Wish You Were Here

Greatly Appreciated

WISH YOU WERE HERE

 
Wish You Were Here  is the ninth studio album by the English progressive rock group Pink Floyd, released in September 1975.  The premise of the album was based on a song written by the band called "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a tribute to Barrett, who, coincidentally, made an impromptu visit to the studio while it was being recorded.  "Shine On" was split into two parts and bookended the album around three new compositions, forming a new concept similar to their previous album, The Dark Side of the Moon.  Band members Richard Wright and David Gilmour have each cited Wish You Were Here as their favorite Pink Floyd album.  (More from Wikipedia)

 

 
Basically, all I remember about the 1980's band Steel Breeze is their name, which is taken from a lyric in a Pink Floyd song, "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".  (The song and the album from which it is taken, Wish You Were Here are dedicated to their troubled original bandleader Syd Barrett).
