<p>Rock fans all know Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here — but what if there was a secret, more experimental album that never saw the light of day?</p>
<p>That album was Household Objects, and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.</p>
<p>Following the success of their 1973 album, the legendary band set out to create something even riskier — a project built entirely from sounds made by everyday items.</p>
<p>The idea actually dated back to the late '60s, during the Atom Heart Mother era, but didn't take real shape until a few years later.</p>
<p>Eventually, they stepped into the studio with engineer Alan Parsons and began recording. Tracks like "The Hard Way," which used a rubber band for a bassline, and "Wine Glasses" — you can probably guess how that one sounded — started to come together.</p>
<p>As groundbreaking as the idea was, it didn't quite land as the group quickly returned to their instruments.</p>
<p>In a 2007 BBC documentary, Richard Wright remembered telling Roger Waters, "Roger, this is insane!" David Gilmour agreed, saying much of it just sounded like "plonky noises" and ultimately felt "unsatisfying."</p>
<p>Despite that, Household Objects kept resurfacing whenever the band hit a creative block. Waters even teased to Zigzag magazine that their household-made music was "turning into a really nice piece."</p>
<p>For weeks, they experimented — scraping broomsticks, hitting wood with axes — trying to turn things around them into their next big hit.</p>
<p>Eventually, they shelved the project, and it's hard to argue with that decision.</p>
<p>After abandoning Household Objects, Waters turned his focus to the theme of loss — which would become the foundation for Wish You Were Here. An album, now considered one of the greatest of all time, with over 20 million copies sold worldwide.</p>
<p>Still, not everyone was ready to let go. Parsons later admitted, "I was rather disappointed it never came to anything."</p>
