I slapped that baby up on my bedroom wall and felt as if I was perhaps the coolest 11 year old kid in town. I had it facing outward so you could see the band members, not the pyramid side which I thought was rather dull. These were the guys who were all over the radio with 'Money' at the time and I listened to that album over and over and over again until I swear you could see through the vinyl like a circle of sheer gauze.
Anyway... as the years went by I devoured everything I could get my hands on by Pink Floyd. From "Umma Gumma", "Atom Heart Mother" and "Meddle" to "Animals", "Wish you Were Here" and of course, the single most explosive album of my senior year, "The Wall".
Please enjoy this small tribute to the band that taught me to really listen, and paved the way for other bands like RUSH, Queensr˙che, and others who go a bit deeper than just the suface level.
