[TS]
01:00:24

01:00:26
◼
►
Floyd wow that's a question recipe you
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
owe you want to answer that question but
[TS]
01:00:31
◼
►
when you haven't got it man it's a
[TS]
01:00:33
◼
►
question for the universe is an
[TS]
01:00:35
◼
►
interesting predicament i find myself in
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
I'm being asked you have to choose
[TS]
01:00:38
◼
►
Manuel what to do
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
well well Pink Floyd was probably the
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
second band that I kind of immerse
[TS]
01:00:44
◼
►
myself in after the Beatles and dearly
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
love almost everything they did they are
[TS]
01:00:49
◼
►
a great album band so it seemed like for
[TS]
01:00:51
◼
►
the album draft they be a good fit
[TS]
01:00:53
◼
►
I'm really anything from my Dark Side of
[TS]
01:00:56
◼
►
the Moon up to the wall maybe the final
[TS]
01:01:00
◼
►
cut but maybe not would qualify as best
[TS]
01:01:04
◼
►
albums of all time for me but I'm going
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
to pick what is actually my favorite
[TS]
01:01:08
◼
►
Floyd album that I never get tired of
[TS]
01:01:11
◼
►
and that is metal from 1971
[TS]
01:01:20
◼
►
[Music]
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
partly because again with the
[TS]
01:01:37
◼
►
eclecticism it starts off with one of
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
these days which is fairly hard rocking
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
for the floyd and it's almost like a
[TS]
01:01:45
◼
►
this very atmospheric sort of horror
[TS]
01:01:48
◼
►
movie soundtrack and then it drifts
[TS]
01:01:49
◼
►
through this really kind of mellow
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
section on a pillow of winds as one of
[TS]
01:01:54
◼
►
the iconic songs and fearless which is
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
just a fantastic song there's a little
[TS]
01:01:59
◼
►
light jazz in San Tropez Sheamus is also
[TS]
01:02:03
◼
►
present but you know it's short and then
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
it then it culminates with the probably
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
their greatest album side length
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
composition which is echoes which is
[TS]
01:02:12
◼
►
just unbelievably great and i love the
[TS]
01:02:16
◼
►
atmosphere to it i like the lyrics that
[TS]
01:02:18
◼
►
seemed to be about I don't know some
[TS]
01:02:19
◼
►
kind of sea creature rising from the
[TS]
01:02:22
◼
►
it's hard to say yeah but but it's a
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
it's one of those songs that just kind
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
of you can get into and sort of float
[TS]
01:02:32
◼
►
around and sort of feel the waves of the
[TS]
01:02:34
◼
►
music drifting in and out and it's it's
[TS]
01:02:37
◼
►
created great song it's a great album
[TS]
01:02:39
◼
►
it's one of the few that that I could
[TS]
01:02:44
◼
►
really seriously consider taking to
[TS]
01:02:46
◼
►
desert island with me because unlike the
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
others i haven't gotten tired of it and
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
I considered picking darkside just
[TS]
01:02:54
◼
►
because it's such a great album such an
[TS]
01:02:55
◼
►
iconic album and such a an albums album
[TS]
01:02:58
◼
►
but I can no longer enjoy dark side of
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
the mountain because I've heard it too
[TS]
01:03:02
◼
►
many times in too many contexts so yah
[TS]
01:03:07
◼
►
metal that said that's the one that that
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
you should listen to
[TS]
01:03:10
◼
►
ok Floyd that's great good to know but
[TS]
01:03:13
◼
►

choice you know everybody everybody all
[TS]
01:03:36
◼

the critics everybody loves and cites
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
the influence of radiohead's ok computer
[TS]
01:03:42
◼
►
and that's why I'm choosing their best
[TS]
01:03:45
◼

from 1995

[TS]
01:04:28
◼
►

[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
Radiohead through through some of their
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
later stuff that was critically
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
acclaimed and glorious less accessible
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
actually like a lot of later stuff too
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
but for me this is the moment where
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
Radiohead still kind of wanted to be you
[TS]
01:04:43
◼
►
too but was inexorably Radiohead that is
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
the best and this is a song this is an
[TS]
01:04:49
◼
►
album full of fantastic songs you know

01:05:17
◼

because you you have heard them as these
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
kind of oblique droney r RT experimental
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
rockers from their latter period and
