Pink Floyd is my entry to this race to the bottom 🙂
When I was 16, 17 and 18 I was about rock. The kind with long hair. This was in the late 80s very early 90s. I was a huge Queen fan, but listened to quite a wide variety of music. A friend at school was a Pink Floyd fan – a huge fan, and a good friend but I really never “got” the music (this was already a while after much of it was released). Forward on maybe 10 years and I stumbled across them again in a dimly lit appartment in the French Alps and it was quite a revelation.
I’m not a “fan” as such now because I still think there’s a few frogs to kiss before you get the prince (and have a similar relation with Bowie), but really do get the fact that when they’re good, they really are very very good indeed.
