Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon'

He's a bitter man. He could never reconcile his father's sacrifice to his country with his own need to know him. That's understandable but his adoption of the ideology that killed his father is baffling.

Under the heading of Bad Ideas, Roger is going to rerecord Dark Side of the Moon:

Roger Waters has rerecorded Pink Floyd classic The Dark Side of the Moon: “Let’s get rid of all this ‘we’ crap! It’s my project” | Guitar World

Waters writes dark, disturbed, and anguishing lyrics. The sorrowful lyrics are masked by the spirit lifting music produced by Gilmore and Wright. 

This group has been musically instrumental, no pun intended, in my life and even more so with Rush. I find my attention is held better with great lyrics and these bands represent that talent very well. It's always been a mystery to me how to translate great thoughts into lyrics; perhaps that's why it's so appealing. I never agreed with waters political views but I could hear them combined with the sublime David Gilmour. My favorite Floyd album is Division Bell.

It’s pretty cool that DSOTM continues to sell and at least 3 generations of a given family might share a common appreciation for it.  

@bigtwin We saw the same show in Denver. I brought my daughter thinking how cool would it be to have Rogers Waters as her first big concert. It was pretty bad. We left soon after the intermission. 

Happy 50th! Pink Floyd.

Happy Listening!

@czarivey Yup.  My wife & I went to see Waters in concert a few months ago.  Went home after half the show.  If I had wanted a lecture with bad political views, I could have got it for free on the internet.  They had a good run but Waters should have known when to hang it up.  IMHO 

@bigtwin Now waters lost a lot more brain than Syd ever did.

I always find it laughable when others try to read into a song, what they are sure the artist was trying to say.  You can take almost any and every Pink Floyd song and find a way to see Waters was referencing Syd.  And sometimes a Cigar is just a Cigar.   

Oh good, I thought there was test tomorrow 

@mahler123 Relax brother, nobody told you to do anything.

Gee, I thought it was cool to listen to in a dorm room with good weed.  You mean I have to analyze it?
