Hey thanks Tim. I often have to sit and figure out some of the abbreviations when reading the posts, so your little list will help me.

Oh and here's 2 more. LWFAW (Love Will Find A Way) and BG (Big Generator).

And remember it's 90125 - NOT 90210. :lmao:

Thanks

Most of the abbreviations used simply confuse me, to the point where I stop reading the post.

The abbreviations and acronyms seem geeky.You're on a site for a band that saw it's heyday in the mid-70s...and you expect less than "geeky?"

WTF?

How about adding a few more for other bands we frequently discuss? :beerchugr:

PF = Pink Floyd
Piper or PGD = Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Saucerful = Saucerful of Secrets
AHM = Atom Heart Mother
DSOTM = Dark Side of the Moon
WYWH = Wish You Were Here
MLOR = Momentary Lapse of Reason

I'm sure there are more where the Floyd are concerned, but these are the major ones I can think of at the moment.

I was on this one music site and SOTW was mentioned a lot.
I finally checked into it and found out they were talking about Smoke On The Water.
