"we live in a society" *8 minute guitar solo*

David Gilmour rapping is one of the most cursed things I have ever had to picture in my head.

To think Pink Floyd’s name is the “The Megadeaths” in another timeline is insane.

"As a guitarist and musician, David Gilmour is great. As a lyricist, he is" LMFAO

Dark Side of the Moon was on the UK charts for 17 straight years. I think that makes it very clear how influential it was.

A funny thing about The Wall tour was that the tour was so expensive, the band ended up losing money. But since they had hired Richard Wright as a touring musician after leaving the band, he was the only one to actually make money on it.

In Germany, there's a Radio station that each year does a "Hitparade", where listeners can vote for their top 5 songs of all time. They then play the 1001 most voted songs, over one week, 24 hours a day. Since it's a station that mainly ~35 to 60 year olds listen to, it's a lot of classic rock, and the most important thing is that they always play the full length songs, never the radio version. So it's always super nice when some Pink Floyd comes on and you just know that there'll be no talking for the next 15 mins and you can blast Echoes in your car ^^ It's one of my favourite events of the year.

If you dont count the soundtrack albums, Meddle in 1971 to the Wall in 79 is one of if not the greatest 5 album run in all of music

Kanye didn’t drop but mic the snare did

Oh man I can’t wait to hear you talk about the best album of all time Nostalgia critic’s The Wall. A modern classic

Obscured by clouds: -childhood’s end -burning bridges -mudmen -the gold it’s in the... All great tracks

your pronounciation of "shine on you crazy diamond" changed my entire picture of that song

I think Animals is a more “garsh, we really do be living in a society tho” album than The Wall

"Dark Side of the Moon ? *_It's not even their most ambitious musical Statement_* " You guessed it's the melon man

It’s so crazy that they didn’t professionally record any of their concerts from their peak 1973-1977. I still hope that one day we’ll get a full blu ray show from the 1970’s. I just know Waters has something somewhere lol

David Gilmore and Rick Wrights performance of Echoes at Gdańsk is fantastic.

Fun fact: if any of you don’t know the School of Rock program, it’s basically a place that gives music lessons to kids and puts them in a band to do concerts of covers. As a rule, whenever a new School of Rock location opens, the first show they do is The Wall. I’ve played it twice, and it’s great

Their album run from 1973-1979 is legendary

The wall was one of the first LPs I bought. For over a year, I only listened to the first side, because I was too scared to continue. And that was not because of someone telling me that the album is heavy an all that, it was just the music and me. But, one day, I had just got rejected by this girl that I liked (A LOT), and I was feeling really down, so I just put it on. Listened through the whole thing, while reading the lyrics on the inner sleeves. When I finished, I went to bed, completely quiet. The next day I did the same thing. The day after that, I turned off the lights in my room, and turned the volume up. No reading this time. I just closed my eyes, and listened to the whole album. And btw, about me feeling (really) down, well the album did not help… it kind of did the opposite... :/. I could relate to a lot from that album, so it was like someone just singing my feelings. Now, I’ve listened to it so many times, that I can not count. It’s one of my most favourite albums… ever. It speaks to me, and it defines my hardest period (yet) in my life. Btw, I like to say thank you to my best friend for helping me at that time. (Sorry for the bad (or okay, I don’t know) English. Hope you understood everything I wrote. Also, thank you for reading!)

Post-Waters, "on the turning away" is the undeniable high-point to me. How does it not even get a mention? Also obscured by clouds deserves more love.

I was really excited to see what you thought about the masterpiece that is Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict.

i know this is part of the whole sentiment of DDD, but i want to point out how much i appreciate this format for existing with the intention of the audience not knowing anything about the band in question. especially with a band as ubiquitous as pink floyd for example, it's embarrassing to be someone interested in music but to have peers find out that you yes indeed in fact have never intentionally listened to a single song from them. so dope to have fun engaging ways to get interested in music but without the snobbery (especially the snobbery i see from rock bros)

“Coming back to life” on the Division Bell is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard

Meddle is the most underrated album of all-time, and probably my 3rd favorite Pink Floyd record, only following Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon...which are probably my two favorite albums, of all-time. I wish it got half the hype that The Wall gets.

"Dark Side of the Moon - that extra something isn't there for me." This guy has never dropped acid

Captions are being worked on, they'll be added asap. Hope you all enjoy this one :) UPDATE: Captions have been added!

My favorite albums are the ones just outside their "golden era." 1) Atom Heart Mother. They finally started taking their music seriously, but they still retained a sense of humor and essence of fun. "Summer '68" is one of my favorite Pink Floyd tracks. 2) Meddle. The precursor of their "golden era," but musically, the album is such a odd and twisted groovy mood! 3) A Momentary Lapse of Reason. I don't really have a reason other than I just think it's really beautiful.

