Page 1 of Pink Floyds `Wish You Were Here` album......WoW!!!

Just listening to Pink Floyds `Wish You Were Here` album for the millionth time this week!! What an album! I can`t stop listening to it. I`ve only heard `Dark Side Of The Moon` and `The Wall` and...to be honest...found them over-rated. I haven`t really been a Floyd fan but this album is going to sway me...........

I just know it!!!!!!

The Wall is pretty overrated, but then I dont really get down with a lot of their driving music for accountants stuff.

Give me Meddle or Umma Gumma anyday.

But, yes, Wish You Were Here is an almost transcendentally perfect album. When they played the title track at live 8 I cried tears of pure manliness.

is this the one with two flaming geezers on the front, and welcome to the machine on it...?

if so. good stuff.

Yup

Ste

i have the vinyl with all the original gubbins in it..
somewhere.. probably covered in tobacco and roaches.

I`m off to see Think Floyd tonight do complete renditions of Wish You Were Here and Dark Side Of The Moon...

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

Anyone else seen Shine On, a tribute band?

They are excellent with a very Gilmourish guitarist :D

I like:
Echoes
Cirrus Minor
Careful with that Axe Eugene
Pompeii - Film
Most of the stuff with Barrett.

Also, like The Wall, Wish you were here, Animals and DSOTM.

Perhaps my favourite track if pushed would have to be, See Emily Play :D

Errm have you heard and read the lyrics to In The Flesh part 2 and Waiting for the Worms? Hardly driving music for accountants. Part one of The Wall is pretty solid unlike Part 2 where it has it misses such as Bring the Boys Back Home, and Vera Lynn, but th the rest are classic.

Animals is also very good, with songs such as Pig on a Wing part 1 and 2, try and get the bootleg version where the two parts are joined together with a great guitar solo by Snowy White.

They only went bland when Waters left, and Gilmore took over, Laps of Reason and Division Bell are in my mind very poor compare to Water`s Pink Floyd albums from the 70s, and the inventive lyrics of Syd Barrett.

Also my personal fave is just after Barret`s departure, and was for the movie Zabriskie Point, and it was called Come in number 51 your time has come, I just can`t stop playing this, and fits well with the movie`s ending.
