Breathe. Breathe in the air. Don't be afraid to care.
Listening to the live Dark Sideof the Moon -

does it get any better than Pink Floyd?

I think even if one does not like Floyd, one has to admit that they are the gods of rock, the guys who sit at the top of the mountain, with A Bigness, A Vastness, An Over-The-Topness, An Authority, that no other band even comes close to touching.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, if rock bands were comic book characters, Pink Floyd would be Galactus.

1. Apparently no Pink Floyd fans in the afternoon Lounge crew
Sad.

Perhaps the early evening crew will bite.

2. Not a fan myself
(except for "Piper" of course-- just like all the other music snobs around here)

3. You speak truly Rabrrrrr
Gosh, I hope I used the right number of "r"s.

Floyd is one of those bands I can never get sick of - I hear new things in the music every time. It's Perfection.

4. Nope, you missed one
But it's okay.

:-)

I can listen to them over and over and over. And do! I especially love the bootleg recordings of the songs off Animals I have, including a number of early versions of the songs before they did the album.

A fucking incredible band.

9. Well, this is a revelation that leaves me...
...unsurprised.

:spank:

I am with you - that's my favorite album. But even better than the album are all the fucking INCREDIBLE concert versions of the songs from that album. I have some bootlegs of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" that are fucking unbelievable, filled with WALLS of distorted Gilmour kicking everyone's ass with solos of noise, way longer than the album.

14. I have some that are bought, most from kazaa
But I think that everything that I've gotten from kazaa is available as a bought bootleg.

Sadly, Floyd is not a band that has allowed their stuff to be listed on the Live Music Archive http://www.archive.org/audio/etree.php

Bummers.

12. That's one of his best solos, in my view
Apparently his favorite version of it got erased by some accident with the tapes in the studio.

13. I fell in love with them in my 30's
Maybe a certain amount of maturity is required.

I don't get those that don't get it.
