Been decorating the kitchen yesterday so spent the day listening to Aussie Pink Floyd as I'm going to see them in a few weeks, must say they are pretty good maybe the singer who was doing the Rodger Walters songs was the only let down.

This may be a stupid question but why not listen to the originals? Surely the intention of these tribute bands is to sound exactly like the originals. I can sort of see the attraction in seeing tribute bands live if there is no way you can see the originals, but struggle to see why you would listen to a tribute band trying to do perfect copies of the original, when you can just listen to the originals instead. Or have I missed something, do the tribute bands do their own songs based on the style of the originals?

Not normally a fan of tribute bands, saw a Fleetwood Mac one a few years ago and they were that poor I nearly walked out, seeing as I got tickets to see them and they apparently are that good I wanted to hear them.

Agree with you that listening to the originals is best but I googled a track on my iPad and as I was busy painting just let the tracks keep playing.

Aussie Pink Floyd are brilliant and its a full stage show a la Floyd. Granted the voices are different but the musicianship is brilliant and authentic to the original

The Cure - Disintegration. One of my favourite albums of all time. On vinyl, with a bottle of red and a couple of bored dogs. Sometimes, just sometimes, life throws a perfect hour at you.

At work, yesterday evening, had Rude Boy Revival on at top volume...
Everyone that walked past my room tapped on the glass with a full on smile and a :thup:...
Proper feelgood sounds...


This morning, whilst doing a bit of baking, it has to be Ultimate Kylie...
Really helps with my stirring...
