Moved: I converted someone... feel kinda warm inside

On my dorm floor there's this simple jockish guy (hockey player) who hurt his back and was prescribed a bunch of big horsepills and muscle relaxants by the doctors. Hence he's spent a good deal of time being spaced out, one of the relaxants supposedly could cause mild hallucinations. As a kind of lark we played music for him and I gave him PATGOD, and he came out of the album a convert to Early Pink Floyd even after his drugged state (he didn't actually trip or anything at all).

Feel almost like I did some sort of good samaritan work, don't think I've known many people who grew to like Syd's stuff.

I thought you were going to say you played him "Comfortably Numb" considering his condition!

Congratulations! It's always a good feeling to know you've opened someone up to some good music.

I made a fan out of Pink Floyd in just two syllables...Echoes. All 24 minutes of it and he was convinced that is the greatest song ever.

I can't make anyone a Pink Floyd fan

Nobody i know likes them much, they're all in to Led Zepplin and Jimi Hendrix a lot more

most of my friends think pink floyd is good, but not to the point where they would own more than 2 albums, which i think is fine

I seem to be becoming the resident Pink Floyd messiah in my dorm, a number of people are borrowing my Floyd stuff.

Yeah, always nice to be considered the weirdo who likes Pink Floyd a bit to much in school

Don't remember the to tall thread but i felt this thread was more about Pink Floyd than just a general discussion (which is off course meant to be about anything except Pink Floyd) and so i moved it here. Just incase anyone for some reason particularly wants to read about this sort of thing they can find it in the apropreite forum

Trust me, if you're ever a mod it becomes an imediate reaction to move anything to make it apropreite, for this reason you tend to get a bit picky

Basically this is a pink floyd centred topic so it belongs here

yeah. i understand why this thread was moved to here but my "quick question" was moved in General board?

makes no sense.

I recently converted my younger sister to a Floyd fan. She listens to The Wall quite frequently now. She says he favorite songs are Another Brick Part 2 and The Trial (:shock:). I'm about to get her to listen to Wish You Were Here and Animals.
