5 stars Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here is as close to absolute musical perfection as an album can get. Never before has an album supplied such a euphoric atmosphere. Shine on You Crazy Diamond (Part 1) Probably the best song on the album, although choosing can be incredibly difficult. This is the apotheosis of cosmic space rock. It is a testament to the then facilitated Syd Barrett, and there will never be a song as sentimentally beautiful as this.

Welcome to the Machine One of Pink Floyd's all time darkest moments, the band attacks the music industry that apperantly drove Floyd's original mastermind Syd to the gates of dawn. A very powerful and touching song.

Have A Cigar Seldom is the low point of an album of this caliber. Roy Harper delivers an outstanding vocal performance as the heartless producer that stereotypes accurately the agents behind the stars.

Wish You Were Here A true Floyd Classic. Enough said.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Part 2) A continuation of the first song on WYWH, Part 2 is the perfect closer for the perfect album.

Wish You Were Here is everything that progressive music should be.
