The most brilliant kind, lets share and discuss. I just came up with this today: I've pondered this pretty thouroughly, and it makes sense. Mind you, I've not heard the whole discography, so there could be things which don't fit. Anyways, Here goes. I'll refer to Pink Floyd as though that were his name. Piper At The Gates of Dawn, he's a child, young, silly, magical. Utterly innocent and charming. Then you get to the Ummagumma-Obscured by Clouds era. He's in his mid-teens. Moody, weird, smokes a lot of dope, drops acid. Ummagumma could be a monumental acid trip that was both great and terrifying. Obscured by the clouds, a crazy tropical vacation. Then comes Dark Side of The Moon, he's grown up, his genius had fully fruited, peak years at the time of Dark Side he's also broke, a little bummed out, and feels like life is running out and he's gotta do something, yet its also idyllic (and acidic) at the same time. At Wish You Were here, he's kinda missing childhood. The Wall and after is a mid-life crisis, and the damaged/healing years after. Division Bell is old age, being nostalgic, but obviously still has it. Then, death, Echoes would be the remembrance of that great life. Finally, the soul carries on (I don't mean to give David Gilmour too much credit here, but who else did an album? Roger Waters? you expel wast when you die/are old and incontinent too. How did he turn to crap after he left anyway?) with On An Island, not Pink Floyd, but the essence of it. It could be the other albums blow that out of the water, I dunno. But thats my theory for now.
