h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

After the bassist and main songwriter left Pink Floyd the task of songwriting fell to guitarist Dave Guilmour, who previously had written a decent number of songs but not a whole album's worth on his own. His solo stuff had been okay, but when he got control of Pink Floyd, they went a bit, well, 'world music'-ish. And, if possible, more pretentious. One song on the last studio album Pink Floyd made was called 'Keep Talking' and it featured a vocal from Stephen Hawking and a lot of female backing vocalists who probably ended up working for Destiny's Child. It was kinda crappy. You began to see why punk had to happen, even though the album was released in 1996.
However, it made a very good point, ie. that we should keep talking. Six years on the problem is that in order to keep talking we have to, you know, start talking. Actually talking, not just wittering on about 'boabies, satanic cats and whipped cream'.
I was in a room yesterday with some friends. Two were drunk and having the time of their lives (until they woke up the next morning), two were being as intimate as a room full of friends will allow, and one was sitting at the computer downloading music while talking to the cat and remaining deliberately sober thinking she was alone and that nobody wanted to talk to her.
This is all very unfortunate, and could've been avoided. I didn't have fun either (I got attacked with a pointy stick and some cream when I was trying to get to sleep) but it was okay because I tried to talk to some people and so forth, even though I really wanted to be somewhere and possibly someone else.
It all depends on your mood I suppose. Everyone's been guilty of it at some time.
But that means Pink Floyd are still relevant. And that terrifies me.I mean, 'Yes' have just reformed...

if Pink Floyd have a point than does that mean other bands too might just have points too??? I think so

Well when I say Pink Floyd had a point, I mean the 'Division Bell' album, which may have been an okay record but wouldn't have been a life-altering favourite album of all time type thing, whereas previous Floydian albums could be considered in that way. If Dave Gilmour was doing solo stuff anyway 'Division Bell' needn't have been released.
