Graham Nash and David Crosby are featured on this, the title track, from the newly-released solo album by the ex-Pink Floyd guitarist. Great album, worth a listen.

Yes, and his tour (with Roxy Music's Phil Manzanera also featuring in his band) is a sell-out in the UK.

Definitely, I reckon it will be Top 20 here. Lots of airplay of the title track and Gilmour and Manzanera were interviewed on Radio 2 and played some acoustic material on Saturday morning. The album has a lot of textures reminiscent of Floyd (no surprise!).

Nothing like the Syd Barrett-era Floyd, though. See Emily Play....

There are people such as myself who prefer the early Pink Floyd to anything that followed, especially that sleep-inducing "Dark Side of The Moon". It sold about 500 zillion copies and it's mind-numbingly BAD. Just shows that 500 zillion people can be wrong.

I'd hardly call DSOTM 'Bad', but each to their own as we say in Scotland.

HOWEVER, Arnold Layne is without a doubt a superb single.

"Dark Side of the Moon" is the perfect cure for insomnia. Anybody who still thinks it's a good album really needs to get a checkup.

Sorry Rob, I know this is off topic, but I thought Gilmour fans might like to hear the live show that was on BBC Radio 2 last night. It can be heard at:

Dennis, I'm not the biggest fan of "Dark Side Of The Moon" although I think it's a good album and I also love the early Syd Barret-Floyd and also Barret's solo records. But as you did with Abbey Road, it's just stupid saying that Dark Side Of The Moon is bad. It's not, definitly! You can say that you don't like it or in your opinion it's bad but making an irrefutable statement about that album being bad is just false.

I'd rather listen to the lyrics of Dark Side Of The Moon than those in Bike such as 'I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like'. Shocked Laughing Hardly bleedin' Dylan, is it?
