Or do you just have fond memories of your older brother's cool mate playing it as you smoked your first ever spliff in some suburban semi? 🙄

But I do understand them – they're just s**t.

you won't understand pink floyd unless you spent your teenage years smoking lots of dope in your mates bedroom & thinking this is the coolest thing ever. Then you grow up and realise it's fairly dull.

Then you grow up and realise it's fairly dull, but have the flash backs to help you remember just how dull.

LSD was the required drug if you wanted to "get" Pink Floyd.
