Thanks Chris. Relying on the van's system isn't ideal for a first listen but I shall keep trying. I agree about more effort in = greater results; that's why I've done so much additional research (the back-story, etc) to give Floyd the best chance to win me over. Three albums to buy and counting!

I'm interested ICL1P, what is it you love about it?

"I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old but he's a good mouse"

From "Bike", the title of which should be self-explanatory...

Mr Barratt must have had some weird chat-up lines, but then again given the context it wouldn't matter - they were soon in the other room Wink

Plenty of innuendo on that one!

Nothing really prophetic or "seer of visions" about "Piper" IMO. I reckon the "seer" thing must have been a more private thing between Barrett and Waters.

However, the album's title, which was first "coined" in Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame in 1908 did have a meaning. It signalled the begining of the end of the Empire which the writer, who's day job was at the Bank of England, disguised quite well.

Quite a good title for the debut studio album, this was the dawning of Pink Floyd and they definitely were the pipers! Waters went on to bemoan the way of his country (our country) and the world after taking on the position of lyricist after Barrett's departure, in several albums, becoming more and more serious about it.

Early albums were more on the fun side but still taking a poke at the establishment with such as Arnold Layne, "takes two to know" (just my opinion).

Graham, you get much deeper into the lyrics than I do. I must miss a lot by just listening to the music.

Make that three. I think I'm listening to different music to Graham! Either that or he made himself a special, extra insightful amp that he listens on...
