Bah.... Cliche Pink Floyd... Most people in the world think Pink Floyd only made two albums: Darkside of the Moon and The Wall.....
Kinda sad imho.. There's stuff they've done that is so much better than those two over played, over worked, and over payed albums..
Funny how most Pink "Fans" you talk to have no clue that albums such as The Final Cut or Atom Heart Mother even exist....
I'll take Interstellar Overdrive or Careful with that Axe Eugene over Breathe any day.....
I'm so so so so sick of the typical Pink Floyd play list that just about all radio stations have...
Another Brick in the Wall, Money, Time, Comfortably Numb, Wish you were Here.... All great songs, but overplayed to death....

RIP Richard Wright....Keep playing those keys at The Great Gig in the Sky, brotha! :rock
Oh Yeah...I almost forgot...

You can decided for yourself the Floyd era you like best. Kinda hard for me to look down my nose at any of their work no matter how played out.
Speaking of down the nose...I always am amused by this interview. Syd and Roger and a giant D-bag. Watch their faces when his 1st mentions growing up in a string quartet...Classic.
enjoy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs-tSn-T5TQ

That interview is a rare one, because it was right before Syd's experimentation of LSD. IIRC, that show was "Look of the Week", exactly, it didn't last long.

Useless trivia time:
ABITW Part II: David Gilmour used a Les Paul on the 2nd solo. He also did it on the LP, plugged straight into the desk on the first take. No touch ups, additional mixing, nothing.
Most people that listen to Pink Floyd do not even realize one little known fact about "Comfortably Numb". He wasn't the only guitarist playing. The Acoustic guitar you hear, is not Roger (as most would suspect, or David himself), instead Lee Ritenour is using a "Nashville tuned" acoustic. It is also a "complete solo" derived from five different "solos, whipped out in short order."
Some will say Comfortably Numb is a "drug song", but it isn't. Roger had a bad case of stomach cramps in Philly on the 77 Tour. He still wanted to play and asked the doctor "is there anything I can take, but still play?" He was given tranquilizers and played the entire show and could barely move.
Pink Floyd while hated by a lot of bands, actually pissed off Columbia and EMI by not releasing a Single for almost 8 years.
Here's another little known fact. A Momentary Lapse of Reason was recorded with David used a Strat on two songs (Learning to Fly and Terminal Frost). David used a Steinberger GL on the rest, save him using the same Les Paul on "Round and Round".
But to call Dark Side of the Moon "cliche" is pretty much pointless. It's themes are still at the forefront today. My guess is most don't even understand what the significance of that record. I like all of Floyd's work. I prefer the 70-75 years, but still love it all. I can rarely listen to the Studio version of "The Wall" anymore. I mostly listen to "Is There Anybody Out There?" instead.

:aok Yup.
Nice to hear another guitar style like Clapton's in Roger's midst.

I do like it, I just refuse to watch his shows again after seeing him lip sync "Every Stranger's Eyes" in 99. It's a shame that he resorts to that, instead of actually choosing songs he can still sing.
