The Rock Pod / Welcome To The Floyd Side Of The Moon: The Story of Pink Floyd

"Pink Floyd. A band that gave us deep lyrics, spacey guitars, and a flying pig that almost disrupted London airspace. True story. In this episode of The Rock Pod, we’re talking Syd Barrett’s wild ride, the Dark Side that sold millions, The Wall that Waters built — and the lawsuit that tore it all down. It’s about 9 minutes of prog-rock, power struggles, and pure sonic brilliance. So grab your headphones, light a lava lamp, and let’s get comfortably numb together. Stream ‘Welcome to the Floyd Side of the Moon’ now at TheRockPod.com. Or wherever you get your mind expanded." Listen now! Remember to Like, Follow, and Share! Peace!

The Rock Pod / Billy Squier: The Rise, The Riffs, The Silk Pajamas

Billy Squier wasn’t just a rock star — he was a full-blown riff machine, arena-packer, and the guy who gave us “The Stroke.” But then came one legendary misstep: a pink tank top, satin sheets, and a music video that practically became the blueprint for how not to use MTV.
