I have almost every pink floyd song or CD.
My top 3 in albums is.
1. Wish You Were Here.(mega super good)
2. The Wall
3. Dark Side Of The Moon

I adore also
- Atom Heart Mother
- Meddle: this one is a little bit, more than a little bit, bluesy, with sliding on a few songs.
I could go on, but one very good album is OBSCURED BY CLOUDS, and I think that after this album, the famous dark side of the moon appeared on the market. You can hear that the songs start more to be "pop" or more "catchy tunes".
COME ON PINK CHORDIAN FLOYD FANS, AND GIVE YOUR OPINION, if possible with a why.
I love wish you where here, because of the real straight from the heart music, more than dark side.
The wall is number 2, also because of the melodies, like "mother" (exists also in duet with Sinnead).

Last but not least, big topic to discuss is: who is the best
ROGER WATERS or PINK FLOYD with GILMOUR. I have the DVD's of both, and my first price goes to ROGER WATERS, live and surrounded by "super professional musicians" which doesn't mean that Pink Floyd is worse. I do agree that the last albums were Waters ft Pink Floyd, but look for yourself the songs written and performed (also in the seventies) by Gilmour.
I hope to have a nice discussion on this one, and the why's are indeed mostly personal taste, but write them if you want.

Is there a chordian out or inside the forum who was lucky to talk with famous people in the rockworld.
I did, because I worked as medical doc on one of the greatest rock festivals in the world, being backstage doctor only for the musicians. So I have seen a lot, I had a lot of fun KEEPING IN MIND: NEVER DISTURB THE ARTIST(S). Of course you have many interpretations of this rule and the people working backstage was below 15, like 1 friend (now) did or had to look if everything was allright, if it was the right kind of beer, water.....
But in my case, I was called by the artists. And they are really not better than we, BUT please, don't start to ask pictures or signed stuff. If they like you as a person, they will do this spontaneous. I realise now that I was a lucky guy, and the first "meet & greet" is WOW!! I have discussed with a lot of artists, BUT knowing the most important rule, I discussed when THEY called me.
BEST CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
1/ FOO FIGHTERS, in particular DAVE GROHL. He gave me his home phone number, and invited me for visting him in Seattle, he wanted to play together, going to the studio to see REM recording their album. I didn' contact him and I still regret it, because he is a sweet, polite modest & quit man. Why I didn't: duty called me and if you work as independent: no work, no money and just coming back from holiday. I don't like to write stuff like this because it's so selfish like look what I could do.
I was proud, and it was amazing NO REGRETS.
2/ ICE T very nice guy, got a few t-shirts.
3/ Wendy and Lisa, there I saw a lot, very nice bodies.
For my conscience, please write or answer on this topic.
DID YOU HAD THE LUCK TO TALK WITH ARTISTS, more or less famous.

One thing I really like to know.
I don't want to offend, but one of the greatest "discoqueens" and very popular in so called "gay" bars is named Gloria GAYnor?????? on purpose????
You also have the late Marvin Gaye.

Good name for your group OLD DOLL
ERICA CLOPTAN ft THE OLD DOLLS is playing tonight an exceptional, private concert, in the biggest jazz club in Montreal, I will fly from Brussels to Montreal, and I hope a lot of you chordians will be there too to see and probably jamming after a few beers and songs.
Are there other names you should give to this band?
There will be no problem to recognise the participatin chordians, we all sleep in the sheraton, in the "old montreal" in the centre, we will be dressed as dolls only the administrator will be dressed as a white doll, moderators in broken white, and the rest name tags included, as simple dolls.
If needed, we bring at least an acoustic and an electric guitar, for the BIG FINAL CHORDIE JAM.
Other ideas: give your ideas and suggestions here and now.
Thanks for reading and supporting. Talked about supporting: should Eric Clapton come? maybe if we could arrange a kind of fund raising for his project (alcohol, drugs) somewhere in the Carribean. If we could arrange that, not this week, within 2 years, it would be really INTERESTING and VERY FUNNY, in fact, things like that you will NEVER EVER FORGET, and it will be burned in our "collective memories"

