would you like something to eat Wrote:speaking of the dark side of the moon, isn't it still on like the 'top 30' or 'top 50' charts or something? i gotta do a presentation on why it's the best album ever made for school.

You might mention that, statistically, it is playing every second of every day somewhere in the world...that it stayed on the Billboard charts for over 15 years...and that there is a CD pressing plant in Germany that presses nothing but Dark Side of the Moon.

Is this true?

This was true , at least until 1987... This info is from 'Bricks in the Wall"by Karl Dallas( c 1987) Quite some time ago but I believe DSOTM was the longest album to hold position on the Billboard 500.Not that that means anything .. as Roger said, "if sales made an album great , then that makes Grease a better album than Graceland"

He will never be able to sink the hook into your brain like Roger.So a reunion tour would just be a re-hash. Of course, I would be there if such a show should happen, but Roger has shown he can recruit other fine guitarists ( Clapton, Bramhall,Beck)that have done as well or better than Dave Gilmour.
I get the feeling for Mr Gilmour it would be all about the money.Another Pink Floyd 1987 Ltd tour would have to include a real Gilmour /Waters collaboration.
Roger don't need em.

Man, I could just tear this post apart!! What you consider to be a Pink Floyd reunion must be minus a certain Mr. Waters. What the rest of us consider a reunion is just that, a reunion of ALL (minus Barrett for obvious reasons) members of the Floyd. Secondly, how the heck can you even remotely think that another guitarist could do a better job playing Floyd music than the man who actually IS the sound of Floyd's musical side? Nobody beats the original, just like Floyd isn't quite the same without Roger, they'd be equally different sounding if it had been Dave who had left instead. And finally, who are you to decide what the motivation of Mr. Glimour (as you call him) was by putting the band together again? Don't you think maybe he just loved doing what he was doing and didn't want it to stop just because Roger said so? Roger don't need em, my butt, they all need one another to REALLY be Pink Floyd.

well said man

Didn't they say that the only way they would even consider reuniting is if it were for a benefit or seomthing? They should play at Live Aid 2, it's all for the tsunami victims... with what they brought in alone could probably set those people for life.

I believe the key to any possible reunion is Nick, taking in to consideration his reconcilation with Roger in 2002.

Sadly I believe that the Tsunami Disaster may be the type opportunity for the band to play a benefit gig.

Another thought is they may consider a 40th anniversary reunion. l can never envisage there will ever be any new material released under the name Pink Floyd either as a 3 piece or with Roger.

Atleast VH1 actually still play music. MTV is just full of shite tele shows now.

There is a distinct chance that the Tsunami disaster could prompt another Live Aid style concert. The bad thing is I think the organisers will want to fill it up with manufactured dross from the world of pop music, you know try and get the kids donating money. Lets hope that, if a charity concert ever comes about in the near future, the organisers will be on the phone to Roger, Dave, Nick and Rick before anybody else.
