Today we had a ganesh puja here.After everything was over,i saw someone there wearing a t-shirt with the album art of division bell with the words "pink floyd".
This brought back memories of an argument which i had with my friend some days back.We had a discussion on whether pink floyd still exists or not! His point was that pink floyd was over after the final cut album in '83,when waters left.
Many floyd fans believe that too. Just because a single prominent member left da band,doesnt end the whole f'ckin band.And pink floyd in particular has set the greatest examples of all. They had the power to continue without syd barrett,then why not without waters.I mean roger waters had a gr8 voice,but it is screwed now.U can clearly see that in live8.
In fact most of my fav PF songs r from the last 2 albums pioneered by gilmour.High hopes,learning to fly,coming back to life,on the turning away,poles apart.....all awesome.
Hey i'm not anti roger waters,just wanted to put fwd my views on the last albums in front of my friend.
Well for the latest news,pink floyd seems to be over with gilmour cancelling all his tour dates due to his health.But we still can hope for one last gig!
Long live pink floyd!!!!
