Floyd's Obscured By Clouds

[Paulrus]

I've always enjoyed 'Obscured', a good summer afternoon album.

It IS a summery kind of album. I always felt that Gilmour's rockers were pandering to the sort of rock audience found in LA during the 70's. Very much "Hey, let's hop into my Chevy van and smoke a joint" crowd pleasers, which to me was a big shift from the very British sounding folk and psych rock that had come before. That shift carried over to Dark Side, which helped it sell a bazillion units, but which also alienated a chunk of Floyd's old "underground" audience.
