Am i the only one? Born early 80's so may have missed the boat a bit on them but im quite partial to other artists of the era/style but this is lost on me. Not bad per say but not something i'd go out of my way to listen to. Yet when you read anything about them you'd think they were the alternative Beatles of there time.

Comfortably numb is very good though, certainly stand out.

Any gems that i may have missed?
 
doh yeah forgot about Money (though i align that closer to "another brick in the wall" as its not there normal sound persay)
and wish you were here is good,

good calls :) Time is also good.

I think theirs a lot of weight to that statement, i never had it growing up, so it was skipped over in my more influential years and i'd missed the impact from it being a "new" sound. now im finding myself going back to that era a whole lot more lately and listening to the likes of Bowie & Fleetwood Mac. so i dont find it unreasonable that i should also like PF by extension to a degree, its just yet to hit that chord.
Nirvana is another i never quite got at the time!..

I'll be giving some of the suggestions above some more time though :)
 
Alright, i'll concede a bit on this :) been listening to the wall tonight, a few beers in hand and yeah im seeing the appeal a bit more :) as some of you may have alluded to its more of the experience than an out and out hook.
