Man, I'd have to go with The Dark Side of The Moon.

It is a truly iconic image. I mean it even turned up (along with Mexico) in The Simpsons, in the episode of how Marge and Homer originally got it on.

Cheers,

Mark

Meddle. If anybody else likes it, there's one by the Smashing Pumpkins called Pisces Iscariot that looks a lot like Meddle. Although it could actually be something.

Beauty isn't just skin deep anymore.

I find the artwork on the albums to be completely iconic and sentimental in its own right. However, as far as favorites go I like Wish You Were Here. People feel that Dark Side of the Moon is the best, but I just see it as a piece of rock and roll iconic history. But I feel that the artwork of Pink Floyd underneath the covers or the binding to be completely remarkable. I'd have to say one of the coolest ideas ever conceived is the scene depicted of faceless men in business suits, or the man with the large cape in the Division Bell liner notes.

I know I'm the only one, but I always thought the AMLOR cover with the endless beds was cool.

I think TDB is trippy too. I like the way it can be 2 faces looking at each other or 1 face looking ahead. Storm rules.

**cool**just got a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails bridge P'up for the ol' strat for Father's Day! BTW, Happy F-D to all youse guys who are poppas! (Probably not many, since mosta youse are 15 or 16)

Congrats on the pickup, Stratman.

Out of curiosity, how many Strats do you have?

Thanks, Shane.
I've got 3.
One is a black Squire w/ rosewood neck, white "moto" pickguard.
One is Crimson Red transparent American Deluxe W/maple neck and white pickguard. (looks like Daves-and the avatar)
One is an Olympic White Mex with a bronze "moto" pickguard and maple neck. That is the one that the hot rails is for.

BTW, Shane, did you get your black pickguard to make your Strat look "SRV" yet?

I got some black pickup covers. I'm gonna get the black knobs, black switch tip, and black tremelo arm first, before I get the pickguard.

I think the pickguard is going to be a bit of a bitch to put on... 'cause I have to take out the pickups, the switch, and the pots out, and put them all on the new pickguard. I really don't trust myself with the way the pots are put in. I'm afraid I'll screw up the washers if I mess with 'em too much.

Don't worry about it. It's really easy. Just pay attention when you take it apart. It would be hard to do it wrong.

Well, if you ask me, and I shall just pretend that you are indeed asking me, The best Pink Floyd album cover... of all time... is the cover for animals. You've got that fabulous piece of architecture that is the Battersea Power Plant, and more importantly, a floating pig. Fantastic.

This seems like a good place to ask a question.
On the "A Nice Pair" album cover it has a picture of the PF Football team. Roger is wearing a yellow jersey, everyone else is in black-and-white uniforms. Was he the manager or something? Or did he just want to stand out 'cause he's so special?
