Wish You Were Here…

Oops…I see you already are here, in which case: Welcome to the first “Bang A Gong” post. We’ll be dealing with all-things-70′s-music here, and few bands scream the 70′s like Pink Floyd. Early in the decade they released the best selling rock album of all time, “Dark Side Of The Moon” (1973) (do you know anyone who doesn’t own it?) and they closed it out in ’79 with the critically acclaimed “The Wall.” In between those giants were “Wish You Were Here” (1975) and “Animals” (1977), two wonderful albums in their own right. Besides their own unique brand of “progressive” rock, their album covers were some of the best, pictured below on a somewhat different brand of artistic medium.

  Quote:”…the band is just fantastic/ that is really what I think/ Oh, by the way/ which one’s Pink?” (from “Have A Cigar”, on the “Wish You Were Here” album)
