So the tone/mood/beat of most Pink Floyd songs is more chill, but Touch of Grey just sounds “peppier” (if that makes sense). I like both but for different reasons, and in different moods. Totally get why others don’t though - I’m far from a deadhead but I can see the appeal to folks. Contrary to a lot of my post history I am (or at least used to be) a live and let live guy - do what you like, I’ll do what I like, and where those intersect well have some fun!
Gotcha. It just threw me off that you were comparing a single Grateful Dead song to the entire catalogue of Pink Floyd. I assumed I misunderstood.
So I suppose the only other question I have for you is: do you consider A Momentary Lapse of Reason to be an exception to Pink Floyd's catalogue (for better or worse) or more of the same? Or just part of the evolution of their sound over the decades? I think a lot of fans are fine with it, but I've also heard some fans of 60s/70s bands less accepting of the band's latter catalogue.
It does have a different feel, but I still like it. And actually, thanks for reminding me about it - been a while since I have it a listen but I’m glad that I am!
