Pink Floyd is my favorite band. Has been for decades. If you quiz me on the band members or the early albums? Nah not my thing. I love their work but it's not a goddamn trivia contest. They were just some dudes who did awesome work and were in the right place at the right time.
"Oh you like Pink Floyd? Name every song!"
"Nice try, but you forgot Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict".
So I thought you were joking with that title and... ugh. Good thing people grow over time.
I was stoned in a forest the first time I heard that song. It felt like all of the animals in the entire forest were participating in a religious ceremony. It was quite the experience.
Meddle is an incredible album.
Yup. Somehow that album was my go to sleep music for a few years. I don't understand how those weird whale noises didn't wake me up.
I didn't know what that album was until I saw it for sale for 4$ at the disc store back in 2005 or so... can't say if I was disappointed or not... it's quite a trip to listen to!
It's definitely an experience. It's not something you put on while driving in traffic, or at least it isn't for me. It's more like something you lay down and listen to at full blast while stoned, once. I've only listened to that album a few times, but I'm glad I did.
That’s because you like the music, not the names of the songs or albums.
Music fans seem to be the hugest gate keepers, the sort that wants to cross examine you when you wear a band tshirt.
"Oh, so you like Nirvana ? Name 5 of their songs"
"What ? They're a band ? I just thought it was a cool tshirt logo when I saw it at target"
That usually shuts them up 😁
Yeah sometimes lightning in a bottle happens, and a group of people are a conduit for something awesome.
I'm not against appreciating the work the people but into it, but. I guess no but. That's fine, too. Just not my thing.
Like I don't worship Carmack and Romero because of Doom, even though I'm obsessed with the game.