I just love Be Careful With That Axe Eugene, the atmospheric first half which gets shattered by Waters' scream, and bursts into a much heavier and hard hitting second half. Just an amazing song!

Mad respect for avoiding the obvious Doug Walker joke during The Wall, and instead hitting us with the double Tommy Wiseau & Zelda CD-I comparisons that nearly made me CHOKE from the giggles they produced

Wish You Were Here is an undying, heartbreaking masterpiece.

The Gilmore solo on comfortably numb is a major highlight of my adolescence. Like seeing Star Wars for the first time.

these vids are so rewatchable and fun cause of your editing style, appreciate the effort you put into these!

Screw Donda this is what I’ve been waiting on

Cocteau twins have a decently sized discography, a good dive for sure!

19:00 I’m so glad you mentioned the See Emily Play Reference at the end of Shine on You Crazy Diamond. It’s literally the perfect ending to the album and brings tears to my eyes every time

While Piper At the Gates of Dawn comes really close because of its visceral edginess, childhood and rustic whimsy and zaniness mixed with intense far out psychedelic rock, overall I think that Dark Side of the Moon is the most impressive because of its remarkable consistency as an integrated whole combining space rock with the constraints of time, death, insanity, money and war with a multitude of voices expressing the ways in which they try to cope with it. It also operates with a diverse range of musical styles from gospel in Great Gig in the Sky and Eclipse, to jazz and blues while featuring melodic and dynamic rock guitar solos on Time and Money. The inclusion of sound effects also evokes the events of daily life from the mad cap laughs hearkening back to the name of Syd Barrett's solo album, to the ticking of the clocks setting off alarms, to the heart beats while running foreshadowing the line and you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking in Time. Not to mention the allusion to Syd Barrett again at the very end, "The sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the moon after singing and when the band your in starts playing different tunes, I'll see you on the Dark Side of the Moon. This is a reference to Syd Barrett untuning his guitar on stage and strumming the same chord over and over again while Pink Floyd tries to play a different song. In my opinion, there is a tendency especially on videos and comments to be contrarian by choosing another Pink Floyd album as their best. I have even seen the comments sections of videos in which Dark Side of the Moon isn't even mentioned as the best one time. Certainly, I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this defies the opinions expressed in mass polls on line in which Dark Side of the Moon is routinely picked as the best. The divergence in opinion is really intriguing perhaps it speaks to a deep human need to unseat what is perceived as the impeccable best and the ones most outspoken are more likely to express this in comments. I know this is a feeling I often have myself, but in this case the comparative excellence of Dark Side of the Moon has overcome it. 1. Dark Side of the Moon 2. Piper at the Gates of Dawn 3. Meddle 4. Wish You Were Here 5. The Wall 6. Saucerful of Secrets 7. Atom Heart Mother 8. Animals 9. Obscured by Clouds 10. Umma Gumma 11. Division Bell 12. A Momentary Lapse of Reason 13. Final Cut 14. Endless River 15. More

I'd love to see a Led Zeppelin Deep Discog Dive next

I agree that the middle section of The Wall kinda drags, but "Young Lust", "One of My Turns" and "Nobody Home" are bangers imo.

This is an awesome video! You’re done a fantastic job at editing and speaking over it and going in depths! It was very enjoyable❤️

Don’t tell him, but obscured by clouds is my personal favorite just because of the song mudmen. Such a great and underrated song

“Mother do you think they’ll drop the dive?”

holy shit i was literally just thinking about marathoning the entire pink floyd discography, nice!

Shine on You Crazy Diamond gives me shivers every time ... that opening chiming four note motif!

Some inaccuracies. Syd invented "space rock" with "Astronomy Domine" and "Interstellar Overdrive", so I don't understand why you're giving credit to "A Saucerful of Secrets" for being the first album to explore space rock. Also, the longer song-form was already being explored during the Syd era, as evidenced by not only the extended instrumental tracks, but by the live shows, where even the songs with lyrics would stretch out for many minutes. Norman Smith, the band's producer, their management, and the band's hunger for fame, actually pushed for a more pop direction to compete with The Beatles, which wasn't exactly the vision Syd originally had for the band's first album. Originally, "Piper" was going to only have 4-5 songs, much like later Floyd albums, and would essentially be a live document (with some minor studio tinkering) of the band's UFO Club set at the time. The direction "Piper" did end up going actually played a factor in Syd's breakdown, because the underground crowd at the time began accusing the Floyd of being sell-outs. And Syd, while a genius at pop songwriting, was essentially being milked and forced to take a direction he ultimately began to despise. In a strange twist of fate, pretty much everything the Floyd started doing without Syd was exactly the kind of direction Syd had been pushing for in the band in the first place. To me, it's not fair nor even accurate to relegate Syd as this fairy tale pop songwriter who wrote short and simple concise songs. He was actually the band's most diverse songwriter, and was writing dark songs way before Waters made it his identity. And even during his solo career, Syd was still obsessed with extended tracks for a while, since he was working on "Rhamadan". I think Floyd would have been a mix of glam, progressive, psychedelic, hard rock, and jazz fusion had he remained in Floyd.

