Pink Floyd, WYWH. Gone for a different image just for a change.

Concluding my Floyd vinyl afternoon, Obscured by Clouds

I would watch her read the phone book, but not sure about listening to a whole album although I do like some of her later (post 1995) stuff.

I would rather watch paint dry than listen to some of the stuff people listen to on here but, I accept we're all different and like different types of music, and that's fair enough by me!! The earlier stuff is a total pop music direction/vibe (courtesy of S.A.W.) but, as you say, her later stuff is a lot better.

My latest Crimson acquisition, another minter off Ebay, I like these 80s EG editions.

My copy has the two "robot' hands shaking each other. Still one of my least favourite Pink Floyd albums.

[Us-&-Them]

Just been streaming it this morning. I like about half of it, which is just about enough to interest me. So I've ordered the CD off Music Magpie - £2.50 with free postage, can't grumble about that). Then all i have to do is run the gauntlet of Mrs. P's derision - I already get stick for telling her I like some of Sugarbabes' songs

At the risk of getting even more stick (this time from the forum) I will add that I'm now streaming Kylie's new album "Tension", and I might have to add this to my Christmas wish list What I'd really like is for Kylie to hand-deliver it wearing a custom-made Santa outfit, but that's unlikely.

I'm glad I've inspired you enough to give it a go and I'm glad you quite like (half of) it. I've listened to Tension and I think it might be an album that slowly grows on me; it has a lot of mixed influences in it - some I like, some I dont. To me, I think Kylie is one of those artists who is more of a "Great Singles Artist" than a "Great Album Artist," somewhat like The Police.

By the way, having the album hand-delivered to my home by Kylie herself would be VERY, VERY NICE !!

I agree. About The Police too. After streaming the whole of "Tension" earlier, I might not be wanting Kylie to hand-deliver it after all. But she's welcome to pop round anyway for a brew. I'll just need some notice so I can run round with the hoover and get some Jaffa Cakes in

Oh well you gave it another go last week so nobody can say you didn't give it a chance. Atom Heart Mother is your favourite anyway isn't it? On my Christmas wish list, my last copy went in the 70s.

My vinyl copy has the two businessmen shaking hands with them on fire and my CD has the two robots shaking hands
