Episode 30 - Pink Floyd "Meddle"
Episode 30 covers the sixth Pink Floyd studio album, 1971's "Meddle." With no material to work with and no clear idea of the album's direction, the band devised a series of novel experiments which eventually inspired the album's signature track "Echoes". Although the band's later albums would be unified by a central theme with lyrics written entirely by Roger Waters, Meddle was a group effort with lyrical contributions from each member, and is considered a transitional album between the Syd Barrett-influenced group of the late 1960s and the emerging Pink Floyd. Mark, Kevin, Alex, and Chris take you on a historical journey surrounding the album as well as share our favorites and not-so favorites from the record. We go on a deep dive track-by-track listen of this progressive rock album as well as share personal stories of discovering Pink Floyd's "Meddle." Tune in next week for Episode 31 covering the seventh Pink Floyd studio album "Obscured by Clouds."Available at https://lightthesky.net/podcasts/pink-floyd/meddle/ and on all podcast streaming platforms (just search "Light the Sky Podcast.")Follow "Light the Sky Podcast" on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to stay up-to-date with all things LTS.Website: https://lightthesky.net/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lighttheskypodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LighttheSkyPod1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LightTheSkyPodcast/
