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

Did mason write the line @one of these days im going to cut you into little pieces@, as he ssays it?
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)

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.
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)
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)
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.
I was going to edit the track listing for 'Meddle' and give one of them tables that makes it look a lot better. But I'm not too sure how the referencing works. So, if I were to keep Exactly the same infomation but to put it in a table would I have to change any references or could I just go ahead with it?
--MrHolyStickman 22:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I added the section thats mentioned above yesterday. But I realise now that I should have talked about it on here. Should this be left to stand or should it be deleted as it is just to do with Echoes and not with Meddle as an album? --MrHolyStickman 14:57, 20 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrHolyStickman ( talk • contribs)
I know I might be in over my head, but I have a few issues. First of all, while the tracklist thing works for some bands, it needs to be reworked for bands such as the Floyd (or The Eagles, or The Band, etc.) that have multiple lead vocalists to provide a spot to put who sings lead.
Secondly, I have read elsewhere (can't remember where) that "Dark Side" is the first Floyd album where Roger wrote ALL the lyrics, so, not disagreeing with whoever put it, I just think it needs a source. (And I know that some writing credits during this period are spotty at best, you're not telling me they all four wrote Seamus--Nick doesn't even play!) javascript:insertTags(' PinkFloyd69 ( talk) 01:31, 11 December 2008 (UTC)',,) User:PinkFloyd69
I see what you're saying, but a lot articles on the songs mentions who sang lead vocals. also, the "Echoes" book details some of the singing credits. And--I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'm not sure I understand this--do you have to have a reference for every fact? Does, for instance, "The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776" need a reference? Also,does the album booklet say Roger wrote all the lyrics on this one (I downloaded through iTunes). And regarding "Seamus", I wasn't saying the article was wrong, I was just saying the band themselves might have been stretching things a little on the album credits. Anyway, thanks for your help.javascript:insertTags(' PinkFloyd69 ( talk) 20:36, 13 December 2008 (UTC)',,)
Thanks. So should I delete "All lyrics by Roger Waters?"javascript:insertTags(' PinkFloyd69 ( talk) 01:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)',,)
Excellent. Thanks, now I know a lot more about how to edit! And btw, I hope Roger didn't write all the lyrics, that would prove a lot of my theories about the Floyd false; but I did find a (somewhat reputable, if not completely) source that Roger did write the lyrics for "Echoes"--the 'Live at Pompeii" DVD,it has the lyrics under the bonus features and it says (Waters,Gilmour,Mason,Wright; lyrics Waters). Just thought that was interesting.javascript:insertTags(' PinkFloyd69 ( talk) 04:14, 16 December 2008 (UTC)',,)
As with WYWH, I've been rewriting this article in my sandbox. Feel free to comment, but if none is made I'll copy what I'm working on over here in a few days time. Parrot of Doom ( talk) 21:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria Looks good so far. Most of the stuff I noticed was related to the writing, and there weren't any major errors. With some alt text and audio samples this will be very close to featureable.
Call me biased, but I believe this album, as with Wish You Were Here, should be the redirect of 'Meddle', with the hatnote remaining. While the Little Boots song meets notability guidelines, being a single, it has garnered 0 reception besides spending 1 week at #97 on the UK Music Charts, compared to 40 years of critical commentary. Basically it is my opinion that most to all people who come to wikipedia and type in "Meddle" are looking for a Floyd album (and the hatnote serves the odd straggler that is disappointed not to see their favourite Little Boots song covered) - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 15:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
An "ear, underwater"? That's garbage, made up either here or in the book that is used for the reference. The picture is a nose, upside-down. Patsobest ( talk) 08:28, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
What does that mean? Does "fearless" not mean "fearless"? · rodii · 19:10, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
You're quite right, the braindamage source does not say what material was toured in 1970, But if the Mason book cited says that the band toured only America and England, I'd suggest that it's wrong and should also be removed. Thanks. BridesheadRecarpeted ( talk) 20:10, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
The Pink Floyd Facebook page run by EMI just noted that the album was released November 5th.
[1] I also don't see a release date on the pinkfloyd.com site. Should it be changed?

Some people would say that it was the "Syd Barret ' style album with David Gilmore replacing Syd on guitar.... We should ask the band..... Mikejbradley ( talk) 09:31, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
We were waiting for the new Pink Floyd album. When it was released, I rushed to the local record store to buy it. Took it home and invited; my best friend Danny to join me listening to it. Boy were we excited...no radio stations played Pink Floyd then, they didn't even know who Floyd was.... When Danny heard it, he said, "No!😦 they went "mersh!!" I immediately responded "I like it" , and suddenly Danny said, "me too. "
Mikejbradley ( talk) 09:50, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
"... is considered a transitional album between the Syd Barrett-influenced group of the late 1960s and the emerging Pink Floyd."
This is a rather bizarre statement, given that Barrett left the group a full three years earlier, and the group had released four highly-regarded albums since that time.
Although this sentence cites a BBC review of the album in support of the statement, that review at no point describes to the album as "transitional," --and merely asserts that the group was "flailing somewhat" during the period (almost certainly a minority opinion, given that all four LPs reached the UK Top-10).
