Wish you were here...
Just listened to this Pink Floyd tune for the first time in a long time - what an awesome song!

I just had to fire this up. Ahhhhhhhh
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl. Year after year.
I was once in a car wreck as a passenger that wrote the car off and had a good effort at killing the bridge as well. I went and bought a bottle of whiskey. Went home and put The Final Cut on. Theres a line in one of the songs "like the moments when the brakes lock and you slide towards the big drop"
Brilliant

You guys listen to the whole album of course? The first 10 minutes of that album are so damn cool.
Got me a CD copy of their next album..Animals..heard it? Great stuff
But then, i have re-discovered Pink Floyd. When i was learning the guitar, I went though phases of getting every thing certain guitarists ever did. So I have a huge PinkFloyd collection on tape and vinyl. Just this last few months I've got backinto it again, ever since seeing a Syd Barret doco in ABC. Finding it hard to track down some of the rarer ones on CD.
Anyone ever listen to Pink Floyds first album? Piper at the Gates of Dawn...? That challenges even the most open minded of tastes..

Yeah, I saw that too, really interesting. I find with the Barret stuff, I don't usually enjoy it when I first listen to it, but coming back months or years later I quite like it.Barge wrote:...ever since seeing a Syd Barret doco in ABC...
Fav Floyd albums: DSOTM and Animals. Definitely a Waters man.

mmmmm, mid career Floyd. Awesome stuff
Atom heart mother, meddle, DSOTM, wish you were here and animals.
And Gilmore is my hero I think you already knew that Goop Though in all fairness, the best of the Floyd's work was done when they were actually working together (Gilmore and Waters). i.e. the albums I listed.
Oh and the Barret stuff is quite good, though I find it hard to classify it as the Pink Floyd I love.. It's just so.. different.

Waters seemed to be the driving force after Dark Side. But he's a bitter cynical old bugger.
Anyone heard his solo stuff? Radio Chaos was chaos. Pro and Cons of Hitchhiking is a beauty, with lashings of sublime guitar work by Eric Clapton, and Amused to Death is so damn depressing i loved it. Jeff Beck played on that one....he's an alien guitarist..
The stuff the rest of them did without Waters seemed so tame and cliched to me.
Was watching Live at Pompeii DVD the other day Roger Waters is like some psycho animal when they do "Careful with that Axe, Eugene". Nice live version of "Echoes" on that DVD...
