WISH YOU WERE HERE

Well I don't think there should be any argument as to the effect this album had on the prog rock scene. It is my favorite Floyd album and in many respects one of the best I have ever listened to.

The feelings I get from listening to Shine on you crazy diamond are just incomparable. It is a masterpiece by which others are measured.

Welcome to the machine is awesome. Wright's keyboard playing gives you the chills.

Have a cigar performed by Roy Harper is a must for guitar lovers. What a riff!

As for the title track anthem it is the ultimate soft ballad recognisable by millions of music fans!!!

This album continues in some aspect the essence of madness surrounding human life covered in DSOTM. Only here this is fully devoted to Syd and his absence from things he should be part of.

It is not of this review to make any comparison to other Floyd gems simply because it is a matter of subjectivity as to which one you think it's best. The vast majority would agree that DSOTM, Wish you were here and The Wall are the cornerstones of Floyd's career.

All of them truly essential for any music fan,not just a Floyd fan.
