Debbie Harry on vocals.
Jimmy Page on guitar.
Richard Wright on keyboards.
Aphex Twin on beats.
And Lee Scratch Perry on general vibes.
A mixture so wrong that it must be right.

@Thodsis Jimmy Page and Richard Wright are both brilliant.

@helenS I love those albums. Pink Floyd were at their best in the early days. Not that there's anything wrong with "The Dark Side Of The Moon", I love that album. It's just that the older ones were better in my opinion.

@Bewilderbeeste There was a concert by "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets" in Berlin, last year, and it was fantastic. I enjoyed that so very much.
Yes I agree, their output up to and including the "Meddle" album was excellent; I never payed much attention to the stuff they released after Meddle.
"Animals" is quite good though. "The Wall" is an embarrassment to music...

@helenS I wouldn't say "The Wall" is an embarrassment, I just need to be in the right mood for it. I admit it's not their best but I bought it anyway because it's a Pink Floyd album.

@Bewilderbeeste You're a big fan! 😏
It may be a generational thing, when I started listening to "pop" music, none of my peers were interested in the Floyd. I was the only one, maybe because I was a classical music girl?

@helenS I've liked Pink Floyd since I was just 12, when they had those early hit singles "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play". The best "pop" group was the Beatles (I've loved them since I was only 7), and look how they evolved in just five years. By the time I was 12 they'd got the "Sergeant Pepper" album at the top of the charts. The next band I started to follow with a passion after the Beatles was The Who. I got into them at about 10, then when I was 12 I started to like the psychedelic sounds of Traffic and early Pink Floyd. I still listen to all this stuff and I'm 68 now.

@Bewilderbeeste Two bands from the 1970s I enjoy listening to are "Genesis" (with Peter Gabriel, lead voice, and Steve Hackett on lead guitar) and "Yes" with Steve Howe and Rick Wakeman on keyboards.
High-quality stuff!

@helenS I love Yes. Genesis were at their best with Peter Gabriel.

@Bewilderbeeste Never again has rock music, as a genre, produced anything on that level, in my opinion. But that's only me, of course.
Bewilderbeeste · 70-79, M
@helenS I agree. The classic rock period was the late 1960s and early 1970s.

@Bewilderbeeste Rock music is dead now. See here, for example:

@helenS Most of today's music means absolutely nothing to me. I still listen to old rock music because it's proper music played by real musicians.
