LSFA Floyd Edition 2

Welcome back humans! Today we are going to talk about my 3rd favorite Pink Floyd album, Wish You Were Here. This is the ninth studio album, and came out in September of 1975.

Before I can tell you anything about this album, you'll have to know some backround. Before Pink Floyd had David Gilmour to sing and play guitar, they had a gentleman by the name of Syd Barret. He had all the skills and charisma Pink Floyd needed.... unfortunantly he got addicted to acid and lost all of that. This album is mostly about him (hence the name Wish You Were Here). David Gilmour and Richard Wright say it's there favorite album threy made.


Heres a picture of Syd Barret before and after his big acid addiction.



So let that be a lesson. DRUGS ARE BAD MMKAY? Anyway here's the track list.

Here! This is Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. There's no instumentals on this album, so I hope you like David Gilmour's voice.
