Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one of my favorite songs. Ironic how many of their songs were inspired by what happened to Sid Barret.

Well that one for sure and I bet a large amount of the wall is not just about Roger but also those around him.

I rest my case your honor and vote Pink Floyd
Not long ago I picked up a re-release of Dark Side of The Moon on heavy vinyl complete with new posters and stickers! The posters are a different tint than the originals ... and still totally cool.
I realize that the poll is very subjective. Everyone has their fav likes and dislikes and hey!, this was just kind of a fun thing to do. Me? Well ... I live and die with The Doors but I sure as hell love ALL those other groups. Hendrix is right at the top as far as I am concerned .. same-same with Joplin. I think Floyd is Primo and as a matter of fact I am gonna zero in on them probably when I finish with Led Zeppelin. It is always kind of a kick to see where everybody else is with something like this. Feel free to Rock On Dudes. Let me know what is on your collective minds. I love Rock and Roll and also love to talk about it. For example ... like I mentioned in the Led Zep part 01 ... today how many know of Zep's link to the Yardbirds or what part in guitar history the Yardbirds have? How the "New Yardbirds" never happened and transformed into Led Zeppelin? Anyway Gang ... this is just fun!

I like the harmonica in this song. There were a lot of good bands. Cream, Who, Traffic, Deep Purple, etc.

Led Zeppelin because it was omnipresent in my highschool cafeteria and brought in more than music. Robert Plant has this special noise, a mystique that transcends and echoes an era of transformation.
The beats of John Bonham and the eery guitars of Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones completed an awesome set that has yet to be copied. The closest thing to this stuff is a voodoo mass.
We were hypnotized and abducted lol.

I had to vote for the Doors as for me Jim Morrison is the very definition of paranormal.
Fun Fact: The Pink Floyd video "Another Brick in the Wall " was filmed in my secondary (High) school using children from the school, here is an article about disputed royalties!*

Hmmm. Interesting sidelight. You can't trust the music companies.
Apropos to nothing, I recently tried to download a "Best of Pink Floyd" collection, supposedly "remastered" for Apple's iTunes. I couldn't retrieve the file for "The Happiest Days of Our Lives," which precedes "Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2," the one on which those pupils were featured. I had to spend several weeks dealing with Apple's online and phone support before I was finally able to get that file in non-corrupted form. What a story.
Anyway, that report to which you link is from 2004. Did they ever get their money?

That's sad. The band members should just share the wealth.
