We had a gripping prison drama on HBO called *OZ* ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118421/ ), it was dripping with homoeroticism so none of you would like it I'm sure.

So only gay people watched OZ then? I don't think so!
 
For the record though, Prisoner Cell Block H was always considered to have large gay following. I have no idea why though. For a drama set in a woman's prison there was hardly any lesbian content in it, I think The Freak was one of the only gay characters.

Was his name Charles?

By the way, did you know there was a biography of Sheila Florance (Lizzie)? I've always been in two minds whether to read it. By all accounts she was an amazing character in real life https://www.amazon.com/Sh...rtineau/dp/1514497077/

There is a film "A Woman's Tale" that is incredible, and I think it was the last thing that Sheila ever did. Paul Cox's film in insanely amazing, and her performance is incredible.

If you see the film, in many ways I think this is the biography come to life!

To each their own.  I don't have any pink, but someday I do want to have some in my collection.  I like dsotm, but is that the one I should get?  I also like wywh, I think that is the one I should get?  Did they ever do a greatest hits, or should I steer clear of those?

Echoes is their two CD greatest hits collection but, since many of their albums have themes, you would definitely miss out on those.

OK, thanks for the word.  I might try Echoes to see if it leads me to the other albums that are theme based.  I think first I must do some more listening on the old youtube.

The most popular album is, by far, Dark Side of the Moon but the Wall was pretty well known too (especially since they made a movie for it).  Although there are some very good songs on these, I find I'm tired of them and play them the least.  The albums prior to DSOTM (especially the first ones) are all excellent examples of 60's psychedelica with folksy pop tunes.  Meddle (two prior to DSOTM) has some great atmospheric songs and not as vocal pop.  Wish You Were Here comes right after DSOTM and shows them taking synths and progressive themes to a new level.  Animals is almost a wonderful side oddity in my opinion.  I'm also a fan of Division Bell.
 
There's some definite evolution (as with most good bands) but, for the most part, if you like one or two of their albums, you probably will like most or all of them.  My least favorite songs are of the spoken word variety, though most are there to tell some part of an overall story.

Parts of Echoes,mostly instrumental were used out here in the 70's for the soundtrack of a surf film called Chrystal Voyager to stunning effect.
saw it a few times when acid was popular ...............
