1st time listening to Pink Floyd
Jun 11th, 2025 at 7:06pm
 
I am envious people have not heard Dark Side of the Moon.

Some people really 'go on the trip' as they listen.
Most are wrong footed on how it progresses.
Really really expert musically people are wrong footed and in the end just go with it.

I follow that second guy on YouTube.

DSOTM is an absolute classic.

I must have listened to it at least 200 times.

The first time was back in about 1975 - I listened to it through headphones and was blown away.

1st time I heard it I was about 14 years old and at my sisters place.
Could not understand it, cycled home thinking it was a stupid album the whole way.
Got home (15 kms away), got my money from my piggy bank, cycled to the local shops and bought it.

It doesn't surprise me at all.  Gen Z is a generation of self-centred,
know-it-all, smug, self-entitled cretins.  That they're unfamiliar with
some of the greatest music and musicians of the twentieth century
doesn't come as any great revelation.  They've grown up with the likes
of Justin Bieber, Jay-Z, Ed Sheeran, or Miley Cyrus.  This explains a lot LOL.

Not long ago first born asked me, dad since when has Money for Nothing been such a good song?

I said, hmm, about since I was on a year 9 excursion to Canberra pashing 'Simone' on the back seat blasting that album on the ghetto blaster.

Thanks, dad..

Pink Floyd Rocks Back To No. 1

Pink Floyd is back in charge of an albums ranking in the United Kingdom, the country where the pioneering group got its start. The band recently scored a new No. 1 album with At Pompeii - MCMLXXII, and now, a month after the set debuted, it has returned to the summit. With another moment in the spotlight, the collection becomes one of a very small number of projects from the rock outfit to rack up multiple frames atop the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart.

While Dylan claimed Woody Guthrie as his primary role model, Guthrie's lyrics were always plain-speaking and direct... 'This land is Your land, this land is My land... this land was made for you and me'... Dylan's, on the other hand, masqueraded as plain-speaking, but often he seems to have gotten ahead of himself trying to be clever and plain... ending up instead with flash wordplay and eloquent bullshit - the antithesis of Guthrie's style.

Bought DSOTM in 1974 as an 18 yr old.

Was one of the best in car travelling albums ever.

Still a great album.

Can't count how many times I have listened to it fully or certain songs over the years.

It's ageless.

Money is one of my favourites.

I have favourites of most classic rock bands.

Uriah Heep - Gypsy




Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath



Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love & Black Dog

Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Children of the Grave, Supernaut.




Deep Purple - Strange Kind of Woman



Santana - Black Magic Woman/Oye Como Va


Just a few.  Grin

Beg, borrow, or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet

And all that is now
And all that is gone

And everything under the sun is in tune (Everything)

Old Man Reminisces About The '70s When Everything Was A Brownish-Mustard Color And Smelled Like An Ashtray


Local old man Sprinty Cyclist wistfully recalled the 1970s fondly and expressed wishes that everything could go back to being the ashtray-smelling, brownish-mustard color that was indicative of the era.

"Everything is so colorful and pleasant-smelling now," Hibbert said. "It makes men weak."

Back in Hibbert's day, he said, there were only three primary colors: dark brown, burnt orange, and a light cream. Together, they melded to form a brownish-mustard motif that was not appealing to the eye in the slightest. For upper-middle-class homes, an olive green refrigerator completed the look. The colors were further muted by the heavy presence of cigarette smoke, the smell of which also filled the air. It created an environment that experts of the day have called "depressing."

The 70s were ruled by the Media attempt at being Artistic with its era of Italian TERRACOTTA inspired colourings and designs.
The Media of Music and Entertainment should have just stuck with the Music. Grin

Art Deco in the 1900s still reigns as the most 'artistic' era of that Century and the likes of Burley Griffith & Co didn't look to Southern Europe for inspiration either.

And when Roger performed at the Perth Soccer Oval in 2007, the pig was let loose and was found somewhere near City Beach the next morning (from memory)   Smiley

I was there - it was amazing.
