Totally. Besides, I haven't heard much from The Beatles. The only songs I remember are I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.
Speaking of Diamonds, 2 years ago, we tripped so fucking hard on "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" whilst watching Terminator 2 with no sound. The music went so well with the picture, we have no idea how but it was NUUTTTSSS :lol:

We woke up the next day and my best friend decides to jump out of the upper bunk bed...the fucker broke his leg.

On another note, Pink Floyd, Beatles, all legends in my book.

God, I love progressive music so much!
I don't think you'd like The Beatles a lot,barring some of their later songs.

Have you heard Roger Water's version of The Wall?That is just epic.That's probably the one Floyd/Waters album i can listen to in my car and enjoy it.The energy is incredible.

Try The Greatest Gig In The Sky.That is the ultimate 'trip',and you don't even need to get high:D

See how they fly!
Like pigs in the sky!
See how they run...
What a ridiculously meaningless yet brilliant song.

Goo Goo G'Joob!

:) But there's so much work involved. Only so little can be done in ten hours each and everyday.
I know what you mean. :)

I don't like The Wall very much. But I'll give his rendition a go sometime.

Oh that is a great song. Have you heard Dream Theater's cover of that song? It's really quite awesome.

Yes i heard that a long time ago.I'm not a DT fan,but this is Brilliant.It's an awfully difficult song to sing,but she does a fantastic job.I enjoy the audio more than than the video though:confused:

The thing is,you expect the singer to be all dazy and high with this song,but she's pumping energy.That's my only issue here.Great cover nevertheless.

P.S Is this some Pink Floyd tribute concert?Because Pink Floyd covers from the show are all over the place.

Yeah I like the cover mostly due to her energy. It's quite different from the original. I hate covers that sound exactly like the original.

They covered the whole album, Dark Side Of The Moon, and covered other songs too. Namely:

Echoes Pt.1
One Of These Day
Sheep
In The Flesh?
Run Like Hell
Hey You
Comfortably Numb

@Greg - The relic will live on permanently however.

The same could be said about Elvis.Only the Beatles were more talented musicians.
But a good part of their appeal is the package. The sum of the parts.

For example, if "Hey Jude" sounded at it did and yet had been a one-hit wonder from some other artist, it wouldn't have been the same. The phenomenon of the Beatles cannot be separated from the phenomenon of their fans. So they are really a product of their environment.

In the future, with more fractioning of how people have access to musicians and music -- online to TV versus only one of two pop stations on AM radio -- what that stardom will mean will be very different.

In short, my point is that the relic will not live on -- at least without going through major cultural interpretation. The reason being that a band and its fans could not exist today as they did then -- making them something unrecognizable in modern times. What it means to be a pop phenomenon will become even more different from what it was then. Kids today will grow up thinking about the Beatles the way that you, say, think about Louis Armstrong.

For a hypothetical example: if you don't get interviewed on TMZ for screwing a whore/actress on some MTV reality show, how are you even culturally relevant? To kids today, they might not even recognize fandom without it.
