It is perfectly ok. I have been listening to Floyd for close to 25 years now & I am 40 now. There is so much melancholy in their music. It can really touch the soul & kinda detach u from the day to day humdrum of life. Their earlier albums were less mundane & more universal. U could listen to it without any social attachments or bearing to our day to day life. However over the years as the character of music & the fans changed mainly due to social changes in our society music too had to deal with human complexities, relationship conflics/love/hate/sex & so on.
Floyd too for economic reasons & survival had to choose this path & their albums too started to deal with society...eg The Wall/Dark Side of the Moon etc.. The band also split & partly regrouped. The 2 main forces Roger Waters & Dave Gilmour had personality conflicts & had to break-up. Waters went his way & made solo albums which had good lyrical value but below average in its music content. Gilmour tried to regroup the other members of the parent band & made 2 albums under the floyd banner. It was very rich in music but average in lyrical value.
I can suggest u a compilation of floyd which u may listen & give yr opinion.
1. Echoes, 2. Shine on u crazy diamond I & II, 3. Comfortably numb, 4. Pigs on the wing (all parts), 5. Astronomy Domine 6. Set the controls for the heart of the sun. 7. Arnold Layne, 8. Wish u were here, 9. Run like Hell, 10. Cymbaline, 11. Obscured by thr Clouds, 12. One of these days/Pillow of Winds/Fearless, 13. Mudmen, 14. saucerful of Secrets, 15. If, 16. Atom Heart Mother, 17. See Emily Play, 18. Careful with that Axe, 19. Burning Bridges, 20. Speak to me, 21. Breathe, 22. Us n Them, 23. Brain Damage/Eclipse, 24. 2 suns in the sunset
Happy listening......Kannan
