Back in the 1970's, Pink Floyd was not a singer I could take... My oldest son thought He was awesome! But, I have to admit, the Music of the 1970's and '80's was some of the best music ever! In my older self, I listen to the songs like this one by Pink Floyd and now see the beauty and passion of the songs and the people who sang them...
Pink Floyd are an English rock band formed in London in 1965. Gaining an early following as one of the first British psychedelic groups, they were distinguished for their extended compositions, sonic experimentation, philosophical lyrics and elaborate live shows. They became a leading band of the progressive rock genre, cited by some as the greatest progressive rock band of all time.
About Pink Floyd:
Pink Floyd were founded in 1965 by Syd Barrett (guitar, lead vocals), Nick Mason (drums), Roger Waters (bass guitar, vocals), Richard Wright (keyboards, vocals). The band had previously undergone previous incarnations and names before officially operating under the name “Pink Floyd”. Under Barrett's leadership, they released two charting singles and the successful debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Guitarist and vocalist David Gilmour joined in December 1967; Barrett left in April 1968 due to deteriorating mental health. Waters became the primary lyricist and thematic leader, devising the concepts behind the band's peak success with the albums The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977) and The Wall (1979). The musical film based on The Wall, Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982), won two BAFTA Awards." - Wikipedia
Enjoy my Brothers and Sisters!

Thank you my audiophile friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (PULSE Restored & Re-Edited)
In honor of the very talented guitarist and lead singer [before his breakdown] Syd Barrett I am posting a few of his songs
Background on this bittersweet song: "This song reflects the feelings of estrangement from other people, and was inspired by the band's former member Syd Barrett, who left the band because of mental-health issues. On this song Roger Waters and David Gilmour worked together which happened very seldom as they usually preferred to write separately.
"Wish You Were Here" written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour
Lyrics
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here."
Syd Barrett /Pink Floyd - Arnold Layne
Another promotional film was recorded for the song, this time filmed on 29 April near St Michael's Church in Highgate. It is the only known footage of Barrett lip-synching to the song. It was shot in the spring of 1967, around the time that his mental deterioration began.

Pink Floyd is a great group as is most rock bands of the era. I personally cant stand country music and never could but some like it, although I can't understand why.
