Students on the UW Oshkosh campus listen to all different types of music. This week, Radio TV Film student Thomas Heisel decided to share with the Advance-Titan what his taste is.

Heisel said that his all-time favorite band is Pink Floyd, but Led Zeppelin and Queen are also some of the very best.

“I find [Pink Floyd’s] music to really speak to me,” he said.

Heisel said more about his love of Pink Floyd, saying that his favorite album of theirs is “Wish You Were Here.”

“That album is a really soulful album, it’s dedicated to an old bandmate of theirs, Syd Barrett,” he said. “It’s just a wonderful album, it’s got the song ‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond,’ which is 15 minutes long in total but it’s a wonderful composition of nine parts. It’s really good. The album is just a beautiful tribute that just makes you happy, sad and angry. It gives you all those feelings in one.”

Recently, he has also been listening to more Led Zeppelin. Currently, he said he is working through their album “In Through The Out Door.”

“It’s a really interesting album,” he said. “A lot of people don’t seem to like it but I find some of it good. There is a song called ‘Hot Dog’ which is a folk-rock song that people just didn’t like but I dig it, it’s fun.”

The last thing Heisel discussed is what he thinks more students should be listening to which, predictably, was Pink Floyd.

“I think a lot of people should give them more of a try, especially if you’re going for a walk,” he said. “I’d say a lot from their album, ‘The Wall’ has a really good rhythm to walk to.”

For those who are not sure if they could get into the band, Heisel also recommended what he thinks is a great album to start with.

“I’d say a starting point is ‘The Division Bell.’” he said. “It’s a very good entry level kind of album where it has some of their weirdness and avant-garde kind of stuff but it’s mixed with more traditional, slightly shorter songs.”

If you want to listen to the music mentioned above, it can be streamed anywhere you listen to music.
