    You just sent me on a real journey. In high school if you’d asked me or my friends, we would have told you I was a huge Pink Floyd fan.

    When I thought about what my favorite album was I realized all I really knew were pretty basic-bitch albums. DSOTM, The Wall, Is there Anybody Out There; and Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

    Then I started thinking about how I could feel like such a fan and only have so few albums. Then I realized this was before music was pervasively available to listen to for free at any time.

    I distinctly remember the day I decided I was splurging on The Wall double CD set. I’d been stalking it at the record store for months, but it was $30 in 1994 (that’s sixty-five inflation adjusted dollars in 2025!) so I’d kept passing on it despite desperately wanting it.

    TL;DR: I’m old but now I’m catching up on some good music I’d missed out on

      I’m old, too, and going back and filling in gaps in my music knowledge base, and listening to a lot of stuff I’ve been meaning to for decades.

      However, I have also realized that my favorites have solidified, after decades of listening and deciding. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, Yes, Led Zep, and a few others have fought their way to the front of the pack.
