterrupted so I think starting and ending it the parts with a typical intro and outro suits them well. In conclusion, I still believe a Pink Floyd playlist works, but compared with just listening to the albums, it fairs weak. This may not be said with other bands. I take Slipknot as an example as none of their music are concept projects (although they do apply a psychological theme to each album), and for the single song that is, entitled Vermilion (in 2 parts), I had them put together for that playlist.

I cannot agree more with you brother, even if you manage to integrate all the songs in a way that does not lose context with each other, it would result in a list too long that sooner or later you will get tired of listening and I say this from experience haha
Jim Ladd from KLOS created some insane Pink Floyd playlists, he was the true master. His Headsets programs -- and hour long and commercial free -- were psychedelic tours de force that illuminated a theme from individual songs from Pink Floyd, the Doors, and others.

"Obscured By Clouds" 9. "Dark Side Of The Moon" 10. "Wish You Were Here" 11. "Animals" 12. "The Wall". (If I'm in the mood I would add 13. "The Final Cut" 14. "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" 15. "The Division Bell".)

You just listed all of their albums. 10/10.
12 year old depressed me stumblef on my Dads bootleg "The Wall". HOOKED. My favorite band of all time. suprisingly Dark Side was one of my least favorites.... until 19 years later it hit me... I got it... phenomenal. Albums are stories, adventures. I enjoy them stone sober too...
I really want queen for the next playlist video! And one day I’d like to see a Rush playlist!
Works for me. Got em on Pandora all day at work.
Bc they are perhaps the most album oriented band of all time. And that's not meant to be a criticism. It would be like watching scenes from different films in the same series jumbled together. I can't listen to just one song by Pink Floyd without craving the rest of the album.
If you want a PF playlist: listen to one of their live albums, or one of Waters’ or Gilmour’s live albums.
So true! PF is a Album band and not a Playlist band! It gets you way better in their Universe by listening to a Full Floyd's album than random songs from différent albums! Such a great Prog Band!
I always always play brain damage with eclipse. Never one without the other
Everytime I've ever heard Us And Them on the radio, they always played Any Colour You Like.
I've never maid a Playlist so idk if this would fit but this is what I'd try and get on if I had to:) Side 1 Marooned 5:30 Obscured by clouds 3:05 Wish you where here 5:21 Welcome to the machine 7:32 Side 2 One of these days 5:55 Pig three little ones 11:26 If 4:31 It's kind of impossible their all long and good lmao
Animals is my favorite album of theirs and one of my all timers. Also I made the video woohoo! Also also Pink Floyd reviews let’s gooo
I would have agreed..but I've been listening to the same 2+Hr Mix on KZread for prolly 5yrs now.. it is a phenomenal mix
"i am a huge pink floyd fan" Okay cool i guess i will like the video "it might be my favorite band ever" had to hit the subscribe button after that
A playlist with all of the Pink Floyd songs is fantastic and it would definitely work
What about a The Kinks playlist?
You can make a chronological playlist from Barrett to Obscured. After that it, becomes tricky
Yes, it's better to listen to their albums in one session BUT it is possible to set up a favourites track list for Floyd too, although diff to do, I've done both I've got a list that plays through all their released to general public material playing through it all one full album at a time, but I've also got a fave track listing of about 100 songs too. It's very hard to construct one because very hard to pick out your favourites because it's very nearly all brilliant but I've been a huge fan of Floyd for a long time so through my knowledge of their material I've managed to do it
Nothing from the final cut? Two suns in the sun set , one of the few or the gunners dream? I would agree too much great music to just play a couple tracks.
James Rolfe had a pretty interesting idea of how to make a Pink Floyd playlist work. He makes the disclaimer at the beginning that Pink Floyd is an album band and their records are meant to be listened to in their entirety to truly appreciate and understand their music and they're not meant for a playlist at all. His idea was basically to structure the playlist like a planet. With the crust, outer core, and inner core, and then back to the outer core, and out through the crust. Check out his Playlist Junkie video on Pink Floyd to see what I'm talking about.

I have seen his video, it's interesting. My playlists are meant to be timed to a vinyl record so it makes it more difficult.
Fucking nailed it! I've been telling my friends that for years whenever we rotate songs I for go my turn saving them to play an entire album, Because that's how you listen to Floyd.
Reminds me of listening to a concept album on shuffle which is chaos i tried that once with dark side - Speak To Me - Money -Time - Brain Damage - On The Run - Eclipse - Breathe - Us and Them - Great Gig in The Sky -Any Colour You Like
Very good video of Pink Floyd's songs. Does your dad's Dark Side still have the two posters and two stickers? Mine does! How they never got put on my bedroom walls is unknown, but I still got them.

@@JTCurtisMusic I tore up my "Penis Landscape" poster from the Dead Kennedys' "Frankenchrist" album. You look it up and you'll understand. I made a bad choice in the '80s.
Also! Also shine on you crazy diamond works when all ALL parts strung together thats how it was written but vinyl sides are about i think 20-25mins max . and the wall can be looped last track to first track. The more you know...
I play Hey You as a single a lot, but it's also my favorite song, so take that with what you will.
The final cut is underrated, love the Gunners Dream and When the tigers break free.
