#12 Dark Side of The Moon
#40 The Wall
#71 Wish You Were Here
#83 Animals
#174 Meddle
#175 Discovery Studio Box Set


Not bad, considering neither Waters nor Gilmour played the death card this week. The power of good promo can do a lot for an old group (take note, Journey)

Also, a couple of oldtimers return to the chart after a long absence.

Daryl Hall at #142 with his new album Laughing Down Crying and at #148, the Bangles with their latest effort Sweetheart Of The Sun.

Ya, I saw their 16CD boxed set at Costco. Probably where the numbers are coming in. Very reasonably priced too, was tempted.......

Not sure this surprises me, considering every classic rock station in the country plays a Floyd tune every 4 or 5 songs, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I actually like Pink Floyd, but I sure tire of hiring them so much on terrestial radio.

I remember seeing them live years ago and I totally remember this song standing out, for me anyway, love when that song just kicks in...........one VERY cool experience. LOL, mind you it was Pink Floyd and it was a long time ago, so there may have been other influences involved. :lol:
