"And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon"
- Pink Floyd, "Brain Damage", Dark Side of the Moon
I could (and have) listened to the Floyd for months on end. My wife and I danced to every part of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" when we first started dating. Didn't care what the lyrics were. Just dug the music.
I agree with kgoerz. There are musicians like the guys in Pink Floyd, and then there are entertainment acts and hype machines. Sadly, we are losing a whole lot of the former, with no one to really replace them.
Imagine what the headlines 40 years from now could look like. "Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy aka Diddy died today. He was the writer of...well, nothing really. But he sampled a whole lot of stuff and passed it off as music."
