People can have a closed mind (and ears) with groups like this.......Anything past a certain date is considered "rubbish"......in my view that view is "rubbish"!


It has nothing to do with the date, it's the fact that it's the weakest PF album.

Hi guys, Pink Floyd fanboy here. The band that got me into music as a whole.

Gotta love and appreciate me all Pink Floyds work!
You know someone told me and I also work in the music industry that Pink Floyd has a huge wherehouse in Phx Arizona filled with all the stuff from the wall tour thats just been sitting there for yrs tour busses and all!
Whether true or not i'd like to think I could stumble upon that and take a walk inside someday! lol
Much love for the FlOyD
Not to mention each artist has went on to do some great solo projects.
Nice post and thanks for sharing.

Apparently, Mum & Dave took him to a very expensive salon for a makeover to impress m'learned judge and, thus, avoid a sixteen month jail sentence.

Better go back for a refund!LOL

Just thought I would attach a link to this news article about David Gilmour's son Charles.  Apparently, he is a chip off the old brick in the wall.  http://news.yahoo.com/pink-floyd-stars-son-charlie-gilmore-jailed-000814834.html

Actually, when I saw he was arrested, and seeing the sentence today, I would have thought that Polly Samson had had him by Waters, not Gilmour, who is about the quietest rock star who ever lived.


his natural father is Heathcote Williams

I know - I was having a jokeWink

Right.  They were not a drug-using band.  Waters did Acid twice.  The others drank, an occasional joint.  Their classic '70s recordings are not the result of drugs. 

In the 80s Gilmour claims he was a coke fiend on the Lapse tour. 

And of course Syd, well, no time to get into that.

Some other albums I love:
Atom Heart Mother (especially the suite)
Meddle
Dark Side of the Moon (of course!)
Animals
The Wall
Ummagumma.

I remember I was about 11 when I first listened to the Floyd. In the car we had found a cassette of  The Wall, and I had been blown when I heard it. I then got Dark Side, then Wish, Atom Heart Mother, ans so on and so forth...

I have start to listen music with Wish you were here, and now it always my favorite band.

But, I clearly prefere the Barrett's period.
