hiya muscles4me

Yep I do.. 'Money' was one of my favourite tracks.. and it was a good remake of the song from the movie 'The Italian Job' I don't know who sang it though.
Those sure were the days

I'm a Pink Floyd lover, and was was introduced to them by my ex husband when I was 40, 15 years ago. I got every one of their albums after seeing The Division Bell tour (twice!) and Mr. Gilmour instilled in me a need to learn how to play the guitar, for which I'll always be grateful. I don't play well but I have fun! Sadly, my collection of memorabilia and music was sold to pay attorney's fees during the divorce but I've picked up a few of the cd's. Have you listened to Roger Waters' solo work? Radio Chaos is a great album, and I love "What God Wants" from "Amused to Death".

I could go on and one for days, but I won't. One of my favorite things to do is run over to YouTube and watch old clips of Pink Floyd, and more recent ones of Gilmour and Waters.

I am 48, muscles. Not only do I know who Pink Floyd are, but I still own Dark Side of the Moon on record. I am going to have to dig my record player out of it's box because I haven't listened to my records in ages. Funnily enough, I am not very familiar with Alan Parsons Project. I'd probably recognise the songs if I heard them. As far as I am concerned, the 70s were the best musical age ever. The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and so many other brilliant artists came out of that era.

I am only 35 but yes I know Pink Floyd and I love his music and the song Dark Side of the Moon. I still own all my tape cassettes from my childhood of 676 tapes all in orginal cases, and I still own my parents 8 tracks a total of 79 left. I keep these as collectables but to also teach my children of the past of music, we love music in our family, and have many that play and sing music.

I plan on passing this down to my children to my grandchildren and so on. Now I am not sure about your time and age of the "Good Ole Days", but I do remember my "Good Ole Days", and they were great.

Because of the love of music in my family I grew up on what many people think of as the classics or old music, but because it was all the time played by my parents it does not seem old mucic to me even though it was recorded before I was even born.

Anyway I love music of all types......So Keep On Rockin My Fellow Mylotters!!

Dark Side Of The Moon is of course probably up there in the top 10 greatest rock albums ever made.
and The Alan Parsons Project was also very influential to the world of music.

but I think it's kind of misleading to say AP used to be with the group Pink Floyd.

he never played with Pink Floyd and was never in the band.....he was the engineer on the album Dark Side Of The Moon.......which means he mixed everything........which is in no way undermining the awesome job he did......but he was never actually with the band Pink Floyd.

he also was the engineer on The Beatles Abby Road.......but he was never WITH The Beatles either.

just pointing it out.

Oooooh the Alan Parsons Project! I loved their album dedicated to Edgar Allen Poe! That has to be an all time favorite of mine! I was dating my now husband when I first heard that album and it's still one of my favorites!
I think the guy is brilliant and very underrated don't you?
I have to say the best one on this album for me is "The House of Usher"....it's weird but sooo cool.....

Hey, give us some young'uns some credit! LOL

I grew up listening to PF, and I still listen to them. Like most kids, the line "hey, teacher, leave those kids alone" from The Wall got me hooked!:) Then my cool aunt rented The Wall movie, and I became a fan for life. I have every album they have made, some on vinyl, but all of them on CD. I have freaking posters hanging up like a teenybopper, and I am 30! LOL I have to say, it does my soul good to see a teenager walking around in a PF tee shirt, it lets me know there is hope.;) Good music is good music, no matter what generation it came out in.

Hahahahahaha! Sorry for the laughter, but I'm gonna REALLY date myself here...

The Alan Parsons Project? Are they a new band? JUST KIDDING!

To me, REAL music was Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Creedence Clearwater Revival, etc. Okay, so I'm one of those parents you're telling others to ask. I'm at the tail end of the "Baby Boomers"!


I actually loved Pink Floyd! (Still do... on VINYL yet!!!) I had no idea that Alan Parsons was in that band! I was kinda flighty back then and knew what music I liked and what I didn't, but never paid much attention to names except for my favorites like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Obviously, it was VERY easy to remember Jimi Hendrix's and Janis Joplin's names.


I don't listen to too much music these days but, whenever I'm driving to the store or somewhere, I always have one of my favorites in the CD player. I cruise down the road in my BAAAAAAAD SUV () to CCR, Jimi or any of the others from way back in the 60's and early 70's.

Right on! Groovy! Far out!!!

Oh, come on now! Us young-uns aren't ALL that uncool! How could you possibly think that Dark Side of the Moon would be considered an OLDIE??? LOL

Pink Floyd is terrific. And I'm only 32! My husband is 43, and he loves all kinds of classic rock: Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead (he's a HUGE deadhead), the Allman Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Widespread Panic, Steely Dan, etc. I have to admit, it is really good music, and I enjoy listening to those bands too.
