[edit] The "Pink Floyd chord"?

I may have added a huge digression with all the stuff I mentioned about the E minor ninth. The list isn't necessarily germane to "Paint Box". Maybe it belongs more in the actual Pink Floyd article. But I'm wondering, does anyone out there think it might be semi-appropriate to designate Em9, or Em(add9), the "Pink Floyd chord"? I mean this only in the sense that people refer to the E7#9 chord as the "Hendrix chord". To the educated musicians, the jazz and classical players, both cases might seem outrageously silly. But as far as rock/pop is concerned, is there any other band which uses the minor ninth chord so prominently and so often?

Hell, I didn't even mention that "Dogs" from the Animals album is completely based around a Dm9. I didn't want to confuse people by changing the key. --63.25.117.132 (talk) 15:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
