For some reason "Vera" was the song where it finally clicked for me and I really enjoyed Pink Floyd. I'm not sure what it was about that one, but that made The Wall flow for me and made me want more.

The song, IMO, juxtaposes the promise of happiness made by the system, as voiced by Vera Lynn, with the hollow existence of thre post war generation.

Pink Floyd rules. I must've gone to Laser Floyd at the old Hansen Planetarium 20 times in high school. Dark Side of the Moon, Wish you were here, and The Wall, are all some of my favorite albums. David Gilmour is one of the most underrated guitarists of all time (his second guitar solo in Comfortably Numb is probably my favorite ever).
I never liked Syd Barrett's version of Pink Floyd - too weird, too psychadelic, too sixties. But of course, even though he left the band, his influence never did. I hope he's at peace now. |

I was on a business trip last week, stuck without music. The day before I had heard "On the Turning Away" on the radio so I needed some more Pink Floyd. I came across this online and thought it might interest people here. It's David Gilmour with his current touring band and "Comfortably Numb" stuck out to me. http://music.aol.com/videos/sessions/sessions_flash.adp?defaultCovers=563,502,508&defau ltID=563
