Your Picks!!

For my last assigned blog post I have decided to take the suggestions I asked for in one of my first blog posts and tell y’all about music other people like.

First we start with Pink Floyd, thanks to Ms.Payseur for this suggestion :). Pink Floyd formed in London England at Cambridge High School.


The main members remembered now are Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright.
I
t is amazing this band even made any songs; most bands don’t survive if their lead singer, chief  songwriter, and leader leave. Pink Floyd made it through victorious not one but two times.


Syd, Roger, and David were all friends in high school but after graduation decided to go their separate ways. David went to an art school, Syd just wandered the English countryside, and Roger went to an architecture school in London.


Roger soon met Nick and Rick; they formed a band called Sigma 6. This arrangement didn’t last long; Roger,Nick, and Rick left to join Syd to form Pink Floyd.

The name Pink Floyd is in honor of blues musicians Pinkney “Pink” Anderson and Floyd Council.
Pink Floyd had many number one hits the years they performed including “See Emily Play”, “Apples and Oranges”, “Jugband Blues”, and many many more.


The bands' album The Dark Side Of The Moon is currently the number two selling album in all of history behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller.  


The band broke up in 1983 after a bum album. They have however released albums after this with the help of Roger and David trying to regroup the band.

The next band comes from Brandon; I’ve noticed a lot of the music Brandon has on his iPod is by Theory of a Deadman.


Theory of a Deadman is a Canadian rock band that formed in 2001.


Tyler Connolly, Dean Back, and David Brenner make up the band. The band has no real drummer in their line up but from 2010 to the present Joey Dandeneau has been their drummer.


All three of the members grew up around the same neighborhood and worked in the same restaurant.


The band currently has four records out, their self titled album Theory of a Deadman, Gasoline, Scars and Souvenirs, and the newest one The truth Is...;with Scars and Souvenirs being a gold record.

The band received the Juno Award for New Group of the Year in 2003.
Hit singles from their various albums include ‘Little Smirk”, “Wait for Me”, “Not Meant to Be”, and “So Happy”.


I like this band; their songs are just catchy and good when you’re going through a rough time with a relationship. (I recommend “The Truth Is...(I Lied About Everything), “Say Goodbye”, and “Heaven (Little By Little)”; these are just a few of my favorite songs by them.






I hope this post will open you up to new bands and leave some more suggestions for later posts. I hope to keep this up even though the assignment has ended.

With love and music in my heart,
Montana <3
