The first Pink Floyd album came out in 1967 which was the height of flower power. The album was very psychedelic and upbeat.

Then Pink Floyd eventually lost founding member and chief song writer Syd Barrett. Each Pink Floyd album after that seemed to be more and more dark and/or subdued. That's basically what happened to the peace culture after 1967. The sun started to set.

It's my opinion that 1972 was really the last good year for the peace culture. Coinsidentally, in 1973 Floyd released "Dark Side Of The Moon".



It's almost as if "Dark Side Of The Moon" was symbolic of the end of an era. The cover is black, and shows a triangle blocking a rainbow. Only a trickle of light makes it through. The music on the album is a big change from Floyd's earlier work. It's seems to be angrier and depressing. There's even a line from the song "Money" that goes "don't give me that do good good bullshit".

After DSOTM, Pink Floyd became an all out depressing rock group. Their albums became darker and darker. Eventually they hit "The Wall" when Reagan became President.

I agree. Music started to tank by 72-74

I miss the good old days.

Quote:

In December 1967, the band asked David Gilmour to become the fifth member of Pink Floyd, and Gilmour accepted. Barrett reluctantly agreed to Gilmour's addition to Pink Floyd. Barrett had recently suggested adding four new members: in the words of Waters, "two freaks he'd met somewhere. One of them played the banjo, the other the saxophone ... [and] a couple of chick singers".[64] Gilmour was already acquainted with Barrett, having studied together at Cambridge Tech in the early 1960s.[16] The two had performed at lunchtimes together with guitars and harmonicas, and later hitch-hiked and busked their way around the south of France.

Probably a better one for the thread.

What, did the way that they sounded change somehow?

Amen, the hippie music of love brings hope , hope creates itself forever ,
they perhaps wanted something, and in wanting they lost the realization that they were transforming, and so losing hope they manifested the 70s....

let us never just blindly praise a thing, the dark side of the moon absolute terrified me and gave me horrible feelings and sensations , as if every sound were true evil just in the first few seconds, on dxm , in college, some people are so blind they won't realize they are eating poison until they get symptoms, then they still won't realize it , those are the cheerleaders of praise or condemnation , outright, without investigation or inquiry into quality without bias

a teenage way to live

when i hear some things like the song alice bt ooklas i say oh my god, for a period of time people actually cared about love and happiness. that is a beautiful groovy song, the word groovy is holy . in a funky and pleasant sort of way .

oh also we create our own reality light dark or in between which is must muddy light so not really light at all

that's the flaw with music

with all your power, what would you do ? waste it ?

preception is everything, how about some of the nice incubus lyrics, might give you a great beautiful life, or some linkin park, might end in suicide ...

in a way i'm glad i typed it wrong, PRE ception, and perception, what you see what you read into it what you get of it , the poets are not all good people , they might have a power that makes you think its the way things are, that's called hip-knows-sis, and its just an opnion , a power, a suggestion, eager to give away our ability to imagine to people that paved roads , where does it go ?

there's a reason good songs make you feel fantastic.
live, the dolphins cry ,
you're alive for all eternity to create a prison or break free, so why choose something negative ? its not true its  A POWERFUL SUGGESTION ENERGY

i want to add that the stuff from on an island is very useful , or seems to be, very profound, very deep pink has a way of each and every single note, sustain, delay, being
