Should it be noted that Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead lists this among his favorite albums? It's on the Radiohead or Jonny Greenwood page, anyway.Squonks tears 22:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Boy, that Jonny - he's a cutting edge dude, huh?

What's that on the album cover? -- Anonymous

If you open the cover and turn it 90 degrees you will see an ear--Madklub 09:49, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seamus

Meddle also has the interesting distinction of having the two songs often nominated the worst and the best songs produced by Pink Floyd (these being "Seamus" and "Echoes" respectively).

Often voted one of the worst Floyd songs in fan polls, a glimpse into the band's humorous side was shown on "Seamus"

Add a reference for these polls. Otherwise I will remove them as it is extremely POV to name the best and worst songs by a band. Jhayes94 18:09, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Looks like someone beat me to it! Jhayes94 01:26, 20 April 2006 (UTC)


Does anyone know if roger Waters wrote all the lyrics on this album, its just that Dark side of the moon is often refered as the first album with all lyrics by Waters.

It's possible that Gilmour or even Wright wrote some of the words to the "middle" songs on Meddle, since they're not all up to Roger's standards. I think the lyrics to "Echoes" are entirely his — they certainly seem like his style — and he still talks about the song as being part of his body of work (he doesn't often do that for the early collaborative songs). The identity of the lyricist for everything except "San Tropez" is up for debate, though. Maybe someone can locate a songbook from this period, with separate credits for words and music?

[edit] Remix of Echoes

I have an Ambient and Ambient Techno (almost Trance) remix of Echoes (that is simply great, imho), but I havent found yet who made it. I believed, as many did in past years, that the Orb or the Orbital made it, but it has been proved untrue. See also the talk page at the Orb article. Does anyone have any clue ?--Doktor Who 15:11, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

The KLF are sometimes credited for these releases, that's not verifiable however. BotleySmith 20:01, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Extremely unlikely I feel - they're too lazy! :) I've heard The Orb mentioned but I think that was debunked on the Orb mailing list? Of course, if you're a noname ambient producer and you want your bootleg to sell well, you start a rumour that it was done by the Orb or the KLF (i.e. leading lights of the genre) don't you? :) --kingboyk 18:53, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Echoes/2001

Wikipedia is not a rumour mill; when a section contains the words "reputed" and "rumoured" then it ceases to be encyclopedic and instead becomes internet babble. Furthermore, this kind of speculation is along the same lines as the infinite monkeys, typewriters, Shakespeare etc. Comparing the musical piece with the celluloid, several moments of apparent serendipity may be observed but the piece finishes well before the film reaches its climactic moment. There are no citations/references for the band regretting their previous denial to Kubrick, either. I suggest that unless someone can produce a few facts and credible references this section be pruned out.It is sufficient that the episode is listed as an external link. 84.13.246.35 09:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Track Listing

I noticed that the track listing box on Fearless references "You'll Never Walk Alone", but Seamus doesn't. "You'll Never Walk Alone"'s article was also edited by one user. I haven't seen a track listing that includes this song, even as an instrumental note (granted, I haven't done an exhaustive search for track listings including it). Does anyone have opinions about deleting the article for "You'll Never Walk Alone"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Siward (talk • contribs) 20:10, 17 April 2007.

Why would "Seamus" include it? "You'll Never Walk Alone" isn't listed as a separate song, it's only interpolated during the football chant at the end of "Fearless". It's not a Pink Floyd composition, either, as this article attests. The user who created the You'll Never Walk Alone (Pink Floyd song) article must have mistakenly thought otherwise. I'll delete it and correct the link underneath "Fearless" so that it points to the right page. BotleySmith 15:41, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Er, I said Seamus but meant San Tropez. I felt that Meddle's article got it right and the since-deleted article was wrong, but just wanted to make sure. Siward 00:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
