He's an old hippie

should he hang on to the old
should he grab on to the new
he's an old hippie
his new life is just a bust

Well, I've revisted this thread, and I have to say. Pink Floyd really does rock. If any of you have ever listened to the early live stuff (66-67), it's pretty interesting. Right on the front lines of rock for that time. No breaks in music, just solid rocking.
And they've continued through the years to have a major impact in music and performances throughout the world. They pushed concept albums to the next level, even beyond that of the Beatles and the Who. Their ability to write, perform, and display the music in multiple formats goes farther and more details than almost any other performers.
By the way, the Wall album came out before the Movie was put together. That's why some of the samples/songs don't exactly mesh up between the two.
Anyways, they've sold over 150 million albums. They continue to sell over a million a year yet today. Over 8,000 Dark Side of the Moon Albums are sold each week just in the US. They did something right.
