| Question about the final cut for 'older' fans I was just 3 when TFC came out... I was wondering, did ANY of the tunes off that album get any radio play at all? I have never heard a song from that album on radio EVER. Just wondering... Thanks! PS. Sorry, I did not mean to call you 'older' but I needed a response from a person out of diapers in the early/mid 80's!

| Re: Question about the final cut for 'older' fans Two Suns in the Sunset got a bit of airtime in my neck of the woods (Chicago) at the time.. But, I was primarily listening to album rock FM stations..

| Re: Question about the final cut for 'older' fans Different time period, but where I live there is a weekly hour long show dedicated to the Floyd, and they play tracks from the final cut.

| Re: Question about the final cut for 'older' fans I wasn't a big Floyd fan until the late 80's. Even so, I did listen to the radio a lot and never heard any tracks from The Final Cut.

| Re: Question about the final cut for 'older' fans Not Now John was played a bunch here in Detroit. I saw the single in the local record store at the time, but passed on buying it because it was the "obscured" version (the radio version-no swearing). I remember thinking that they can't release any more singles because there weren't any other "rock" songs on the album. I was so much younger then... |

As far as original material yes. The Division Bell was released in 1994. Many people hate it, but I think it is only due to their lolalty to Waters, and that he is not on that album. It is actually a great album, one of my personal faves, alonh with The Final Cut and Animals.

| Re: Question about the final cut for 'older' fans If you believe the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, which is supposed to be compiled based on the total weekly number of radio plays nationwide, a few tracks from the album did pretty well indeed. In 1983, "Not Now John" reached #7, "Your Possible Pasts" hit #8 and "The Hero's Return" even scraped in at #31.

Good, I appreciate these facts. It makes me feel good that this album was not totally ignored by radio. Wouldn't you agree that it is quite brilliant?
