I can agree with that. "The Gunner's Dream" is my favorite from that album, too.

If anyone thinks that having a father is unimportant, just look at Roger. He's going to go to his grave with unresolved issues.

I love Pink Floyd but Waters is just a prick.

I think that the vast majority of PF fans would agree.

[ClearCase_guy]

That’s a good point. I happen to think Roger is a complete jerk — but in fairness, the Nazis killed his father right after Roger was born, and he’s just never gotten over that. It’s very sad.

I don’t count Final Cut as true Floyd album I hear that Roger wasn’t really get long with David Gilmour to the end

[SevenofNine]

OH you thinking of Rick Wright he died of cancer

[nickcarraway]

I can’t listen. I heard a few seconds of that music and it gave me a headache.

[Norm Lenhart]

Maybe it’s one of those ‘of the times’ things with the Reagan/Soviet things in the news at the time. I was never a huge Floyd fan to begin with, but back then, Final Cut, when I heard it (mid-late 80s) just clicked for me.

If I were to have heard it on release, I doubt it would have made any impact on me at all. Their early stuff I never liked at all. and The Wall was an interesting movie soundtrack. Darkside had it’s moments but is more a technical curiosity for me as a hobbyist musician since it regularly is referenced as one of the best recorded/engineered albums.

And the man comes on the radio
He’s tellin’ me more and more
About some useless information

Hey Waters!

All in all you’re just another brick in the wall.

I divested my Pink Floyd recordings decades ago. They are not missed.

The lunatic has his head up his aaahhhhss.

[usconservative]

Sigh, I used to be such a huge fan of Pink Floyd .... lost complete respect for the band interjecting themselves in Politics.

And I thought Metallica was bad for the whole Napster thing......

[blam]

Where's me some Pink Floyd?

[Heart-Rest]

The Rolling Stones replied...

• "I'm Free"

• "You Can't Always Get What You Want"

• "Wild Horses"

• "Get Off My Cloud"

• "Play With Fire"

• "Off The Hook"

(It is rumored that the Rolling Stones also have a song titled "On With The Show", although that one may be just a tad off-topic...)
