Pink Floyd are one of my favourite bands. And The Great Gig in the Sky is one of those songs that makes me think. And go 'ooh, PRETTY', as well. I'm always in awe of that woman's voice, and I think it's telling that when they perform/ed it live they need/ed (tense shifts courtesy of Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters both still performing it in their solo concerts despite Pink Floyd sort of being disbanded) at least two vocalists to do the solo, instead of the one (Clare Torrey, I think her name was. Off the top of my head cos I'm too lazy to wikipedia it or find the album cover...) So yeah. Love the Floyd. And thanks :)
