Pink Floyd - Tales Of Syd
After the monumental success of the band's previous album "Dark Side Of The Moon" it was going to be difficult to do a follow up. For the most part "Wish You Were Here" builds successfully on the formula established with the bands previous two discs.
The album begins and ends with the two part "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" a tribute to original band leader and acid casualty Syd Barret. In between are several tracks that reflect the evils of the music industry. This is another very strong disc that pretty much every progressive rock fan already owns. The album seems to be a favorite among the band itself as well. I don't think this one is quite as good as "Dark Side", but it is more essential Pink Floyd.
Classic Pink Floyd
In my opinion, the best Pink Floyd album ever. Yes, better than Dark Side of the Moon. Nuff said.
