And you must check out both La Vallee, now on DVD (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00007M5H8/imdb-adbox/002-6767709-8696032) which this is the soundtrack to, and Zabrieski Point, which isn't on DVD yet (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/6301977874/imdb-adbox/002-6767709-8696032). Of course, I love every single album, including all the solo stuff, but I'm a completist.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Oh hellyeah, I'm all about the Floyd.
Dark Side of the Moon, one of the best albums ever put out.
Comfortably Numb and Silent Lucidity are sheer genius.

hee hee...i believe silent lucidity is by queensryche....
Was always the one to listen to Floyd as a means of extracting a lot of painful, emotional energy. Listening to Pink Floyd, for me was like looking into virtually every painful window available to one when they are growing up, or growing out of the shells we sometimes exist in. Like the pains of removing a living creature, being forcibly extracted from their natural envioronment.
Mother was a song that would often cut me to the core. It expressed in almost every way, my relationship with mine. Over protective, bordering on fanatacism. She really did check out all my girlfriends for me. None of them were ever deemed good enough it seemed.
Ooooooohhh Babe gave to me a reflection of the things that were to come into my life regarding relationships. It prepared me, to some degree for the hours that would be spent, wishing to be left alone, the dark days when feelings for the one that you love become cold, you become non responsive, you wish to be able to just move to another planet as opposed to living with someone you feel so allienated with. Such as is life. Such as is love.
Much of what was reflected in the albums, just felt to the nth degree, reality. I lived in them, and they lived in me. They were part of what brought me to where I am today. They were just that personal.
Though the pain they induced in me at that time is no longer a reflection of what my life is today, every once and a while, I'll spin one of my favorite Floyd albums, as a witness to the memory of the hurt that I no longer hold on to.
They still serve me well.
And so much of the pain is just a fading memory.
Hmmm... really? rofl... My wife has it in her Pink Floyd folder, did they ever do a version?

Perish the thought! Mentioning Queensryche alongside Pink Floyd is tantamount to
blasphemy.
Zabrieski Point has not been released on DVD to my knowledge, but I welcome being proven incorrect. It was released on CD as a soundtrack however. Harleyquinn, if you've got it on DVD, let me know!
What's wrong with La Vallee? Flaky hippies in Borneo not hip enough?

I know that I'm mad
I've always been mad
Like the most of us are
That's why you have to explain why you are mad
Even if your not mad
