Quoted from Finrod:When I started making my top albums list, by the time I got to #12, I already had 5 Pink Floyd albums in there (2, 3, 6, 10, 12).
To my mind, there are really four Pink Floyds: with Syd, after Syd but before DSOTM, DSOTM thru The Wall, and post-Wall. The third incarnation gets all the press but I like them all.
You do realize if Syd hadn't blown his mind away with drugs, and he were still in charge of the band, the name Pink Floyd would have faded away long ago in the 60s.
Roger was Pink Floyd. Simple as that. And without him writing Dark Side of the Moon, their gone.
Personally I think The Final Cut was such a beautiful moving album. Not suitable for a pin, but it was like all of Rogers energy stored up for one last Pink Floyd hurrah! What a shame The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (which Roger was originally writing as a PF album) didn't get recorded by Floyd. Not that Clapton didn't do a great job, but I would love to have heard Gilmour rocking in that.
Getting back on topic, if you were to make a Pink Floyd pin, I would love to see the end of the game where all the lights went off and you just hear the call out "There is no dark side of the moon really, as a matter of fact, its all dark" Then the Stern logo rolls up as it does on their other pins.
There are so many concepts you could do. Another thought is a small model airplane hides under the apron and comes out and crashes into either the wall or a toy with soldier on phone with some kind of explosion effect.
This machine could make great use of a LCD screen showing all the great animations by Gerald Scarfe.
