Well, I don’t smoke pot anymore, but I still enjoy listening to Floyd a great deal. I have all my favorites on the Ipod and my pc playlist.

Thing I found out is I do not have to be high in order to ride the comet tail through the sky. Good music is just good music. I think I found that I enjoy it more sober later on in life.

It’s funny how the music one grows up with becomes the music of ones life. Nothing much of modern music reaches me on an intellectual or emotional basis these days, I think I’ve gotten old.

Animals is my favorite....Gilmour’s best album in terms of his guitar playing.

Gilmour and Wright doing Echoes in 2006....RIP Richard.

Waters is on my S-List for how he treated Rick, nothing like Gilmour and Wright doing their harmonies on the early Floyd albums.

Yep, I’d have to agree, though I enjoy his work on almost every thing he’s done, even find some worth on A Momentary Lapse of Reason which to me seemed a bit too commerical or trendy even. I particularly like the intro to Sorrow on that one.

I’ve also really enjoyed some of his more recent work such as Marooned.

He is my all time favorite gituarist. Even though there are other highly skilled guitarists that I admire, such as Lindsay Buckingham, there is something about Daivd’s sometimes bluesy, often dark, kind of let your guitar do the singing style that has always reached me. To me he is an artist and a genius.

I also enjoyed when Dave toured with Pete Townshend in the mid-80s.....of course, Pete is no slouch on guitar, but even he knew he couldn’t hold a candle to Dave.

Bingo. But as we have gotten older, we appreciate talent more. I was in the 80s a total DJ, Rap guy and although I still love old school rap more for nastalgia(hope I did not spell it wrong. I think talent comes from something deeper then just rapping or singing. It comes from inside. Roger Waters writing (when he was with Floyd) is incredible. And they just put it all together. My brother who is still a club DJ, I have told him without Pink Floyd you would not know how to Sample or Scratch or mix things together. They were doing it back in the late sixties and on. I guess we hijacked the thread. So guys Stay Safe and “OK a bit cleche” Rock on!

:) no, FRiend, it’s all fine by me. It made for great reading and remembering my own Pink Floyd experiences.
