Headline is misleading1500 weeks is not the same as a 1500 "anniversary" 1500 weeks works out to be just short of 29 years... give it another 60 weeks and you could call it a 30th anniversaryFor those of you that have a difficult time with the English language, here's a refresher definition of the word "Anniversary" (taken from <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anniversary)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anniversary)</a>An anniversary (from the Latin anniversarium, meaning the turning of the year) is a day that commemorates and/or celebrates an event that occurred on the same day of the year some time in the past. Stop with the sensationalist headlines already.
"Do YOU have your copy?"Copy? Singular? I have it on CD three times, including the gold CD remaster."Best album ever."Look, I love Floyd, and DSotM is an insanely great piece of music, but it's not even the best Floyd album, let alone best album of all times. Animals and Wish You Were Here rank above this one for me. Besides, everyone knows that the best album of all times is <a class="user" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000000L6L/">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000000L6L/</a>
soul is the bad guitarists term for "i cant play well" just...watch/listen to steve vai and try to tell me that Pink Floyd isnt just a group of lazy dumbasses...they have a whole cd of G, C, and D...its like saying Kurt Cobain was a good songwriter...
