Why do these guys get so much RP airplay when all sound they like is a rehash of 80's Yes?

Humanoids? Well, at least we've finally figured out just exactly who constitute the bulk of Floyd fandom.

If I hear "Wish You Were Here" one more time, I will plotz. Never thought that would become a "button" song (ie, makes me reach for the "off" button) but there ya go.

Say WHAT ??? When the last humanoid on earth talks of Pink Floyd in endearing
tones, PT will have long been a lost memory. While I like PT , they just don't have
the genius of invention, creation, attraction, pioneering, and a merge of their music with
the minds of hundreds of millions of music loves all over the globe. PF is an institution and
a damn hard act  to follow .. So I'm giving your critique a 1, if you repent and purge yourself
of heresy there may be hope for you —-The gods of music are forgiving but their tolerance 
wears thin when words of a heathen smack like a kick to the shins. REPENT  I TELL YOU @!!{#Meditate}

One can hear a lot of influences in PT's music, but ultimately, they have forged their own unique sound.  Great stuff.

Prodigal definitely has a bittersweet edge to it   {#Yes}    (My fav used to always be Gravity Eyelids, but you know how favorites shift and shimmy). The guitar in this one is SO good...

There's a common theme to some of PT's music:  nostalgia — a celebration of a life well lived.

Personally I dont get this band. It's an ok band, I actually got this and another one of their CD's (cant remember which one) and I've tried to do the "listen 20 times in a row and you'll get it" but no...to me there's something uhmmm..lame..about them. Maybe its the singer.

I KNOW this is my favorite PT album. Although they are all good, some are great, some are greater, and one is the best.

And this is the best. Seminal work.{#High-five}
