I have a newfound healthy respect for you folks. You've brought a tear to my eye!

I don't think any of you can remember, though, when these albums were originally released. I can.

I remember standing in Organic Chem lab as a fellow I can only recall now as John told another fellow across the aisle from us, pulling the Dark Side of the Moon album from his backpack, "You don't have a record collection if you don't own this." Of course, we all just called it Prism back then.

I still find myself sometimes, while driving home from work, hearing in my head:

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

I also remember the release of Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall during my college days. Man, you guys brought back memories. I remember four of us falling out in my friend's room one afternoon. He had a Harmon Kardon amp, Soundcraftsman pre-amp, and Altec Lansing Voice of the Theatre speakers. His room was about 10 x 12. We fell asleep with Prism on the turntable (Dual), playing LOUD. On the Run ends in a kind of mellow way and there's a long pause before the next song. You should have seen the four of us jump about six feet in the air when Time started. If you know the song, you know why.

Yeah, Floyd was a big part of my youth. Thanks so much for the wonderful diversion this hectic, frustrating Friday afternoon.

Just remember, you got to keep the loonies on the path.

Wish You Were Here is probably one of my favorite songs of all times.

It is, the entire album is brilliant.
It's one of the three best albums ever released (out of the ones I've heard so far anyway), the other two being Genesis' Selling England By The Pound and Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath.

I don't think my parents were even in a relationship when those albums were released so no, I can't really remember. Smiley: lol

No argument here. But, surely you've listened to Led Zeppelin II?

I was only born in 1983, by which time Roger Waters had become an total a-hole and tried to destroy the band he'd been part of. Luckily, David Gilmour continued being an endlessly talented man of awesome and Pink Floyd kept on going. I'm largely rediscovering them at the moment after not having listened to them for a few years. A friend of mine in high school introduced me to some of their albums, which triggered an obsessive collecting frenzy in the two of us. We were also the only people we were aware of (of our generation) who knew who or what the hell "a Pink Floyd is".

Like an infant coming to learn of their own presence among a broader family scale, it was like a widening of the world for me. While the members of Pink Floyd were showing us the extent of what humans could really create, almost to a superhuman level, he and I were investigating how many days we could survive without sleep, or for how many days only hotdogs and two minute noodles could be consumed before something went wrong. So, that, along with other music and literature interests, really created an intimate kind of hetero bromance between us. Like a Han Solo/Chewbacca or Samwise/Frodo thing.

Long story short; he was killed in a car accident about two years ago, which made me completely avoid certain musicians or movies for a long time. It didn't make sense to listen to/watch these things. Not only because they would make me remember things but because the entire point behind these things, the sharing of them together, wasn't possible. I've since had the album The Wall on my iPod for a couple of months now and that blew me away all over again. I relistened to Dark Side of the Moon recently and basically had my brain ****** from it. I plan to go back earlier to Atom Heart Mother and, my favourite album, Meddle pretty soon (and then reabsorb them all).

Listening to it all is still a nice reminder. While some people are incompetent on an epic enough scale to fall asleep behind the wheel and kill someone, others are managing to compose music that's so impossibly good that it's hard to believe it wasn't actually made in somewhere like Asgard or Heaven, rather than planet Earth.

I have, but those three albums I can listen to anytime no matter what. I love Zeppelin but I love those 3 albums even more.

God man, I just woke up! Did you really have to do that to me?? =(

Edit: Just listened to Latrine trying to cover Chop Suey too, I think I'm just going back to bed now. I have a headache.

Nothing wrong with loving a 50 year old. Although there is a point where the risk of hip injury gets too great.

When I think GILF, I don't think 50-year-olds.

Edit: On second thought, I guess GILFs are alright.

I've always wanted to come between a girl and her mother.

By age, I can too; however, a couple of the associated parties are a little fuzzy in the memory.

You're trying to make me feel positively superannuated, aren't you? You're younger than three of the daughters and it might be close on the fourth. Thbbbbtttt!

Hey, I grant that 50 was awhile ago, but this is just kicking Rhode when he's down!

Awww. :(
But in all seriousness, there's really no reason for you to feel old. And it's so tempting to tease you if you react like this ;)
