Truly, Pink Floyd must be from the dark side of the wall!
I liked everything from "Dark Side of the Moon" to "The Wall". "Final Cut" and "Momentary Lapse of Reason" are okay but not the same quality IMO. I've yet to hear some of the early Syd Barrett stuff which I've always been curious about.
Gen. 1:28-31 does support that.
Waters can't seem to grasp the distinction between a wall built by a totalitarian dictatorship designed specifically to keep their slave-population IN and a wall built by a nation completely surrounded by Jihadist enemies designed specifically to keep terrorists OUT.
To quote Laura Ingrahm, "Shut up and sing."
And this is precisely why many people are so upset.
Oh my.....
OH MAN I was big Pink Floyd fan back in da day I THINK OLE Roger been hanging out with Syd Barett
Smoking chronic
Poor Roger, not having enough Jews killed seems to upset him.
Easily my favorite band, always has been, always will be.
No thanks. I never got past the Kingston Trio.
I've got to ask for the meaning here because its one I've never seen. The first thing I came up with was "I gagged and farted" and I did a spit take on my monitor.
I thought only "rednecks" believed that.
The wrong people are opposed to the wall.
I'd like to hear that stuff sometime. "Wish You Were Here" is great.
"Meddle" is an easy one to find and definitely worth a listen. Several listens. Addictive, like so much of their music. Its not as polished as "Dark Side" but not nearly as experimental as their earlier stuff (although the song "Echoes" is 23 minutes long and most of "Seamus" is sung by a dog). They just don't make music like that anymore.
At the back of my mind, when we bought our current home, I knew it won out over all other possibilities because we have a view of a power plant similar to Battersea from our front yard.
No flying pigs, though. I keep looking.
Agree completely with you on Animals, also my favorite Floyd album (guess that last word shows my age). I bet Roger considers us right-wing nuts to be the Dogs (merciless greedy capitalists) rather than the Pigs (lying, sanctimonious right-wing politicians) or Sheep (everyone else). At least we can agree on the sheep :-)
Folks, this is nothing new for him. I love his music, but his politics have always been well beyond left wing. Sadly, that's true of most of the rock bands I grew up loving - the Clash, Springsteen, etc. All full blown socialists.
The one exception? Rush - true Ayn Rand libertarians (listen to 2112 for a great Randian piece).
Yikes!
