- Golden Age Music -

        Pink Floyd

        Such cruel misery, shocking
        Parents generation distanced themselves
        "The Dark Side of the Moon"
        Psychedelic rock,
        they could not believe -
        or did not want to believe
        Hallucinogens on vinyl !
                                         Surrealistic !
        "Is There Anybody Out There?"
        Worldwide recognition
        "Shine On You Crazy Diamond"
        Pink Floyd - giants without a doubt
        innovative in their; "Time"
        "Oh, By the Way"
                                  ...  "Have a Cigar"
