Immediacy
To be present in the moment is to hear Pink Floyd.

Each band or performer is graded on four things:
1. Innovation
2. Influence in my life--as a typical American
3. Integrity: the band's approach to music (just making a buck or honing a craft?)
4. Immortality--am I, a typical American--still eager to hear their music
10/7/9/7 = 33 out of a perfect 40

Observation: Two of the band's charter members, Roger Waters and Nick Mason, who met in architectural school in the early 60's, did not read music. The band's lead guitarist, David Gilmour--he of the famously slow, majestic pace, described their make-shift notation for Waters' magnificent music and lyrics as resembling "...architectural diagram(s)". Which proves that even the untaught amateur can become one of the very best at something.
