When I was going through a seriously down period in my life -- my future wife had dumped me, you see ![](/boards/images/icons/wink.gif) -- Floyd's "Division Bell" really helped me wallow. Never underestimate the healing power of music that helps you wallow. Eventually, my roommate complained and told me if I kept listening to that album on repeat, I would wither into a cold shapeless mass of misery. That was my wake-up call and beginning of my recovery.

yes, I'm sure you are correct. Some of it can definately bring you down. I heard Wish you Were Here, was written from within an insane Asylum. Real Cheary stuff.
Personally, if you're in a real wrist slitting mood, Neil Young is the only way to go. hehehe. No offense meant to any Neil fans. I love Neil... speaking of which there are some really good strumming on Harvest that the Axioms bring out.

I guess for me its the beat in "Free Four" that puts a spring in my step.
Now that you guys have gone and pointed out the lyrics, I'm very depresessed. ; ) I think one of you guys need to cheer me up with a six pack of XX amber, or better yet as long as we're listening to Floyd..........
I like ALL floyd and 90% of Waters by himself.

yea, the last time I saw Floyd it was at RFK stadium in DC. There was more than beer drinking at that one. I can't remeber getting depressed at that show. I like the big inflated Pig. They have some great effects that go with their music. I wish it wasn't so late, I put some on right now... let's see what would it be. May Time on Dark side of the moon. Let's see if I can't wake the neighborhood up. Great alarm clock.

I find it shows off the imaging potential of a stereo system better than just about anything I have heard. All the different instruments have sharp & accurate positioning spread evenly across the soundscape, no "synth on the left, percussion on the right", singer in the middle" for this track.
