Milk Carton Kids Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd followed the commercial breakthrough of Dark Side of the Moon with Wish You Were Here, a loose concept album about and dedicated to their founding member Syd Barrett. The record unfolds gradually, as the jazzy textures of "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" reveal its melodic motif, and in its leisurely pace, the album shows itself to be a warmer record than its predecessor. Musically, it's arguably even more impressive, showcasing the group's interplay and David Gilmour's solos in particular. And while it's short on actual songs, the long, winding soundscapes are constantly enthralling. The Immersion Edition of Wish You Were Here expands the double-CD Deluxe set with two DVDs and a Blu-ray…

In celebration of the group's 20th Anniversary, The TEN Tenors release Wish You Were Here, an album of material from iconic performers who have passed on including Prince, David Bowie, Michael Hutchence of INXS, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Roy Orbison and more. The album is a journey through some of the world's greatest hits, from the classic rock anthems of Queen, "We Are the Champions," and David Bowie, "Heroes" to unique "tenorial" takes on material by Michael Jackson, "The Way You Make Me Feel," and Whitney Houston "I Wanna Dance With Somebody".

Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd. It was released on 12 September 1975 by Harvest Records in the United Kingdom and a day later by Columbia Records in the United States. The album topped record charts in both regions. Inspired by material the group composed while performing around Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded during numerous recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios in London, England. Two of the album's four songs criticise the music business, another expresses alienation and the multi-part track "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a tribute to Syd Barrett.

Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock music.
"It could be made into a monster if we all pull together as a team"
Pink Floyd were smart with this album. Given the overwhelming success of its predecessor, they could easily have tried to create "Dark side of the moon, 2".
