Which I'm going to do right now. I haven't heard these in a while. I'll vote in a bit...
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk, Interstellar Overdrive, Bike

Those 3 are just annoying. Floyd didn't have it quite right yet on Piper. They got it on Saucerful.

But I will say Chapter 24 will also get my vote, soon.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Interstelar Overdrive, Gnome, Bike.

Piper sucks. The only (remotely) good song is See Emily Play.
Saucerful is another story, and kicks ass.

Which isn't on the album.

Anyway, Piper is excellent, for the most part. I think it's better than Saucerful.

I vote Stethoscope, Gnome and Clegg.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

From these tracks, I especially care for Astronomy Domine & Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun.

I won't vote this round, since I am not into the rest of this ancient Floyd material. But I'll be back as soon as it's going to be more exciting.  :D
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Technically, no, but it's from the same period, and from same recording sessions.
It was even featured on re-release of Piper.

Somewhat equal to Total Eclipse.

@Foro, i also don't rate this earliest Floyd era as good as later material, however, i did give a fair amount of spins to both records. Piper really never worked for me. I can't hear any characteristic of classic Floyd there (whereas you can easily hear all the proto-ingredients of classic Maiden on their earliest recordings, for example). Saucerful is different - the opener is excellent, Set The Controls also, and when the all mumbo-jumbo erratic stuff ends on title track, you can actually hear classic Floyd there.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

I hate all these songs.

The first great Floyd song to me was Green Is The Colour

The first real album to me was TDSOTM.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Zare, I forgot about this title track. I know it and find it strong as well.

I actually need to give Saucer... more spins (but I first need to buy it, hell I don't even own it *is ashamed*. )

The same goes for Atom Heart Mother (1970) & Obscured By Clouds (1972). I know one or two tracks and that's about it. I'd mostprobably dig this better than the debut album.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Interstellar Overdrive is insane! Obscured By Clouds is one Floyd's best.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Good Lord a Pink Floyd survivor  :yey:

The Pipper is my 3rd best Floyd after Meddle and Atom Heart Mother and I really do not like Saucerful of Secrets.
Good to see Emily here! SMX, do this for the other non-album songs please e.g Arnold Layne  <_<, Julia Dream, Eugene & his axe, Biding My Time and the rest !  :)

Corporal Clegg
A Saucerful Of Secrets
See-Saw
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

^ Julia Dream is a wonderful little song  :D
About Eugene and his hatchet, the first recording / performances aren't that good, compared to the 1973 / 1977 live versions. That's a pure fucking  :edmetal:
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

And the solo of Biding my Time is just thunder !!
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Julia Dream, a great song which Red Hot Chilli Peppers ripped off from one their biggest hits, The Other Side.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

Listen to both songs and you'll see how. It's not even funny how they're identical.
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

I know both very well but I can't make the match... Did you read a relative interview ??
 
Re: Pink Floyd Survivor 2010: Piper vs Saucerful round 1 (Aug 17-19)

No. Why would it get mentioned on an interview?

You know both songs very well and can't see it? Dude, listen again. First time I listened to Julia Dream it clikced immedeately with RHCP.

Really? It's not on the CD I have.

Well, it doesn't really matter anyway ;)
