Well, today was the first time I'd really listened to them. They (the original lineup!) played in the Live 8 concert today, which was on MTV today. Their songs impressed me. I especially liked "Wish You Were Here" and "Comfortably Numb". Quality stuff.
I heard they were gonna play and I missed it!! I have the box set of their CD's... You should borrow them sometime or I can burn them for you. They're amazing. Classic!!
Yeah, Shin, definitely borrow some CDs. Start off with Dark Side of the Moon, then the Wall, then Wish You Were Here, then Animals. That's my suggestion for listening order.
I'm so glad that they got back together for this one concert, probably going to be the only one too. And yes, Pink Floyd is absolutely amazing. The guitarist, David Gilmour, unlike most guitarists, does not rely on speed for his solos, he uses bends to stretch out and place emphasis on all the right notes, making some of the most emotional solos I have ever heard in my life. I'm just sad that I only got to see one Pink Floyd song. I hope this all comes out on DVD.
