@Paul O’Brian:
I agree with you wholeheartedly. You should also check out Jeff Beck’s powerful work on Roger Water’s album “Amused to Death”, particularly his solo on the song “What God Wants, Part III”…now *that* is soul! I cry when I hear it.

To my ear, Gilmour conveys emotion like no other guitar player I’ve ever heard.

This album was verboten in my hometown when it came out in middle school, so my girlfriend and I would skulk down to the public library (!) to listen to their copy in the audio booths. Good times.

Wasn’t until high school when my classmates would recount their stories of getting incredibly high and watching the movie. Good times.

To finally getting my own double-cd copy after college to hear it in its high-fidelity glory. Good times.

This album is a cultural touchstone for the generations it spans; I only hope current and future generations can match its excellence.

So thanks for the notice, Stephen! And a special thanks to you, Scott M., Mike S., and Shawn F. for highlighting the importance of Pink Floyd and others like them; your curation of the genre made the difference. Not sure if I ever brought that up.
