One of Pink Floyd's better albums, if not their best, this is one long extravagant elegy to former bandmate and lead singer Syd Barrett.
Some notable tracks:
"Shine on You Crazy Diamond", a multi-part rock opus that is quintessential Pink Floyd
"Welcome to the Machine", a cynical view of the rock industry ('cause Waters is good at that)
"Wish You Were Here", great lyrics... read more

A Deeper Meaning to Music (8 music items)

"My all time favorite Pink Floyd album, and it's hard to say something that hasn't already been said about it. I always thought the 'crazy diamond' was someone that had the visions, and seen things as they are and didn't last forever. There's really a crazy diamond around us all. You reached for the secret too soon, You cried for the moon. Shine on you crazy diamond. Threatened by shadows at night, And exposed in the light. Shine on you crazy diamond. Well you wore out your welcome Wi"

It's like I said about Jimi Hendrix, and your imagination being endless if you allow it to be. I wanted to play the synth on Have a Cigar on my guitar when I first heard it. While I'm not a big fan of Heavy Metal, I have to say Shadows Fall did one amazing cover of Welcome to the Machine, (hands down the BEST cover I have ever heard of a Pink Fl"
