makes "Epic Rock Tracks" list
"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" No. 4 on Mojo list
Mojo
magazine has named Pink Floyd's "Shine
on You Crazy Diamond" No. 4 on its "100 Epic Rock Tracks"
list. The list appears in the magazine's April issue.
"Floyd's
nine-part epic drifts, like bong smoke, over two sides of the original
vinyl LP," the article states, "driven by a four-note
guitar figure as exciting as it is simple."
"Shine
on You Crazy Diamond," a tribute to departed band member Syd
Barrett, appeared on the band's 1975 album "Wish
You Were Here."
The magazine's
top five epic rock tracks are:
- Bohemian
Rhapsody/Queen
- Stairway
to Heaven/Led Zeppelin
- Sympathy
for the Devil/Rolling Stones
- Shine on
You Crazy Diamond/Pink Floyd
- The End/The
Doors
