A bit of classic Floyd

I've had a good lot for my 31 years. My one regret is I am not old enough to be in the Floyd years.

Don't make 'em like they use to

 

Would recommend the Australian Pink Floyd as a very, very good live substitute. Always touring...as close to the real thing as you will get.

You have to feel sorry for young people today they think that rap is actually music but then as everything good have already been done all that they are left with are the dregs at the bottom of the barrel.

 

lol that's no different an opinion than the older generation had when Elvis and rock and roll first popped up onto the music scene.

 

There's some excellent rap/hip-hop music out there with great beats, excellent production and very clever lyrics. Although it's arguably quite old now, some of Eminem's work is arguably genius in the way he composes his ryhmes. Lose Yourself, for instance has some incredible rhyming sequences. It's far more complicated than most people ever realise.

 

But it's fine if you don't like it. That's just personal taste. And there is some total carp out there too. However the same can be said of the music of the 60's, 70's or pretty much any decade.

 

A bit of trivia for you though. Do you know the name of one of the first main stream bands to feature rapping in one of their singles? I'm pretty much willing to bet that you like/d them. You probably had a bit of a crush on the lead singer too!

 

Answers on a postcard to . . .

 

 

I am a big Floyd fan though, at least once you go past the seriously psychadelic stuff.

Seen them twice and seeing them this sept in birmingham, an excellent show indeed!!

I'd have to say, Dark side of the moon, is the finest album ever made...by anyone.

Followed by Wish you were here and Animals.

 

Best listened to at top volume through quality headphones, whilst enjoying an aromatic cigarette.

Oh to be young again.

Never saw them, some of their tracks were ok, worked with a mate @ Nick Masons gaff years back- got a signed drumstick in the loft somewhere 😉 also sat in his F40 and gave it a dab in the throttle 😎 Proper nice bloke. He use to live on Hampstead Heath just down the road from boy George.
