Quote:Really? I wouldn't say that it's my favorite tune on the album, but I wouldn't think of it as a contender for the worst song on DSOTM either. But, I've never really thought about the "air time" aspect/take on it ~ which does seem to make a point, it is by far one of their most radio friendly songs of that era, perhaps you're onto something.
You have to understand where I'm coming from. Pink Floyd was new, spacey, experimental...an oasis in an otherwise desert of pop music when I was young. By far my favorite band and influenced what I listened to growing up and even now. When they put out a "Pop" song I assumed it was to get airplay and was probably a strict business move to get them some well deserved recognition. They are not a pop band in any way shape or form, but only an old guy like me who grew up with them would probably think that about that song.
