Otherwise/rest of the time it channels the later .... I Dig a Pony. Dark Side of the Moon? I guess before I die, I could at least spin it while watching the Wizard of Oz, in synch, at least once (but then I'd have to go out and get a copy).I guess we could compare licorice pizza libraries, and see where they line up/compare? I still play and enjoy the Pink Flo Flo, just not Dark Side. Just as I play the Beatles (but rarely if ever the White Album).
People change, their tastes and interests. Some years I'm down on the Supremes, and the next I'm buying and listening (still can't spin Sly and the Family Stone, as much as I played him in my teens). I guess you stil have the same level of like/desire/interest in artists you did at five? Ten? Twenty years old? Robert Johnson, hmmm .... send me your's and I'll tell you if you should keep it?

Follow Ups:
Guess my point was that personal change, changes in tastes and interests, etc, while significant to the individual ---- do not really affect a musical work or it's value.I don't have, or listen to, the Monkee's records that I did as a child.
But even in their case, my sagging interest doesn't make lesser pop-songs out of Last Train To Clarksville or Daydream Believer .Some of early Mozart is pretty simplistic to my ears these days, but I can't see calling Mozart "overated" on that basis.
Pink Floyd, take it or leave it. But I won't say DSOTM wasn't their (I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone .
Would you ??

In spite of the fractured DNA that created them, still fun to listen to (and sun-of-a-gun, saw them live some four decades ago). I won't knock DSOTM's place in the historical hiearchy. Just that well some things can, and have been taken a little too seriously. Particularly in the immediacy of their (then) time frame. I still much enjoy The Wall, but listening to it, one can't help but feel a tiny bit of Row-jay taking himself a little too seriously as well.I go with the flow, wherever the notes take me. Doesn't mean I can't laugh at myself along the way, for my own musical seriousness. Some works soar. Some sail to the heavens. And some .... well, aren't the answer to the meaning of life. However much we may have believed it then.
Actually, it's the other way around.
