"There's someone in my head, but it's not me"
Favorite tracks: "Breathe (In The Air)", "Time", "The Great Gig In The Sky", "Money", "Us and Them", "Any Colour You Like", "Brain Damage", "Eclipse"
It may be a cliché in this day and age, but it's a cliché for a reason. Simply put, one of the best things I've ever heard and experienced in my life. I just love it. [First added to this chart: 04/12/2017]
