Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

There are two rules in our household, when it comes to music anyway; 1/. No 70s disco music (Me) and 2/. No Nirvana or Pink Floyd (Her). On the face of it this might seem a little unfair. A bit lopsided perhaps - how on earth can you ban all Pink Floyd records when there isn't a single decent disco track! The rule is well observed though and the fact that it has taken me a month to play a Pink Floyd album is testament to that.
I did get to see Pink Floyd once, albeit in their post Roger Waters phase, in Earls Court in London. Just getting to the event was nearly as memorable as the concert itself, but I'll save that for another blog.
'Wish You Were Here' is probably one of the finest rock albums ever recorded - and contains perhaps the closest a white, middle class rock band has ever come to a boogie. Quite apt considering it was released in 1975. Don't believe me? Check out the passage between 7:00min and 9:00 min on 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part Two)'. It also contains the finest Pink Floyd song in the title track.
Blimey, I can hear footsteps coming up the garden path - better get the Floyd out of the CD player and back on the shelf or I'll have to suffer a night of disco!
