As sprawling as their earlier epic *The Dark Side of the Moon* yet more focused, this 1975 jewel featured lengthy, left-of-center excursions (“Shine on You Crazy Diamond”) that were both majestic and reverent—along with a couple barbs thrown at the music industry (\"Have a Cigar,\" \"Welcome to the Machine\"). It\'s also partly Pink Floyd’s anguished and glorious tribute to the gifted Syd Barrett—whose career with the band ended seven years earlier—and a moving set from top to bottom.
