Thank you. Echos is like a book or a movie for me. I could get so lost, then ten minutes has gone by. And whatever was bad before - well its still bad but now I'm insulated.

I suppose this is old news for the Pink Floyd nerds around. But the sync of Echoes and 2001 is the BEST thing I have ever seen in my life : https://youtu.be/rn7MmS3vazU

My introduction to Pink Floyd started (late 70s) with Dark Side, and worked its way backwards.

"A Saucer Full of Secrets" and "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" - collected together as "A Nice Pair" - was the peak for me.

I like "Animals" and "Welcome to the Machine". I respect "The Wall" as an artistic piece. But it's not an album I ever bought or had a strong desire to listen to.

I honestly can't stand any of it. I've often told friends that if I ever owned a radio station I would ban Pink Floyd.

Can't really explain why. Just don't like it.

Even Wish You Were Here? It's one of their more popular songs that doesn't sound very Pink Floyd-y.

Or anything after "Final Cut", really, which are more along the lines of Gilmour's solo albums than anything PF-y.
