WISH YOU WERE HERE

My first Pink Floyd cd, also my first progressive cd, and even my first cd (together with Nirvana's In Utero). My father had already let me hear some of his Pink Floyd LP's and he told about this album he has had in his youth, but which he lost on a party. I decided to buy it and I liked is very much. All songs are fantastic, except for "Wish you were here", that in my opinion isn't a bad song at all but very overrated and I don't know why exactly it overshadows the more unknown album tracks "Welcome to the Machine" (my favourite) and "Have A Cigar". "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is more known, and it deserves it. It is a great song with a mysterious but peaceful atmosphere.

If I was Syd Barret and a album like this was dedicated to me, I'd be the proudest person on earth.
