This should keep us going until next March! What we usually do with a Time Team is post up opinions / reviews of each album, seeing which bits we like and which we hate. It's a great opportunity to find out about a band. We'll start off with discussing Piper At The Gates of Dawn on the 22nd November, then do one album a week until they're all thoroughly covered!

With Pink Floyd CDs at 2 for Ten Pounds at HMV (instore only), there's not been a better time to get started. Or if you're not that Prog, feel free to turn up just for Dark Side of The Moon.

So get on your Bike for Saturday 22nd November, when we'll shine a Pow R Toc H on Piper At The Gates of Dawn.


A WORD ABOUT THE FORMAT -
I've deliberately avoided copying out reams of information about the Floyd - there's so much on Wikipedia, Pink Floyd & Co and in mountains of books and other refernces that there seemed little point copying it all out here! Instead I've gone for:

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION -
Dates recorded, date released, chart positions, songwriting credits (These become increasingly important later on!)

TRACK LIST -
You should know what this is.

HOT LINKS -
Web resources for each album.

ALSO IN XXXX -
Other albums released in the same year, to give musical context.

I'd also like to do MARKS OUT OF 5 for each album, so we can do a Pink Floyd chart at the end of the time team!