Funny how you said The Wall shouldn't be the first album a person should listen to, because it was actually my first Pink Floyd album I ever owned. Still one of my favourites. The film is also damn amazing.

For clarification, the track at 4:56 is actually called "Jugband Blues" rather than "Jughead Blues" And I think Domine in "Astronomy Domine" is pronounced "Dah-min-ay" according to the band members talking about the song, if I'm not mistaken.

Imagine if all these years we were listening to The Tea Set instead of Pink Floyd

Great as always!! I am really looking forward to your Spoon DDD!

Dark Side of the Moon had so much staying power that it stayed on Billboard's Top 200 chart of weekly album sales for a combined total of over 18 _years._

When I was doing audio production class in high school, one piece of advice the teacher gave us was to use Dark Side of the Moon to test speakers and PA systems because of it's dynamic range. The whole class jamming to Time is one of my fondest memories of 2012. And yet again, I'm going to recommend a Crowded House DDD. Seriously, they're criminally underappreciated in the US, despite being household names in the Commonwealth.

these videos really get me interested in listening to artists I'm thinking about trying. This video was the whole reason I got into Pink Floyd.

My favourite song from Pink Floyd is "Poles Apart". Idk, it just makes me feel so nostalgic and melancholic. I guess it's because it reminds me to a friend of mine, we choosed different paths, we left each other, and now we are poles apart

Pink the Floyd? Brick the Wall? Umma the Gumma? All of my YES.

The second solo of Comfortably Numb in the Pulse concert is probably one of my favorite music moments ever. Such a gorgeous solo, and another great video from you !

Mic, you legend. I was JUST thinking of when Pink Floyd was gonna get a Deep Discog Dive.

My personal favorite is Wish You Were Here. It’s so spacy and grand.

Ok so we had a decorator when I was 14 who recommended to my sister and I, Dark Side of the Moon. "It'll change your life." He promised. So we bought it from the shop and let it sit for a while before we both listened to it separately. I remember listening to it through for the first time, quite overwhelmed when Great Gig in the Sky kicked in. It felt like the scream of so many feelings I just couldn't put to words. Maybe it was the family trauma we'd experienced so recently at that point but it felt like a religious experience, a wail into the sky of something words just couldn't define. Anyways. I know not everyone has to experience things the same way but I genuinely can't listen to that song without being reminded of those teenage feelings. It's a beautiful thing but also a lot. Not something I can recommend essentially but will cherish.

Final Cut it's the most loveable, self-pittyble and heartt-breaking Album for me.

I‘ve been waiting for this for so long

Am I crazy for asking for Talking Heads? AM I!? Probably. But this was wonderfully informative as always and I'm genuinely curious.

i think The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is top 3 in their discography and is one of their most influential and futuristic albums, soo underrated

Funny enough that stretch of tracks on The Wall from Empty Spaces to Bring the Boys Back Home is my favorite part of the album; idk why but the three track run that starts Side 2 from Hey You to Nobody Home I’ve always found perfect. Great video as always Michael

The first video of yours I’ve ever watched after having never heard of your channel until the algorithm auto played this video and it’s about my favorite band in the world while I’m wearing a tie-dye DSoTM shirt. Yeah, you get a sub. Not to mention the video is good and you seem like a pretty cool guy that doesn’t afraid of anything

I'm gonna, once again, say: DO A WEEN DIVE

Appreciated this one quite a lot. The Smiths or The Cure next, please!

Great vid as always, I'd love to see a ween episode

I must’ve gone through the history of Pink Floyd a hundred times now. However, I never get tired of listening to their story. My top three albums have to be Piper (being a huge Syd Barrett fan), AHM, and WYWH. Very well done video! Subscribed!!

Doe-mine????? It's dom-ih-nee! dom-ih-nee! It rhymes with Astronomy for cryin out loud!

Obscured by Clouds is actually a very good album on it's own, and am interesting listen when considering they were working on Dark Side alongside the album. Childhoods End is the only essential listen on the album, but it sounds like an early prototype of Time.

