PF is long dead and boring to me. The band no longer exists. End of story.

That would be a cool pin. I am sure licensing Pink Floyd material would not be cheap though. The band does not seem to be keen on licensing their music for commerical purposes.

I can safely say I'd prefer Pink Floyd over Iron Maiden, which i would have 0 interest in. I don't see many music pins left to make, to small a market on any of these remaining bands that would have "universal" popularity. If I had to pick one that I would like it would be Rush, Pink Floyd or Van Halen. Beyond those 3 I can't think of any rock bands that a pin would ever be considered on.

I can get behind this but yeah it would be pricey. Probably too much so.

This has been discussed many times. It would outsell Iron Maiden 10.

I personally would buy at least 3.

This would only work if you could change the laws of physics under the glass such that the ball would move at 25% of normal speed and if the cabinet had a built in auto-bong that you attach to your mouth to constantly inhale pot smoke.

Ummm...I think to get the real Pink Floyd experience that auto dispenser might have to provide something somewhat stronger...

I'm not convinced that music pins are a good idea full stop. I like Pink Floyd but their music doesn't really suit pinball. AC/DC works because the music is simple and drives along but it's still flawed in concept.

Let's stick with specifically written music for the games.

Come on man, I have been reading your countless Iron Maiden posts for to long to let you thumbs down the OP and dismiss Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd gets played on the radio 10 to 1 songs of Iron Maidens.

Both pins would be cool, but keeping personal biased opinions aside, Pink Floyd is much more popular and likely for a pin.

Does Iron Maiden have 12 songs that the general public knows? I think not. I can name two songs that most people have heard from Iron Maiden. Pink Floyd has an easy dozen songs that are instantly recognizable.

Although I LOVE Pink Floyd, I don't think that their music would suit a themed pinball machine.

It's too sombre and slow. :zzz:bring on an Iron Maiden or Led Zeppelin pin though!

I'd struggle to name more than two Iron Maiden songs but I also think most non Pink Floyd fans would struggle to name more than three or four of their songs. What would you say are the best known? I reckon most people would say "Another Brick In The Wall", "Money" then get stuck.

Can't stand Pink Floyd or Zeppelin. Iron Maiden is great, but my money would be spend on a Rush pin in the blink of an eye. Or Huey Lewis and the News, dead serious, love that band!

Maybe they could also license Wizard of OZ and have a special DSOTM w/ WOZ mode In all seriousness I would love to see a Pink Floyd pin. It would be my 3rd choice after Zeppelin and the Beatles for a rock theme.

I'd like to see any band actually work with the sound designers to make specific music AND sound effects for the game instead of just clumsily trying to fit existing tracks into the game. It only has to be about 20 or so 90 second tracks, a lot of which would be different versions of the same themes.

I would buy a Pink Floyd game even if it only featured one of the following albums:

1) Dark Side of the Moon

2) The Wall

3) Animals

4) Wish You Were Here

Here is my dream backglass:

Plus, you get cows.

I think that is a horrible idea... that means I would have to spend another 9 grand and fine space I do not have.

A Pink Floyd The Wall pinball machine would be amazing if anyone could figure out how to rig a wall across the top middle of the playfield that gets built during play.

I used to play instrumental Pink Floyd tunes at 45 RPMs. They still sounded good.

This guy could be the programmer.

Almost everybody likes Pink Floyd.

But I think the music is waaaayyyyyyyy too slow for a modern pinball machine.

Point taken on naming the songs, but played on the Radio off the top of my head

Time

Wish you were here

Comfortably Numb

Shine on You Crazy Diamond

Another Brick in the Wall

Have a Cigar....

And more.

Iron Maidan...

Run to The Hills

Number of the Beast

I agree, "joe public" may not be able to name many of these songs, but will recognize the tunes. That being said, I doubt either pin will be made by Stern. If its Iron Maiden though I owe Jackontherockd a T shirt

I disagree, with Floyd being to slow for a modern pin. Speed has nothing to do with a good soundtrack for a pin.....Lord of The Rings.

I'm sure you have played AC/DC.

When the song intros are droning on, you are chomping at the bit for it to get to the verse and pick up the pace.

There are pins with dramatic soundtracks like LOTR, for sure.

NO

I have ACDC, I will trade it for Pink Floyd theme same layout/rules ASAP.

Cool, sounds like you could do the first retheme of AC/DC !

http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/acdc-display-and-modify-dot-matrix-images

Yeah, maybe when I can find a beat up one.

Between the canon and Stern's clear coat, should not be too long.....

Point taken.....

WTB project ACDC LE, Prem, or Pro $1,200

I would be in on one. I love music pins, but I think it would be a tuff sell. I just don't think there's enough crowd out there to make them go over like AC/DC and Metallica. Hope I am wrong though! I think it would be a awesome pin!

I'm in!!

Would be tough to license though. I think Stern should do a modern band like the Black Keys.

Anyone saying that Pink Floyd's music wouldn't be well suited to a pinball machine just doesn't understand dramatic effect. If implemented correctly, it would make an amazing soundtrack and an amazing theme. Although, after having played WOZ and experienced the awesome sound/video/light show, I might suggest Jersey Jack tackle the project instead of Stern.

Well there's the rub. "If..." I'm assuming it'd be like ACDC and Metallica where they just play whole or large chunks of song and that wouldn't work for most bands especially Floyd. I agree it would be possible to make something amazingly dramatic and dynamic with their music but until I've seen that done I think I'll reserve my judgement.

Play a WOZ without the sound on and play the cd of Pink Floyd in the background and everyone wins.

I just tried a few hours of pinball with noise isolating headphones on my slowest machine (Space Mission) and Floyd is just too slow to keep up with the pacing of the game.

I tried DSOTM and The Wall. I had forgotten how slow and depressing The Wall really was. If I was going to kill myself, that album would be the soundtrack.

Poking around for a classic rock pinball soundtrack album, the best match for the pace of Space Mission was Ted Nugent's "Super Hits". Only one song, a Beatles cover "I want to tell you", was too slow for the game.

So, for many of you, Pink Floyd's music is too.......slow????

I guess that the same people would be against a Led Zeppelin pin?

Because many of LZ's greatest songs were quite slow as well:

Stairway to Heaven
Kashmir
Good Times Bad Times
All My Love
Battle of Evermore

So are some of the Metallica songs. So are Queen, U2, and about 90% of all great rock bands.

Aren't some of you big fans of WOZ? Have you really listened to what's playing in that game?

I believe that there is a place for Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Rush, Queen, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, U2, The Ramones, Nirvana, David Bowie and many others.

Great art, great shots, great toys, great callouts, great animations and great scoring make up for a whole bunch of other things in this hobby.

40 of the top 50 games ranked on Pinside do not have great music.

I vote for leaving 90's heavy metal bands behind for something else.

Just my 2 cents.

I would sell everything I own for a PF Pin!!!

I love Pink Floyd and would be in as well. Only problem is Roger Waters being such a perfectionist is what made Alan Parker threaten to leave the set many times during the filming of "the Wall". Again, this perfectionism is what makes Roger such a great artist. Imagine him trying to influence Stern. It could be great or it could be bad based on the influence...
