Err, Pink Floyd?? with Syd briliant, without? boring, MOR and bland and most certainly not a rock band, music to fall asleep to with yer hippy mates :)

Bit of an early Floyd fan myself, I was about 5 or 6 when my Mum and Dad came back from Makro with the Relics (early compilation album) and after having never heard anything much except Tom Jones and suchlike it was an eyeopener to say the least. The next trip to Makro saw them return with an early T rex compilation and that was when my interest in Music began. Some 18 years later my band did a gig with John Peel and all we asked him about was Marc Bolan (very interesting tales) Funny how early music experiences change and shape your future. Liked all the Floyd stuff up to and including The Wall but found it dull after then when Roger Waters had left. Would not even see them for free without him.

I have always liked PF, saw them live at Leeds uni which was an excellent gig and the Roger Waters 'in the flesh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Flesh:_Live)' 2 cd set is excellent too. He uses a few musicians that Eric Clapton tours with and has on his albums too.