I know one thing, and it still happens, probably a lot more in Europe than in the USA: THOSE THINGS CAN HAPPEN IF YOU "LOVE" THE MUSIC, BUT YOU FORGOT OR DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS. I prefer, if you don't mind, world famous songs. I love to see what songs the "chordians" will post. I will try to post more or less 5 world famous songs.
- BEE GEES                                            Don't Forget to Remember Me.
- ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK                   Please Release Me
- ALICE COOPER (maybe in-between)      How you gonna see me now.
- THE SEARCHERS (ROLLING STONES)     Take It, Or Leave It.
- MY FAVORITE: THE BEATLES                  Yesterday

This should be a real surprising subject. Everyone knows that BOB DYLAN is a jew, born as ROBERT ZIMMERMAN. But I was really surprised to see that artists, musicians in this case, so popular were in fact Jewish. I insist that I am not antisemitic, but I was amazed. If you fellow "chordians" can help me to make a bigger list, please do because I DON'T WANT ALL CREDITS FOR THE FACTS TOPIC. I just try to search facts and share them with you, and I do know a lot of music and musicians, from songwriters to performes. So be prepared for some surprises.
Some incredible ones (maybe for me, because I don't live in the USA):
- LOU REED: Lewis Allan Reed born March 2 1942 from Jewish parents in Brooklyn. Who doesn't know Lou Reed? His first recording was as a member of a doo wop-style group called The Shades. In 1963 he started in New York as a songwriter and I think in 1965 he started the Velvet Underground with John Cale.
- BECK (HANSEN) born Bek David Campbell, but in fact not directly. I have heard that jewish (religion) is passed through the mother's side.
- MICHAEL BOLTON (born Michael Bolotin on February 26, 1953) famous country and western
- PAUL SIMON & ART GARFUNKEL: this fact I knew already a long time, BUT WHAT DO YOU PREFER: BOTH TOGETHER, OR PAUL SIMON SOLO?????
- GWYNETH PALTROW:  father was a television producer and paternal grandparents were Gertrud Goldman and Aaron Paltrow. Mother was from Dutch descent.
JACK BLACK: (TENACIOUS D, is not only the movie, but also a rock group with BLACK) Judith Cohen, is Jewish, and his father, Thomas Jack Black, Sr., converted to Judaism after marrying Judith
- PAULA ABDUL: Abdul's father was a Mizrahi Syrian Jew who immigrated with his family to Brazil and then to the U.S. while her mother is also Jewish .
- BILLY JOEL: his father was Howard (Born Helmut Joel) & grandfather Karl Amson Joel and his mother was Rosalynd Nyman
- GENE SIMMONS:   Born Chaim Witz in Haifa, Israel, they went to New York I think in 1957
- COUNTRY JOE MCDONALD (Woodstock '69: Country Joe and the Fish)
- "MAMA" CASS ELLIOT:   Real Name Ellen Naomi Cohen
- PAUL STANLEY (with Gene Simmons in KISS) born as Stanley Harvey Eisen.
- JOHN DENVER born as Henry John Deutschendorf. I want to tell you this, because a lot of people don't know the fact that there are a lot of JEWISH people with BLOND HAIR & BLUE EYES, they often come from regio's in Russia, and more in the regio of the Baltic States, you can find there really beautiful girls (for the girls: men). I went once to ESTONIA and you should be careful as man not to bump against walls, because I swear I saw there a lot of beautiful women, BUT this is of course about taste.
- JANIS IAN born as Janis Eddy Fink, toke her brothers middlename: IAN as last name.

I have tried to put names in this list containing people you don't expect they are Jewish. WITHOUT OFFENDING PEOPLE of course.
You can also look for actors, or people like Einstein. I hope you liked this one, and again, welcome to make or complete topics like this.
