WISH YOU WERE HERE

Pink Floyd, in my opinion, musically cannot compare to Yes, Genesis , ELP or VDGG. However, they have invented something new. They combined the space majestic sounds of spheres with simple, nearly folk songs. And it is working excellently, especially in the great three albums AHM, DSOTM and WYWH. Perhaps the Animals a bit too. Nevertheless in later stuff not, although I used to like the Wall the most as a teenager, today I am aware that the Wall hardly compares with the above mentioned albums. The more introvert and deppressive PF is, the less I am able to listen to it. In other words, the greater influence and impact of RW on the final product, the smaller impact on me. Concerning later PF, I much more prefer two solo projects of DG, which though lacking the space sounds of spheres are rendering the musicality of simple folk songs, and that side is I think more important than the sound of the space. WYWH is my favorite of PF and Shine on.... the best track of them.
