Pink Floyd Lord of the Lost

it's time to swap out one for me.... I'm losing Pink Floyd and Evanescence and replacing with German goth-rockers Mono Inc and Lord of the Lost - only discovered them during lockdown and absolutely love them. Are they as good as PF? Almost certainly not, but if it was only down to how good someone is technically then you're going to miss some great music
