Pink Floyd is overrated

Get used to it.

It's stupid that we are having all of these "bashing" threads.  Last week, it was the rating threads,and the week before, "Queen arent prog threads," seriously, when are stupid threads like this going to end.  People have a right to their opinions, but if they cant back them up, then why even start a controversy or argument.

btw: using that many explcitives is only acceptable when they are followed by either  or even a .

Who is David Gilmores? Syd Barret was the guitarrist in PINK FLOYD, atleast for me. And though Steve Howe is a good guitarrist, i don't think he has done anything musically interesting after the early 80's.

I cannot stand the Who they do absolutely nothing for me oh and Pink Floyd rule it takes time to really get into them but i am thoroughly hooked. But i have to admit that at times Nick Mason's drumming really lets them down. If they'd had an equivalent of Bruford on drums they would have been utterly mental!

Anyway PF did what they did and it works for me so shine on you crazy diamonds!

though zooka23 seems to get kicked out soon because of his hars attitude (no offense!), he has a point:

IMHO PF is not total crap, but have very dull moments, and I agree that they are to prog what Rolling Stones is to Rock in general...

OVERRATED!!!!

Yes kicks their ass in each one of their periods in comparison... (well, with the possible exception of Big Generator!!!)
Let's leave aside the "popular" ones, and look for some unconquered grounds...

P.S. that one particular band is popular doesn't mean it sucks, and vice versa is always true. But most of the time the most popular acts are definitely overrated. This is particularly the case as with PF, which is quite popular among the non-prog listeners!)

How old that guy(Zooka23) is to have that kind of language, sorry but the kindergarden is close for the summer so wait until this fall!

By the way, they have many crappy stuff like Ummagumma, saucerful of secret, obscured by cloud, most of the Gilmour period and.......one of the weakest drummer ever !!!

Well he's obviously doing something right.

And not trying to sound like Peart or Palmer isn't a bad thing.  Weak, possibly, but Mason is a damn solid drummer.

Well, DSOTM did get to be #1 in the album countdown of the Q/Mojo prog special issue recently, which in my eyes is an indication of overrating the band, at least in the framework of progressive music. I absolutely love DSOTM but it's not the most essential prog album by a long shot...I'm not sure if it even IS prog. (OK, I will now put the lock tightly back on that huge can of worms, I promise! )
