Ep 25: Pink Floyd Pt1. Rob’s faves from the “Middle Period” [Playlist included]
Rob and Shae initiate Rich into the “middle” era of Pink Floyd
Guests: Shae Cottar and Robert Rabel
I have traditionally not been a big fan of Pink Floyd, I didn’t actively dislike their music but it just wasn’t for me for whatever reason. But two of my best friends and collaborators are HUGE Pink Floyd fans…. So we figured the only sensible thing to do would be to force feed me floyd until I love it… results pending.
