I often think about stellar albums. The ones where they’re really isn’t a skip-able track. Off the top of my head, these come to mind: The Beach Boys Pet Sounds, Collective Soul Collective Soul (blue album), Bush 16 Stone, and Green Day Dookie. What are some of your perfect albums?

    Apparently according to Spotify I was in the top 2% of Pink Floyd listeners in 2022? I only listened for 751 minutes though, which isn’t that much. Mostly listening to The Wall on repeat.

    That’s almost 13 hours, which it’s not excessive considering the album is about 2 hours long but still shows how much you like it :)

    There is a movie that goes along with The Wall, of you didn’t know. I think that it kind of narrows the ability of people to interpret the songs in their own way but it’s still excellent. It’s part love action part animated. If you haven’t seen the hand drawn animation that goes along with Goodbye Blue Sky and The Trial, you should definitely check it out. It’s absolutely insane.

    Actually the animation part of The Trial is the only thing I know of the movie, lol. Creepy yet beautiful

    I saw The Wall Live in like 2011/2012 and it was an incredible show. The 40 foot puppets torturing Pink were awesome. The mom puppet appears in the song Mother and her eyes glow red, the words “big mother is watching you” splays across the wall set as her head swivels back and forth over the crowd…

    Ok that I have to see it. I’ll see if I can find it.

    Listen to Wish You Were Here! It’s generally about the loss of their dear friend and band founder Syd Barrett, a musical visionary lost to the challenges of schizophrenia/the origins of the band. It’s very very good. Some of David’s best guitar is in the Shine On You Crazy Diamond songs.

    Will do!
