Darkside of the Moon changed my life as a young kid.
Yes mine too. It takes you places!! If you can, use black lights and real comfy chairs when you listen high.

To this day if i close my eyes when a song from that album is in the radio, it takes me right back to summer of 86 OH MY !!

The Live 8 performance gave me the fockin CHILLZ.

This was the first rock band I was introduced to, with DSotM, I can't imagine life without my father spinning that vinyl for me. The cover art that got me asking him "what's up with this, I like how this looks" before that I wasn't into much more than Disney Soundtracks and Top40 radio.

Forever altered my musical taste, the first of many times.

Rick Wright has died of cancer:

The Press Association: Pink Floyd member Wright dies at 65

PINK FLOYD - PINK FLOYD FOUNDER RICHARD WRIGHT DIES OF CANCER

PINK FLOYD - PINK FLOYD'S WRIGHT DIES

Am I the only one who seriously hates David Gilmour right now for mouthing off constant "fuck you's" to Waters, Mason, and Wright when all three have badly wanted to give PF one more go since '05? I recently discovered why so many Waters, Wright, Mason, and Barrett fans hate Gilmour when I read this shit:
PINK FLOYD - GILMOUR: 'FLOYD WERE RUBBISH'

And now I guarantee you that Gilmour's response to this will be "who?"





I'd personally like to send my prayers and well-wishes to the Wright family, and I hope Wright makes a grand addition to that Great Gig in the Sky God and the angels have been and continue to be entertained with.

RIP Rick Wright.

And don't hate on Gilmour, he doesn't even actually say PF was rubbish in the article, just that they weren't as talented as blues players. Waters refused to play with the 3 of them for 18 years before "wanting to get back together" so badly the last 3 years.....

Maybe this will be enough motivation to just do it, for the rest of them!

If they went on the road with 'The Wall' they'ed make a billion!

Why shouldn't I hate on Gilmour for being an ass? Waters wanted to make up with them. He and wright not only made up, but became very close. Mason was almost too quick to forgive Waters, and all three have been itching for a reunion ever since. Gilmour, on the other hands, continues to remain distanced from Waters, disses Floyd... and now Wright is dead.

I certainly hope not. There is no Floyd w/o Wright, IMO.

At 48 years old, my addictions are various things, which I choose & relish. I can even act normal... but after awhile, I have to have a shot of Floyd to fix the addition. Wish You Were Here is to be played at my funeral. Top pick LP's, Wish You Were Here & The Wall, won't & don't have to make a choice. Several years ago, PF allowed others to record their songs. Brian Adams done the "I want a dirty woman" song. The Dude done well. Anybody know the LP of these PF songs?

Young Lust is the name of that song.

If you haven't watched The Wall, that is an experience. I can't say I love it but it is intriguing. But the MUST HAVE Pink Floyd visual experience is the Live at Pompeii film. WOW!!! I love it, love it, love it.