Thank you for shouting out Bike, a song that never gets skipped when it pops up on my favorites

This is a great video love the work

i'm honest: after years of denying, i finally accepted the truth that 'dark side of the moon' is their best album. wywh and animals are fantastic albums, but jesus. the opener which introduces the sounds of the following album? probably my favourite pink floyd song time? the gorgous screaming on great gig in the sky? hell, i even love on the run. and then the fantastic flow of the last four tracks, including the perfect closer eclipse? i don't care. dsotm is pure perfection in a way only few albums are.

Can you do Joni Mitchell for the Deep Discog Dive?

I’d love to see a deep discog dive on Jimi Hendrix - you always deliver with these videos Mr. The Snare

Prince vid was awesome, thanks!!! Cant wait to see this one. :)

While I agree that DSOTM is only good, the sequence of Us And Them all the way through Eclipse might be one of the best on any of their albums. It’s a perfect showcase of every band member’s strengths on top of Roger’s immaculate songwriting capabilities. It’s a stellar finish that singlehandedly raises the album to amazing.

I literally screamed when I saw the notification since Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands ever. Very epic video, can't wait for the next DDD.

Pink Floyd really are something special and there really is no one else like them. January last year, I got into Pink Floyd and I still love their music and the history behind the band. Thank you for this video, it was extremely entertaining and informative too.

those first notes in shine on you crazy diamond always make me wanna cry

I have a couple of suggestions to do. The Beatles, Drake, Fleetwood Mac, Paramore, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Run the Jewels

Lost the chance to vote JAY Z for a DDD for the 8th time

This makes me want to see a Supertramp discography dive

As a fan, this was a great video. Good job!

"Wright left Pink Floyd" lol, great sentence

god i love echoes but every time i listen to it i get a moment in that riff when I'm like "wait why am i listening to the phantom of the opera"

Fantastic video! That was a very forgiving take on Ummagumma though lol. I'm also one of those weirdos that has Division Bells in their too 3 haha

Time is my fav song, but Animals is my fav album. Wish You Were Here is on par and arguably the best Pink Floyd album, in the sense that you felt equal contributions/individual influence from each member of the band to the finished album/product.

man i love this series so much. Pink floyd is my dad's favourite, and also a big part of the culture of my grandma's city i shit you not. they have a carnaval event in their honour. i know a lot about them and i do also love the band, but never took the time to listen to every single album, even with my background it felt a lil overwhelming to fully go album by album. this video is very helpful to that endeavour, a great intro to the different phases and to what to expect of each album.

We’re gonna get that Car Seat Headrest DDD some day, we just gotta keep tryin 💪🏻

Thank you for the shoutout to The Final Cut album at the end, truly underrated album

When I was younger, The Wall movie was on TV and my dad (who is a huge Pink Floyd fan) had me watch it with him. It was such a heavy film and the imagery was sometimes so disturbing that I couldn't sleep at all that night and it stuck with me for days afterward. It's now one of my favorite albums lmao I still haven't been able to watch the movie again though.

I've recently dived in Sparks discography, an american pop band and who will soon have released a documentary about them directed by the renowed Edgar Wright, and I think you'll enjoy their diversity in terms of pop music. Also great vid

The Wall scared the crap out of me as an 11 year old who just wanted to get into music

Live performances of songs from Obscured By Clouds are AMAZING. The added solo to Childhood's End is a chef's kiss performance... With some hints of that Animal's aggression

I still can't get over the fact that Pink Floyd were almost called The Meggadeaths.

Mr. The Snare, could you please add Rush to the DDD choices list for the next audience vote? There’s nothing I want to witness more than your reaction to Neil Peart’s drumming. (And also the sonic whiplash of tonal shifts, time signatures, and lyricism you’ll go through over the course of 20 albums)

"See you on the dark side of the moon" has the same energy as "It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights"

those roger waters the wall concerts/shows/operas/however you want to call them are *amazing* ...i've let a tear loose several times throughout the thing, not ashamed to admit it

Just a small detail at 30:22, "When The Tigers Broke Free" was actually added a bonus track in 2004 to the Final Cut (the song was originally issued as a single to promote the Wall Movie release!) but other than that superb video! The only thing I'd wish you mentioned was the 2 minute jam "More Blues" holding resemblance to Shine On and how "Obscured by Clouds" is a great transition into the *SICKO PERIOD* sharing much of the same production and lyricism and songwriting as Dark Side (the two-part intro and Childhood's End are particular favourites of mine!). Otherwise, this is an impeccable lookback!

This is 42 minutes. Again, you have to revisit Outkast and give them more than 15 minutes.
