Tipping The Hat: Carmel Mesiti

13 May 2016 | 3:44 pm | Artist Submission

Which act are you paying tribute to and why? We are celebrating the music of Pink Floyd because they are one of the most commercially successful and influential rock bands of all time!

What was their best period musically? The most memorable/commercial Pink Floyd song growing up for me, was Another Brick In The Wall (1979). Their best period to me would be anything released from Dark Side Of The Moon (1973).

Your favourite song of theirs and why? Wish You Were Here and Great Gig In The SkyTime, Eclipse, Comfortably Numb, Brain Damage. Oops… that's more than one, but there's too many to not include don't you think?

Which album of theirs would you give to a newbie who had no idea about them to best represent them? Dark Side Of The Moon for its progressive and more commercial rock songs. I love that this album was developed during live performances. :)
