Yeah nowadays they seem to be churning out bland corporate rock (or
should that be corpulent rock judging by recent pics <g>) neatly
packaged by their music company for the post 30 year old so called
rock music fans (oops i'm post 30) all spark of creativity seems to
have vanished since RW left.

'Animals' was the first Floyd album i ever heard...Alan Freeman
(alright?) played 'Sheep' on his saturday afternoon rockshow and i
was totally blown away......i went out and bought the album next day.

Any floyd fans yearning for the good old days should check out a band
called Porcupine Tree, their last two albums in particular 'The Sky
moves Sideways' and 'Signify' great stuff....
