I prefer the instrumental version on Anthology 2.

Check out the film Ice Cube directed for 30 For 30 about the Raiders' in L.A. Al is all over it.

Ironically when Ringo hosted SNL, in the monologue he does a brief duet of the song with Billy Crystal as Sammy Davis, Jr.

Yes, that makes it more interesting.

I prefer the Cocker version to the original, which I don't think is bad but it's not great either. Probably the least interesting song on Pepper.

I think Keanu gets a bad rap for his "clueless" on-screen persona at times (oddly, aside from the Bill and Ted movies he did it really good alongside William Hurt in I Love You To Death). I liked the Side To Side documentary he produced and interviews in, a good look at the possible future of the film industry.

Like Donal Logue, I can't figure out which scenes he has in The Thin Red Line. First I thought he was the guy who was about to throw up who Woody Harrelson berates.

Because outrage is the easiest way of drawing attention it seems.

My favorite line from Stand Up Guys: "We had Starz and Showtime, and I was in lockup".

Roger Dean, who did the majority of Yes' stuff.

I think it started with Conan.

Opeth is better.

"Magic ticket, my butt".

In interviews, he said he didn't care much for Animals. Keyboards are all over the place, but I imagine whatever ideas Rick brought were shelved and later used for his solo album Wet Dream. He's all over The Wall but really was just reduced to a sideman,

Syd actually plays on "Remember A Day" as it was recorded in '67.

Him and David were more complimentary of each other styles, than other bands where the guitarist and keyboard player are competing for attention. It served the music well, and is a major key as to why it's still considered timeless in my opinion.

I really didn't like the 1993 cover with the steel prism. The one for the 2003 SACD cover makes a little sense if you hear Storm talk about it (he talks about it a little 2:45 into this video http://www.youtube.com/watc…. The one for the Immersion edition was a little ridiculous, but I sense it was a bit of a joke

Floyd fans owe it to themselves to get Mind Over Matter a book all about Storm's work with the band. Fortunately it's a big book which means you get a better look at the detail of the work that you would have otherwise needed a magnifying glass to use on the CD sleeve.

I thought Peter Christopherson directed "Owner of a Lonely Heart".

The photographic quality impressed me as a young guy, even seeing them on tiny CD sleevenotes left a deep impression on me. So much so that when I started getting into Yes later on, Roger Dean's artwork didn't leave me very impressed. I appreciate it now, but at the time the drawings he did didn't have that Hipgnosis
