everything...and still not done with my report
So pretty much I'm almost to/right at 10 pages of my report and let me tell you I'm sick of hippies. I wasn't too fond of them to begin with. I have the same view of them that George did. He expected them to be nice and clean and friendly, but they were all dirty and high. >.< So not my scene! My scene is the Underground in London. ;)

YAY YAY YAY Pink Floyd! Hmm, well there's basically three different movements within the Pink Floyd. It starts out with the Syd Barrett Pink Floyd- which only has the album "Piper At the Gates Of Dawn". Best-known tracks from it are "Bike" and "Interstellar Overdrive". Plus, there's the singles from that time, which are fairly well-known: "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play". Then there's the sorta "soundscape-esque" Pink Floyd, which came about because Syd became so out of it because of excessive drug use, so he had to leave the band. This is where they get into those hecka long instrumental tracks (like "Echoes", "Careful With That Axe, Eugene", and "Saucerful of Secrets"). But this shift also has some song songs, like "Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun" and "Paint Box". Then, here's the part that everyone knows: The Concept Album/Popular era of Pink Floyd. It kicks off with the "Dark Side of the Moon" album (with key tracks "Brain Damage", "Time", and "Money"), then there's the "Wish You Were Here" album with the famous Floyd songs "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and "Wish You Were Here". Then, their other major concept album was "The Wall" (which I suggest seeing the live version here. It's easier to see the story of it that way.) Key Tracks from that album (although I suggest you listen through the entire album instead of picking tracks) are "Another Brick in the Wall (pt 2)", "Hey You", "Comfortably Numb", "Young Lust", and "Run Like Hell".
Yeah, so there you are. If you listen to the tracks mentioned, you should be able to get a very, very general idea of Pink Floyd. ^^
