I can't think of a better way to express my feelings about Pink Floyd, other than sharing with you, a article I wrote about them that is all over the internet.

Here it is.

Congratulations to Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd has been providing us with musical entertainment since 1964. Since then, they have sold enough albums and performed enough shows to bring in countless millions of dollars over the decades. Their shows, as with the music they are known for, is always a treat. Just to assemble one of their shows would involve a convoy of dozens of trucks carrying numerous materials and a crew of a minimum of one hundred people to put everything together for the show. This being a representation of a successful band really taking their careers very seriously, and wanting to provide their audience with a high quality product.

Pink Floyd was able to find and capture the magic of providing album music without the need to scream into their microphones like other bands. Their ability to do this created the iconic sound of Pink Floyd that people all over the world would come to crave. Something else Pink Floyd did that helped give them their own proprietary sound was the use of dubbing in sounds from other sources like people and animals, and it was done in such a magnificent way that it simply sounded outstanding. It was done just right. Only Pink Floyd could accomplish something like this and get such great results.

Anyone growing up as a teenager or young adult in the 1980's is well aware of some of the albums by Pink Floyd. Albums like `Dark Side Of The Moon', `Animals`, and of coarse the very well known `The Wall'. The 1979 album `The Wall', eventually became a 1982 film `Pink Floyd The Wall' (the full length film) written by Roger Waters and directed by Alan Parker, grossed more than $22 million in North America. The film has since become available on DVD and is well worth watching. The film combines regular video with animations that will capture your attention as it walks you through the album music in a most delightful way. Just to see the images that go with the music you here on the album is eye catching and indeed a spectacular treat. Seeing the character of the school teacher matches the description one may have had in their imagination before they even watched the film. Extremely well done. The film is presented by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer.

At the present time (2008), there is a radio station in Europe that plays only Pink Floyd music, and nothing but Pink Floyd music.

`101.ru Pink Floyd' broadcasting from Moscow, Russia plays the work of this artist in a `unadjusted' English language without dubbing it to the Russian language. This in itself says a lot for the work of Pink Floyd. To dedicate a entire radio station to the work of just one artist without translating the lyrics to the language of that country really means a lot.

Thanks to technology, people all over the world can listen to Pink Floyd on this Moscow radio station by means of the internet. The URL for the live stream to this radio station is [link hidden for this review]

As for this reporter personally, ... I've always enjoyed the music of Pink Floyd. It will always give me flashbacks of my youth, such as when I was in automotive class in high school and some student was usually playing The Wall on the shop stereo while the class worked on the cars.

Do I think Pink Floyd music will ever burn out? No. Absolutely not. The teenagers of today are walking around wearing T-shirts for Pink Floyd albums that came out more than fifteen or twenty years ago, and I see myself listening to the work of Pink Floyd until I'm old and gray. Pink Floyd's work will always be here.
