Pink Floyd followed the commercial breakthrough of Dark Side of the Moon with Wish You Were Here, a loose concept album about and dedicated to their founding member Syd Barrett. The record unfolds gradually, as the jazzy textures of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" reveal its melodic motif, and in its leisurely pace, the album shows itself to be a warmer record than its predecessor. Musically, it's arguably even more impressive, showcasing the group's interplay and David Gilmour's solos in particular. And while it's short on actual songs, the long, winding soundscapes are constantly enthralling.
This is the one for me. I love everything about it. The fact that it is a dedication to a wayward friend and comrade, it's broad musical range that joined blues and rock with modern synth music and pop, there's even some funky stuff!I love the cover art by the Hypgnosis team of graphic artists that the Floyd employed during this period. The photo of the diver and the surrealism of the Mono Lake...

Just wondering...Is there a better song than this for a broken heart, or remembering someone you love or cared about, or maybe just when missing old times and old friends? I don't know? This song just gets to me on so many levels and is obviously so timeless, and yet so simple and straightforward, unlike most of their effect layden music. If there was any downside to it, it would be that the...

the pain is the same as it ever was.*MUTHA FUCK YOU*So, so you think you can tellHeaven from Hell,Blue skys from pain.Can you tell a green fieldFrom a cold steel rail?A smile from a veil?Do you think you can tell?And did they get you to tradeYour heros for ghosts?Hot ashes for trees?Hot air for a cool breeze?Cold comfort for change?And did you exchangeA walk on part in the warFor a lead role in...

On January 27, 1967, Apollo 1's crew -- Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Edward H. White II and Roger B. Chaffee -- was killed when a fire erupted in their capsule during testing. Apollo 1 was originally designated AS-204 but following the fire, the astronauts' widows requested that the mission be remembered as Apollo 1 and following missions would be numbered subsequent to the flight that never made i...

When asked to choose an outstanding David Gilmour solo, many people would choose the one on Comfortably Numb. If memory serves, it even ranked near, or at, the top of a couple of different polls about the greatest guitar solos of all time.For me, I'll take his intro to Shine On as a better example of the soloist's art.If a solo is a conversation between the soloist and the rest of the band, th...

Have a CigarCome in here, Dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far, You're gonna fly high, You're never gonna die, You're gonna make it, if you try; They're gonna love you. Well I've always had a deep respect, And I mean that most sincere. The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. Oh by the way, which one's Pink? And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We ca...

Which one, indeed? Certainly not the four who remained. They existed because of Pink, and he continued to exist vcariously through them. This album is the Floyd at their absolute peak creatively. The lyrics are living here, living their life from the beginning of Pink until now. It's like this was their moment, they knew it, and they absolutely killed it. The birth of space prog, that's w...

Damn...when everything about a day that possibly could go wrong DOES go wrong, and all you wish you could do is talk to your best friend who happened to blow his head off going on 3 years ago, things aren't exactly looking up, are they? Scott Zarek, wherever you are, this tune goes out to you.

So I guess I wandered to mog slightly confused. I feel like I'm some watcher now. It's kind of creepy. I just look at profiles when I have the time. Haven't made any comments, because the computer I'm on speeds up the audio and makes the music sound like an Alvin and the Chipmunks cartoon and I can't tell my like or dislike. Since I'm a wordy guy, I probably won't post much music on here, ...
