"She"? Hahaha.

Anyway, I *do* like Pink Floyd... The music, anyway. I just don't like the band itself.

You get a cookie! *hands you a cookie* (Glen Matlock noticed his spikey, green hair as well as his shirt. We can all thank Glen for getting John in)

And I like most of what I've heard, however, Another Brick In The Wall is boring, in my opinion.

I'm a big Floyd fan. My favourite albums being The Wall, Animals, and Dark Side of the Moon. Basically their middle-period, the 70s. Their early stuff, 50s and 60s, as well as their later stuff, 80s, is also appreciated by me, just not as much.

Sorry if the gender is wrong. I live in Brazil and an -ia ending to a name is female in Portuguese. (Cultural assumption that should not have applied)

So I take it you know the members of the band personally then if you don't like them but do like their music.

No, not personally. They're just full of themselves. Of course, that bio I read could've had a certain amount of spin added to it (like the one I read about MC5). I'll do some extra reading about them and come to a final conclusion.

I really enjoy some of their music, but they tend to get a bit wanky & tedious.

One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces...


Alright, I'll stop with the lyric quoting-but only to say that that was the best part of the last tour (Look, if I could build a wayback machine and go all the way back to the late sixties and see them with Syd and Waters I would, but I can't so I took what I could get-leave me alone old timers...)

Personally, I love Floyd. Great band, great music, great experiance. And even if someone does not particularly like Floyd, at least show some respect to one of the most influential bands of all time. Opinions are great, but not un-based attacks.

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be...

...Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down
It's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

dostm wasn't their best album though

I happen to think it is, but to each their own.

Thanks for finishing the song though :)

DSOTM is good, but similar to Another Brick In The Wall Pt.2, it's incredibly over-rated, not to mention the only thing by the Floyd most people have ever heard of. Stupid people.

Their best albums, are Animals, Meddle and Obscured By Clouds. Fantastic albums.
Obviously DSOTM and afterwards, Waters discovered himself as a lyricist and kicked ass with songs, with Gilmour's kickass guitar work just complimenting it all further.
Gilmour is a god. 'Nuff said :p

Meh, Pink Floyd are easily one of, if not the greatest band ever, no questions.

No one (including me) has hit what I think is some of the best lyrics-

You run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking.
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same, in a relative way, but you're older.
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

That fucks with you more and more the longer you live with it.

Terrible.

Go listen to some Jazz.

Well Ravea, maybe you did not read what I posted a bit earlier here, but regardless of if you LIKE Pink Floyd or not, you sure as hell cannot simply ATTACK the band as being bad. If you don't like the music, say so, instead of giving generalizations and completely incorrect statements that just make you sound opinionated and frankly, stupid.

Gibralter, I'll agree that it is over-rated, but not without reason. DSOTM and Wish You Were Here are my favorite albums, but you might be right about the others being actually better quality. I'll still argue though :p
