WISH YOU WERE HERE

1) WYWH was the first album i bought that broke my age barrier. I stopped listening to nickelback and creed and started dabbling into the darker, if you will, arts. I was 14, and am now 17, and i've never stopped my adventure into the endless types of music that exist, and it starts with this perfectly constructed, smooth as silk album.

2) Of all of the music i've heard in my life, no album has ever been more heart-felt and true than this one. Lyrically, Pink Floyd peaked with songs about the dangers of fame, lonliness, and big brother.

3) Musically, this album soars. The beautifully gentle guitar work builds on top of it self from a breeze to a storm that leaves the listener completely stunned. Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pt. 1 is an epic beauty that fills your head with stars and wonder like no other song is able to do. Of course each song following has similar effects, but does them in different ways, some more gentle, some more extreme.

All in all, Wish You Were Here is the best song on the album as well. Song construction of such smooth perfectness is impossible to find in any song written past it. Ending in a tornado and once again it builds to the climax, which is, Shine On You Crazy Diamond pt. 2, the perfect closer

Never in my life has an album been so striking right from the beginning as being perfect, Pink Floyd released the greatest album ever recorded.
