Agree about Floyd - surely I can't be the only one who thinks DSOTM these
days sounds lifeless and plodding. I think that's why I got so much out of
the three Pink Floyd tribute CD's - classic songs given whole new leases of
life by modern artsists who keep faithful to the feel and structure of the
originals - I listen to these more than I listen to Floyd!!
As to the Hawks, most albums still sound surprisingly contemporary.
