My Dad was gutted when he found out, I grew up listening to them, and it's a shame really because apart from Live 8, haven't seen them all perform together, being 17, I didn't really have the oppertunity too.

I have to agree, although I liked the single another brick in the wall, but that was more because of what it meant to me as a kid at school at the time.

At least they were different, even to anything else in their day. They did something which was totally unique in Dark Side Of The Moon.

No they didnt, there were loads of middle class kids taking acid and doing trippy music, they were the only ones that hit the mainstream.
