I see you liked to put an album on, lie back and listen. I had a disturbing acid trip while doing so to side 2 of Meddle.

A somewhat wacky version of Supper's Ready

PF's "Sheep" is the song that produced an extremely detailed and vivid set of visuals inside my head, as if I had just seen a video that in reality never existed. And I've never done acid, so that wasn't what caused it. Even today, 30+ years later I still see that exact same imaginary video every time I hear the song.

I much prefer Collins' version on Seconds Out, which is ironic considering it was PG's song.

Uncle Tupelo covering "I Wanna Be Your Dog"

The Birthday Party, "Mutiny In Heaven"

Cat Power, "Rockets"/"Still In Love"

Dizzee Rascal, "I Luv U"
The Rapture, "House of Jealous Lovers"

I thought these two forecast a much brighter musical future than actually happened
