| Re: Wish You Were Here - My Favourite Pink floyd Album My favorite Pink floyd album is
WISH YOU WERE HERE, which I think is their best, and one of the best albums of the 1970's,
together with albums like Foxtrot,Lizard,
Thick as a Brick,Aqualung,Led Zeppelin IV,
Selling england by the pound,
songs from the wood, and of course DSOTM, Meddle and Atom Heart Mother.
I will try to explain why this is my favourite album,and I ask of you to do the same with your Favourite Pink Floyd album,and PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK on what I wrote on
Wish You Were Here.
well on WYWH, a single riff or chord can express feelings that cannot be explained in a thousand words, and you can just feel the music, and how it was composed and the sheer
and pure energy and melody that flow from the music is amazing!
You can feel, as I said, just by listening,
how step by step the music was created, or instead, you can forget this process and feel
the out come in no way other Pink Floyd album
can.
The Beautiful Guitar on Dhine on you crazy Diamond,How it develops slowly, bit by bit, you can lie down on a shabat/Sunday afternoon(depends if you are American/canadian/british or Israelian)
and listen peacefully, until it grows to the lyrics "remember when you where young, You shone Like the Sun!"
and the mellow and solid Saxsophone after word gives it the atmostphere it should into my least favourite but still beloved track
"Welcome to the machine" Poor young syd must have had it hard when he was young,hasn't he?
or maybe It's just a Roger's fantasy? I admit I don't know. But I has Its own rebelious and depresive Spirit.
Afterwards there is "Have a Cigar", and yes,
one agent actualy asked the band "Which one is pink?" :smile:
Great Song indeed, and the pass into wish you were is one of the best in rock music history, together with the one from the Beatles white album(from Bunglow Bill to While my Guitar Gently weeps).
Then the Title song, simple with an acoustic
Guitar, and great Lyrics. than Phase 2 of shine on, a man awakes, then he understands
how much everything is wrong, than he tries to do something, then he just flows with the
flow...
This is one of the masterpieces of the 20th centuary music, together with the albums I Mentioned before, Plus In the court of the crimson King(1969),Tommy(1969),Brothers in Arms(1985),Abbey road, magical Mystery Tour,
sgt.Pepper,white album,Saucerful of secrets
and some more.
so please tell me what you think of what I wrote, and also share some of your thoughts
about your Favourite Pink Floyd Album.
